Interesting, I didn't know that about Mat's actor. I wouldn't care about coming out recast, I'm always a bit baffled about reluctance to recast someone; it's the character that's important, not the actor, but I guess a different actor may portray the character differently and confuse some people when they look different.
Interesting what they're doing with the story. Agree with Harry I may have made different choices and emphasis, but I've never been one to be upset if a show/movie doesn't follow a book; I just care if the story is good and well done.
It's just that often the quality of the writing and dialog takes a dive when they forge their own path rather than pulling from the source material, be it this or WoT or whatever.
