Well, you all got me with the real statistics. For me, I just didn't even know it was out until this past weekend!! I loved season 1; loved the vision coming from this producer; and have devoured every book over the years; usually rereading from book 1 to whatever version had just been published AGAIN 🙂 I loved Season 2; found it riveting, thrilling, and in depth. I know liberties have been taken, and scenes and characters left out -- a necessity from transitions of media. Love the characters; love the new Matt; can follow the plot lines. Absolutely love Moiraine!!! I wouldn't read too much into the initial statistics -- GOOD QUALITY will be watched over and over in the New Digital World and I am certain this epic endeavor will attain LoR, Harry Potter, and possibly Star Wars/Star Trek status!! 🙂
