While I am not against adaptation departing heavily from the sorce material, the Wheel of Time show does it just terrible ways. Matt is a perfect example. The tea and past lives gets rid of the snakes and foxes... so no reason to Noal to sacrifice himself, and likely no Noal... Moraine won't need to rescued so Thom won't be ing, I doubt Thom will be returning to the show... Matt's spear will not be need to escape and he did not receive it for the foxes or snakes instead it is made from the jeweled dagger cutting all of Fain running a muck with it. And it just spider webs from there.
