    I think I'm intimidated by strong women.

    Part of the point of the whole damn series is that sometimes strong women are okay, and sometimes they fuck things up, just like dudes. Handing over the societal keys to feminazis is a lateral move.

    No chance this point, which was very much belabored in the books, is in any way referenced in the show.

      I didn't get that from the first couple of episodes. The reds were pretty much portrayed as feminazis in the short clip featuring them. I was expecting it to be more PC than it appeared, at least in the first episode.

      It's at least worth a look before writing it off completely.

      I was only joking

          Your post was very reminiscent of the books in that it suddenly stopped about 80% of the way through. 😀

          For some reason I can't see the spoiler.

            @Doctor-Phibes Yeah, I can’t either. I recall something about the spoilers being down.

            There were a few casting choices I didn’t care for, Lan and Tam primarily. While it felt odd at first for the Two Rivers to be populated by Indochinese , I was able to check my white privilege at the door and get past that. I don’t like where they have Perrin and Matrim at, though. I also didn’t feel the connection between these 3 Taveeren.

              I just finished the second episode. It was as meh as I remembered the first one… Of course, the books improved over time, maybe the show does, too?

                    The first episode. The script and acting were so humorless it was actually funny.

                            I’m going for it…

                            Perrin… Married? WTF? And she dies in the first episode? There can be no possible way for them to bring that character to where he’s supposed to go from there. And no axe? Now in the second episode, Mat gives him a knife that was crafted by Perrin’s wife and a long and expository talk about balancing it’s use as a tool and as a weapon…

                            Matrim… In the books he grew from being one of my least favorite character’s to being my favorite. The whole thing about his protectiveness towards his sisters and the issues with the parents? No frigging way. Sorry, but I don’t see where and how they go anywhere with him.

                            And everyone is frigging unlikeable.

                              From what I've seen, the characters really aren't the same people they were in the books, and it was the characters that made the books worth reading. The actual plot is pretty silly.

                              I was only joking
