Wow I enjoyed that. I feel like they more than made up for season 1. I really enjoyed most of season 2 and the last few episodes really got me excited for what's to come.

Fwiw, I read the books (1-8 I think) like 20+ years ago so have memory of little bits and pieces of the story and vague name recognition. Season 2 knocked it out of the park!

Me too! I was very satisfied with this whole season, and the finale really capped it off well.

The SFX budget was REALLY well used here. They've cut down the scale of the battles, but they've made the SFX look crazy good, and I'm fine with that trade.

Hoppers death was significantly better than in the book. That made me tear up, where in the book I never really cared that much when he died because you didn't get enough time with him.

Only plot I was frustrated with this episode was Nynaeve, I think she needed a bit more of a role here.
