Makes sense now!

Thanks. I'll have to pay more attention to that part next time. That's one of the parts I kind of gloss over because it doesn't interest me as much as it used to.

I've had to change my mind about the way they wrote some things in previous seasons because I've seen how they paid off this season. I'm thinking this will be the first of the many times we'll see Mat's luck play out. That's why I wish he had said something like "My luck is in today" so that viewers can start connecting the dots.

I don't remember where it says that. I'm not questioning you. I know he hates the DO because of the way the DO tortured him, but I just don't remember this specifically.

I think people mean they don't mind that random bit of luck with the bracelet because they know where it's headed based on the books.

I don't think they're making it quite clear enough that his t'averen nature is primarily his luck. Not that I expect some exposition about it, but if he would just start making references to it, like "Well, my luck is in today" when something random goes his way.

What about the ravens that had been keeping an eye on Emond's Field for years? And Fain. That trollocs attack on Winter's Night was not random.

I didn't think it's really different from him entering the boys' dreams earlier in the show. He did that in the books, too.

I was surprised Daniel liked it as much as he did, simply because I have always been right on par with Daniel, going all the way back to season one, but he rated this episode higher than I did. I am really enjoying the way he's doing reaction videos instead of reviews this season. It's a lot more fun. Especially when he kept getting hyped for Mat's duel with G&G and then he'd be bummed because he didn't get it. I just laughed and thought, "Just wait 😄"

I wasn't questioning the plausibility of such an action. I know enough of history to know this bind of things happened IRL. I was arguing that it paints Morgase as an amoral ruler.

He's not initially shown as doing anything evil, but he is going to murder Moiraine and even his mother if she gets in the way. I think most people consider that evil. His was just well disguised.

It was obvious the bracelet is significant, but I couldn't read any inscription. What did it say?

I have not seen this mentioned anywhere else, and I don't understand what DOOL moment you're referring to. Could you please elaborate?

How else do you think Siuan could have handled it, given her goal was to keep Egwene in the Tower because she didn't want to lose such a powerful channeler? I'm just curious. It's established in S2 that novices can't just leave the Tower whenever they want. Furthermore, Siuan was very direct in her statement to Elayne that she expected to see her back in novice white the next day. There is absolutely no reason to assume she didn't expect the same of Egwene. (I can't remember what she wanted to talk to Nyaneave and Egwene about privately in that scene.) Egwene knew what was expected of her once she passed the Accepted test, which is the same thing that is expected of all Accepted. Siuan doesn't have to say, "You are not permitted to leave" for Egwene's behavior to amount to defiance.

Yes, I know she did. And I can kind of understand your line of thinking, but I can't agree with it because everyone in the House is part of that House, so the implication is they are all forgiven. It's semantics, and very underhanded. Cutting deals with the rest of the members of the House doesn't make it less dishonest. I can accept a ruthless Morgase, like punishing people when it is necessary for the stability of the kingdom when she would rather show mercy, but I can't accept a dishonest Morgase.
