So, was season 2 better than season 1?
Kind of? The deviations from the books were a little less out-of-nowhere:
Rand interacting with Logaine to learn about his power? Sure, that’s an interesting idea.
Moiraine being stilled/grappling with that? Sure, why not — Rosamund Pike is good.
The Egwene-as-damane stuff was fine too. And I like that they mostly abandoned her love triangle nonsense with Rand/Perrin from S1.
The main thing I’m annoyed by — aside from the generally not-great writing — is kind of illustrated in the memes: by the end of TGH Rand has defeated a blade master and killed Ishamael on his own using what he’s learned from Lan, despite not knowing how to channel. Show Rand (and Egwene) kind of already can channel pretty well when it suits the plot, so his progress as a character isn’t satisfying.
