I'm with Winnower, years ago there were polls for favorite and least favorite characters Egwene was always near the top of least. I've always thought Jordan was paralleling her to Lanfear, and he killed her to save her from herself.

In the first minute of the show it says the Dragon could be a man or a woman. So your definition of grasp seems a little off.

I understand an adaptation will vary from the original story, but any WoT adaptation that cannot grasp that the Dragon/Lews Therin a man that uses Saidin is a constant in each turning has lost the plot and is no longer in the world of WoT. Also they made Lan cry, for that alone the show is a failure.

Living actresses Shirley MacLaine, Joan Collins, Jacqueline Bisset, Meg Foster, Barbara Carrera I think any of these ladies pull off Cadsuane. Barbara Stanwyck would have been perfect. Too bad the show is so bad at least we have the books.
