Yaaaaaaaaaaas! :joy Even if the series doesn't itself live up to my hopes, I'm sure I will enjoy bitching about it. :laugh:

"Cutting edge" you guys. That means it has to be good, right? :look:

cut·ting edge
adjective
1. at the latest or most advanced stage of development; innovative or pioneering.

Quoted word for word from Google so. Yes, it'd better be good. :p

This is great news :joy

I just hope it will be a decent adaption, I wonder if it has enough romance and gore for HBO, but they may take it anyway, due to GoT HUGE success :D

Enough romance and gore?
real book spoiler, just in case
You remember that Rand has three lovers, yeah? And can you say "Dumai's Wells"?
:P

Not to mention all the spankings. :p

I can't wait!

I'm thinking Amazon picked it up, honestly. WoT would overshadow GoT at HBO, or maybe the other way around. Netflix doesn't seem interested in that kind of thing. Amazon needs a good clincher after Netflix's coup with the Disney deal. There are only so many epic fantasy book series that would convert well to TV and already have a following. WoT is chief among them.

Yessss, now I can get all my thick-book-fearing friends into WoT *rubs hands together evilly*

I like this strategy. :laugh:

I'm... tentatively excited about this. :look:

My friends don't fear thick books; quite the opposite. They have so much stuff to read, whenever I suggest WoT, they say "Yeah, maybe, someday. I'll put it on my list."
Maybe a show will jump it to the top of the list.

I'm far too pessimistic about this. :look: I want to be excited, but all I can think about is how much will it diverge from the books, how closely will they match the actors to the characters (Legend of the Seeker, I'm looking at your and your Darken Rahl!), how is it ever going to last long enough to get the through the whole series, etc. I have to mentally prepare myself to like it for what it is, like I did with Legend of the Seeker and Shannara, instead of expecting perfection of mythical proportions.

*Puddleglums over with Dnae* :giggle

Seriously, I'll be excited when we have more details I'm sure. For now it's vague enough that I have room to worry.

I'm just hoping that it actually gets made. :P It's still another 3-4 years down the line before we see anything, but hopefully it'll be good. I just want to know who the studio is.

Hopefuls: HBO, Netflix, Showtime.

Pray It Isn't: CW, FOX, Hulu, MTV, ABC, NBC, CBS.
