I HATE to agree with you lol. Although Rosamund Pike is an established actress, she is not how i imagined Moiraine Damodred to look…but i can live with that. I expected Lan Madragoran to be much bigger, i guess i pictured him looking more like he did on the cover of the original Eye of the World novel lol, like a cross between a Mongol and a Samurai lol. Again, i can get over it…but when you say that none of the characters are likeable, i tend to agree there more heartedly. I know its only the first episode but none of them have really captured me yet…they all seem very underwhelming if you know what i mean. There is a good chance that all of this is simply because i have been so pumped to see this show since i heard about it that my expectations were just too high so in no way will I be NOT watching lol, but i DO hope that it becomes more….i don’t know, less choppy? You are right when you mentioned that if felt a little disjointed. I feel they are trying to rush too much at once. They dont need too! I keep my fingers crossed that they get their bearings and settle into a good rythm..i know it always takes a few episodes for a show to start getting their feet under it so heres to hoping! OH! and YES the Trollocs and the Fade looked BAD ASS lol i admit ;)
For me Rosamund Pike is the only thing that’s keeping this shows head above water but for how long. With the money spent on each episode I was expecting this show to hit the ball out of the park and wow us in every area but instead it looks more Xena quality rather than being the next stage of evolution within fantasy. Lord of the Rings is 20+ years old and has far superior CGI and sets than WoT. You can really tell when an actor is standing in front of a green screen and Shadar Logoth were obvious studio sets. Like you I was so excited for this show and had personal expectations of what it would be; this was enhanced by the mysterious trailers we were given. If they improve the special effects and script, and the acting massively improves it may get better over time but I’m not optimistic. I really hope I’m wrong as I’ve been waiting for this show for a very long time!
