Thanks for creating the post :-)

This was a very Perrin-centric episode. I have to admit, even in the books his story arch never really catched on to me. Still, there were some great moments in this episode as well.

Likes:

• The villagers' song. I love that we get a catchy song in every episode now. (Edit: Its not new but the atmosphere was perfect)
• In general, how they handled the fight scenes as well as the training of the villagers.
• Faile: So much better than the books. Same with her relationship with Perrin.
• Really glad they got rid of Dain Bornhold, who thought Perrin was a dark friend. Never made much sense, and everything could still happen as known if he just hates him because of his father.
• Bain and Chiad. Their style, their behavior, their comments, everything. Together they are my secret favorites this season.
• The two river set is still great and the landscape shots fit perfectly into how I imagined the area years ago.

Dislikes:

• Would have liked to see more Trollocs, less dark friends in the battles.
• The death of Loial. I just don't see a reason for him not to be in the later seasons. Of course, it could be another Fake death, but I would dislike that even more. The high numbers if this is still one of my top criticisms of the show.

The wheel of time series is what sparked my love for reading. I feel like I have to watch it, even though I know it's pretty bad. The scenery is decent enough.

If I had any sense I would stop hate watching this show. Had to convince myself that this is just a completely seperate turning of the wheel where everyone has been huffing paint.

So they:

If this show hits Season 6 I predict things will have shifted so much that we may literally start to see entirely different franchises showing up, maybe we will see who they cast as Pug, or Belgarath.

My wife is thinking about getting me a bell for besides the couch.
