Decided to make this a thread of its own just like Game of Thrones had a thread.

This show hopefully will be big.

Following is the trailer.

Read all the books, Hope they don't screw the story Up ! -- the Fatboy ! :cautious:
 
I saw the trailer in a auto body shop just now. Looks interesting. Know nothing about it tho.
 
Hope it's good. Been about 25 years since I read the books.
 
have been debating reading the books since i read the reviews here...might hold off and just watch the show
 
Look good. Rosamund Pike is a great actress…Watch Gone Girl if you’re unsure or don’t know her.
 
I'll read the books (whenever I get them) before I watch it. Sorry, but most books are better than films/television shows.

There are 13 of them, each approximately 1000 pages long.

Actually - there are 14 books plus a short Prelude book

But yeah - 1000 pages is about right for paperback

I think the hardback books average about 700 to 800 pages plus the glossary at the end of each book

No I didn't buy the comics but I have read the books a couple times

I started reading when the 1st 4 were already out. Then I would re-read from the beginning when a new one was due to come out. It was frustrating to have my favorite character ( Mat ) not mentioned in a book then have to wait another two years to read about him again.

Yeah I wasn't too happy when Perrin wasn't in one of the earlier books as well just when I was really starting to like Perrin

I wish I could find the interview, but the executive producer, Rafe Judkins, specifically acknowledged some of the pacing and storytelling issues from the middle books. It sounds like if they make it that far, they know they'll have to make some changes, especially for TV.

I think they could put books 8 9 and 10 into one season and shorten Perrin and Elayne's two stories into one season.

Jordan dwelled on those two stories way too much.
