Definitely possible. I'm coming back up to that scene in my reading now. Will have to keep an eye out.

You'll note I started my thought by saying I thought of the long gap as a disadvantage. But as I'm not a media person I was wondering if I might be overlooking possible advantages. Media is very different from when I was young and continues to evolve. Just wondering what others thought. You stated that very few people will re-watch multiple seasons of a show to catch-up/refresh, but I'm not so sure. Very many people on this site have re-read the book series multiple times every time a new book was released. That takes a lot more time and effort. Not saying you're wrong just that people are different. Some people have no problem taking 2 or 3 days to watch 8 hours of TV - especially if it is something they really enjoy.

I thought of the gap between seasons as a disadvantage, but I'm wondering if there may be a benefit in the world of streaming. People may have forgotten much of the detail for WoT between seasons - not a problem, re-watch S1 and S2 in the weeks or months leading up to the drop of S3. Amazon boosts their watch numbers as folks prep for the new season. Not much difference between what many of us did with the books - re-reading all the previous books whenever a new one was published. But I think there is a bigger benefit to the streaming company as they still own the show. There is only one place to see it. Amazon controls advertising (if present) and folks are more likely to check out their other offerings due to convenience. Publishers give that up as we own the books and can re-consume them at will.
