ZaziGuado 10/27/21 3:18:17 PM #5:	My assumption is that trailer was targeted at book readers. As somebody who didn't read the books and knows nothing about The Wheel of Time series, I understood nothing from the trailer. It felt like there was A LOT packed into it. All that said, I'll still check the show out when it debuts. I have enough friends excited for it that I'd like to join in on the discourse. --- snowpork azuarc is OP. <cite>ZaziGuado posted [p:959442859] in Wheel of T...

Seanchan 10/27/21 3:49:54 PM #6:	The first book, which I'm assuming will be the first season of the show, is very much Fellowship of the Ring. Just with Gandalf's role being done by Moiraine. Moiraine is an Aes Sedai. They're basically a bunch of powerful magic users that unofficially control the world, kinda like Dune's Bene Gesserit.

Seanchan 10/27/21 4:30:14 PM #8:	JonThePenguin posted... I believe the showrunner has said it's pulling from the first three books, but yeah, mostly the first. Hmm, interesting. I'd imagine that's maybe to introduce more of the characters that don't appear until those books like the Seanchan and maybe the Aiel. I don't think they're actually going to get to the Stone of Tear and Callandor by the end of the first season. I've said this before, but I'm interested to see how the showrunners adapt such a colossal (and colossally long story). With the advantage of a completed story they'll know which pieces are important and which aren't. And also which will work better for the TV format. For example, Perrin's whole arc in books...shit, was it like 7 thru 11... was fucking interminable and could be done in a single episode (should the series get that far). --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! <cite>Seanchan posted [p:959445369] in Wheel of T...

KingButz 10/27/21 4:39:09 PM #10:	The first season is basically the first book. There will be some stuff shuffled around from the other books that will help with world-building, but it ends more or less where the first book ends. Some stuff from book 1 (~~Caemlyn, almost certainly~~) will be in the second season, according to leaks. --- rip imgcake <cite>KingButz posted [p:959445661] in Wheel of T...

Seanchan 10/27/21 4:59:43 PM #12:	If no Camelyn then that would mean no Elayne and Gawyn...in theory. I think we'd still see Logain though; pretty sure one of the trailers/teasers showed a guy in a cage and I have to think that's still him. Haven't re-read the series since the last book came out nearly 9 (!!!) years ago.

Seanchan 10/27/21 5:04:32 PM #13:	LeonhartFour posted... I just started book 7 The hardcover release of book 7 was when I first discovered the series! Anyway, fair warning, books 7-10 aren't great, especially after all the awesomeness of books 4-6. Good news for you is you can read them all back to back and don't have to be disappointed after a multi-year wait. If you can persevere though, the series improves drastically after that and come to as satisfying a conclusion as you're likely to get from a series of its length. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! <cite>Seanchan posted [p:959446471] in Wheel of T...
