The Trollocs are painted as relentless in their pursuit of the Dragon Reborn, as though that were the sole reason for their existence. They navigate dangerous forests and have to fend off another pack of Trollocs. We pick up right after Moiraine takes the four potentials with her. While the second episode carries over some of those issues, it definitely gets better as it nears its end. That likely explains why some of the initial episodes may have wonky pacing. Instead, we got 8 episodes of an hour each. Some behind-the-scenes digging makes this a bit more clear: apparently the original plan was for Season 1 to have 10 episodes, with Rafe even requesting for a 2 hour pilot. One of the lingering criticisms of the first episode was that it crammed too much, resulting in an abrupt pacing that switched from moments of solitude to action-adventure mode too quickly. Amid all this frenzy though, showrunner Rafe Judkins and his team of writers and directors are feeling the pressure of trying to ensure they get this right. And Amazon is hoping that this will do to their streaming platform what Game of Thrones did to HBO. Newbies are looking for a fun, entertaining show to watch and return to every year. Fans want a true-to-the-book adaptation that’s nothing less than exceptional in the quality of storytelling and the scope of effects.
Everyone from fans, newbies and studio executives are looking forward to how this will turn out for their own reasons. The Wheel of Time is a hugely anticipated show no doubt.
