So far the casting is great and it seems like all the actors have a solid grasp of the source material. Lan and Moiraine stand out in particular.
I'm only on the second episode so I can't say much more but from the dialogue and portrayal of the Two Rivers village to the climactic battle scene in the first episode I'm pretty sold so far.
Robert Jordan is ROLLING IN HIS GRAVE that they aren't including his weird misogyny throughout! Destruction of a legacy! :rage-cry:
While they’re making changes, I hope Rand’s polycule is less cringe in the show
look, it's fine because all his sister-wives are friends and one of them is this totally hot warrior babe who like, didn't want to be with him at first but they were DESTINED to be together. And Ugh, I can't believe I'm having to explain this to your philistines. It's FINE OK!
Why would a man who said this deep wisdom need any part of his legacy changed:
"One odd thing that RJ shared with us was his advice to men. He said that men were like fish that had been removed from the tank placed on the ground. The idea was that a cat (a woman) watches the fish and often has no interest if the fish does not struggle enough before dying. The cats enjoy watching the fish flounder and flap around. But if the fish stopped, the cat loses interest. So Robert looked seriously at Brad and Bob and I (the only men present) and said: 'Keep flopping and they won't lose interest. Always keep flapping!'"
Oh my :smoking-fish:

What does that even mean?
It means I've faked a terminal illness with all 3 of my ex-wives to keep them around longer, just imagine when they'd have left if I hadn't done that!
Also hope they address whatever you want to call Perrin's thing with Faile.
I think that's fairly easy to tone down. I don't think there's anything that's actively unfixable in Jordan's work with a deft change of dialogue and a couple of scene cuts.
As of Friday the Green Ajah have a pretty nice little thing going on. Kind of sweet and low key.
Nynaeve’s actor did a great job reacting to Lan’s departure for Moiraine’s tent after she learned about the Greens’ relationships with their Warders.
