Thanks for creating the post :-)

This was a very Perrin-centric episode. I have to admit, even in the books his story arch never really catched on to me. Still, there were some great moments in this episode as well.

Likes:

• The villagers' song. I love that we get a catchy song in every episode now. (Edit: Its not new but the atmosphere was perfect)
• In general, how they handled the fight scenes as well as the training of the villagers.
• Faile: So much better than the books. Same with her relationship with Perrin.
• Really glad they got rid of Dain Bornhold, who thought Perrin was a dark friend. Never made much sense, and everything could still happen as known if he just hates him because of his father.
• Bain and Chiad. Their style, their behavior, their comments, everything. Together they are my secret favorites this season.
• The two river set is still great and the landscape shots fit perfectly into how I imagined the area years ago.

Dislikes:

• Would have liked to see more Trollocs, less dark friends in the battles.
• The death of Loial. I just don't see a reason for him not to be in the later seasons. Of course, it could be another Fake death, but I would dislike that even more. The high numbers if this is still one of my top criticisms of the show.
