WOT on Prime Episode 8 - SPOILERS

[Thalia]

Alanna pretty much dealt with the army on her own without needing to link. She even sends the other Aes Sedai to the cave and Logain AND still manages to arrive in time to help gentle him. We see that battle through Nynaeve's eyes which is perhaps why it looks so frantic.

Kerene's wards warned them. They say more than once before the attack that they believed Logain's army had run home. Why they believed that is unclear; presumably arrogance.

Amalisa wasn't strong enough to become Aes Sedai, and was expecting to link with the power of similar women (non Aes Sedai and therefore weak). She was vastly unprepared for the power of two of the strongest channelers the Tower has ever seen. The amount we see her wield is entirely down to Nynaeve and Egwene. I'm not sure you can call what she did nuanced. She lost control and killed two women and herself. Lore change aside (and I suppose you could argue she didn't know how to link safely) it illustrated the point excellently.

Egwene's healing I disliked. I'd like to see them explain that but not sure they will. Other than that it makes sense though, and like it's following internal rules even if some of them vary from book rules.
