I didnt read the spoilers in detail, but from my vague impressions:

Have no real issue with the Tarwin's Gap scene, at least from Rand's perspective. He has plenty of huge moments upcoming, including far more important ones in season 2. Plus, I actually didnt really like how it worked in the books with Rand just kind of magically appearing and saving the day with no real clue of what he was actually doing. Would prefer they upgrade his knowledge level in season 2 which would lead into the Falme/Stone of Tear stuff.

Biggest Rand issue is the leaving post Eye. Makes no sense to sideline Rand off on his own, especially after how much they backgrounded him throughout season 1. Also makes no sense why Moiraine would allow this. Book 2 Moiraine "allows" Rand off the leash to basically jedi mind trick him, plus Verin was following close behind. This seems like she lets Rand go off completely alone with no supervision. We'll see how it plays into season 2, but that was my one big issue.

Nothing else was really all that surprising or shark jumping so to speak.

Under 24 hours now.

For the most part, I think I understand the changes - I'll see how it plays out on screen. Some people will definitely be pissed, I don't completely blame them as it seems like a lot really had that as a big scene in their heads.

End of book 1 never really held much of a place for me in terms of big moments honestly so as long as everyone gets their time, I understand.

Seems from my perspective they're going to just merge the plots of Books 2 and 3 into one
