Wheel of Time - No Spoilers

[Morrus]

I haven't read the books either. Sacrilege, I know.

Me neither.

Probably a good thing!

The buildings looked new too, and the town square was too level for a poor mountain settlement. And a certain peasant character had far too many different outfits.

But overall I enjoyed the first episode. I think I might be the only person here who hasn't read the books!

NB, Am I the only one who don't think using magic to heat bath water, whilst you are in the bath, is a wise idea?

They aren't a poor mountain settlement, but more along the line of a prosperous, but isolated, farming town from the 18th/19th century. The author described the world as being 18th century without gunpowder - clocks and printed books are common, for example (we'll probably see a lot of printed books in a few episodes when a certain character who is a book-lover is introduced).

For those who are trained, using the Power to heat bathwater is, well, a very common usage of it.

I've had D&D characters use cantrips and rituals for the same sort of thing. What else is minor magic for, other than making your clothes sparkling clean while your fellow party members are still coated in the grime from the latest sewer?

Moving your grime onto them. Why sell yourself short and just clean up?

Loads of the villagers were dirty. The settlement seemed 17th century US/Canada frontier type thing

I can't remember about the run-of-the-mill villagers, however, the main 4 cast members coats were dirty, but their clothing underneath was dry cleaner fresh in the second episode.

As someone who has read the books, the changes to who the Dragon might be is very non-sensical, as well as what I 'Think' is going to be a change to the One Power itself. Moiraine thinks one of the girls can be the Dragon, but that makes ZERO sense in light of how the One Power is supposed to work and why men can't use it.

I did find the trollocks cant swim thing to be a bit eyeroll worthy. That's from the book, and it makes sense in context.
