I pretty much agree with Leigh Butler top 5 - https://www.tor.com/2018/02/26/top-five-moments-of-the-wheel-of-time/
The only one that is missing is The cleansing of Saidin
1. The topic of male channelers is sensitive and steeped in millennia of cultural and historical stigma. Even if saidin is cleansed, old beliefs and prejudices don't disappear overnight. Changing policies in societies as rigid as the Seanchan or Sea Folk would be a long-term endeavor.
2. After...
What foreshadowings have you noticed?
Including for much later books.
So major spoilers are expected in this thread.
Here are some I've noted (not personally of course, with help):
Mat's Ashandarei
(S02E08)
Mat makes a "quarterstaff"

tvinsider interview:
Rafe Judkins gave interview with Decider before the Finale
As Moiraine says, she chooses her words very carefully. So who did “order” Verin to take Rand’s shield?
Was it one of Moiraine’s allies? Or could it be Lanfear?

I've been thinking about the scene involving Lan and his discernment concerning Moiraine's stilling. Throughout the season I didn't like Lan's arc.
Frankly, at the end of the arc I found it nothing short of brilliant.
What makes this scene so satisfying is that Lan, as Moiraine's warder, is...
