re: The Wheel of Time -- Season 2 coming in September -- Wise Ones Thread (Book Spoilers)

I finished the 3rd episode this morning and while I have a lot of criticisms I'm going to keep watching as it does have some positives and I'm hoping it will get better as we get into the meat of the story.

Pros: The actors for Mat, Nynaeve, Fain, and Valda. All great choices so far. I like Mat's backstory change because I think coming from such a bad family life helps explain his carefree nature in later books. The look of the Fade.

Cons: Egwene, I won't harp on it because I've complained enough prior to the show starting but I just don't like the actress. The White Cloak telling Moiraine to find an Aes Sedai to heal her and that the dragon could be born as a man or woman. That last one makes absolutely no sense because if that was true they would kill every single channeler both male and female. It's obvious Rand will still be the Dragon but it's just such a nonsensical idea.
