    If I had any sense I would stop hate watching this show. Had to convince myself that this is just a completely seperate turning of the wheel where everyone has been huffing paint.

    So they:

    spoiler
    • nerfed Padan Fain (so many knock on effects from skipping previous story beats)
    • apparently decided Loial has had a good enough run
    • Alanna got penetrated again
    • decided to skip the rest of Eamon Valdas character arc
    • started Lord Perrin off with a whimper, not a bang
    • made Arams concious and quite wrenching rejection of the only way of life he has ever known into a scrambled impulse decision
    • forgot that Tam existed
    • since they made Abell Cauthon into a drunken lecherous arsehole looks like two of Perrins most valuable officers have just been written out as well
    • Alanna doesn’t believe in sending girls with the spark to the White Tower now? Really? I guess since training is now optional and anyone can just pick it up over a weekend it’s not that important right?
    • So are they going to bother with Lord Luc (I mean they cast him and he has had 2 lines of dialogue so…), will we meet Slayer, or are they going to drop that storyline as well?

    If this show hits Season 6 I predict things will have shifted so much that we may literally start to see entirely different franchises showing up, maybe we will see who they cast as Pug, or Belgarath.

    My wife is thinking about getting me a bell for besides the couch.

      It really is a love/hate for me: on one hand, I love seeing my favorite scenes (Rhuidean, for example) brought to life by a clearly talented cast. On the other hand, the writing is completely haphazard. Inexplicable changes that add no value and aren’t even tied in to the larger plot and character development, sloppy relationship building…somehow these show writers wrote a less convincing early relationship for Perrin and Faile than Jordan himself, and that’s saying something lmfao. I feel like book readers need some group therapy to process this mess LOL
