I'll write up the rest of my thoughts later, but super quick:
Moiraine thinks she can permanently kill Lanfear by using the One Power sword Lan owns. But she previously used Tam's OP sword to slit Lanfear's throat the first time, and obviously it did nothing. So either the show has retconned that rule or Moiraine was just doing the only play she had, which was try really really hard to kill Lanfear. I suppose even if she takes off Lanfear's head, it's gonna be hard to come back from that.
The "bond" moment that Siuan and Moiraine had was Moiraine being freed of the oath she took on the oath rod to obey Siuan. That's how she knew she died.
The Finn was so wonderful. I would hate to be the person to have to take this alien enigmatic bizarre creature that even I don't have perfectly formed in my head as to what they look like and put a real person in a suit and film it. If they'd done full CGI it would have been cheesy, but a real person in costume? Hard. They totally should have hired Del Toro! I'm just relieved they did it at all. That's a huge risk for mainstream viewers who are like the Game of Thrones/ROP fan because Finn are hard core nerddom. Loved its teeth and eyes though!! I can't wait to see what manflesh thinks of it. Its outfit was super cool too. The vocal "DONE" was sweet.
Okay, full response later when I can process everything I saw. I'm so sad now though that it's all over.
