I enjoyed the episode.
Before I get crucified, let me explain.
That episode was not from The Eye of the World. I didn't have to remind myself it was another turning of the wheel, it was so blatantly obvious I had to remind myself it was based on TWoT.
I have many issues if we're assuming...
I want to point out first that Liandrin was clearly not interested in going anywhere until Lan showed up (at the Encampment with Logain in the cave) and yet said, pointedly, that she was "just leaving". Second, after telling Nynaeve pretty explicitly to go check out the gardens, she said she...
