Heard some speculation that they may kill Moiraine this next week. Have a hard time believing it, it who knows with all the deviations from the books.

It's already confirmed she is filming for season 2, so I'm not sure how that'd work. They need to keep that part of the story the same. In a series where not many people die, hers was a shock.

Um.
It definitely has moments that are very CW, but so far it has more legitimate show momentsChase McGuire said:
My best guess is that they're going to use The Eye of the World as the Forsakens' prison, and Rand will release them when he uses it up.
The show definitely feels way too CW at times, but I thought the Blight actually looked pretty cool in episode 7.

Started watching this tonight. Here's my hot take:
Not nearly as interesting as I thought it would be. The way it's shot with the sets/costume really strikes me as early 2000's Sci-fi channel type of show/miniseries. Not even sure I'll finish this one.
HummingbirdSaltalamacchia said:I wont go so far as to say it was necessary, but with the speed they are moving along, the writers probably felt it needed to drive home their closeness and how they always assumed they would be together. a little lazy perhaps but ultimately not a big deal and will help with Rand's future dilemma/situationAg97 said:
That episode was the best so far for me. Character development was much better than previous episodes. I hope they can keep it going this strongly.
The intimate relationship between Rand and Egwene still bothers me for some reason. I think they could have shown them being close but not sexual and still make their future dynamic work just fine.
probably should have reread more recently thenAustinScubaAg said:
I honestly barely recognize much of the story.

If they do a Rand perrin egwene love triangle I'm going to puke.
Loved, loved, loved rhe opening scene showing a Maiden kick ass. I guess I enjoyed the episode overall. Show just feels too much like a WB show sometimes, though. Like the Riverdale spinning of the wheel.
There is plenty of the books I recognize but how they blended the elements to make a very different story is disturbing.PatAg said:probably should have reread more recently thenAustinScubaAg said:

I'm just happy they're blowing through a lot of the teenage angst commentary. Totally fine with using sex to illustrate the closeness and avoid the high school drama.
Remember the characters grew up together and are already very close at the beginning of the story. They aren't portraying that well, but all the Two Rivers people grew up isolated from outsiders and know each other very well,AGC said:NTXAg10 said:HummingbirdSaltalamacchia said:I wont go so far as to say it was necessary, but with the speed they are moving along, the writers probably felt it needed to drive home their closeness and how they always assumed they would be together. a little lazy perhaps but ultimately not a big deal and will help with Rand's future dilemma/situationAg97 said:

As someone who didn't read the books but whose spouse did, I've been watching it and I think it's a bad gimmick.
It seems like their go to for character development. What LotR did in a few hours with characters appears untouchable for this series. Long term friendships without romance are few and far between for normal people. I could name two when going through the show and characters with my wife.
I think the average watcher suffers as well since they blow through months worth of time together (for instance with the leaf gipsies) and expect us to buy into the closeness of the characters. We have to watch devotion without seeing it grow (like being mad about mat being left behind).

If the events at the Eye of the World in ep 8 make any sense at all it will not be a faithful adaptation
