Really enjoying it so far, the first half of the first episode I was really picking it apart. They made it clear the characters were a bit more mature and we're getting an abbreviated story, I thought Egwene and Rand having sex was gross and really betrayed the original story, but it establishes their relationship and maturity without much camera time, so I get it. Then the Trolloc attack started and I put on my fanboy hat and left it there. The only thing I didn't like from the first 3 episodes that stayed with me was Thom's complete lack of a magnificent mustache.
I spent half a day reminiscing over the books with my brother and I'm still surprised by how much I forgot about: Ogier, White Cloaks and even Padan Fain. I even blurted out "Go #### yourself, Padan Fain" after he was introduced, cuz I'm a loser fanboy who's revelling in possibly my last chance to really be a loser fanboy over something.
