Episode 202 was solid. I enjoyed Elayne's and Selene's introductions the most. Book Elayne can sometimes be annoying, and I was pleased with her portrayal. Somehow, even though she repeats she is the daughter heir a couple of times and calls Egwene her subject, the way Elayne took having her luxuries away and accepting the punishment was great to make it clear that she is more than meet the eyes and not an out-of-touch princess.
I also enjoyed show Selene more. While I'm glad most people I spoke to about the show agree she is not to be trusted, the show's version is excellent mainly because Selene is out of the bat, more believable, mature, and interesting than in the damsel in distress stereotype she is in books.
In conclusion, both characters are in a way upgrades from their book versions while still recognizable and familiar. I can't wait to see more of their story in the show.
