Re: I hoped the whole show would just be called "Falcon in the Snow". Cannoli Send a noteboard - 26/06/2019 11:33:22 AM

The books have too many story lines so I thought it would be best to just get rid of them all except for Perrin's quest to rescue Faile from the Shaido. I was a bit disheartened to see that they had cast Moiraine because it means they either didn't go the direction I wanted, or they tried to wedge Moiraine into Perrin's quest.

I think it could be pretty great. Imagine the first episode: A bearded man trudges through the snow while the opening credits play. The opening credits finish and that man continues to walk through the snow dramatically for several more minutes. Eventually the man turns around and walks back the way he came. He arrives at a collection of tents and yells at another guy "Did you find her!?". The guy responds, "No, Lord Perrin". The audience gets goosebumps at the reveal, depressing violin music starts playing, and the ending credits roll. Boom. Masterpiece.


This was kind of awesome. And it means we get to keep the silk-washing scene, which is a subject of intense and passionate fan opinion.

Very good idea AgentApple - 27/06/2019 11:54:32 AM 920 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 955 Views
Unlike aSoI&F, WoT really hinges on its magic system AgentApple - 27/06/2019 11:53:49 AM 1005 Views
Ever saw Dr. Strange? fionwe1987 - 28/06/2019 01:51:53 AM 963 Views
That's a very good point Cannoli - 06/07/2019 05:06:38 AM 916 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 1004 Views

What do we know about the TV series? Timing, length, storylines..... Anonymous2000 - 26/06/2019 02:36:40 AM 905 Views
Not many at first. Or maybe the whole thing. Cannoli - 26/06/2019 01:23:46 PM 1090 Views
There is no way Amazon will commit to 10 or more seasons Tom - 26/06/2019 03:08:01 PM 917 Views
The Amazon Prime series based on Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch novels damookster - 26/06/2019 05:52:20 PM 866 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 889 Views
I agree with Tom - probably the first season will already be combining two books. Legolas - 26/06/2019 06:31:47 PM 914 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 1175 Views
By that standard, they have 6 good books and a pile of shit thereafter Tom - 27/06/2019 06:52:10 PM 1057 Views
You devote an amazing amount of time over a pile of shit *NM* fionwe1987 - 28/06/2019 01:48:48 AM 496 Views
MASH got eleven seasons out of one book random thoughts - 28/06/2019 07:03:31 PM 1026 Views
MASH got 11 seasons by creating its own material for what was essentially a sitcom Tom - 01/07/2019 02:57:18 AM 889 Views
We shouldn't assume they will follow the books very closely at all random thoughts - 01/07/2019 01:34:41 PM 872 Views
I would be very happy if that were the case Tom - 02/07/2019 05:22:25 PM 885 Views
We're all in agreement that Jordan purposefully changed Taimandred because he was mad, right? Ghavrel - 02/07/2019 11:04:17 PM 950 Views
It was disclosed when the "encyclopedia" or whatever it was came out, I think Tom - 03/07/2019 12:18:10 AM 892 Views
That is some Westworld Season 2 level shit there. Roland00 - 05/07/2019 03:14:01 AM 861 Views
I don't think we can definitively say he was angry. Narg - 05/07/2019 08:28:43 PM 1084 Views
