Like in the book?

Or Rand could pretend to love her to protect Egwene

If this is a response to my post, that is not what I meant at all, and I apologise if that was not clear There are many changes I have disliked also, some where I can't see why they changed it, some for other reasons

Personally I find it very interesting to see viewpoints of non book readers, because that is presumably the main audience they need to attract, and also unbiased by not coming to this hoping to see something they already love. Also I think most (but not all) of the commenters who dislike the show do not dislike it due to its un faithfulness, at least not consciously, but because they can't see why things have been changed or why the change is an improvement. Separate point - not sure why anyone has a problem with there being some other hair colours amongst the Aiel as long as there nobody red haired anywhere else. And Tigraine is unexplained. (In book also it is a peculiarity that it is unique to Aiel and Andorra royal family iirc )

It is 3000 years later and we don't know if she was asleep or awake while sealed away

I find the vision of Janduin interesting in that it means the glass columns can show things that happened after they were created. In the books they dont iirc

I think she supplied her own immorality. Don't think needed any granting

in S1 e3 did anyone ever work what Mat starts to show Dana inside his coat and quickly stops? the dagger?

Now we have a date for S3, I thought perhaps it is a good time to rewatch S1&2. This time I am trying to see it as a standalone story - obviously aware of changes from the books, but not trying to analyse or understand them - just to see the TV show as its own story. Things I picked up in first half of S1E1 that stood out more than previous times... 1. Moiraine saying "the arrogance," and that women have to pick up the pieces left by men causing the Breaking is clearly deliberately juxtaposed with the way Liandrin and the Reds treat the Channeler, and how Liandrin described men channeling. Whether what Moiraine said is true or not, and the hubris of Lews Therin is referred to in the Extras, it seems clear that one is meant to pick up that at least some women have taken up that mantle in this Age. 2. The ambiguity of saying "We must find them before the Dark One does" leaves it very unclear what the role of the Dragon is. 3. I still have no idea how M knew about four ta'veren, or how a non-reader is meant to know what a ta'veren is. 4. Women's Circle seems in Show to mean all the women of the village, which is logical if the other leading roles are not specific to men - possible Marin is Mayor, for example. Trivia seems to be incorrect. 5. Do we ever find out what Egwene's arm wound is from? 6. Is Moiraine less wet than Lan? Umbrella weave! 7. Still want to know how Mat got the armlet. 8. Still a shame the pool scene with the seven colours was cut. 9. Interesting way they have interpreted Listening to the Wind.

how dare you argue with obvious facts based on mere statistics and evidence?
