BookMattBetterThanShow

me too

As a book lover, I must admit that I was initially disappointed with the first season of the show. I gave it a C-, and I gave season 2 a B. However, I’m thrilled to say that season 3 has completely turned things around! It’s been a solid A for me. Sure, there are a few minor issues, but they’re nothing too significant. When the show was first announced, I recommended it to my friends and family, telling them that the books were incredibly good. Unfortunately, most of them didn’t come back for season 2. I told them I was really enjoying season 3 and that they should give it another chance, but they were hesitant about having to go through season 2. Now I am wondering if I should just recommend they just watch certain episodes of season 2, just the ones need to get them into season 3. Just not sure which ones I could have them skip and still understand season 3?

Looks like we aren't getting any longer run times

I think she was expecting the attack

I am really excited now for season 3, special after my disappointment with the first two seasons. I thought season 1 had more bad moments than good ones. Season 2 was much better, but still had some story lines that were just not needed and Season 2 episode 8 was a real downer. After the first watch of the sneak peak, I was just so excited for the season to begin. After watching it again, I can see some of the flaw that others have written about, but I think that is just nit picking at this point. This is an excellent start and let's hope they keep it up. I know they have to make changes to the story and I don't mind changes to the story, just hate changes that are not needed. Hopefully they are getting back to the book this season.

Spoler Warning:

Well I have a lot of hope now that was great 11 minutes!!!!

These were my exact thoughts, you hit the nail on the head here. I really hated that they let Egwene escape without any help at all. I think they are missing that one of the points of the books is how they all need each other to defeat the dark one and none of they can do it without help.

I agree, all of the non book people I recommend to watch the show had it figured out to be Rand by episode 2. Which surprised me, thought it would have taken non book people longer to figure it out. Wonder if this was just the people I recommend it to or was this pretty common?

I would agree, but they waste so much time coming up with their own story line, which would be fine if they had more episodes. Since they don't, how about staying on the original story and not add stuff.

I disagree, but hope you are right

I think the only things I hated in the first episode was the "Perrin has a wife? Matt's a POS scumbag?". I have lots of issues with other episodes, but those manly revolve around them just making up whole episodes that have nothing to do with the story and I felt like they were written poorly. I have rank season 1 as a C- and season 2 as a B-, hoping Season 3 will move to a A. The hard thing for me is how bad they have handled both season final. The trailer is giving hope.

This is a great statement and I agree 100%.

Well done, really liked most of her points. I force myself to finish season one, just because I loved the book so much. I thought season two was better, still lots of issue. Just hope that season3 improves from season 2 as season 2 did from season 1

Wondering if the oaths do not apply to the truth as we see it, but what the Aes Sedai believes? If she believes something then the oaths will apply to that belief correct?
