Full Confession: I am a bit taken aback by the reviewers who are angry that this series doesn't follow the books exactly. Seriously? This is a TV series. It is not the written word. There are very, VERY few novels (or even actual history) which can translate to the screen in an exact manner. If I remember correctly, there were 14 books in "The Wheel of Time" series. And there were over 2,000 characters. And hundreds upon hundreds of locations. There is no possible way that could be translated to the screen in an exact manner. I am happy that the show runners chose a path which is faithful in essence. They emphasize that which is important and sometimes do it in a way that is different than the books yet true to the plot. Good for them. I appreciate the consideration. I'm loving Moraine. And Season Two has allowed some actors to shine. I especially like Perrin, Min and Rand. This is important because I wasn't totally convinced of their casting choice in Season One. I'm hooked. I'll be watching every week. And I often rewatch the latest episode before the next one airs (just to be sure I have all details set). By the way, there are several excellent covers of "Weep for Manetheren" available on YouTube.
