I said the show is far from perfect but that they're trying to tell the "full story" with limited episodes/budgets and not just "the Eye of the World" or the first few books. I said we should give them the benefit of the doubt.

He’s got a plan. We’re just missing most of it for now.

Funnily enough I recently had a similar argument about a different fantasy TV series I also like.

I’d LOVE 20 episodes of WoT per season, but even with that most TV series would be horrible in practice if they tried to replicate books exactly. What works on screen =/= what works in a book.

Yeah, I think it's impossible to replicate any books to shows or movies. I usually like the ones that keep the themes of the book that I liked. I do also understand what it's like to be totally disappointed when your favorite books is turned into a show that just doesn't work for you.

I’m only halfway through Lord of Chaos, but I really enjoy the show and think it has kept the main themes quite well, even if I do wish it was a season per book. The characters are also quite faithful to the book versions.
I do get the disappointment, been there - but this isn’t one of those cases.

Totally agree! This one is so not a disappointment for me either! In fact, if anything, the slight changes they made are making me like the characters more than I did in the book! Staying true to the books, they are showing a different side and I love it!

I think I actually prefer TV Egwene a little bit tbh! I’m enjoying all the main casts portrayals of the characters so far though, they’re doing such a good job. (Zoe’s Nynaeve-stubborn-face is so spot on 😂).

Agree 100%! Book Egwene was not my cup of tea! But I LOVE show Egwene! Yes, they got down Nynaeve's stubbornness but I'm glad they took away the braid tugging! On screen, I think that would not play the same!
