For the TV show....which storylines should be sacrified? Jeordam Send a noteboard - 24/06/2019 05:49:50 PM

I was going to just start a new sub-thread in the Moiraine Casting one, but I thought that we could use another line item topic to discuss on the main board....so I started this.

What story lines do you think should be shortened/abbreviated and what story lines should be cut completely?

Here are my thoughts...

Shortened: Faile being taken prisoner by the Shaido, Internal Black Tower power grab

Cut Completely: Elayne securing the Lion Throne, Anything to do with Luca and the Circus, Country/Kingdom internal political struggles, Boarderland Rulers leaving the north, The Ogier

I'm sure there's more...it has been years since I've read wot. Much of the shortened or cut story lines can be accomplished off screen or hinted at without devoting major resources.

Thoughts?

Very good idea AgentApple - 27/06/2019 11:54:32 AM 954 Views
That... Would basically doom the show right from the get go. The OP is a BIG part of WoT's identity. Dunstan - 27/06/2019 06:29:33 PM 984 Views
Unlike aSoI&F, WoT really hinges on its magic system AgentApple - 27/06/2019 11:53:49 AM 1035 Views
Ever saw Dr. Strange? fionwe1987 - 28/06/2019 01:51:53 AM 998 Views
That's a very good point Cannoli - 06/07/2019 05:06:38 AM 942 Views
If they follow some of the other recent books to fantasy it may a lot of them random thoughts - 25/06/2019 02:27:25 PM 1029 Views
I hoped the whole show would just be called "Falcon in the Snow". Narg - 26/06/2019 12:15:57 AM 952 Views

What do we know about the TV series? Timing, length, storylines..... Anonymous2000 - 26/06/2019 02:36:40 AM 935 Views
Not many at first. Or maybe the whole thing. Cannoli - 26/06/2019 01:23:46 PM 1120 Views
There is no way Amazon will commit to 10 or more seasons Tom - 26/06/2019 03:08:01 PM 957 Views
The Amazon Prime series based on Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch novels damookster - 26/06/2019 05:52:20 PM 905 Views
Unless it is a massive hit they will never commit to more than one at a time random thoughts - 28/06/2019 07:01:45 PM 932 Views
I agree with Tom - probably the first season will already be combining two books. Legolas - 26/06/2019 06:31:47 PM 954 Views
The lesson from GoT is as long as you have good source material, you shouldn't rush production AgentApple - 27/06/2019 12:02:59 PM 1210 Views
By that standard, they have 6 good books and a pile of shit thereafter Tom - 27/06/2019 06:52:10 PM 1092 Views
You devote an amazing amount of time over a pile of shit *NM* fionwe1987 - 28/06/2019 01:48:48 AM 507 Views
MASH got eleven seasons out of one book random thoughts - 28/06/2019 07:03:31 PM 1065 Views
MASH got 11 seasons by creating its own material for what was essentially a sitcom Tom - 01/07/2019 02:57:18 AM 915 Views
We shouldn't assume they will follow the books very closely at all random thoughts - 01/07/2019 01:34:41 PM 908 Views
I would be very happy if that were the case Tom - 02/07/2019 05:22:25 PM 921 Views
We're all in agreement that Jordan purposefully changed Taimandred because he was mad, right? Ghavrel - 02/07/2019 11:04:17 PM 990 Views
It was disclosed when the "encyclopedia" or whatever it was came out, I think Tom - 03/07/2019 12:18:10 AM 925 Views
That is some Westworld Season 2 level shit there. Roland00 - 05/07/2019 03:14:01 AM 900 Views
I don't think we can definitively say he was angry. Narg - 05/07/2019 08:28:43 PM 1123 Views
I don't even know. First couple of books are relatively straightforward, but after? beetnemesis - 27/06/2019 07:31:28 PM 1267 Views
