Here is the episode synopsis:

The Dragon Reborn

Moiraine struggles with uncertainty while Lan struggles with their new companion. Rand wonders about Mat. Egwene and Perrin take their first steps down a different path. An incredible new power is unleashed on the world.

 

Thoughts:

  • Moiraine struggles with uncertainty 
    • Moiraine is worried she completely miscalculated on who the DR is.
  • Lan struggles with their new companion
    • Lanlan struggles with the butterflies he feels when he looks at Nynny
  • Rand wonders about Mat
    • They make it clear what the dagger is doing to Mat
  • Egwene and Perrin take their first steps down a different path
    • Not sure  - maybe Egwene channels a bit more. Not really sure what they mean by different paths here other than her ability to channel. Could be more wolf stuff too though.
  • An incredible new power is unleashed on the world.
    • We see (obvious) male channeling for the first time

A couple of thoughts on these.

For the first, maybe the show will draw more parallels with the two of them and TAR?  Funny enough, I read the entire series multiple times and it wasn't until the final Perrin vs Slayer that it dawned on me that they have the same thing.

Same thought to the incredible new power.  I imagine you're correct about Logain, but TAR would be good.

in episode 1 it was the butchered sheep, and in 3 it was the blood in the pool.

but in episode 2? I didn't notice it, where was it?

Ugh I feel like I saw one but I can't remember now. Guess I'll have to rewatch it again!

Is that Nynaeve channelling at the end there with Morraine on the ground and helpless?

I believe it is all Alanna with her multiple warders - Just Nynaeve cut into the middle of the sequence

 

Most interesting to me is Mat. Looks like they might be going for a visual effect to display the dagger's corruption on him

Ah yes it is Alanna.

The visual element of Mat's 'illness' makes some sense as it's got to be quite hard to portray without leaving the audience confused.

The Way of the Leaf ?

Perhaps both of them make their own entry into tel'aran'rhiod? One within a wolf dream and the other as a dreamwalker stumbling across some wise ones. 

 

 

It would be nice if in the show we see more communication in T'A'R. I know it was a theme of the books that they didn't communicate or they had miscommunication, but they could do some fun stuff with that.

I didn't see your response earlier...but I hope so! I'm looking forward to how each one of the EF5 (well, maybe not Mat!) accesses and pursues their T'A'R dreams.

What is this:

That looks like Leyla no? Perrin dreaming again?

My guess is an Aes Sedai that gets blasted by Logain.

It has been a long time (at least 5-7 years) since I have had the weekly anticipation for a shows episode to drop.   Hopefully it will drop at the same time as the first 3 and I can watch it tonight after work. ?

 

I have some ideas on what will happen in the episode, based off of discussions on YT, and the logical progression of EOTW, but regardless really excited to see how this episode plays out.

 

This is the first & only show I have gotten really invested in in years because so frequently whenever I tried it felt like the show got cancelled. Maybe not every one ?but around 50%.  So it obviously got so much easier to just wait for a full season & watch it then. Plus the rise of Netflix and other streaming services made it easier to watch a show all at once than the old 1 episode at a time.

 

I will say that if Amazon for any reason cancels WOT after S2 - which thankfully seems unlikely - it will take a long time (like 10 years type) before they can ever get any more of my business. ?

 

That does not mean I think the show is perfect - far from it - just that (as mentioned earlier) I have accepted the journey that this show will take me/us on .  Yesterday the Unravelling The Pattern said something that I agree with (but respect that many would not) - and that as a whole this tapestry the show is weaving is the Wheel of Time even if there are different weaves being woven occasionally.  I am not sure I could forgive Amazon if they take it away from me/us too soon.

 

Anyways time for Logain! 

 

I also think we'll see the first instance of

 

Spoiler

Nynaeve learning she has the potential to become Aes Sedai

 

and 

 

Spoiler

A fight with a Fade

 

and maybe just maybe

 

Spoiler

the first instance of Perrin Golden-Eyes

On the teaser, after we see Alanna channeling in the forest, there is a shot of bright Saidar been channeled. I dont think it belongs to the same scene, you can kinda see a kneeling figure in the center. I bet is Nynaeve healing with the power for the first time.

I think you're right... it looks like Nynaeve's silhouette:
