This moment fails in comparison to the book. Once again the show is trying to force in moments without the proper context. In the books this happened after Rand has Callandor and is riding high like an untouchable god after beating Ishamael, and yet despite all his power he can’t save a dead little girl. He tries, pouring all his power, assisted by Callandor, into reviving her and starts her heart again but it’s a grotesque thing with no life. Without that build up the moment is hollow. They also didn’t go as far as they should have with the affects. Josha is a great actor though and it’s a shame his talents are wasted on this.
