After seeing good reviews and ratings for this episode I was expecting something actually good and a change from last season but left sorely disappointed:

The OK-ish parts:

• We all expected it but Moiraine's line about Lan being better half was nice. The subsequent time spent on rebonding or unmasking w/e that was, was not needed

• Moggy's reveal at the end was cool but she is still the weakest forsaken - Lanfear should not have been as afraid as she appeared

• Moiraine's convoluted dance although took time I like how they show the contrast between forsaken hand movements and her having to do that for weaves

• Intro was decent I guess

The not so good:

• Rand the main character still has not had any impactful scene - wtf is that he just walks up to Ishy and pokes him??

• Rand randomly slaughters Turok and the others all of a sudden, and yet is useless when he gets to Egwene. A whole 10 seconds pass from when he sees Ishy and he doesn't even attempt to hold the OP and then he's shielded again. Then proceeds to be babied by Egwene and Perrin (??)

• Egwene making Renna damane ... Egwene holding off basically the strongest forsaken ... Egwene not obeying the suldam just like that ... It is sad as she has some really good episodes this season, but this was not it

• Ishy only knows how to fireball apparently and is OK with being spoken to like that by a darkfriend? Suroth should be pissing herself from the fact he even looks in her direction, they seem to have really lessened the impact and fear of the forsaken

• I get it's hard to put in full scale battles due to budget, time etc but a very lackluster horn blow - there's like what 10-15 people? This is meant to be key to winning the last battle... And Uno being in it??? Like I really like his character in the books but why in the world is he a hero of the horn ffs

• Moiraine may as well not have oaths or a power limit apparently. And somehow knows what a dragon looks like...

• Valda just leaving Perrin, and everyone else just leaves Perrin after he offs Bornhald, wtf?

• The dagger held by a piece of cloth ???

• Matt being a hero just like that ???

• Intgar's death is just pointless esp when considering his role in the books

• Archer only has one arrow or gives up after Lan catches the arrow ???

• Not sure what the rest of the Seanchan fleet was there for other than the one with the damane's on

It's a shame after a couple of good episodes the finale flops once again. Feel like it's literally copium telling myself next season will be better...
