Jordan HAD to spend a page to describe a dress to you if he wanted you to know what it looked like. On TV, you'll just be looking at the dress. The scene involving it can just happen.<br /><br />So why cut books just because little happens? If little HAPPENS, then you could probably get through the actual EVENTs of the book as they will go quickly on screen.<br /><br />I imagine the more descriptive a writer actually is, in some ways the easier it must be to adapt his stuff. Because there's less dialogue per page you have to film. :-pArikManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16511903270598682466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-75619054828739981102019-05-28T09:59:47.304+00:002019-05-28T09:59:47.304+00:00Well done!

There were world building and character developments being done throughout the books and I pity the people who didn't experience it. WOT was never about a single or even multiple characters. It was about a world.

The production has plenty of possibilities for cutting material. I would much rather have less material and less rushing through than trying to cover each and every thing. <br />Paulo Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00278336148726202908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-54193839448440228312019-03-25T18:39:54.636+00:002019-03-25T18:39:54.636+00:00It sure will be a good day when I can read through...It sure will be a good day when I can read through a comments section of a wonderful article about a series I love without someone (or several someones) obnoxiously complaining about the length of the series. Your boredom is not some notable achievement and this isn't your diary. No one is going to edit the series so it is easier for you to read. If you skipped the entire middle of the series, you missed a lot. To claim otherwise is just blowing smoke. Stop blowing smoke. It's annoying.Brett Moorenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-46372359947335096582019-03-13T18:44:03.148+00:002019-03-13T18:44:03.148+00:00They really need to cut some of the books if anyth...They really need to cut some of the books if anything. I stopped reading about a third of the way into the series because there were entire novels where almost nothing happened. The last one I read I was so frustrated with I actually threw the book away rather than inflict it upon some unsuspecting soul in a free book exchange.<br /><br />When the whole thing finally was wrapped up, a friend of mine convinced me to go ahead and read the last two books. I was amazed to discover that in the 8 or so intervening books between where I stopped and where I picked up again, apparently almost nothing of any consequence had happened. It was nice in a way because I was still able to follow the story just fine, but also completely baffling. This is not a book series that needs to be filmed at a 100 or likely even 500 pages to an hour ratio over most of it's run.Yeebohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08028940396189544294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-72533195561366410102019-03-11T22:51:41.085+00:002019-03-11T22:51:41.085+00:00We don't know at present.

Eventually, when things bog down a lot more in the middle books, they'll probably be able to cut a lot of material, and as you said it feels like doing around 7-9 seasons would probably be the max for a show like this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703856341303488608.post-90385688529184911912019-03-08T01:24:40.291+00:002019-03-08T01:24:40.291+00:00...hmmm.....I have a feeling this SHOW will be qui......hmmm.....I have a feeling this SHOW will be quite good, but fans of the BOOKS will hate it.
