I used my google-fu to find a completely different link for the same picture

No, I cannot see yours

^This is important to remember, with any adaptation. Ahem. Having read them as white doesn't mean the casting is bad. Here we go. I've never seen someone complaining about "wokeness" to have a clear definition of what they mean other than "I'm mad they're minorities."

I think they meant at the time of settling, long before even the grandparents of those in the book were born. Various cultures met at the two rivers, decided it would be a good place to settle, and then never left.

Having large eyes does not preclude being Asian. Casting for eye size would be ridiculously granular.

Min isn't described as unmistakably Asian, but she's not exactly *not* Asian, either. Much of her description was focused on her build and clothing, but she was described as having brown hair and dark eyes.

:blink I don't remember that Sedai or her Warder at all

When I looked this up, I saw two photos of them side-by-side, but they weren't captioned and I didn't know who was who. Based on their appearances, I assumed who was playing which role... and I was surprised to find out that I was wrong. I think Kae looks more like Siuan to me, and Sophie would...

Yeah, Kathy Bates has a Verin physique, but you can see the steel in her backbone. Miriam Margolyes could work, but could she look ageless? I like Camryn Manheim. Tilda Swinton could do a good Cadsuane.

You know who I just realized I always pictured as Verin? Kate Mulgrew.

Yeah, I was really pulling for her to be Verin. Also, they spelled the name wrong. It's Ila, not Illa. :tug I should know, haha

That is an excellent Valda.

But that's what makes it brilliant

I'm disappointed that Tam isn't Sean Bean

She looks a lot more like how I pictured Verin than Siuan.

People have mentioned Lupita Nyong'o for Tuon, but I'd be interested in Samira Wiley for the role. But that's the brilliance. The audience metaknowledge would make his return that much more awesome.

Haha that officer looks like a doll on that horse! You weren't kidding!

Hang on, are you saying they've cast a horse for Bela and given her an announcement like the human actors?

I think that by the time it airs, it will be pretty obvious that Kathy Griffin and Lindsay Lohan aren't in it.
