We'll probably find out Liandrin released her shield or weakened it on purpose, or so I hope. Liked the episode a lot, definitely my favourite one so far and I had goosebumps throughout, so am just nitpicking a bit. I felt when Kerene died Stepin should've gone into the berserk frenzy and died. I'd love to see more Warders fighting other soldiers to show that they are in another class and can win against many on their own, not just with Aes Sedai blowing things up. Really liked Liandrin and Alanna too, hope we see more of them.
I liked how they made Saidin have the taint, will be interesting to see it later down the road or at least I'm assuming the black colours are the taint, but I guess it could just be to differentiate the two sides more. What I'd really like to see and had hoped to see a bit of here, was more fastpaced channeling, it all seems so slow, stand around for a while and wait for your silver magic to swirl around you. Had hoped for something almost akin to how they did some of the fight scenes between Wizards in harry potter with a lot of flinging spells at each other. I guess it might pick up when there are more MCs/Forsaken etc. fights going around and when the audience has gotten more used to channeling, can't have enough screen time to show them all glaring at each other for five minutes
But definitely feels like it is picking up, now that they've introduced the characters and don't have to rely on tooooo much exposition.
