    S1E8, The Eye of the World, with book spoilers

    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...

    S1E5: "Blood Calls Blood" - w/Book Spoilers

    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...

    S1E5: "Blood Calls Blood" - w/Book Spoilers

    The angle and location where Egwene stabbed him would normally have required major medical attention. That is a "killing" strike in most bladed martial arts. That said, if he wasn't bleeding out already by the end of that scene (which he wasn't) then it clearly missed any arteries. As far as...

    S1E5: "Blood Calls Blood" - w/Book Spoilers

    I missed Fain... I need to re-watch. I honestly didn't have any complaints about this episode. It depicts an aspect of Aes Sedai / Gaidin society that is never addressed in the books, and I found it quite appropriate that Lan, clearly being a close friend with Stepin, was asked to be...

    Was Lan raped?

    That's how I feel as well.

    S1E4: "The Dragon Reborn" - w/Book Spoilers

    I don't know that I see the foreshadowing, but it's clear to me the song is about LTT

    S1E4: "The Dragon Reborn" - w/Book Spoilers

    I think it's more likely he hears the voices of madness, encouraged by the voices of Ishy and the other forsaken.

    New "Licensed Apparel"

    To me, this feels like Captain Planet. Like, cheesy and gimmicky. I get why they did it, but it still feels shallow and lacking the comprehension of how they were embedded throughout the story. LOL I like where this is going

    S1E4: "The Dragon Reborn" - w/Book Spoilers

    I didn't catch Mat's red hand in the nightmare. Good catch! The rest made me giggle. I didn't precisely catch the striped shawl/blanket on Eggy, but I did note that it had colours rather than just being a bright solid. I warned people that the first couple episodes would be rough, if not...

    Was Lan raped?

    While RJ and Harriet wrote the Tylin/Mat rape as "humorous", I don't believe it was intended to diminish the seriousness, but rather to ease into the conversation. In all cases, I believe that was the intent. Mat, Lan, Myrelle. The point was to generate discussion of SA/SH situations where...

    S1E4: "The Dragon Reborn" - w/Book Spoilers

    I have a feeling they plan to retcon the "warder healing" thing.

    S1E4: "The Dragon Reborn" - w/Book Spoilers

    Yeah, I was more meaning that I wasn't paying attention to the dagger haha.

    S1E4: "The Dragon Reborn" - w/Book Spoilers

    I didn't notice the clean blade. I was focused on Mat's face and looking for signs of the corruption and of blood splatter. It would have been a terrible change to have Mat murdering people for no reason, IMO

    S1E4: "The Dragon Reborn" - w/Book Spoilers

    My initial reaction to Logain seeing Nynaeve channel was that he saw saidar, but now that I'm reminded he has the Talent to see ta'veren I can see that being the case. We know Nynaeve isn't one in the books... but since the Three lost their ta'veren nature after Tarmon Gaidon, perhaps this was...

    S1E3 "A Place of Safety" -- w/ Book Spoilers

    Specifically, Perrin and Egwene, if nobody else in Emond's Field. Egwene because the Inn likely had rules around Tinkers, and heard LOTS of talk and rumour about all kinds of people. Perrin because Tinkers practice essentially back yard blacksmithing, and any smith worth the boots on their...

    S1E3 "A Place of Safety" -- w/ Book Spoilers

    Actually, good point. I forgot the show was gearing up to leave who the DR was a mystery until the last moment. The whole scene with Dana kinda ruined that, and so early in the season too. But yes, I was disappointed we didn't hear the battle cries
