1st episode not sure what to think.  why do all the action scenes look so blurry and out of focus?  all the trolloc scenes are so blurry.

19:  Since I already lost to SinisterDeath in this one, please refer to the very  1st reply of this post for my answer:  19 pillowfriends playing

with all these bad reviews hopefully wot can still build momentum in last 2 episodes so there is hype for season 2.

12 Trolloc bands

From the clips I have seen so far and the 1st 3 episodes review on Tor, Matt doesn't seem that funny yet.  hopefully the new Matt actor conveys lots of Matt's humor as that is the key to his charm

From some of the leaks I've heard there is still no mention of saidin or saidar, just the One power.  

Eleven darkfriend corpses kneeling to Rand (10 merchants and 1 greyman). on his travels to Tear

wolves look cool. that alone is a huge improvement from game of thrones where the direwolve ended with no real significance in the story 

So by the sounds of things perrins wife in the show is, for lack of better words, .........an epic Faile?

*drum roll please*

Trans characters changing which power they channel and if they get an Aes Sedai powered  gender re assignment would certainly be a wild turn on the show.  Even that doesn't work though because some people may not identify with just 1 gender...  Or if certain souls have a Male soul born in a female body would channel saidin?  aka halima. the precedent was already there. 

not sure how they will handle that.  Maybe some people are born with the innate ability to channel both saidin and saidar?  that would certainly make hermaphrodites and the like a much more valued group in the wheel of time world.  That works for me, in India they always used to say that the transexual people provided special blessings. 

I guess they could go there, but I just hope it doesnt derail the rules that RJ established too much.  I'm not sure there is a way to respectfully display that demographic that would make the transexual community 100% happy.  not sure, but I would definitely listen to other perspectives on that.  

10 swordsmen Jearom defeats in a single duel.

10 Forsaken completely dead (Graendal, Mesaana, Moghedien sole survivors)

10 types of known shadowspawn:

trollocs, myrddral, darkhounds, gray men, jumar, gholam, draghkar, cafar, forgers zomara

I'm pretty much down for anything these days as long as they keep the spirit of the books in tact.

And yes no overt preaching either!  Was merely hoping they still keep saidin and saidar distinct since gender itself seems to be such a problematic construct these days.  

Bisexual Rand, trans actors, pillowfriends galore, pansexual, mixed race cast... cool no big deal, not even cutting edge these days.

Some people here have a problem with man-hating, but I think that was already abundant in wheel of time.  The Aes Sedai are going to be heavily biased against men who can channel and the show wouldn't be doing its job if they didn't have lots of haughty/arrogant Aes Sedai.

Keep the story alive and this should be amazing so I'm still really excited for what's coming.
