I haven’t seen all the shows. And I’m not a purist, the show script doesn’t have to follow the books as scripts are creations of the show writers. I just enjoy seeing it come to life on screen. I enjoyed season 1 with all the faults and all. have mixed feelings about season 2 so far. I just want to hear what others’ thoughts are on it.
For me, every episode has been better than the one before it this season, and only 1 or 2 episodes from season 1 are actually on par with the average for season 2. The new character introductions have been on point, especially Aviendha today, and the Forsaken are WAY more intriguing and scary in the show than they were in the books.
The problems I have involve too little screen time for Mat (I want book 3 Mat ASAP), and not enough swordplay for Rand and Lan. But other than that, I am loving the show.
Totally agree on the Forsaken, looks like they’ve cut out and/or merged together all of the incompetent clowns so the remaining ones can get down to business
Yeah Lan talks way too much compared to the books LOL but that’s fine. If he’s going to be a character he has to talk. And yes Mat’s role is where my beef is I guess. They are slowly re-integrating him back into the story line. Characters are not the same as in the books anymore. They’ve changed them to suit a TV show.
I’ve only finished EP3. I thought forsaken were pretty scary in the book too with supernatural abilities?
