Hate having to wait a week.On a second run through I’m finding it far not enjoyable. The cool bits seem cooler, the annoyances less jarring.Particularly good moments so far on the re-run- The winternight battle and the arrival of the Trollocs was really cool. Including the way Moiraine channelled.- The Tuatha‘a an are done really well. Both talking about the way of the leaf and asking if Perrin was happier since he picked up his axe - poignant considering how his wife died. To the bravery of them trying to delay the whitecloaks for Perrin and Egwene to get away.- I’m liking the whitecloaks more. Valda really is a prick - and making Egwene channel to save Perrin or die, or watch Perrin die is actually quite clever (and cruel). Knowing Egwene’s character she was always going to channel. - The section with Logain in episode 4 and the way the lore around linking, shielding, the male source, madness etc is delivered is great. Along with the warder bond. Very powerful episode. Liandrin stilling Logain is also done very well.In short. It has strong re-watch potential and I think it’s building. All the right stuff, just not in the order or vehicle I expected. Someone mentioned cognitive dissonance. That’s greatly reduced on a second watch.</blockquote>
