Yikes.  She didn't know he was going to do that

She knew it and she loved it. She's a super hero, remember?

If she hadn't thought he was cute, she would have done it. 

And she also gets off on being gagged and tied to a tree. Kinky!

Also - why would people assume that the dagger is cursed?

They wouldn't. But they would leave open the possibility since it was picked up in a cursed city, after Lan, said "Take nothing." Just sayin'.

It is easy for the audience to understand without thinking too much, which is what the show is so far.

Why don't you work it out with the other N&Ns who say it's too complicated for anyone to understand.

Mat is showing a lot of the negative sides of channeling. 

It's a interesting sentence. (I know another sentence follows but others can quote that.) The effects of real channeling are shown for "young man" and Logain, but are there negative sides? The madness is asserted by others. "Young man" is running with a third-person visible "old man." Logain is resisting the murderous suggestions of two shadows. The "madness" is not there, imho. Whether the show will downplay the madness or just hasn't shown it yet, is TBD. Matt's "madness" is contrived to make the madness-channeling-DR link. We know it's a fake, but it supports the misdirection. Liandrin and The Questioner exhibit more "madness" than the male channelers.

Be that as it may, is it coincidence that it is the people most offended by thus who are declaiming that the CGI is terrible, that the acting is wooden, that every change is unnecessary and/or agenda-driven? 

The chances of that being a random occurrence are spectacularly small.

Flat at different ‘heights’ granted, but no nuance at all.

Where to begin?:

Nyn is a fighter in the non-armored sense, a healer, a proto-lover, and a bit on the prideful side.

Perrin is a friend, an artisan, a mystic, and a pillar.

At the same time, having repeated red herrings pulled across your path can break trust as well.

That's why "The Usual Suspects" was such a failure. Who knew Keyser Söze would turn out to be an abuser?

None of my family members or the wife have guessed who it is.

Right! That's been most of the experience, which is why "Rand?" as the first response actually surprised me.

Just now, Sabio said:

God's I hope not, I really hope that was just the shows way of showing the madness.

Many people like the idea of Elusha Salid being a Forsaken, probably Lanfear. (Why give a name to a manifestation of madness?). Look at Logain during that scene. Does that look like "madness." He refutes the suggestion by both shadows to murder the King.

Just now, DojoToad said:

to keep a secret that it was poorly done and didn't fool anyone

"Rand? Egwene?" was the rest of the quote. Not to mention all the Nynaeve followers. Just invent a negative emoji and post it. It will save you a lot of time with "words."

Surprised you haven't found them.

I'm not a follower. But even if I was, it wouldn't be someone going over a cliff.

Well there are only 4 episodes until the end of the season

Four episodes? What could possible be done in four episodes at the end of a season. E.g., "The Long Night," "The Last of the Starks," "The Bells," and "The Iron Throne." If WoT, Season 1, does, a fraction of that, it will still be great.

Impressive, but not enuf to watch the show. Why not start a short thread somewhere, about things you like enuf to watch. Should be infotaining.

I hate that. Yech!

Very anti-climatic.

Season 1, episode 4. Early for an anti-climax. Glad you're not the show-runner.

Just now, Maximillion said:

they are entitled to be negative about it.

Negativity is like the Universe, there is no limit. There is a hope for the Universe. Dark Energy may reverse the expansion.

To be fair, the fandom's "content creators" and Brandon contributed a lot to it as well.  They made it a lot easier for some fans to make mountains out of molehills in anticipation of changes.

There is a theory that all publicity is good.

Obviously you haven't seen all my posts, but keep spit-balling...

Is it really obvious? Maybe because no one could stand all the negativity?

I'm just spit-balling here...but, I wonder if, just perhaps, you react negatively to anything about Amazon WoT.

A premie.

Really only Perrin and Rand have not been hinted at.

And yet, a complete newbie, when asked who the DR was, said "Rand?" first. That means that even with "misdirection" the casting and dialog point toward Rand. That's a good thing.

Right. She carried a flame thrower into a Trolloc city. The body count was in the hundreds. And those bulging muscles. "Rambo, the Final Final: Rambo Grows A Braid."
