I loved season 1 so much, in spite of being quite disappointed in the finale. I didn't want it to end and to satisfy my craving for more Wheel of Time, I got the first couple of books. But then I noticed in reviews the absolute enjoyment being experienced and reported by people who never read the books vs. The many complaints and lower ratings from those who had read them. So, I decided to wait. After all, I can pick them up at any time. I actually had them on my to read list before the show came along. Anyway, to get to the point, I'm so glad I decided to wait because while the readers are disappointed in any number of issues, I, on the other hand, have been loving this show so much!! The story, the gorgeous clothes, the scenery and overall depiction of the world of WOT - and the acting! Every one of the cast is amazing but I must say, for me, Rosamund Pike stands out. I'm also a bit smitten with Da iel Henney as Lan Mandragoran. What a great character. I love how he literally had Moraine's back against all attackers on the beach.

This episode was a perfect finale and has 100% redeemed WOT from the less than okay finale of season 1. Storylines converge, the Two Rivers friends reunite, bad guys get what's coming to them, prophesies come to pass and the stage is set for season 3.

What will happen? Forsaken are risen, the Amyrlin Seat is dead, a number of the Aes Sedai are lost, Egwene is stronger than ever but possibly changed, Perrin will have a target on his back for killing Hopper's murderer, and $and is now proclaimed as The Dragon Reborn!! Whew. Hope we don't have to wait too long.

I've been doing reviews ever since I became a member of Imdb. For some reason, only the last couple or 3 years of reviews are here. Nonetheless, I am here again to say that this is one of the top sci fi shows of all time. Funny enough, when it first aired it was recommended to me and I sort of took a quick look and said nah, i don't think so. Later, I decided to give it another go and thank heavens for that. I have rewatched the entire series about once a year ever since. The sci fi component is great, on its own, but at the heart of the show are the characters and the relationhips.

The classic themes are all here, fathers and sons, friends, lovers, enemies.. there is character growth, change, regret, guilt redemption.. It is intriguing, funny, hopeful and at times heartbreaking. Every actor is perfect in their roles. Acting talent really shines when applied to dual roles. John Nobel as Walter and Walternate was outstanding! I can't even express how Wesome Anna Torv was as Olivia and her counterpart. I'm a fan of her work and adored Olivia. But man I hated Fauxlivia!!! It was hard to remember this was the same peeson. I couldn't stand her and what she did to our Olivia got me so riled up. Lol. I thank everyone who had a part to play in bringng Fringe to life for us. What an amazing and unique series.

Great cast. Love to see the themes of girl power, and wish we had more of these kick ass girls in entertainment when i was young. Love the banter and the action. Good job planting clues that you have to look for, but whicn are not hudden for an ending that makes no sense. I feel it could have been improved so much if Moriarty had been more restrained, more subtle. I think her speech was too much because we could see it all, without being hammered wih it. Classic 'show mw, dont tell me'. I see that character playing their cards close to the chest. Moriarty is not an emotional character, but very analytical, always thinking and plotting. I would have liked to see the movie end with the Holmes crew realizing it was her, but by then she's in the wind. Moriarty wouldn't walk in there exposing her (or his, as the case may be) identity and being arrested. Otherwise, I was glad when i saw this was based on a true story. The real Sarah Chapman must have been quite something.

Some of the things that bugged other folks didn't bother me at all. I liked the jokes, the kids, the romance, and the basic premise which is that love triumphs over revenge. The only bit I didn't like was Russell Crowe as Zeus the egotistical. Was the accent meant to be Greek? Look, as we get older the metabolism slows and the pounds go on. I am a prime example. But wouldn't the powerful Zeus , God of Gods, have more of a "God bod", as it's called when Thor gets back in shape? With the bulging golden armor and little white skirt it was all a bit cringey. Zeus aside, there are some honestly good scenes, some character growth, and some really decent action. And.. I liked the soundtrack.
