I don't really want to comment on the "woke" side of it, I just...some of the casting choices I don't understand at all. And I don't think they had the actors audition against one another, which makes me wonder about how well they'll actually gel together as a cast once on screen.

So Sophie Okonedo has been formally cast as Siuan. She is a good actress, and I can actually see her in this role so it's a first for me. Kae Alexander has also been cast as Min, which is a selection I am slightly less enamored with. But we shall see.

Do we know how old Thom is supposed to be? I doubt it though.

And Thoms old enough that it would probably be believable

I constantly oversleep. Meh, I am very bored with lockdown and am missing pubs and bars.

Yes, clearly Demandred had never read the evil overlord list.

They're lovey with each other because they'd just been reunited in the last book. I give it a year tops.

So they're making some changes to Perrin's story. Now make no mistake, Perrin is quite possibly the character I care about the least, but I'm uneasy about the random and unnecessary changes to the story. I'm starting to feel like this is one of those "you should never meet your heroes" things, where you shouldn't have your favourite book series televised. Bah.

I’m okay with these choices, most are unknowns so it’s very much a ‘wait and see’ in terms of how they actually portray the characters

Where is everyone? The internet is abuzz with rumours that Rosamund Pike has been cast as Moiraine😑:

I see the forums have been updated 😊 it looks great. Albeit quiet :P

I think Vampire Moiraine would be even more awesome that normal Moiraine because she would be normal Moiraine only with more Vampirey super powers .
