"But the messy ending, some inexplicable changes to the backstory and the feeling that the show is making changes where they're not needed and not making changes where they are needed continue to make the series feel uneven."

 

Pretty accurate.

 

Part of me wonders if this is why season 2 got greenlit early with the runtime/number of episodes being a clear point for them to consider.

Huh. It’s almost like a couple people bitching on a single forum aren’t representative of millions of fans around the world. I had no idea! ??‍♀️

Ok maybe let’s look at this another way, what if Rafe is right, what if Brandon and Harriet did tell Rafe that RJ really wanted to change some things in the early books? It wouldn’t be the first time

So I don’t think that last statement is *wrong*. But the details the show has chosen to emphasize are different than what we as readers emphasize when we read. Rather than trying to recreate everythin

This is an interesting article regarding Zodiac signs and Wheel of Time characters. Since I was born under the Libra sign, I was pleased to see my most favorite character in all of fiction was also designated as a Libra by the writer of this article. 

 

Which The Wheel Of Time Character Are You Based On Your Zodiac Sign?

I'm a scorpio so I'm very happy with Min. I don't even believe in the Zodiac signs ?

Why do they think they need this to be a romance? ?‍♂️

 

How long after killing his wife did it take Perrin to start sniffing around Egwene?

 

Also it's not like he's lacking in romantic interests in the books

 

Spoiler

Eg: Faile and Berelain

Wow…

 

It may have shown up in other interviews but this is the first time I’ve ever seen Rafe confirm that it is a question of romantic love.  I thought it was generally poorly done but if they had tried to explain it off as fraternal love or some sort of protector relationship it wouldn’t have been as bad.  He’s just doubling down on the dumb ideas, huh?

Sorry where did he say there is a romance? He said the viewers are meant to be questioning whether Perrin has feelings for her.

Not sure if this one has been posted but a few interesting points that indicate Rafes thinking behind certain aspects. I fully agree that the Aes Sedai needed to be introduced fully in season 1. I also understand that if you focus on Rand for winters night then, as he says, you don't really get an introduction to the other characters (Mat is my fav character in the books but really he didn't click for me until about book 4 first time of reading). 

I still think Eomonds Field could have done with a slightly longer slower intro.

The thought I had after watching episode 8 - it wasn't his love for Egwene that Perrin gave up on when Rand and she were betrothed. It was his love for Rand. Because, reasons.

Apologies if posted already - I hadn't seen it

Not sure I can think of any other adaptation of a book, game or other material where the people making the adaptation have said if you like the source material the adapation is not for you. ?

The Wheel of Timeshow has modernized, streamlined, and focused the sprawling, byzantine, and more-than-occasionally problematic narrative told by Jordan in the massive 14-book series.

 

That doesn’t even make sense. None of that describes the 1st book which is what most of the 1st season is based on. 
 

The 1st book is the opposite as it’s entirely told from Rand point of view (or nearly so).
