I like this! Maybe the book is a telling of the story as it happens and the show is a retelling centuries later with the information available to them. They don't have the inner monologue of the characters, they don't know all the exact details (ok, so Perrin wasn't married? Eh, his early life wasn't super clear in the written histories).
