Last I knew S3 was merely rumored to have been greenlit / some random European Amazon page tweeted that it was.

Not officially by any official outlet. It's been reported by a few different semi reputable sources claiming Czech production contacts.

I did hear S2-S3 back to back recording. Makes senes if they can just get all the actor parts filmed out asap. Just lock em in Czech for 4 years to film out all 8 seasons and then take the post productions slow. lol.

Some of them like Pike relocated their families and moved to Prague. One would think you would have assurances that this isn't gonna be a 1-2 year thing before doing so.

The Wheel Takes episode on the TV show is great. Ally has experience in TV development so they spend like 90 minutes talking about the process of adapting to a TV format and a lot of their spoiler discussion brings up stuff I didn't catch, like the thing about Nynaeves braid and what they might do with the changes to Perrin/Mat. Looking forward to them covering more episodes.

I assume they will combine a lot of books 2 and 3.

This is my guess as well. I bet the Falme sky battle will be merged into the Eye of the World scene. Books 2 and 3 do similar things, with 3 sidelining Rand for way too much screen time. And I doubt they’ll introduce the Seanchan in season 2, which would require a lot of reworking of Egwene’s plot.

I liked the first three episodes. One small thing I appreciated was Moiraine’s discussion with Egwene. Egwene immediately switched over to student mode, eager as hell to learn everything. Unlike the boys, she immediately heeds the call to adventure. She’s hungry and I thought the show played it perfectly.

But most importantly the beginning and the end of her arc.

“And of course,” Verin said calmly, “the man who channels must be one of the three young men traveling with you, Moiraine.” (2)

and

“Hmm, yes,” Verin said, taking a calm sip of her tea. “I suspect that you do. By the way, that dress you are wearing is green.” (12)

Also:

The Glass Pillars....both Rand's AND Aviendha's. (4 & 13)

Dumai's Wells (6)

Natrim's Barrow (12)

Tuon looked at him, squatting there by the map, moving his fingers over its surface, and suddenly she saw him in a new light. A buffoon? No. A lion stuffed into a horse-stall might look like a peculiar joke, but a lion on the high plains was something very different. Toy was loose on the high plains, now. She felt a chill. What sort of man had she entangled herself with? After all this time, she realized, she had hardly a clue. (11)

“My name is Nynaeve ti al’Meara Mandragoran. The message I want sent is this. My husband rides from World’s End toward Tarwin’s Gap, toward Tarmon Gai’don. Will he ride alone?” (11)

"I win again, Lews Therin." (2)

And so much more. I could keep at this all day, but these are the ones that I feel HAVE to be in there in some fashion.

How about that battle after Loial's wedding (I think?) where he's blasting the oncoming waves of Trollocs with deathgates? I thought that was hilarious and would make some great visuals

It would be cool if they put in little cut aways to a dead, smoking trolloc just landing in some farmers field while he's plowing, then to another somewhere else and so on.

I do want to see Mat beat the princes, Jak o' the Shadows, and Dumai's Wells.

I thought they were going to use that to introduce Ishamael after it's revealed Rand is the dragon, but apparently that was the bonus content for episode 1.

i'd forgotten the context for this and lol it's really good

we got some glowing and i hope they further establish that visual language, so it's very clear that both moiraine and siuan are doing roughly the equivalent of suddenly drawing their swords and holding them to her throat

4. Portal Stone jaunt (book 2)
5. Bowl of Winds + One Power nuke (book 8)

Edit: Obviously stuff like Mat vs Couladin, the Gholam, etc and some of the other showdowns (Lan vs Demandred, Ingtar's last stand, etc).

It'll be cool if they pull off some of stuff like the attempted assassination on Rand (and his exchange with Taim afterwards), or him and Nynaeve tracking down Grendal, or the confrontation with Fain in Cairhien too.

How about 5 scenes you least want to see adapted?

1. Perrin beats his wife
2. Egwene uses the world of dreams to make Nynaeve uncomfortable
3. Mat gets sexually assaulted
4. Gawyn (his whole storyline)
5. Any/all scenes including spanking or poorly concealed BDSM elements

Not only is her entire setup terrible and gross, but his interactions with her depend so much on his inner monologue smelling her emotions there's just no way it survives the adapting.

I will say this for the show, it does a really good job of making Perrin and Egwene look cold and miserable when they're trekking across that windswept plain. It's not easy to convey "it is loving cold" without just having snow on the ground, but they did it.

willfully illiterate, aggressively miserable sourpuss whose sole raison d’etre is to put other people down for liking the wrong things
Faile is in my top 2 or 3 favorite characters in the book so I hope they adapt her well. She's kind of a dumbass but in a way that leads to some really fun interactions.

Also one of the only POV characters with the correct reaction to Ran

quote:

She's 17 to Perrin's 19 when they meet like Egwene and Elayne.
