So it seems that billy Zane wheel of time thing a few years ago was following the book more closely than this show?

As bad as that Lan scene was, it was a perfect portrayal of me watching every episode of this abomination.

As soon as that funeral for the suicide warden started, I skipped ahead 30 seconds, nothing changed, 30 seconds, nothing changed, 30 seconds, oh now they are crying, 30 seconds, 30 seconds, 30 seconds, 30 seconds...etc...credits roll...

The episodes have been progressively less interesting. Last week they were in a hurry...to sit around a campfire for days. Then an "Army" of about 30 guys attacked and successfully destroyed the rest of the episode. This week they spent entirely too much time on the wardens, which I think should be interesting, but just aren't.

On top of everything else, ever since they showcased the all white, perfectly clean uniform of black child of the light, Mr. Hands, I have noticed all the cloths look brand new and freshly cleaned. So now, it has become a distraction, in every scene, on how could a props department overlook something so basic. Maybe the book expands on the magical laundry mats and tailors that are around every bend, and they had to cut those parts for time...

The aes sedai at tar valon had spotless clothes because they made trainees do menial labor chores 18 hours a day. Royalty and lords and ladies too. Everyone else was a dirtball though.

I can’t wait until the 6th season when they all show their tits when they vote for the new head of the tower. The book descriptions of how the women looked was pretty cool to me as a teen. Now I get to see a xer worf that’s 80.

Episode 5 was pretty dull world building and a terrible ogre. Wtf was that garbage ending. I actually had some hopes after E4, now back to reality.

At the rate they're skipping huge chunks of the story we'll get to the Last Battle in the middle of season 2.

amazon has already greenlit seasons 2 & 3, and it had to be solely based on what they saw in these episodes. i don't get it

i'd bet its the most successful amazon show to date though, maybe even beating out The Boys. I don't think any amazon shows really show up in the most watched tracked lists, so if they finally get one in they probably will double down hard

shad really hated this one. the bring up alot of "small" errors. but then also hit on a really devastating point. All the shit the showrunners cut out of the book.. only to wholly create this warder scene themselves.

I know, right? This brevity bullshit is for the birds.
I am holding out until EFAP comes out with their coverage.

Shad brings up good points though, I'm glad I haven't watched it yet. Perrin doesn't kill a Whitecloak? Really?

He killed his wife, she probably wore a white wedding dress when the got married if that counts. I’m pretty sure they replaced the white cloak with her, except the white cloak had context and meaning, the wife was out of nowhere and random.
