It's possible.  I only noticed it on her, and only because of the closeup of the side of her head during the Oath scene.  It could be something that's quite common.  But there's been no mention of what it is.

Someone's going to have to check all those scenes now and let us know ... lol ... I've cancelled my Amazon subscription.

Oh no, am I on the right path that she is suspicious?

There's a famous Team Jordan saying: RAFO (Read And Find Out) ?

It's almost like they're supposed to be braces of some kind due to an old injury.

Some Aes Sedai would have Healed that, surely.

2: The gold plating on her ear(s?). 

I'm reasonably sure I saw at least 1 other Aes Sedai with that? Or is old age befuddling my memory?

I love Hurin too! And Verin is ... interesting ?

If you like the Aes Sedai and/or Warders, you're welcome to join us at the White Tower & Warders Social Group. We're hard to explain ... lol ... but you can enjoy yourself there and make new friends.

Welcome to Dragonmount, @spectralballadeer!

Do you have any favourite characters or groups from the Books yet?

Welcome to Dragonmount, Eileen ?

Have you read the Books, or have you only watched the series?

I think, had I not bought all 6, I would have stopped at Eye of the World for many of the reasons this reviewer gives. Many of the people I have leant Eye of the World to have told me they won't be carrying on, some didn't make it half way through that book.

I actually got hooked right from the beginning, because I could relate to the characters. I come from a farm and farming community. The people seemed conservative, sober and hard-working just like the community in which I grew up. This could be why I hated the first episode of the TV series - they turned the Emonds Fielders into people I could NOT relate to. No farmer I've ever known hangs out in taverns getting drunk. Maybe it's a British thing? They do love their pub culture ... LoL

... wow ... that's a piece of work! Love it ?

Yes! We had the best chats on MSN. So much fun!

Welcome to DM, HungryWulf!

I'm guessing you're a fan of the Aes Sedai and the wolves?

Goodness me ... welcome back, Nenriel! I still have you listed at the White Tower ?

Welcome to Dragonmount, Grimmnar!

Do you have any favourite characters or groups of characters in the books?

@Elgee Is it strange, Mother…that you and the throne are both the Amrylin Seat?

Luckily I have that Split Personality thing going for me. Sometimes I numb my own arse.

If there really were such things as Warders and Aes Sedai, would you want to be a Warder?

Actually they are much at the same level, being both neo-latin languages, they share most of the grammar and they have many words which sounds similar as well,

Yes, like Spanish too, but at least Italian you pronounce like it's written. Unlike French. Or English ?

After the last episode and seeing how Stepin's deathrage was framed, treated more like a deep painful grief rather than a complete deranged state, I can actually see the show doing away with the entire Lan/Myrelle plot. More likely, I expect Lan will start riding for the Blight, only to be deterred by his immediate need to protect Nynaeve (and perhaps some show plots that get in his way). I can't see the show stripping away his agency the way the books did. He's already one of the most beloved characters by show watchers if you're paying attention and they will require his character to have more room to grow and change. Additionally, his grieving for Moiraine will be cathartic for the audience who will want to grieve her loss as well. 

I really hope they don't vanilla-down this whole story.

I just can't agree with what Myrelle did in the book to Lan. Is that legitimate way to help someone who grieves?

If it helps? She's done it with other Warders and clearly it did. Not all men are the same, just like not all women are the same. It is a fact of life that for some people (not going into statistics here, but I would say more men than women), sex is much more of a casual thing than a deep emotional bonding type thing.

She could be approaching it from that angle, because that is her belief system / past experience.

And Myrelle could feel what he feels through the bond, right? I'd rather see him break apart in front of Nynaeve. Besides, with how Lan/Moiraine bond being set up, I'm not sure a lot of people would agree with Myrelle bringing Lan to her bed. 

Even if it WASN'T working on Lan (and nothing says directly that it wasn't - he was still alive when Egwene found them and sent him to Nynaeve), she could perhaps feel that it wasn't, but not understand exactly why. She could even redouble her efforts, thinking she wasn't doing enough. And Lan would comply, because if one thinks of the Malkieri men's relationship with their Carneira, he would be "pre-programmed" to do so. Bonds reflect feelings, not thoughts (well they do in the Books, and before that whole Androl/Pevara rubbish).

One thing I immediately caught that surprised me is when Moraine recites the AES Sedai code, she doesn’t mention that the One Power can be used against shadow spawn and darkfriends.  

I thought I'd just zoned out on that part! So it really is missing?
