Hands down my favorite scene in TEotW is the prologue. It set the pace for a rapid read through book one ten or so years ago for me.
a few more epic scenes to me are:
Tale of Mannetheren
winternight Rand/Tams escape from the farm. (amazing foreshadowing)
The rat dream and waking to the cook telling Rand all the Rats were found with snapped backs.
The ways and Mashadar
Rands sickness after escaping the Inn and blowing the bejesus outa the badguys.
the darkfriend woman with the dagger who tries to kill matt
and mordeth. (when he turns into a shadow and shoots himself through a hole in the wall and the boys flee up the stairs with terror) Fantastic...
There is just so much awesome about book 1. I could go on for a day or two.
And i agree with a previous poster. R / M ratings only pls! How else are we going to see future Aes Sedai events involving blouses being dropped

Not to mention battles!!
