"Stick to the source" doesn't mean "show every line on film". It means things like "don't shoehorn in this random-ass Warder that isn't in the books and nobody cares about" or "don't make up a dead wife for Perrin that adds nothing to the plot". And that's not getting into things that they almost did, like "Yeah, it's cool if Moiraine murders the ferryman in direct violation of the Three Oaths".

Sorry, the show was trash. It had a rich and complex world to draw from, and fucked it up hard. Just awful writing.

I just realized that Wheel of Time โ‰  Sword of Truth, or rather I read WoT and was thinking of SoT
