Disliked

-The Tinkers: They lacked  the color I would've expected. Not bad...but kinda stilted.

 

Hated

-The pacing. I hope future seasons have more like 10-12 episodes. 8 episodes is entirely too short. There were so many moments that could have added to the depth of the show like: Lan training Rand on the road. Moraine speaking with all of the 4 before the trolloc attack. etc. They really need more episodes in the season.  I'll just also add, this actually isn't necessarily a bad thing because it means I want more of the show. I want more of these characters. I want more epic one power scenes. Ultimately, the fact that pacing is an issue is a testament to the quality we do have. I just want more of it. 

Yes, I knew something felt off to me about the Tinkers! You're right, they needed brighter colors! 

And completely agree on the pacing. 8 episodes for season 1, seems very short. 

Us book lovers really want some of those scenes. 

For those who haven't read the books, I think it would just help to show the characters better and the growing bonds they have between them. 

I dislike Mat too, all wrong for me. I hope it gets better along the way.

I assume for the sake of cost they have ignored the smooth ageless face of the AES Sedai?

I was thinking this as well, though I have no idea how you would pull that off on screen.... and I'm sure it would cost a lot to do. 

Guessing any talk of ageless face is out the window

Her scalp was a little sore from the braid tug the Trolloc gave her. ?

 

For reals, though. I don't know how realistic it would be to see her pull it as much as she does in the books (hopefully some), but it'd be nice to see her gripping her braid when she's emotional and struggling to stay composed.

??? yes I'd imagine that would be a bit painful. 

And I agree, not needed As much as in the books, but here and there would've been nice to me.

- Shadar Logoth was seriously impressive!

 

It was soooo good! It came on screen and I thought, damn that's exactly how it looked in my head!

I think they did a pretty good job, though a few things I didn't like

- I don't like what they did to Mats family. I understand someone's comment about making it not seem like all of two rivers only has great people, but I like that about the books. That is a different world and the Two Rivers is so out of touch and just live thier peaceful little lives. If they wanted to show the town asshole, they could have shown Cenn Buie. 

- Nyneave didn't tug on her braid even once!!! Sad one of her characters main traits didn't make it in. Would've been very simple to add. 

- Thom seems very wrong to me already. He's very aggressive and mean to them in the show. 

- Perrin being married? No thanks, don't think he needed that 

- Lan, didn't utter the word "Sheephearder" even once.  This was another (for me) very important term to use for rand, as they continue it all through out the books and it shows just another personality trait of Lan and then the tie between Rand and Lan. It's Lan's nickname basically for Rand. 

- Overall I think it went a little fast for me. Already knowing the characters I'm ok watching it, but for someone who hasn't it would have been nice for them to spend the first episode letting us get to know and actually care/ like some of the characters before sending the trollics in. If I was watching this with out have read the books, I don't think I would really care about any of them at this point. 

And there is more gore then I need though I understand a lot of people like it in shows, but I can live without.
