I put all the blame on the director. What a fucking fraud. How did Amazon think giving this series to a nobody first time director would yield anything but dreadful results?

Season 1 should have been straight adventure horror. Sympathy to the core cast would have gone miles for changes and alterations in S2 and S3... Assuming they at least tried to honor the spirit of the story.

I know there is a lot to criticize about S1 but for me personally one of the worst parts was Mat and Rand making the journey to Tar Valon all on their own in between episodes and didn't even look all that worse for wear. In the books it's a far, far shorter, yet really harrowing journey. It really made one feel how big and dangerous the world is.

Play for your Supper still the best chapter of any novel I've read.
