S1E4: "The Dragon Reborn" - w/Book Spoilers

[Keisha al'Benn]

That's a change in the show I don't mind, if there had to be more Aes Sedai in that chamber with Logain it would have been crowded and confusing to keep up with the conversations with Moiraine and the other Aes Sedai. It does make it 'cleaner' to watch in those scenes....if that makes sense?

I am fine with only two being in the room, but once a link is made, wouldn't it hold even if all the women included in the link weren't attending at all times? I get that it's easier this way, it just irks me because I have always liked how the Aes Sedai numbers and their increased linking abilities are kinda pressured by the men being stronger, even when the Black Tower is still a puny thing hardly to be reckoned with. It helps a bit that Logain is able to weary out the Aes Sedai shielding him, but only a bit. And it also helps that TV Logain at the time of his gentling is clearly weaker than Nynaeve, re: how he echoes the comment Moiraine makes about his power being a puny thing compared to the Dragon Reborn when she does that amazing healing thing.
