I liked most of this one. Slow part is slow, the rest of it has some differences, but I'm good with them.

But it is supposed to be better than "Game of Thrones"? Ok so we all know how that ended. From CP reviews, I won't waist my time. Thanks.

Matt and Rand's story have been spot on with the books, Perrin and Egwene too since the whole Perrin suprise. The rest have meandered a bit, but it is good and being used to explain a lot to non readers. The part I dislike the most is tossing in the women as possibly being the dragon as well. They haven't mentioned saidin and saidar yet, so I'm wondering of they are just combing them altogether. |

As a long time fan, I'm coming around a bit. It's a bit rocky at first because the world is massive and they're having to cram hundreds of pages of book exposition into about an hour of screen time, but the second and third episodes slow down a little. Haven't gotten to the new episode yet. |

No way they can or will. I just dislike the narrative of how it could be a woman. The women have their own enormous role in this story....dragon ain't one of them in any tuning of the wheel.

Fourth episode really good it right. Great way to get in some explanations about the different ajahs. I saw there are only 8 episodes this season so halfway there and it's enjoyable so far.

Now, I don't think this will be anywhere near GoT in terms of popularity, but I do hope it does well enough in terms of viewership that they can finish it. |

I think WOT is going to have to build up it's audience after season 1 is already completed. GoT was able to hook audiences with TAP (titties-a-plenty) and get the story going while HBO viewers waited to see who shook em next. WOT is going to have to hook viewers by getting them to know the characters and want to see what happens to them.
Right now it seems like they will play musical chairs of who is the dragon to do that, and by the time it is known who it is for sure, hopefully people are invested enough to get this the backing it will need to complete the story. |

I believe it's planned for 8 seasons. But yeah, they're going to have to move fast to get through it that quickly.
