What do folks think as to whether or not the tv show was going to kill Liandrin before end of the show or would they have kept her story going, especially considering how much they changed her arc from the books.

As the Ogier and Aes Sedai were the ones building the One Tower, it being totally white and able to handle the weathering of time and staying white would've been logical. But I understand it being a tv medium they may have had to change it.

I adored Perrin and Faile’s relationship, the actress made me love Faile where I thought that would NEVER happen. LOL Perrin was incredible in episode 8 but I wish he’d had more development at the leader of the Two Rivers. I feel the writers missed golden opportunities to show him earning the leadership of Emond’s Field by leading people to come to Emond’s Field from outlying farms for mutual protection etc and leading attacks on Trollocs, who were supposedly a real threat by attacking the Two Rivers, farms etc but we never saw any indication of such attacks and thus urgency for everyone to come to the town was never established Also, I wish Perrin had wolf dreams and begun establishing the animosity between him and Slayer. I know the limits of time and number of episodes stopped many such things from being established but a scene at the end of the season showing Slayer could have been done.

The contract between Sony and Amazon was for three seasons, so they had to do at least that many, breaking a contract is more messy than having to re-negotiate one. Plus, "Jordan Studios" was ended post season three, so having to not only do new contracts for actors, production team etc, they had to get new a new site for the in-studio parts. Too bad they didn't get a contract for five seasons, as ROP was able to, I think Rafe and co. could have come closer to semi satisfying ending with two more seasons.

I heard from Jon of WOT Up that Jordan Studios in Czech Republic is defunct now, the main actress moved away after season three was wrapped and the actor/production teams etc would need to be re-hired/contracts made etc. These issues and the viewing numbers were all signs of the end. I truly hope that the Save WOT works but I'm doubtful. 🤞

In the show, the first minute of the meeting between Perrin/Egwene with the Tinkers began with the Tinkers being shown as ominous and potentially dangerous, so it seems the producers did accede to Amazon's wishes if only briefly.

Too bad Rafe couldn't get a similar deal, that way at least he would've had more control on how the show would end rather than this ignominious way .
