How do 4 untrained channelers and one woman who flunked out of Tower school destroy an entire army of Trollocs but 5 full AS and their warders struggle to hold off an army of Logain's followers in Episode 4?
Yeah. Amalisa burned a few out but they were untrained at holding the power. You'd think that 5 full sisters linked could have defeated Logain's motley army without issue. From the ending od episode 3, it was clear where they camped was one with a well defended entrance with high vantage point. A vigilant guard, a defended perimeter and an effective response plan would have kept their camp safe from attack from forces any competent commander would know was coming.
The AS could have easily set up their own little Dumai's Wells like Amalisa did.
It feels like channeling is magical and follows no rules except whatever the plot dictates. Hence Egwene suddenly healing Nynaeve from the brink of death when no indication is given she has that talent (and in the books Egwene was training to be wisdom and even when power trained, could maybe handle a few bruises.)
Felt very deus ex machina and plot driven.

We're like the wind,
we blows both ways."
