I wonder if you could combine some of the elements of S2 and S3 and have S2 end with Callandor, but have the whole Seanchan arc and turning the girls over to a cliffhanger in the last episode of S2 and then do the Seanchan stuff beginning of S3.

My impression from Rafe's comments was that at least the first four seasons would be a book a season. I def hope so

 

8. I mean let's all be honest, I'm gonna be condensing in the latter middle section of books ?

15. Not looking to cut major plot lines, more reshuffle/repurpose/etc. Again, will try to include as much as I can, but will always cut things that don’t tell us more about character

24. Question: Hello Rafe, Do you anticipate Season 1 taking up eye of the world and season 2 being The Great Hunt?
Rafe Judkins: Yes and no

What a lot of you are forgetting is that Rafe specifically said Logain has a lot of screen time in the series, a big change from the books. No one has fit him into their S2 theories anywhere.

 

i think more will be cut than you all think.

He may have a similar, more subdued role for S2 than he has in S1. Assuming he is brought back to the Tower, there is opportunity to give him some conversations. Maybe with Eg/El/Nyn, maybe with other Aes Sedai (Siuan?). I expect they want to expand the politics plot lines at the Tower. There is room for him even in a non-aggressive way.

A logical next step for the expanded Logain storyline is to setup the tower politics leading up to the Tower split.   That's part of why I think they might bring the Tower split significantly forward in time.  Season 1 already sets up the Red/Blue factional split.  The first scene with Liandrin potentially sets up the "vileness" backstory which could give Thom a season two storyline. 

 

It is probably more helpful to look at the storylines and arcs more then the books themselves.  One of the ways to outline the series as a whole is to just get rid of the book distinctions, map out events in time, and adapt from there.

Alright, just to living things up, I put together potential list of 64 (8x8) episodes, based on assumptions of which plot elements need to stay in order to get to where we're going. (easy example: the Bowl has to stay, since it's the Bowl that gets Mat to meet Tuon)

 

I will say it would certainly move at a breakneck pace through the series, and fix the slog really effectively, but you can forget about character growth and consideration through downtime

That's Coplin talk...or maybe Abell talk now.

This person hasn't replied to me yet so I can't tell them women is the plural for woman.

Also they cast someone born female. If Min was trans they would have cast a trans woman.

On the one hand I feel like TGH being written as an ensemble piece from the start will make it easier to translate more directly to TV. On the other, I feel like they really need to get to the end of TDR in S2, so that will require a lot of condensing and adapting. So I'm very mixed... unfortunately.
