The Black Ajah also seemed to place huge faith in the strength of the oaths required to bind themselves to the Dark One. Verin herself was only actually able to betray them to an outsider after effectively killing herself. That is a big step for anyone especially considering that your soul is bound to being drawn to the Dark One after death. It also plays into the theme that Rand throws at the Dark One near the end that the Dark One was not able to inspire his followers to sacrifice for the cause and that all their endeavours basically boiled down to self-interest. So the choice of death or join may not have been considered particularly risky.

Do we have confirmation that she was full Aes Sedai when she was turned could she have been accepted?

Hands down the best episode in the entire series by a massive margin. The 40 minutes after Rand went into Rhuidean showed what the show could have been.

I had my original copy from basically time of release till about 18months ago and had to rebuy it and until then I never knew about ravens. Was not a fan of it.

Read it a long time ago thought it was pretty good kind of like a very lite version of WoT. Silk was probably my favourite character.

Never mind it is utter garbage. Finn and Fiennes are good but the story is absolutely insane, bizarre coincidences, people ranging from incompetent to brilliant too I worry how they would get their pants on in the morning. Holmes and Moriarties friendship develops in absolutely zero time to the point that I gave it serious thought that Moriarty was a Fight Club style figment of Holmes imagination.

I would argue that survivorship bias plays a large role in those results as well the show shed more than half its audience after season 1

The testing arches are almost certainly linked to tel'aran'rhiod as evidenced by Egwenes trip through them that was massively affected by the presence of the twisted dreaming ring or her skill as a dream walker or a combination of both.

In Baerlon Moiraine shared the room with Egwene and then Nynaeve while the boys and Thom shared.

I am pretty they were sharing a room which the innkeeper would be aware of. Having Rand and Min claiming to be married would be a way to more easily blend in as across most of randland unmarried men and woman sharing a room would be considered scandalous.

Can be a bit of a two edged sword though, some people who gain unlimited freedom from interference from editors or other creative control can lose themselves to excess. Take Zac Snyder, Patty Jenkins and Takia Wahtiti as examples that I can think of off the top of my head. The more uncontrolled they become the worse their work became (not that Snyder in particular was good to begin with).

Finn Playing Moriarty with Guy Ritchie production could be interesting.

She has a PoV outside Shadar Logoth immediately after Moiraine reveals that she can channel where she thinks that she can learn to channel and that she can therefore use the power against Moiraine. They have another confrontation where Moiraine directly states to Nynaeve that without training how will she challenge her (cannot remember the exact point early book 2 I think?). It is not till much later after Moiraine is thought dead that she relents on this. Not saying she does not eventually overcome this or that she would fall largely into being selfish but to claim that she is completely unmoored from self-interest is wrong and claiming that she is the only one or even the best example of this altruistic nature is even further from correct.

I am not sure this is accurate Nyneave originally largely wanted to learn to use the power so that she could use it against Moiraine and a large component of this was so that she could win Lan. That can hardly be called selfless. Siuan, Moiraine and Perrin are more altruistic than Nyneave IMO.

There is no shame in being captured by wetlanders as they do not follow Ji'e'toh and thus does not count in the same way as taking a Gai'shan. In the show I thought Avi took some responsibility for the death of another maiden and that was what she was ashamed by. Although that would have required some negligence on her part to fit into the books version of Ji'e'toh. If you are referring to Egwene spanking/strapping then remember that for her being exposed was something she had struggled with, she even thought afterwards when Rhurrac was mentioned that she wanted a different punishment if he wanted to collect.
