I (finally) finished watching season 2 and have been thinking about Moiraine's arc, which, along with giving her and Lan more to do at this point in the story, also reveals some interesting nuances.

 

Moiraine's reaction is very Aes Sedai: meekly accept what has happened and move forward. This attitude is definitely a problem for the Aes Sedai in the books, and a big reason why their use of the OP has stagnated. By contrast, Lan's reaction is very Malkieri; keep fighting despite the (supposed) certainty of defeat.

 

On a related note, knotting weaves is a lost (or very rare) skill, which is a nice, non-flashy way to emphasize how much more skill/knowledge the FS have. Also, being shielded has a far stronger physical affect than in the books--almost like withdrawal symptoms.
