What was the point of that creepy "let's strip Egwene naked and give her a sponge bath" scene? Does she suddenly need to be ritually cleansed before being burned at the stake? The Yellow sister we saw getting torched was still in her ajah colors. She was clean enough to burn?

Speaking of which, the idea that Valda could have executed seven full Sisters is beyond stupid. All seven were dimwitted enough to get their hands cut off before trying to defend themselves? Or will the show continue to perpetuate the idiotic concept that an Aes Sedai needs a 30-40 second full windup before she can unleash her saidar fastball? Skilled channelers in the books can instantly defend themselves against One Power attacks while simultaneously weaving up a few attacks of their own.

But no let's not portray the Children as a skilled military organization that started out good but has been corrupted by zealotry, as Cannoli already wrote. Let's make them uber-evil and far better at killing Aes Sedai. Meanwhile let's introduce superfluous character arcs and invented religious rituals while cutting out relevant characters and locations.
