My theory on the truths:

"I'm Terrified" - to testament, allowed the old bond to slightly reforge and let her Soulcast

"I killed my father" to Pattern.  He was still new to her so he was still kind of "dumb" but his intelligence came at a much faster rate (than say Syl's did in WoK)

"I Killed my mother" also Pattern

"there is something wrong with all blades except mine" not a personal truth, closer to a Truthwatcher's, doesn't count.  Alternatively, it was accepting that pattern was her blade, and was a truth.  

"I killed my spren" not sure who this goes to yet

I wonder if Shallan can get a blade and such faster than a normal Lightweaver because of this being her second bond.  I think she breaks the mould.

I did have one thing that I listening to this episode made me realize (and my GF is reading Warbreaker) but I feel like Lightsong may be Ace. Other than someone he had a deep connection with (Calmseer) he has no interest in sex. And maybe I’m interpreting how different variants of ace present but it seems fitting to me

• Renarin can’t have seen someone dying to the Chasmfiend, because no one (important) did. If he had, he’d have already known the visions weren’t “set in stone” and not despaired as much in Oathbringer about Jasnah.
• At first I thought he bonded around the time he stopped wearing glasses. In WoR P260 is the last mention of him wearing them and P334 is the first without (also, that section starts out with him summoning his blade and freezing). But the first set of numbers happens on p80, which means Renarin had to have been bonded at that point. I don’t think he was bonded on tWoK (gut feeling here).

I definitely thought it was around where he stopped wearing glasses too. But if the countdown started beforehand, likely not. 

I have a question about the timeline.  The side carry is shown to happen before the chasmfiend hunt, though it occurs a full part after in TWOK.  How did the varying timelines match up?

I feel like some people on the cast, especially Chaos (no offense) get overly hung up on some of the wording that is used.  Like with the whole “back of the book”/Sleepless deal where they say “we may one day again have power” yada yada, I don’t think the “we” is actually indicative of anything.  “We” could easily just mean “the sapient species of Roshar”, instead of the Sleepless.  

For example, in America, we (see?) say that “we put a man on the moon”.  But out of everyone who says that, there is a near zero chance that the speaker had anything to do with it.  But its “we” as a whole.

That’s how I view the back of the book descriptions, and just some of the overly specific stuff that gets focused on.

I could be wrong though.  That’s just my read

Not gonna lie, even knowing that on Roshar a "chicken" means "bird", I always just imagine chickens with weird properties.

For example, a green chicken with a plume on its head.  The body structure is still a chicken in my mind

Moash explicitly saved Kaladin’s life in tWoK when Dunny gets killed with arrows and is lying on a bridge Kaladin is going after the body. Moash tackles him to the side right before a cavalry charged across the bridge trampling Dunny into paste.

Ch. 53 Dunny

“There’s nothing you could have done. I’m sorry.” 

I came here just to say the same thing.  The entire time I was listening in my car, I was yelling "AFTER DUNNY DIES!!!! THE BRIDGE!!! HE ALMOST GOT TRAMPLED!!!"

So thank you

Listening to the part about Edgedancers, I think their surges do go together if you focus on their healing aspect.  They are the battlefield surgeons.  Progression obviously allows them to heal folks, but abrasion helps them get to those in need quickly, as well as avoiding direct conflict if necessary, which goes with the "loving" attribute, as well as their namesake.

***edit:  Of course, as I listen on, this gets mentioned anyways and I no longer feel so clever
