The Wheel Weaves as the Wheel Wills
Update: 2021-11-22
Description
The long awaited Wheel of Time television premier is finally here and we have the first three episodes to binge. We review the premier episodes and discuss whether this adaption is worth the time of casual viewers and die hard WoT book fans alike. We also compare the show to the books, what we feel they got right and wrong, and where we think the series will go from here as the rest of the season releases over the next several weeks. Duty is heavier than a mountain, and our duty is to deliver our thoughts to the masses! We hope you enjoy the ride along side us as The Wheel of Time makes is debut to the world.

On the subject of the Whitecloaks' lack of armor, I'd like to mention that I also expected Lan (and later, the Shienarans and all the higher-level forces of Randland) to be in full plate, etc. I just figured that they might have had to de-escalate all the armor in Randland as a cost-reducing measure across the episodes and across the hoped for 6-8 seasons. Also, for changing the rats to bats, maybe they figured bats were more natural out in the woods than rats. I figure that's a small change and not a big deal. What is a slightly bigger deal to me about that scene is that Moiraine didn't make any comment about, say, bats here, can be eyes for the Dark One. To me, the paranoia of such potential spies is the more important than that such eyes might specifically be rats rather than bats.
