Yeah, I like the fact that you see how big the world is from the get go. Hearing about it, about the Aiel war or about the dangers of male channelers is one thing. But as was said, SEEING the danger through Logain only makes Rand and the fear of him channeling that Matt and Perin (and Egwene and Nynaeve and the others had) when they found out, all the more clear. It makes WHY Rand hid from it, tried to stop, tried to pretend it wasnt true more visceral. TBH, just the words "go mad and kill everyone" are just words. You hear them and acknowledge them...but it isnt a gut punch and you wonder if its exaggerated. Similar to the fear of the foresaken. Graendal is coming in your sleep! Just words and we arent hearing them as children.
Seeing the danger of Logain shows WHY male channelers are so feared. They make the REd ajah more clearly necessary.
Similarly, the whitecloaks really look like the dangerous zealots they were meant to. The series mostly showed them as all bark (all the stuff they did in the two rivers was off screen as well.). This sets them up as people to fear.
One idea floated is that it could be Tam fighting Janduin (Rafe said an Aiel no one expected would be shown in season one). That removes his being killed by Lord Luc, but that was more of a throwaway and if Luc is not in this (or is not prominent) then Janduin can die that way. oThers have said that the Aiel looks smaller and could be pregnant Tigraine/Shaiel. An interesting idea if Tam kills her or she goes into labor fighting him.
New spring was great and I love tht there are parts of it in the story. Lan feeling Moiraines pain (in the funerial white, per rafes comments at IGN) is a great way of showing the way the warder bond works.
Im gonna check out those interviews. I admit I am excited now.
