As someone who hasn't read the books, but enjoys fantasy...I really like this one so far.

It's cool to see high fantasy being reviewed and received so well.

I imagine episode 4 did a good job of roping people in.

Fourth episode feels like they're starting to really settle in. In the first episode, Moiraine drawing the Power looked a little cheesy, but since they're sticking with that visual all the way through, you kind of get used to it. And the battle scene started to really showcase what they can do.

I particularly thought it was effective that (book spoiler)...

Spoiler!


At this point, I'm relatively confident that this will be good enough to satisfy book readers. Now the only question is to what extent they'll be able to draw in the masses.

I'm in the same camp. Never even heard mention of these books. It has me intrigued.

If you have any patience at all in reading, I recommend them. Jordan was very into in depth descriptions of minute things, but the characters and action in the story are awesome. Leading of a certain Band later in the story and the aiel are both awesome to follow imo.

I don't know. Not having lengthy bits on tugging of braids or chapter long descriptions of dresses should shorten the whole thing enough to get it done in 8 seasons. We've seen pretty significant story progression so far through 4 episodes, and while I feel like they changed/added a couple things for no real reason, the is improving with each episode.


No idea why they added a wife for Perrin or decided there had to be ambiguity on the gender of the Dragon. Saidin is the male half of the One Power, and the Dragon has always been male in the book lore.

Loial was well done
Ep5 was good overall, some stuff was combined and the timelines seem a little off, but this one did move things closer I'd say.

Not sure I understand why they had the character do what he did at the end of the episode, not really matching the mood of that character....

yeah, it was overdone I thought as well. But I think it was supposed to show how much pain he carries around with him already. Knowing the character from the books, he has a lot more personal pain than just what has happened around him recently, like a lot.

A lot of wasted episode in this last one. No reason for episode 5 to have focused so much on the warders while totally skipping other elements of the story line that they have so far excluded.

Bits I liked, but after episode 4, was a let down.

I really don't understand some of the editorial decisions and how they seem to be editing out important things, while adding in fluff that doesn't add to the story at all.

This first season is almost entirely exposition with a little plot thrown in here and there. The warder stuff is pretty clearly setting up...

Spoiler!


I didn't mind it.
