Yup Another not so obvious one imho is OreSeur. Yes he's allegiances were bought by Kelsier, he had default Kandra personality as far as we know, but he was one of the most important parts of the revolution. He just got offed so wrongly and no one cared about it :\

If anyone remembers his name, please share it with me Nothing special but liked the guy and he's death was so bad-time-bad-place it kinda made him special for me(not many characters dying like that in Sanderson's books).

Just marathoned both seasons. First half of season one, not so good but nowhere near bad either. Then I couldn't stop watching it :D Overall quality of the show is astounding. Are they even making any profit out of it? It just looks too good to be a 22 episode show and it's not that popular or well liked(7.5 rating on imdb was one of the reasons I didn't watch it sooner). Looks aside, stories are so well put together and good compared to other 22 episode shows I've seen(especially comic book based ones) it's unbelievable. At last someone doing more story in 22 episode seasons instead of just stretching out a story that should be done in 12 episodes and filling it with fillers. And it fits so nicely with MCU! Characters were one of the other reasons I wasn't interested in AoS at first, but they've come so far after season one. OMG! I CAN'T EVEN!! :D I want season 3 RIGHT NOW! and season 4 and season 5 and and and...

"-I have failed this city?" :D

Metalic Arts, Awakening and Forgery are some of the best magic-systems ever imho. Malazan has it's ups and downs but still up there as well. Brent Weeks is doing fine as well, especially in Lightbringer. One that I can't see in this topic is Patrick Rothfuss and even if his magic-systems aren't as unique, the way they are executed and put into the world is phenomenal(yes I used that word ). Powder Mage Trilogy has good stuff as well. I'm forgetting something here...

Officially my name is "Nicolouz"(should be Nikoloz, but someone made a mistake), though no one normally calls me that. Most of the times it's Nika and I'm okay with it. Niko I don't like. Nikush/a I like only from females or good friends.

Well I doubt Zahel will get as much attention as secondary characters but that doesn't means he can't be important. Sanderson can and will pull off Nightblood in SA without making Warbreaker a must-read. All I'm saying "what if" he could pull of same thing with Zahel? Would you still be disappointed? Roshar is different from other worlds we've seen. It has much more magical possibilities that would make sense than any others. It is possible that BS could explain Awakening without going into Warbreaker and without making it feel out of place. That's all I'm saying. What if there's a Surge that resembles Awakening? What if one of the Orders can give commands to inanimate object that aren't limited by transformation? What if Nightwatcher is linked to Endowment instead of Cultivation? Even if not, Nightwatchers restrictions and limitations don't fit our normal magic-system formula. "Zahel's different because Old Magic. End of discussion" is very much possible right now. Just saying that at this point in the series, nothing's impossible.

Dropout... kinda. I'll be back though

If Wit/Hoid can play an important role in SA there's no reason why Vasher couldn't. Problem with Vasher using Awakening "maybe ruining SA for fans who don't like crossovers or just WB" is nothing compared to what Hoid can do. Thing is, BS will pull this off so well that everyone will love it anyway so there's nothing to worry about Obviously, if he decides to do it and I personally think that Zahel isn't just a small cameo that won't be doing anything important. But I'm sure he won't be getting as much attention as most of the side characters have been getting so far.

I would still describe Mentalist as a sitcom. Yes there are 3-4 episodes of drama in a season, but then there are 20 episodes of situational comedy as well. I didn't mean others as sitcoms though. DD can't be compared to anything except MCU or other comic based shows when nobody watching it watches anything that can be actually compared to DD. I mean, it has much more in common with some of the shows I listed than any of comic book based shows right now. Agent's of Shield has nothing to do with it except that they "share" same world. Some people are watching it because MCU, some are comic book fans and others just don't care about those things and are still watching. Compared to Agents of Shield it's most violent thing that has ever happened. Compared to everything else on TV it has average violence.

Well, for me what makes show dark isn't about how much gore is shown. What makes show dark is story of it. Even if I were to go with up-close-violence=dark there would still be much "darker" shows like Walking Dead, Spartacus, Boardwalk Empire, Banshee and Sons of Anarchy. A lot of these shows have much more up close violence as well as "my kind" of darkness at the same time. And these are shows I have seen(except Hannibal), so there most likely are more. Have to mention AHS as well which is downright disgusting. Edit: Oh and I forgot Vikings. Just remember Ragnar executing what's-his-name dude. Just to name a few examples I believe are darker then a mobsters head getting crushed(no spoilers but caution is advised):

This isn't dark, relatively speaking. Little bits of crime and violence that can be found in any action oriented film or show. I've seen sitcoms with much, much more darkness in them.

This is so true but, I personally prefer it this way. At least most of the times. Why? 1. Could he pull off that kind of stuff right now on the same level he has everything else? Maybe if he has been secretly writing some sexy stories all this time but that doesn't seems likely. 2. I'm not looking for it when I'm reading his stuff and I don't want stuff I'm looking for to be gimped or cut because of it. 3. Is there a lack of sexual content in industry? No. Is there a lack of quality fantasy books? Yes. P.S I'm not referring only to adult only graphical sexual content but everything Sanderson's books are lacking when it comes to intimate relationships. P.P.S And I would be totally down for it if he pulled it off without harming other parts of his books.

Kelsier is much better character imho. If we're talking power, it's still Kelsier. Better person one goes to Elend, but I believe it's arguable.

It's not just slow, it's... Has it been this slow before? Don't get me wrong I'm not a fan and I'm not a hater but no other TV Show would be able to pull off such a bad start and there's nothing good about it being slow. I don't care about books, I don't like Martin's writing style and I just couldn't read it but I like TV Show and I'm down for changes. But being slow was one of the most annoying parts for me when I was trying to get into the books and now it's becoming a norm for TV Show as well so yeah... I'm a bit displeased

Not enjoying Season 5 at all. 4 episodes of nothing. Too popular for it's own good imho.

Truth! If anyone can pull of something like this, as long as they do it in their own way there's nothing wrong with it. I would love if we had more of this kind of stuff. I got an idea about color based magic system after reading Mistborn. Then I read Warbreaker and even though there wasn't much in common between two(except colors being an important part of them) stupid me didn't follow it any further... Then I got my hands on Lightbringer series by Brent Weeks (facepalm) :D

The Skull Throne out already? On the second thought waiting for 5th book to come until I continue with this one sounds like a good idea...

Best TV show in a genre hands down. Only other comic-book based show that comes anywhere close is Gotham. As a fan of both Boardwalk Empire and True Blood I was very happy about main cast. They didn't disappoint me and I'm expecting great things from them in the future but Vincent D'Onofrio just stole the show. Kingpin has turned into one of my favorite villains I was a little bit disappointed with red costume. Nothing big but it didn't feel like an upgrade after 12 episodes of sickest superhero outfit I've ever seen. Obviously it also affected stuntman's movement as action scenes while wearing it weren't as good as in first costume. Also headpiece... But as I said nothing big, just hoping they will take this in consideration and do something about it in future. It is set in MCU and takes place after Battle of New York. It is referenced a lot actually. Characters mention it, you can see it on newspapers, etc. They will be doing TV shows for Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist and finally Defenders so there will be much more MCU going in here. Looks like Marvel decided it's time for DC to take a backseat on TV as well Haven't been this excited about TV shows in long time, just hoping they will keep doing individual shows for these characters and won't cancel them after Defenders starts happening. Season 2 for DD or we riot!! :D

Yes but they're changing a lot of stuff so it's different. That's pretty much only reason why I watch it. Overall comics has much better pacing and more badassery but most of the changes in 4-5 seasons were for better storywise :3

NO! Don't take Shardblade guys its a trap! Why take weapon that requires skill, knowledge and experience to be of any use. And don't forget about possibility of injuring yourself with it and losing limbs or life. Oh and almost every person(who would benefit from having it) on the planet with power to kill you and steal it from you is out to kill you and steal it from you! Even with powerful allies it would be dangerous enough and not worth the risks. Giving it to someone who can actually use it would be best decision but can you trust them with it? Shardplate on the other hand requires much less skill, knowledge and experience. Basic movement skills, coordination, balance, endurance and stamina combined with knowledge of Shardplate's abilities and limitations would be enough. Just spend weak or two wearing it and you're good to go. Obviously you wouldn't be an mvp but you would take out any Shardbearer(blade only) that has no magical abilities and isn't on master swordsman/Shardbearer level. Not to mention that you wouldn't have that many people out for you. About time it takes to equip Shardplate, help needed and weight. Those are some problems that can be solved just by possessing Shardplate. Getting a job that pays well would be easy when you have Shardplate > finding people to help you with it, drag it around for you and even offer some additional protection would be easy with that money. So in the end: Shardblade = More risk, less efficiency(if you aren't going to sell/trade it the second you get your hands on it of course). Shardplate = Less risk, more efficiency(AND fun! think about it, Shardblade lets you cut stuff clean and kill people. Shardplate lets you jump higher, run faster, faceplant into earth from scary heights and walk away unscathed!) Edit: ALMOST FORGOT TOUGH GUY LOOKS!!
