Sanderson recently said that Lan and Galad are better fighters than Gawyn, he's just been lucky lately. I hope this makes you feel better now. ;)

I'm even more miffed by Gaywn's sudden powerup than MO is and i'll settle for nothing less than a logical explanation, like he's ta'arven (sp?) for the moment or he picked up a magic sword or something, its the the thing i'm looking forward to the most in ToM. "Lucky Lately" just doesn't cut it.

Because Galad, Lan, and Gawyn have obviously always been the "origins" of Galahad, Lancelot, and Gwayne

Did Egwene shag him?

I have a feeling the lot of them are Trolloc bait in the last book.

From parts of the series Edward the Great hasn't read

Egwene and Gawyn have had lots of dreamworld sex. There's no indication whether any real-world sex has occurred, though she has stated her intent that "She would bond him as her Warder one day, somehow, and she would marry him, and make love to him until he cried for mercy." and the first part of that has happened, and the second part agreed to.

The dreamsex was real for Egwene, and I think she made it real enough for him.

Hard to be a respected commanding officer to a group of young men when you wake up covered in fucking jizz.

Maybe that's why Sanderson decided to make him so good, to explain why they still tolerated this guy.
