I had this revelation randomly during the 2nd (?) episode, but before the scene you would think would have sparked it (staying intentionally cryptic).
 

The death of Perrin’s wife will likely lead to the book scene of Ba’alzamon showing Rand his dead mom, Kari, and having her reveal she was a servant of shadow (or just that the DO has and is torturing her soul? I forget the specifics), be altered to that dream sequence being in Perrin’s dreams, using his dead wife as Ba’alzamon’s puppet. It works better for viewers, because it’s a character we’ve already seen on screen (rather than a dead mother we’ve never seen).

Then later there was the theory posited on the Dusty Wheel episode 1 discussion... Notice Layla’s stance when Perrin attacks her, and realize there are no more living trollocs in the forge at that point...

I think it's amusing simply because Mat is placed in an unfamiliar situation and doesn't know which way to jump.  The actual premise of someone being raped isn't funny at all.  But the fact that it was Mat, the James Bond of WOT, was funny.  Also, while Mat was a little freaked out by the situation, he wasn't upset.  He wasn't reacting like a rape victim, he was reacting like someone thrust into an unfamiliar situation.  If he'd been wrecked by what had happened, it would be different.

The reverse of that would be astonishing. A woman who was ignored when she said no, threatened with a knife, restrained and locked up... she would have had the recourse to approaching others for aid, but Mat, as a man, did not have that.

I found the scenes interesting, and gave an occasional chuckle at the predicament Mat had found himself in.  Is it rape? Yes. Is it wrong? Yes.  Is it amusing? Yes, due to the societal double-standard, and the complications it causes for Mat.  If that makes me evil, so be it.
