I've had a chance to see the first episode of the Wheel of Time, and I have many questions about their choices, but the biggest one is this.

The casting of Padan Fain. He's (going to be) basically the most evil thing born this side of the Breaking of the World, and they consider it fine to cast the actor with the darkest skin for the role?
Did they even bother reading even to the end of the first book (if I remember it correctly, or maybe it's the beginning of the second) before doing the casting?
Or are they going to skip a major episode, drastically change the character and the series should basically be considered a completely different thing from the books? (this would be the least bad option, I guess. The books *do* have a number of problems.)
