Which of the cast and crew concern you most?
Occams whiskey bottle replied to more rain's topic in Wheel of Time TV Show
I fully expected that storyline to be dropped. I don't see that as a major story line. It doesn't really add much to the story, and requires time to develop three believable relationships in which three women agree to "share" Rand. I didn't think it was believable in the books and I think it will be even less believable in the adaption. This story is so vast that major story lines will be needed to be cut, changed, and/or merged with other story lines. It's just what is going to happen. It has to because you can't have people standing around having "info dump" conversations on how -
Book Review: Fate of the Fallen by Kel Kade
Occams whiskey bottle commented on Eqwina's news item in Fantasy Reviews
The Mistborn series was also a story that started with the dark forces prevailing. How does this book compare with Brandon Sanderson's? You've piqued my curiosity. Have you read any of Kade's other works? -
What to keep, what to drop?
Occams whiskey bottle replied to Barmacral's topic in Wheel of Time TV Show
They can keep pretty much the entire relationships intact with minimal changes. Egwene and Rand become more like a brother/sister relationship, while Elayne and Aviendha could be close friendships. The pregnancies could either be written out or explained as one night stands. Perhaps Rand takes on more of Mats personality and is more of a promiscuous ladies man. -

The Wheel of Time Will Be Adapted as a TV Series
Occams whiskey bottle replied to szilard's topic in Wheel of Time TV Show
I don't understand all the hand wringing. Moiraine and Lan are by far the most mysterious people we are introduced to. We don't know who the Aes Sedai are or what the One Power is. Each character is introduced to the Power in their own time, and Rands is pretty subtle. I don't see why anyone would be annoyed by Moiraine taking center stage to begin with. After all she is the person who introduced each and one of us the the secret world of the Aes Sedai. -
I'm Still holding out hope of a heavily edited version of the series that fixes the pacing problems. Not a popular suggestion, but still holding out hope.

Does the One Power prevent pregnancy?
Occams whiskey bottle replied to Dagon Thyne's topic in Wheel of Time Books
OK, so I didn't read all the comments, but I would assume that using the one power to prevent pregnancy would be more dangerous than safe. That there is more potential to damage reproduction systems of people than to actually safely prevent pregnancy. -
I don't think any of the covers encouraged anyone to go out and show random people the books. Though I still the the original cover to Eye of the World is still the best cover of all the covers...old and new.

Song of the Tuatha'an
Occams whiskey bottle replied to Occams whiskey bottle's topic in Wheel of Time Books
I remember reading that too. I think it was BS, but not sure. I just took notice that both words Voice and Singing were capitalized which suggested that there was more meaning behind those words. Perhaps RJ had other plans for the song and changed his mind later on? -
I'm starting my reread of the series, and noticed another obscure sentence that made me wonder if this was the "Bubbles of Evil". Page 1 of the Prologue: This seems to reference the Bubbles of Evil because the Dark One has touched the world, and tainted the One Power. Kind of cool that this is in the very first paragraph of the series!

Starting my reread over from scratch because it's been several months since I have read Shadow Rising. I'm reading the Prologue now and am wondering if the Tinkers song was known during the Age of Legends? On Page Two it reads: We know that the Aiel had served and failed the Aes Sedai, and that the Aiel fractured into several societies one of them being the Tuatha'an who spend their time in the series looking for their song. Was LTT referring to the lost song when he asked if the stranger had the "Voice" because it was time for the "Singing"?

Interview with Wheel of Time Spoilers
Occams whiskey bottle commented on EbonyAdo's news item in Community & Events
Awesome! Just subscribed to this podcast. I almost want to restart my reread and follow this podcast. I'm almost finished with The Shadow Rising, so I am not sure I want to go back and start over again. -
The Wheel of Time Will Be Adapted as a TV Series
Occams whiskey bottle replied to szilard's topic in Wheel of Time TV Show
Sadly, I feel like if they were planning on making an announcement of any kind that they would be leaking that info to generate excitement and intrigue, so I don't expect to see any announcements. Hope I'm wrong, but I can't see them not using any information of any kind to get more interest in this convention. -
The Wheel of Time Will Be Adapted as a TV Series
Occams whiskey bottle replied to szilard's topic in Wheel of Time TV Show
Amazon set aside over a billion dollars for new series. That leaves plenty of money left over after Dark Tower, WoT, and LotR. Keep in mind these are also some of the best completed series in all of literature, and they are more than special effects they are great stories with characters that people love. If done right these three shows will bring in a lot of fans and the buzz of each will only attract more.
