It's amusing that they kept red hair = Aiel in the show, where if you're Black you are from Two Rivers, or Cairhien, or Tar Valon, or Shienar, or The racial makeup of Randland is extremely melting pot but if you have red hair you MUST be from the nomadic desert people!

Like he didn't even try to smear any black dye or something on the stubble, just straight up "No one will recognize me because I'm bald. You're a genius, Rand al'Thor!". Meanwhile everyone's like "Hey look at this weird bald Aiel guy! What's up with that?"

Just finished season 2 and IMO it was a dramatic step up from season 1. I thought season 1 was pretty mid all in all but season 2 has redeemed the series. Two main takeaways for me. 1. I’d follow Lanfear into hell if she asked. 2. gently caress this show for killing a good dog. That was sad. Good poo poo and I can’t wait for season 3.

Perrin I feel like is the weakest part of the show. Whenever he’s on screen I wish he wasn’t.

I hope they nominate episode 6 and Egwene's actor in that episode for an Emmy. Also they better get an Emmy for the costuming.

Id say one weakness is that the show has failed to really establish just how powerful of a channeller Rand is, even in an untrained state.

Yeah between Logain saying something along the lines of "with that much power you don't need training" and him just doing an Indiana Jones on Turok and his crew... They're trying.

Seeing how Siuan alone was able to easily shield him I'm going to say Logain was wrong that he doesn't need training.

Yeah I won't get into book vs show stuff but the show has established that one Aes Sedai is able to throw a shield and maintain it on the most powerful channeller in history, WHILE he's embracing the Source. Obviously he's untrained, and hopefully in time this is something he could just laugh off. But man does it make him look pathetic vs. the Legend of The Dragon Reborn. In a setting with such a well fleshed-out magic system with established rules, the various ways the Power is displayed matter to establishing the guidelines.

Yeah, there has not been a Lanfear outfit miss yes. Maybe the white sleevless shirt and black pants purely because it looked so boring compared to everything else, but she still rocked it.
