They could do a number of things, be it someone whispering off-screen, go fight-club. All manner of things.

 

But generally, most of the internal dialogue we get in the books just doesn't work on screen.

Well, lets hope they will find a clever way, since (at least for me) it is part of the charm of WoT.... a "fight-club" approach could work for rand. but nyneave? I don't think so. and off-screen it also tricky. it could come out as a child book reading or an old detectives movie from the 50s... :)

My guess is you get more characters talking to each other, like Thom is probably a good listening character, as is Loial, Egwene is probably fairly easy too and the same as Perrin, both being dreamers. Nyneave and Elayne are probably hardest as Nyneave isn't really a touchy-feely type person and Elayne because she's a princess basically. Although Elayne will get easier after they intro Aviendah, leaving Nyneave but they will have to find a way as her arc of change is one of the best.

There is a huge difference between the way people talk and think. I will create a "lost in translation" if they will try to "translate" thoughts to discussions.

You can't portray internal monologue very well on screen. So that'll actually cut a lot out. 
What that leads to, is more dialogue and exposition to replace and expand.

But you have to express internal struggle somehow. otherwise you will lose major part of the plot.

Removing all the braid tugging alone will knock 2 seasons out.

LOL!

Will WoT keep the GoT structure and make a season per book?

From my point of view there is much more going on in one WoT book than in a GoT book. I'm not sure you can pack it all into one season. However 14 seasons seems like a huge commitment from Amazon prime.

As for other 'visual challenges', I am interested to see how they treat the whole One Power (Saidin/Saidar) issue in the tv-show. It plays a big role in the books, not the least for our White Tower heroines, and it could end up looking great (if done right) but also cheap (if done poorly). I hope some serious money will be spent on the 'magic' (One Power) in the Wheel of Time tv-show so it looks great since I see this as one of the central things in Robert Jordan's majestic story.

Totally agree, I think that the way they will handle the One Power visualization could rise or fail the series.
