In the middle of the first episode and really enjoying it. The character seem to have much more organic connection and depth than in the books. I always hated how they turned Rand into basically a robot tool. They may get there, but happy we are where we are the connections still exist.
S3 seems better written so far. Good action sequence in Ep1. the Aviendha casting remains awful. Awful.
Lanfear is A+. honestly, visually show has been upgraded significantly. like even the Ways are cooler
yes, I don't want to inject race into this, but it is hard not to when we know they are light skinned redheads. They even remark that Elayne could pass for Aiel, which I also thought when I saw her. I am really enjoying the depth this season though, and even trying to interject comedic lines. Makes it feel like the story ahs more texture. I mean Nynaeve even making a funny sexual observation is just not in the books at all, but in a good way. Always felt Jordan's details tended to be very flat and impersonal.
I do really like the show. But the Rand actor is so bland to me. I’m not sure if it’s him or the writing for him but I just wish he was a little more charismatic.
It’s not even race (although it is distracting), her accent sucks and she’s not a good actress. I think Rand is bland but better in S3, especially dream Rand. I think the acting this season is better and so is the writing. It’s very noticeable how much better the new Mat is this season. I think Egwene and Elayne actresses are good in S3, and even Nynaeve seems better this season (but she’s still pretty forgettable). So far, the actress who plays Chiad is outshining Aviendha by a wide margin.
Very fair point. I had that thought as I typed that earlier. I guess it’s just my eyes glaze over when he’s on screen and for the main character I’d prefer that didn’t happen.
The Elayne actress is my favorite of the bunch. She’s really good imo. off topic kinda but when I was in London last year I saw an ad for Hadestown and the guy that plays Mat was the lead. Had no idea he was also someone who could be on West End
Loved the first episode and about to watch the other two. Only thought at the conclusion of the episode: Spend an entire season trying to find your friends and regroup because strength in numbers and best friends forever Hangout for one month Alright guys time to split up
Yeah she’d probably the second best in my eyes. I’m interested to see Perrin more this season Spoiler especially after introducing Faile
Lanfear>Elayne>Egwene>Moraine>>>>>>>>every other actress. Andor contingent was well cast as well. They’ve really nailed most of these characters.
Goddamnit I knew Lanfear looked familiar. Lizzie from Peaky Blinders. But she looks a lot hotter in this.
That's the books too. You are always hoping for them to get back together and for things to be how they were. That drives a lot of the drama.
Yea but they let her get sexy in this show. They tried to make all the women in that show except grace and the crazy russian chick look real homely.
