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 going forward. Can't wait for the next season, bring it on sooner than later.

SEASON 1
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 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.

While not a 0 as upset book fans claim (despite being one of those myself XD) the finale was still quite a mess. COVID & Barney leaving might have contributed, but I'd rather have had delays to the show than see an unfinished product. Here's to hoping the next season learns from this one and goes on to develop stronger storytelling.

I rarely create accounts only to rate tv shows negatively, yet what Amazon and Rafe Judkins is doing to the late Robert Jordan's masterpiece is sacrilegious enough to make me do it and here I am. It's understandable TV shows need to make small changes to their source material to accommodate for the medium because some stuff is just not possible on a screen. But with the budget this series has that is not an excuse for the **** that was episode 8. Up until now, I was hoping the show would get better but episode 8 has come to kill that hope. Tons of weird changes big and small that has no reason to exist, Loial dead? Moiraine stilled? Ltt is now a big jerk? A bunch of side characters with no training stealing the Dragon Reborn's much needed spotlight? Them calling LTT the dragon reborn yet he was the first dragon? The Aiel is now the Aiel Jungle? Agelmar, a war veteran dead in 30 seconds? Mat, the joy of the series and great fun to watch, becoming Bully Mattguire? Anticlimactic forsaken "fight"? Not to say the lazy editing, effects and cgi that does not belong to a show with 9 digits. I could say more but that's enough. I won't watch s2. Go read the books. Don't support this obvious appeal to feminism and who knows what their target audience was.

Later GoT seasons pale in comparison to earlier seasons because they strayed from the author's story. The WoT show strays from the author's story from the beginning, which makes it feel like GoT season 8 and does not bode well for the rest of the series. It's very, very loosely based off the books, while GoT stayed close to the books early on, which is why it was good. TV writers are not as good as Robert Jordan or G.R.R. Martin... and it shows.
