So Much Linen.

I was wavering about this show for a long time but now I am All In.

The world building feels so intricate and alive.

The Tower politics were really interesting! But, uh....I guess we're not going to get more of those for a while.

I absolutely loved how well and effectively they established the relationship between Moraine and Siuan, and how gut wrenching their separation is at the end of the episode. Rosamund Pike is just so good in that role. For me, every episode of this show is better than the last.

This made me wonder if the politicing in the books, which I remember being interminable, would improve on re-reading as an adult. Not enough to crack them open though.

There was a very fun moment when they were introducing "the most powerful channeler in a thousand years" where egwene did a little bashful smile and got ready to step forward before realizing it was actually nynaeve.
She was so proud that she'd managed to channel, and had zero frame of reference! I know the feeling, and it's a rough ride.

Ahaha god that was awful (in a great way). Poor Egwene.
