Family physician here, the stuff in Egwene's eyes looks like subconjunctival hemorrhage, which is just small popped blood vessels in the eye. They can occur due to small things like mild trauma or minor dehydration, or due to larger traumas like getting beat up or choked, as we saw with Egwene. So it doesn't necessarily mean something awful has happened, but it looks awful
As a long time fan of the books, I’m surprised and delighted by how much dimension the show is giving to the villains. I love to hate them. Their scenes are often even better than the scenes with just our heroes.
Grown ass men can feel emotions! But you're right, Donal's Mat is perfection, and if Maddie doesn't win an Emmy for this I'm gonna overturn some furniture.
@@TheAmyrlinsStudy Yeah seriously, I literally can't name a single series this year that had such jaw-dropping performances, so if she didn't win or even be considered I will be really fucken mad !!! 🫠
I can see now why Rafe has been saying his favourite scenes involved Egwene and Renna. What outstanding performances from both actors! That "Good girl" at the end almost ruined that phrase for me entirely, dammit.
Some have suggested Suroth didn't realize how good at treesinging Loial would be. It is kind of like the Ogier version of channeling and some are better than others.
I wonder if Moiraine was Shielded by Saidin, meaning only another male channeler can undo it? With Egwene, I've read the books. I knew what was coming but great googly moogly that was a rough watch. Happier they remembered to use light sources in this episode. ;)
The being shielded by saidin thing has been my theory too, and either Logain or Rand will undo it. But last night on TDW after show we were speculating that maybe she really is stilled and the healing stilling thing from the books would come in to play.
@TheAmyrlinsStudy If they did go that route, I'd be shocked. Because that feat happening so much earlier would throw a ton of future plot lines out of whack. I'm trying not to spoil for non-book readers seeing this, so I apologize for being vague. We have two episodes left. I hope Egwene's situation is resolved in that time because leaving her a prisoner for the 2-3 year likely gap between seasons would wreck me.
@TheAmyrlinsStudy including one set off by a certain Red Ajah Aes Sedai I really, really am looking forward to. Like, well, I'm foretelling her appearance.
Huge spoiler warning: . . . . Mat's eye was poked out! If they keep renewing this show, i think Snakes and Foxes will definitely be savoring a certain person's eyeball in exchange for letting people out of their weird crashed spaceship.

What an episode omg! I keep saying that oh this episode is my fave. No this one is...now this time I can confirm this one was definitely the best so far. wow! I feel so bad for Egwene!
@@athomenotavailable Mmm, I'm not sure about that. Egwene felt incredible pain that would have hurt her muscular-skeletal system like crazy, but the only time she sustained any injuries that would have caused the kind of damage you're thinking was when Renna snapped and beat her. I'm thinking she was in there for 4-5 days. It doesn't make much sense that they'd hurt their damane that much in such a short period of time; they're valuable assets, Egwene moreso than most.
I have a complaint to the writers. The scene when they try to open the collar. - They are looking for those who can channel the power, so we need to be more careful. And then - Let's channel now! Or - be careful, otherwise they will notice us. And right there - We need to use more power channeling. /facepalm According to the book, the damane collar had just a clever clasp. And anyone who knew the secret could open it. Which is what Mat did according to the book.
They needed more power from an additional person, the implication being that if the three of them each channeled very lightly, it was less likely to be detected. She also specifically said that they needed to do it when the damane weren't patrolling close enough to pick up those light threads of the power. Elayne and Nynaeve did this in the books when they used a trickle of the power to unlatch a damane's collar. The book and the show are not the same thing. They may have changed the way the a'dam works. Or it *is* a clever clasp and they just haven't found it yet. And if memory serves, the reason Mat knew how to open it was because the girls told him.
Much like your reaction I really didn't have words after the episode. It was amazingly awful if that makes any sense. I'm really enjoying the series as a long time reader, and so is my wife as a non-reader. (Makes talking about it challenging though, lol)
It's the same thing here! My husband hasn't read the books but he's loving the show and I constantly have to ask him whether he wants to be spoiled or not, or if I can explain certain things, etc. He's very patient with me. 😂
Egwene wow......, much good scenes, but some amateurish ones also i don't get why the don't can do everything as great as they do some things. Lan , Min , Mat a little Moraine is what annoys me at the moment.

That's exactly what I was thinking! I didn't know you could get them from dehydration though, that's interesting!
Glad to be a non book reader to enjoy this show, best on TV right now ❤❤
Ryma gives Nynaeve her Yellow ring. 😥
Easily the best episode of Fantasy TV since the heyday of Game of Thrones. Absolutely unreal.
Yellow sister, that's why she was able to fuck up their bodies.
Exactly! It's like she said "okay here's how you fix it so let's do the opposite *crunch*"
As a long time fan of the books, I’m surprised and delighted by how much dimension the show is giving to the villains. I love to hate them. Their scenes are often even better than the scenes with just our heroes.
Egwene and Mat stole the show this ep, mainly Egwene. Im a grown ass man and she had me tearin' up.

I was like oh hell no you did not just do that you bitch
It would’ve been more character if she said “good damane”. Since she isn’t a woman or a girl to the Seanchan.
Powerful scenes regardless.
@@LeahB31 To me it sounds just like something someone would say to a pet dog - good boy, good girl etc. So dehumanising :(
@@tarisedai9573 Yeah, that's how I interpreted it too. She's not a person but she still has a gender, like an animal.
@@TheAmyrlinsStudyyeah, I heard it the way I would say it to my dog.
OMG!!! The best episode to date! I cried, laughed, then cried again!
I was just shell-shocked by the end. What a fucking hour of TV, man.
I still liked ep 5 just a little more but it was very good.
Regardless if you're a book reader or not, these last 2 episodes have been great TV
Just watched it, oh god so emotional!!! What an episode, this show just keeps getting better.
This episode got me all up in the feels. That episode was... trauma.
Big, big same.
Some have suggested Suroth didn't realize how good at treesinging Loial would be. It is kind of like the Ogier version of channeling and some are better than others.
I loved that moment, it was so cool. Even though the circumstances under which it happened were awful.
your opening remarks 😆NONE OF US WERE READY !!!!
I KNOW OH MY GOD LIKE I KNEW BUT I WAS NOT READY
Knew it was coming and it still felt like a fresh wound.......
It's so much harder to watch the to read. And Maddie's performance was an absolute tour de force.
Absolutely fantastic as it has continued to be so far.
I wonder if Moiraine was Shielded by Saidin, meaning only another male channeler can undo it?
With Egwene, I've read the books. I knew what was coming but great googly moogly that was a rough watch.
Happier they remembered to use light sources in this episode. ;)

@@Keyofone yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Like big plot lines.
@TheAmyrlinsStudy including one set off by a certain Red Ajah Aes Sedai I really, really am looking forward to. Like, well, I'm foretelling her appearance.
"I guess just have a good long think." Accurate!!!
As long as they keep Renna's book fate, I can live with it. Nothing Renna does to Egwene can match what happens to her.
Huge spoiler warning:

Mat's eye was poked out! If they keep renewing this show, i think Snakes and Foxes will definitely be savoring a certain person's eyeball in exchange for letting people out of their weird crashed spaceship.
Ommmmmggggg. Nothing good has happened this season, I don’t know if I can take anymore. This wrecked me.
Graendal would approve of banging at the temple- this dream doesn't Benefit ishamael this is probably all lanfear's work
Something that has been confirmed is only some men and women can see people with the spark explaining why moiraine wasn't sure nynaeve could chanelle because it's a talent now
Rand being told to seize it not surrender is perfect
Migian came here as we expected- and the layerong of praise and degradation to break her taking any happiness and treating her like a defective object not a person
Need more mat
The suane stuff from the start of book 2 was moved here it's brilliant
Nyneave read the adom she did the thing where in the books she can read them through touch just it's with the power now which is better in a visual medium
Ryma is a force the greens may be the battle ajah but the yellow ajah is the ajah to fear- that was amazing and she figured out how to get nynaeve to channel coherently in minutes
I wish ryma had burnt her self out that would have been better then what they'd do... or maybe she'll get busted out with egwene in the show (I'm praying)
Ryma is straight outta the books, though.
Oh man, what an episode
It was glorious and terrible all at once.
What an episode omg! I keep saying that oh this episode is my fave. No this one is...now this time I can confirm this one was definitely the best so far. wow! I feel so bad for Egwene!
I thought Egwene was there for a week or two. Until I realized she hadn't drunk anything until she could touch the pitcher.
Probably around 2 days, any longer, Renna would need to bring a healer to fix the beginnings of brain and organ failure
@@athomenotavailable Mmm, I'm not sure about that. Egwene felt incredible pain that would have hurt her muscular-skeletal system like crazy, but the only time she sustained any injuries that would have caused the kind of damage you're thinking was when Renna snapped and beat her. I'm thinking she was in there for 4-5 days. It doesn't make much sense that they'd hurt their damane that much in such a short period of time; they're valuable assets, Egwene moreso than most.
@@TheAmyrlinsStudy If she wasn't able to drink water for more than 2-3 days they would have to bring a healer to stop her organs from failing.
@@trevorlong8659 Which they may have done. Some people can also go up to a week. 🤷🏻♀️
@@trevorlong8659
While fasting, in the Amazon jungle, I've gone up to 5 days without water. It can definitely be done.
This episode was so good for being so bad. I had chills at the end. It reminded me soo much of the books
Ok, I'm almost caught up with you now. Will watch ep 7 after this and be back for your new one soon.
Man, Eggy had it hard
The way they captured the techniques one would use to break a person was absolutely terrifying.
This was an emotional workout for sure.
Surath didn’t call Loial an “it” she was referring to the tree that grew.
Hmm... I'll have to zoom in on that when I re-watch this weekend.
New to the channel but you dropped enough f-bombs to warrant a watch of your season 1 reactions 1st. BRB lol
😂😂😂
I have had to go to work :( so will watch the episode and all the reviews tonight, the feedback i am seeing is this was a banger though!
Absolutely!
I have a complaint to the writers. The scene when they try to open the collar.
- They are looking for those who can channel the power, so we need to be more careful.

Awful. Painful. Terrible. But so so good. The cast is awesome. We're blessed.
I am shook by that. What an episode.
Seriously. If they're gonna do us like this for the rest of the season I might not make it through
i love your reactions! Keep going!
Okay!
I subscribed because of your laugh
❤️❤️❤️

Little advice: your mic is too high and barely can here dialogues of the series
Yeah, the sound was fucked up on this one and I didn't realize until I started editing.
Egwene wow......, much good scenes, but some amateurish ones also i don't get why the don't can do everything as great as they do some things. Lan , Min , Mat a little Moraine is what annoys me at the moment.
"Dilettante" doesn't make sense in this context. And I don't understand the rest of what you're trying to say.
dont just spit spoilers for non-book readers just in between your reactions pls :(
I never said I was spoiler free, and I can't guarantee that something won't slip through. Watch at your own risk.
"Stay hydrated" has an extra meaning after this episode!🏜
Right??
I think Suroth was just insecure about getting upstaged at her own party, the focus of attention needs to be on her and not her pet
Yeah, that seems to track.
