What was the thing in the Sanderson books about how the Forsaken aren't the most dangerous or powerful but just the most selfish egotistical jerks? Like there were more effective AoL dark folks who were happy to quietly tear down civilization without making it all about them.

Verin saying she analyzed the forsaken and decided they have to have been chosen for selfishness, right before she died

maybe instead of Liandrin bullying/mind controlling her, she's just instead going to be black ajah and initiate those same events herself (this could also keep the mystery of whether Liandrin is actually capital e Evil alive longer in the show)

you're not wrong about that, it's a different scene -- she's wearing a very distinctive white dress in the promo stills and it looks like the lady channeling to light the lamp (that we only see from the back) is wearing it

I think it's less that she wants to be loved by Lews Therin and more that she wants to be loved by the most important man in the universe. As part of a broader trend to be/possess the most, the best, the greatest. It's all ego with her.

Also the other forsaken don't have any room to complain really.

We have a guy who was a bit shorter than LTT, and that's why he turned. Or the lady who was denied tenure. Or greandal who's entire reason for turning to the shadow was "everyone sucks and can't be on my level so gently caress it"

Asmodean had the best reason to turn to the shadow 'I want to jam forever and not die'. And also bein real mad at music critics.

Yea, but they survived because they were called to Shayol Ghul because they were the highest of them all. The rest all turned on eachother with their armies.

Not necessarily. Even in the books Moiraine and Siuan reunite at Rand's big conference at Merrilor. It may be the top of season eight, but they do get together again. And that's assuming they don't adjust things to allow them to meet again after Fal Dara, since you're right, they'd be fools not to use that chemistry more than the books did.
