I cannot believe I just watched my mothers divorce. And that Lanfear was the divorce attorney.

I was rewatching wot and I can't help but imagine how Nynaeve's ceremony would have gone compared with Egwene...

The show consistently establishing that Ishamael Wants To Die™️:

Some ppl during the finale: umm??? How did rand kill him with just a sword? Why didn’t Ishamael fight back??? That’s so stupid! He’s a Forsaken™️ like, he wants to kill the dragon, Rand should’ve had to use the One Power

The writers: *slams head through wall*

Thinking about that one time Amazon paid a lot of online articles to promote the wot show season 1 and every single one had the same paragraph about Moiraine being the protagonist searching for The Dragon yada yada, who's the Dragon? 👀 And 1 of them called the world Randland (after naming the whole cast and who they played, including of course Josha playing Rand 🤭)

Where are my Jacob Anderson and Sam Reid narrated audiobooks AMC??? Do what Amazon does and throw a bunch of money at them right now.

Egwene Al' Vere

After being freed from the a'dam, I imagine her using the one power and channeling her absolute rage and fury. Season 2 was so rough on her, and it was so satisfying to see her freed, and even after being put through it all, she held her own against Ishamael.

we all agree that now that Moiraine has her powers back she should immediately start balefiring nonstop

So if there's anything that's become more apparent to me this season, it's that the show needs at least 10 episodes/season. Screw "new industry standards/bingeability metrics", Wheel of Time would genuinely be better if the writers were able to just give us more of this world, delve deeper into the story, and give the characters time to breathe.

Perhaps the 8 episode model works for some shows (especially non-adapted works like Stranger Things for instance), but for an IP that's a 14-book-long epic being adapted to 8 seasons of 8 episodes...serious squashing has to be done. Though I enjoy the show, I'm still really feeling the effects of that squashing. Characters (such as Rand above) literally don't have enough time in-universe or from the viewer's perspective to train. Hell, when is Rand going to even have the time to train with Lan this season? Maybe for one scene next episode? (blah blah book spoilers...but Rand is going to need either sword or channeling skills a few times in upcoming episodes both of which he has had not nearly enough training in)

Companies like Amazon don't really care that not every show will work under the same model. They just care about $$$--whatever costs the least and earns them the most money. It's just sad to that this is what's holding back the show. :(
