**spoilers*** I really disliked Season 1 so much that I didn't start Season 2 till now. I decided to give it a go after my wife said tv shows and books are often two "separate" things apart from each other. I didn't buy it. So I just finished Ep 1 of Season 2. Eh.....I think TOO different is TOO different. I understand cutting parts of a book to make a show but I wish they'd kept closer to the plot. Like why wait to introduce Elayne until Season 2. I saw she was in the season online haven't gotten that far yet. I could gripe about all the issues I have like why not make a good CGI version of Loial instead of an obvious actor with make up as the ogier. The Darrell K Sweet cover of one of the books has Loial with a humanish face but I think he'd look more non human...but I have an issue with all the changes but I'll give Episode 2 of Season 2 a go.
