I'm mostly teasing you. It's good to have it in its own thread as the day of release gets closer. All good. -

Min is working for Leandrin and Ishamael in Season 2, but somehow this causes no issue in getting a job working for Siuan in Season 3.
Lan and Moiraine S2 and Min's involvement with everyone were the worst offenders I was thinking of with my "wild decisions" comment. Series 3 felt like a hard course correct, but I don't understand the thinking with those decisions in the first place.
I think Lan and Moraine thing was done as a part of the natural fact that Rosmund Pike is the MAIN star of the show, so they wanted more storylines with her than what she has in the books at that point. So they contrived a way (losing her powers) to keep her front and centre with conflict (being misguidedly awful to each other) to keep here there and keep it interesting without stepping on the main storyline with the youths. As for Min, I dunno if anyone else feels this was but Min in the books is one of the most one-dimensional characters in the whole thing, existing ONLY to crush on Rand and tell the future...taking her and giving her layers and having her briefly work with the baddies, and end up with a stronger bond with Mat instead feels like a really SOLID change to the narrative. They were never going to do Rand's WHOLE harem, so may as well change existing harem members into more rounded characters. TV show Min is about 100 times more interesting than Book Min.
YMMV though.
TRB beat you to it a couple of weeks or so ago.
