This episode had some really great moments and some really silly moments. I realize that I really should stop thinking about the books at this point. Especially cause they put so much effort in Stepin's story. I thought it was a really strong performance by king Harald and Manbutt-Lan and I've realized I only didn't enjoy it as much as I could have, because it is a total fresh story for this series.
Valda's scenes were mostly sick but the moment when egwene and perrin escape seemed almost laughably bad. The Tinkers lining up like some Greenpeace hippies was a nice touch. Rand saying he feels like he remembered the mountain was totally an unnecessary line for me as a book reader but for new viewers I think it could be a nice addition, still could have maybe done with a facial expression that shows remembrance. Oh well..
Then there is Loial, super well done! Everything about him seemed perfect, his looks, his lines, his eagerness. The only thing that didn't make sense in my mind was the speed at which he spoke, I'd always imagined him super calm and relaxed. But again this is a book reader nitpicking at details.
I'm going to have to watch the episode again now BYE.
