I really enjoyed the episode, but it was also a little rough around the edges. I've heard that they ran into some C0VID regulation issues that kind of messed up original plans. Too bad they hadn't just delayed to make it right. Overall aI really enjoyed the episode, but it was also a little rough around the edges.

I felt the episode was excellent, except for the amount of divergent cliff hangers that we have to trust will be sorted out. I know last of year episodes of most shows do the cliff hanger thing. So we'll just have trust for clarity goingI felt the episode was excellent, except for the amount of divergent cliff hangers that we have to trust will be sorted out.

Wheel of Time appears to either be disappointing long time readers or disappointing that particular sort of fan who thinks the color of someone's eyes (among other trivialities) are relevant to the story. To the former, as a long time readerWheel of Time appears to either be disappointing long time readers or disappointing that particular sort of fan who thinks the color of someone's eyes (among other trivialities) are relevant to the story. To the former, as a long time reader myself, I understand. Change is hard. The books meander across the vast terrain and the characters may go long stretches where they don't appear at all. Actors need to work to sign a contract, and the adaptation needs to try to preserve that. Changes must be made. There are hundreds of important characters. Combining stories and splitting up tasks must happen to make it work. I think book readers are being far to harsh. I have really enjoyed this production and I believe the important character arcs are in fact being salvaged even if they are told differently. And beloved characters lost may not be lost- I would reserve judgment on that point. To the folk who fear a production representative of the broad look of humanity in all its diversity, I can't imagine your points of contention will do anything other than affirm that the show is doing the right thing in that area. Episode 8 was surprising to me because of some particular changes, but knowing that they need to preserve their cast for future seasons does necessitate changes that allow them to be in the story. People note changes to Mat, Perrin, and Morraine most specifically. The former two help place the characters on their paths in a way that helps non-readers get on board faster. I have no idea what WoT is going to do with Morraine's major change- a change I would have understood if it occurred later. I imagine, as stated above, that it's about keeping the actor on the show through story lines she wouldn't see otherwise. Since I understood the other changes, I choose to trust this one. This was a good episode. This was an easy 8/10 for me.… Expand
