THE WHEEL OF TIME: Removing RAND AL'THOR was part of Amazon's "Editorial Process"

Your man Salty digs into pre-season one articles and interviews with AMAZON EXECUTIVES, BRANDON SANDERSON, HARRIET JORDAN and more to piece together the drive behind abandoning the RAND AL'THOR based world of AN ACTUAL ADAPTATION of ROBERT JORDAN'S WHEEL OF TIME book series, starting with THE EYE OF THE WORLD... we then watch the trainwreck interview of the DIRECTORS of SEASON TWO, with added context and interpretation of my own based upon following this debacle way before the Season One premiere.

Buckle up- literally, you will NOT BELIEVE WHAT the SEASON TWO directors have to say about the impetus behind this completely unrecognizable debacle... it never was 'ANOTHER TURNING OF THE WHEEL' or in any way an adaptation. Would Robert Jordan even recognize ANYTHING on screen?
