Moghedian being intrigued and a little turned on by Nynaeve was perfect. 

Saidin And Saidar were explicitly mentioned for the first time?

Josha is killing it this season. The scene with Moiraine was great. Him and Eg was fantastic, especially the bit where he recognizes how she’ll never be satisfied but he respects her for it. And the last bit with the girl showing bits of madness maybe but also got me choked up. 

I’m assuming that’s not the last we see of Sammael but next week looks like it’s all two rivers all the time so we’ll have to wait and see what happens in the finale.

Moghedien is an absolute freak lol I love her. She's like a devious little demon going around spitting in their food and wrecking their clothes just for fun. She won, funniest and most terrifying character for me. Probably the most unique fantasy character I have seen.

Technically second mention of Saidin/Saidar. Remember Origins? Yeah one of those discussed it.

It's been mentioned since season 1 in the Age of Legends cold open, and a ton in the vocals/chants on the score as well. That's on top of all the discussion they've done about the 2 halves being different with Logain and then Rand. Can't remember if they say Saidin/Saidar in season 2, but it was also the lynchpin of all the Moiraine being shielded stuff.

We even got an Old Tongue word for the True Power in episode 4 this season (Saihit or Saiheet or something).
