I just thought Rand having a bow meant something particularly special because no one else seems to have a bow. I mostly skip intros unless it’s really good. I can’t remember if the bow had any significance in the book but it didn’t seem out of place for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit of a symbol for the men of Two Rivers, sort of like the braids for the Women's Circle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammymvpknight Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 I really liked the book intro…so it was disappointing to not see it on the big screen. I’ve only made it through the first episode…so we’ll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For reasons I don't quite understand, they played down his pranking, joking side in the first couple of episodes. That makes his season one character arc harder to see for the audience. But the actor was spot on for episode 3. I think they made a good choice of making Mat’s humor more subdued and dry ie. his two questions to Lan at Shadar Logoth. It actually got a chuckle out of me.

Xenos Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Now I know why I’m annoyed with the actor playing Rand. He looks and feels like he’s channeling Hayden Christiansen’s Anakin. Maybe that’s deliberate 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downloaded the first 3 episodes for my flight, not sure if I’ll keep watching, but it’s enjoyable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gnat Posted November 22, 2021 Author Share Posted November 22, 2021 I'm two episodes in and I'm enjoying it. I thought the first one they crammed too much into and added in one piece of character development in a way that was heavy handed with Perrin. I get what they were going for, they just weren't subtle about it. The second episode I liked a lot. And I also don't know that I can think of a show that has better casting. Everyone works really well in the show. I missed the Tam fever dream as well, I get what they are doing, again, it just feel less interesting.

Yeah, i was hoping for a little more inferences to: Spoiler Rand's heritage. I think they kind of did with the Aiel and the hair but the fever dream really would've made that clearer. They must be wanting to go with the mystique of who the Dragon is, but I think after episode 3 it's already becoming clear there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler Agreed, I think that it'd be a more interesting story to see Rand struggle with it versus "who is the dragon" - everyone knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeezla Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I think I need to see another 3 episodes before I can really judge this, but the set designs and costumes are great. A little bugged that Rand doesn't have red hair. He looks like a lannister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
