I thought E4 was an absolute blast. Definitely stepped as far from book-canon as possible. I would say moreso than any other show. But the writing was spot-on, and the stuff that shocked me at first really doesn't change where they can go with it.

It's weird that they're making all the canonically young Aes Sedai old women. Moiraine, Alanna, and Liandrin are all under 50 in the books. They have older Aes Sedai to choose from if they want to show the agelessness. They could have said Verin was 300 or something.

I think the screen needed an impact for Aes Sedai long life. It was always weird that most of the Aes Sedai we meet in the books are under 50. One of those things Jordan went half-in on. I also think it added character depth to the normally one-dimensional Liandrin.
