What the fuck, Lan, the legendary blade master loses to two fades?

Fades are no joke, but in the books he'd have turned them into sashimi

I think episode 1 was really good apart from that. The casting is really good (not how I pictured Eylas, but I can jive).

I feel the opposite, but not because Lan isn't an amazing badass. It's because fades are hardcore, and wasn't it 3 fades he fought (he chopped one's head off while two more emerged from the shadows, I think) instead of just 2? I think the fades were just about right power-wise or maybe even nerfed a bit, to be honest. Lan could take 1, would struggle with 2, but 3? He did a pretty good job killing 2 of 3, tbh.

Three fades makes more sense. I saw him cut the head off of the one but it didn't register that the third fade came out of nowhere. Still, look how they massacred my boy!

In the early books fades are really scary as you get further into the series, however they seem to get nerfed.

Yeah, fades are more easily killed by everyone in book 6 onward, I think. Maybe it's related to the introduction of the gholam.
