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.
You came to the wrong place I am afraid, most of us that agree with you have been shunned, management here would rather have access to the production than admit just how bad the show is.
We all knew changes would need to be made, but there are adaptations then there is ignoring the basic plot altogether.
