I was excited to see it but my viewership flagged within a few minutes, when they tossed out the whole gendered One Power yin yang conceit so central to the books. Did I miss anything good?
Something similar happened at the start of the Hunger Games, when one character playfully makes the protagonist miss her shot at a deer, when both of them have starving families to feed. That one did get a little better, partly because it was hard to get worse.
If you're going to betray the source material best to get it over with quickly, so I can go do something else. Thanks for that.
Well... for one they didn't do this, so you probably should have watched a bit more!
"The Dragon has been born again, and it's one of you. But we don't know whether they were born as a girl or a boy." -- Moiraine, in the series opening
That seems to throw out the gender determinism of the books. Do they walk that back? Is it an isolated exception? It's like starting The Fellowship of the Ring with a scene of Smeagol getting a great deal on the one ring at Diamonds Direct.Adding a couple other people to the candidate pool for TDR didn't change much except leave new viewers guessing who TDR was for the first season whereas in The Eye of the World it was very obvious from the start
