Yes. Most of the changes he talks about are good for the medium transition AgentApple Send a noteboard - 28/10/2021 10:17:23 AM

I highly doubt I'll be in love with every decision they make to adapt this to screen, but there's no choice but to cut and change things. Knowing the show runner really knows the books and is clearly passionate about the details is great.
Some of that comes through in the trailer. The knife stabbing at Logain has the Silver Stars of Ghealdan. A small thing, barely noticable, which makes it all the more impressive they bothered.

Having Logain early is a great choice to visually contrast against Moraine's use of the OP, and it also world builds. I wish they could play up the possibility of Logain being the true Dragon Reborn. In the book Moiraine doesn't say directly that one of them is to confront the DO. She words it more like "he considers you three important enough to risk sending his forces into the open." I guess for a restless TV audience the stakes have to be more spelled out.

The video of Rafe Judkins commenting on the trailer is also worth watching. Legolas - 27/10/2021 09:19:11 PM 280 Views
Yeah he definitely seems very knowledgeable about the series fionwe1987 - 27/10/2021 09:40:43 PM 201 Views

I liked him way back on Survivor. I guess it's good he didn't win AgentApple - 28/10/2021 10:18:44 AM 175 Views
The truncated Third Oath is just sloppy whatever the justification. damookster - 28/10/2021 06:56:54 PM 288 Views
Trailers truncate. That's nothing new. *NM* fionwe1987 - 28/10/2021 07:15:24 PM 94 Views

Umm isn't the reason for the wording obvious? fionwe1987 - 28/10/2021 10:01:39 PM 193 Views
Though clever, this explanation isn't very satisfying. Narg - 29/10/2021 12:00:17 AM 215 Views
I don't think so aerocontrols - 29/10/2021 01:26:46 AM 189 Views
