Fishy business. (Again, no direct book spoilers, but lots of things that might be foreshadowy.)
Little Siuan untangling the nets! The Pattern is a weave, fish nets are woven together...there's a metaphor here somewhere.
"Daughter of the river" fits well with the "surrender to the river" motif of womanhood in the Two Rivers. "Clever as a pike" is obviously a coincidence, but tell us how you feel about Pikes, Siuan ;)
The first line we get from adult Siuan is "why is Logain in chains, he's gentled, he can't hurt anybody like this."
Leane's banging her staff to be like "order in the court" is the inside counterpart to Lan's hyah! kicking his horse as their most frequent "line."
Basel Gill!
"I saw that darkness moving over you" is that...normal? Like, can everyone see the weaves?
"I suggest you start using some" get wrecked
Maigan is an interesting character. Butch vibes. Is she up to something?
Ships disappearing off the west coast, oh no
The Blues sent Taren Ferry money to make up for the boat that Moiraine drowned :(
"I have people watching for their arrival, but I have it on good authority that they're alive" very Aes Sedai answer.
Lan probably thinks Moiraine is masking the bond to give him some private time with Nynaeve but really she just wants private time with Siuan
And the mysterious portrait is just a portal to Siuan's room :D
Even some obscure prophecies are considering the "what if the Dragon this time is really all five of them with their powers combined" theory, heh! (One of the things I've seen going around is show-only watchers' theories about "who do you think it is" and "the dragon is all of us by the power of friendship!" is an occasional suggestion.)
Siuan and Moiraine both wear red pajamas when they're off the clock. Like, they have to be neutral/Ajah representatives with their color schemes on official business, but in bed, it's whatever. Yay Tower unity! ;)
"one day we will, in this life or the next" d'awwww.
Liandrin is having secret meetings with a man the Red Ajah would not like to know about?? Hahaha what. Is it Mazrim Taim or somebody like that??
Egwene wondering "how does the Amyrlin Seat refer to both the woman and the throne itself?" When the answer is kind of like "the church isn't a building, it's the people"--the title is important, but if you're a good leader and lead with authority you're the true titleholder even if you don't get to sit on the fancy chair. Immediately cut to Nynaeve: "if you can't lead the world from a room made of wood and dirt, are you really a leader?"
Moiraine: "Siuan Sanche only waits for one woman...and it's not you." WINK WINK.
Egwene and Nynaeve side-eying each other like "are you gonna bow" "no"
Siuan: "You are the most powerful channeler we've seen in a thousand years!" Egwene :D Siuan: "...Nyneave." I've only seen a few episodes of Game of Thrones but I know they pulled this with Sansa, Arya, and Petyr!
Here's the shot from the trailers of Moiraine looking out the window, in a bleaker context than that might have indicated.
Yikes, the Oath Rod, this is escalating seriously.
"the Amyrlin" can rescind the exile, not necessarily Siuan by name...
but Moiraine just rolls with it and turns it into a marriage ceremony, "I'm going to honor and obey Siuan in this and everything else" yeah I bet!
Perrin: "at least I wasn't stupid enough to steal an evil dagger" just bros being bros!
"the wheel weaves as the wheel wills" ShE sAiD thE ThING
Egwene is first to follow into the Ways.
Also, in the time between this episode dropped Thursday night (my time) and I watched it Saturday morning, I think about seven people browsed the Siuan/Moiraine tag, found one of my fics, and left kudos <3 hope you don't mind the book spoilers!
