However, the show has also accelerated into what was always going to be its biggest issue, that they will (assuming 8x8 episodes) have less episodes than GAME OF THRONES to tell a story almost three times as long, which would always entail a very high degree of adaptation.
So the solution there is to slow burn Suan sanche's background for an episode, and create some melodrama with lan and moraine in a visit to retired aes sedai with library lady, send rand to work as an orderly at an insane asylum*, and explore the background the show writers made up for nynaeve?
The job is hard. Lets make it harder!
The plot is an overly complicated watch.. or dare i say tapestry. Lets pull it apart here and I'm sure that won't mess us up anywhere down the line there...
*I think there's a reason you never saw one of these in the series. Anyone acting crazy is going to get lynched the first time someones cows go dry or there's a plague or lightning hits someone.
I'm a little sad they're not doing better with Ishamael. He was my favorite. But Lanfear being awesome...good stuff.
As for combining books 2 and 3...eh. Did they at least sound the Horn and the Heroes arrived? That's kind of important to me.

Yes, in the Season 2 finale. That was a pretty good scene.
Good! That was an important scene for me in Book 2. I still am unclear what they're gonna do with Padan Fain considering he was fairly important in the books.
From the look of it, in the show Padan Fain is more directly an agent of the Shadow rather than being a random wild card.
Well that kind of sucks...since up until
Well that kind of sucks...since up until ** spoiler omitted ** I thought him being the wild card MIGHT mean something for the ending.
Philip,
I hadn't either, but that's only because I only have up to Book 13. So...yeah. Regardless, it was a kind of crappy way to go for a character I had hoped do more than just be a cipher.
