Well said. I like the show and have watched all three seasons at least twice, but the biggest disappointment for me has been how Rand has been screwed out of his defining moments. Moments that shape the character. Instead these moments are taken from him and given, mostly, to Egwene and Moiraine, for no good reason that I can see. I really don't like how they dealt with ending his and Egwene's relationship, in the books it was mutual with both of them being relieved that the other wasn't horribly hurt by the decision, with Egwene even then "handing" him over to Elayne, but in the TV show he is just a two-timing p.o.s. that has "lain with a shadow-souled", I did not enjoy that.
Although I would continue to watch, hoping it continues to get better, I now also find myself not being particularly bothered if it ends here, which is a real shame.
Some other thoughts:
When Moiraine walked into the cave where Sammael was held she seemed a bit off to me, the way she spoke and acted almost seemed like it wasn't Moiraine but someone who simply looked like her. I half expected to see her face change to Lanfear's when she left the room, but that didn't happen. I watched the scene again and she still seems a bit off in that scene, though that feeling continued with all of her scene's after that, so I guess it was just something not character related, maybe the actress had something happen to cause a slight change in these scenes.
When Elayne used the balefire rod she did it differently to the BA sister. The BA sister channeled into the end that fired the balefire, whereas Elayne channeled into it from the back of the rod. I wonder if that is why it was unstable for the BA sister and fine for Elayne, or if that was coincidental.
I missed that Matt was hanging from a spear in the first watch and caught it in the second, so hopefully this means he will have his Ashanderai, I was looking forward to that.
I have read some people consider that Min might take the role of Jain, I also wonder if Min is also going to take over the role that Birgitte played with Elayne and Salidar?
