Plans changed after Rand rejected Lanfear.

Near perfect finale for a near perfect season. I wish Moiraine and/or Lanfear had died instead of Siuan. Not sure what they are going for there.

About colorism.. I think only PoC have any right to say if the show has an issue or not.

I've seen mentions that the Hero of the Horn theme played during Loial's final moments. Edit. I've not seen many mentions of the benefits of warder bond for both Aes Sedai and warder. Maybe that explains some of Alanna's survivability?

The episode was nearly perfect. I really can't think of any real negatives. - The battle had scale, death, surprising twists and a logical outcome with Perrin and Fain. I like that Alanna didn't just save everyone. - I'm not 100% sure that Loial is dead. I kinda hope he is so the moment with his book and his voice-over after don't go to waste. - Aram's arc evolving naturally. - Faile! Perrin! - Taim and Abel were missing for some reason. Maybe they'll help Perrin? - Fade(s) would have been a nice touch. - Daise went out like a legend. - Valda got a fitting end. Bloodthirsty S.O.B. Can't wait for the Finale.

Cauthon girls healing Alanna so easily was my only complaint in this episode. I give it a pass though, since our heroes always managed to create needed weaves pretty much every single time even if they had no training or never made them before. The show does need to stop giving our heroes mortal wounds in every episode and heal them immediately. It's getting a bit tiring. I almost wish Rand had done the marionette thingy with the girl's corpse. What we got was plenty enough. Well done.

No. Just no. Do you think that's what RJ would have wanted?

Remember S2E5? Rand and Moiraine came up with a plan that Rand pretends to love Lanfear so they can get information and she won't kill them.

Any examples? I know there are changes, but I bet they have purpose behind them and are not just thrown in just because.

I did a quick check and apparently covid restrictions hit after E4 was filmed. I'm not sure if CGI suffered for that episode also.

And this is why the "just do the books" is such a pointless argument. It's just not possible within time and budget.

In short

This episode was very very good. The glass columns were executed near perfectly. I wanted to see more of the Bore and Breaking but I'm sure that will happen later in this season or in future seasons.

Gaebril's subtle use of compulsion was very good

One criticism I have if I wanted to make any, is how Maksim and Ihvon failed to kill Liandrin. They could have chopped her head off immediately instead of stabbing. I know she "can't" die yet so it's not a big deal though. The episode was very good overall.

Rafe has said very early on that they were (paraphrasing) "interested in exploring polyamory instead of polygamy". There's been plenty of time to gird our loins.

Sorry, I meant that it's fine for me that Elayne and Avi also love each other and not just Rand and Min will likely be in love with just Rand.

So that Rand doesn't have a harem. Makes full sense.

Jackie Chan's movies

Ihvon might die in the battle between Alanna and Black Ajah 🤔

It's book accurate that good guys don't die

It's in YouTube now
