This episode had me scratching my head a bit [a lot] my biggest frustration with it has been the extraordinary amount of "new" storyline added at the expense of necessary background/exposition.  I've read the books more times than I can count, but my wife never has, and she's watching the show to humor me...

Anyway, I'm sticking with it -- but for whatever reason, this episode really irked me - as an avid reader of the books.  I imagine non-book readers would have been far less bothered.

I'm so disgusted/disappointed. So many unnecessary departures from the books for no good reason. Trollocs and fades must have channelers with them to use the ways, now? Horses couldn't survive? Good grief.

Acting is great, but this is barely an homage to the source material. So sad.

"The Wheel of Time, a series adaptation of the bestselling novels by Robert Jordan about a clan of female magicians starring Rosamund Pike." 

Well, that's one way to describe it, I guess.

We've been taking too long to play Pandemic: Season One, but I tell you when a particular plot twist hit mid-year I was beside myself, "You have GOT to be kidding me!  WHAT?!?"
