[QUOTE="Digital M@, post: 8494228, member: 13987"] So far I have really enjoyed the show. with 8 episodes a season and maybe 7 seasons, the whole story needs to be condensed to no more than 56 hours. For reference the first book is a 24 hour audio book and there are 14 books. I didn't mind having Perrin married, and Matt have family issues. those changes make the 3 males have distinctly different backgrounds and motivations/challenges even though they are all the same age and come from the same small village. I like how in episode 7 we learn about the conversation between Rand and Tam with the fever ranting. It shows that information that readers thought glossed over or emitted can come back when the characters are ready to share with the audience. The sets are solid and costumes have been good and the special effects for the weaves match the theme. Moiraine has been very well adapted to screen, keeping her strength and sense of authority mixed with her compassion. Nynaeve is better than the books. She seems less evil and childish than she does in the book. In the book this young 20 something girls knows better about everything than every other person on the planet. She threatens and belittles everyone who disagrees with her and she never grows. I hated her character in the book. In main introduction in the book talks about the switch she carries to hit people that act in ways she does not approve of and then she threatens Tom with the switch if he doesn't leave the inn for a woman's circle meeting or some such. I am trying to just enjoy what they create. The story as read is 280+ hours of reading and I have not tried to storyboard it down to 56 hours so I am not going to nit pick each decision. My wife has not read the books and has enjoyed the show (minus the white cloak scenes as they are pretty disturbing). GoT first season was spectacular as was the first book. It was the best of all of the seasons and books. I think this show will be more consistent through its seasons than GoT as the story will have more focus. The story would benefit by adding more humor and light moments to keep the tension not feeling forced. The traveling people should have been more friendly in their introduction and down time scenes should be mixed with laughter or warmth. [HEADING=2][/HEADING] [HEADING=2][/HEADING] [/QUOTE]
