My mother is currently going through the books for the first time all the way through and every time we discuss them her main takeaway on Robert Jordan is "This guy is a loving pervert, how did Harriet let him get away with even half of this poo poo?"

Yeah, that's where most of us are at at this point. Sounds like some cool stuff had to be left on the cutting room floor due to time. A 10 or 13 episode season would really help but...oh well.

The one played by the actress who plays Cho Chang in the Harry Potter films, specifically.

honestly, that's more memorable than any line she had as Cho Chang in the Harry Potter movies. I'd consider that a point of pride

I really agree the show needs more time to breathe. Don't need any more big action sequences, just more talking and character work. Maybe another funky dream sequence because that felt amazing.

Very much the opposite, your post made me want like a Behind The Scenes style channel from the costume design / props departments [of any big-budget fantasy show really, not necessarily WoT specifically though I do love it all]

i love what little has been put out there about that type of content. i would also like to see more about costume and prop and set design and the challenges of bridging your vision to the author's and...!

Luckily there is a lot of insta and twitter content about the costuming.

Robert Jordan really stepped out too early, Ishamael as a Jordan Peterson-style "philosopher" could work.

No, it's because he's the only person I could think of that was specifically into crypto fraud instead of just regular fraud.

The show really hasn't been going overboard with accents like I hoped it would. Bayle Domon only does one "do be" and the rest of his dialogue is just miscellaneous fantasy British. They really could have leaned into it and done some cool cultural-marker stuff if they wanted.
