The casting thread on the dragonmount.com forums was locked and deleted because of some discussion down this same path. Think it got heated.

I can imagine, I was blown away and a little bit hurt as dumb as that sounds. As was mentioned there are people of color who figure largely in the book, the daughter of the 9 moons first and foremost. The characters are very well described in the books and it makes no sense what they have done

here's hoping the Trollocs look decent.

I honestly cannot remember. Were they varied in appearance?

Yep. All sorts of different types of heads and bodies. Like a Picasso of limbs and body parts (mixing in human and animal)

Wiki has some good depictions. You can see how varied it is.

It's hard to be legitimately surprised in a book, but when the trollocs broke down the door to Rand's cabin in Eye of the World, for me it was almost like that feeling when you're falling asleep and jolt awake because you think you're literally falling.

I didn't know exactly what I was in for with WOT, I knew it was fantasy but didn't know exactly what kind. It was a little creepy up to that point with the feelings of dread and the strange rumors, but also mostly still cheerful and humorous village life.

Yep, i went into the series a few years ago figuring with 14 books it was gonna be a slow burn, maybe it'll get a little nuts toward the end of EotW and then BOOM. And I think because it's not GRRM GRIMDARK people forget just how visceral and violent the action scenes are in the series. Trollocs are absolute horrors to behold, human remains are constantly being found strewn about and in camp pots, not to mention what happens Emond's field. Most of Rand's power reminds me of death animations from old DOOM games.

Wow, some great tidbits of information from the show runner, Rafe Judkins, today! Go check out his Instagram and watch his story.

https://instagram.com/rafejudkins?igshid=mx8c3ki23q8f

Biggest news:

- they are NOT combining Elayne and Min
- there IS an Aiel in season 1, but who it is will be a "surprise"

Edit to add: he is live right now and answering a ton of questions as they come. As he put it, Amazon shouldn't let him online while he's been cooped up for a while!

I'm working on my 3rd or 4th re-read and man the Dragon Reborn is so awesome. It is really depressing how Jordan lost his way in his excessive prose over the years. The whole Stone of Tear story i s just mind blowing.

I don't get the sad face emoji! True it got long winded in his later books, but it all worked out in the end!

According to IMDB, Clare Perkins was cast as "New Spring Character": Karene Nagashi, she was one of the searchers tasked by Tamra Ospenya.. If they are including that character then it seems like we might get an early backstory not related to the original prologue.

"Theory on show opening": The show cold opens with the telling that Suain and Moraine are present for and we get a quick dark toned sequence of black ajah taking out all the people searching and Tamra. That is of course if we don't get a LTT murder everyone then create dragonmount scene. It would create tension right off the bat of how untrustworthy aes sedai are for the common person. Then cut to the shows opening and then Rand and Tam walking down the road. Sorry to nerd out here, its fun thinking about all the possibilities. Its just as likely that this would all be told at the start of Hunt for the Horn though.

1. Never apologize for nerding out about WoT.

2. If we don't get the LTT scene, we riot.

That's some interesting insight. It's been so long since I read New Spring that I really don't remember it much at all.

Interestingly, that Min actress was Leaf on Game of Thrones.

Interesting. Kind of see it now that you mention it.

Was actually thinking about this series the other day. Been pretty quiet for a while. Do we have any idea at this point of when it'll premiere? Gotta think sometime next year at this point.

They have two more episodes to film from what I read. They were suppose to start filming them this month. They are working on season 2 scripts and in post production on the episodes they have filmed.

With all that, I am guessing that we will see it hit amazon June of next year.

I like these two for casting, fits pretty well to my imagination.

I really can't recall all of the highlights from Rafe's IG stories that day. There may be a synopsis somewhere online? He definitely let a lot out!

I was just playing off on Rand's background. My assumption is that if they mentioned Aiel appearing, it's specifically someone else.
Chase McGuire

Maybe Gaul? He doesn't appear until the third book though, like many of the Aiel. Just the first name off the top of my head.

Finally finished 'Memory of Light'!

I started reading the series in 1998. A LOT has happened in 22 years between the books and life. Definitely the end of a beginning...

Now I am ready for the TV series. When this shat start? Less go!
