I feel all the same ways. But the show won me over. I think of it as an alternate turning of the Wheel now, and I'm into it tbh.

I was wondering how they were going to have him even narrowly win against a Blademaster without ANY of the Lan/Rand training (and their relationship building tbh - they're just doing Lan dirty altogether so far, imo). But loved the scene a lot, problem solved lmao.
