Either Lan or Algemar was supposed to teach Rand how to use a sword. Well, I guess not Algemar. A woman can't teach a man to channel, so that's a pretty big gamble by Moraine. Tarwin's Gap made me sure that not enough money was spent on the series. It was well done for a director trying desperately to hide the lack of epic scope. Hoping for more cash thrown at season two, especially in CGI.
The nice character trait in Padan Fain (in the books) was just how horrible he was. The Fades followed him out of fear of how depraved and slimy he could be, not because he is slick and noble. It think that was a lost opportunity. How the hell does he have the Horn of Valere?
I'm trying to be upbeat about the series, but the writers need to up their game. It's ok for the world to have depth, and for each character to be fully realized.
Tuon hates that girl on the beach.
