Well the pace of the show seems to be at light speed judging from the episode numbers attached to the photos!
Keeping my expectations in check but I have to admit the caged ###### picture is pretty sweet.

Yea I think my biggest worry is the episode/story timing and pacing. I get worried thinking of them squeezing so much into so few episodes. There is bound to be a lot left on the cutting room floor that fans may not like.Independent George said:

From that cast picture on the previous page, her braid might require 2 hands to get a proper tug.
Teaser trailer tomorrow!
The seals on the trailer are weakening and Rosamund Pike is to blame/thank. There's only a few hours left until Chaos reigns... pic.twitter.com/x4iYfEZVrA

A teaser for a teaser trailer. The nerds have taken over.
That was awesome!!
That looks great!
Yeah it looks badass!
Not really spoilers, but just in case:
Myrdral look terrifying, scenery is gorgeous, and I like how they show the weaves.

OH MY GOD!
They just might get this right.
Oh my yes. I'm so ready for this.
Visuals seem on point, hope the acting and writing stands up

Dang it. This is going to get me revved up to finally finish that series. I quit it after book 8 came out however many years ago that was so I recall almost nothing about the series anymore. Will have to start all over.

You can do that. There are also chapter summaries available for the entire series online. I usually have them open while I listen on audiobook. But you got 3 months.
I know it's been posted before but can you link those online summaries?Champ Bailey said:YouBet said:

It bogs down in some of the middle books, but stick with it. The later books are better (especially once Sanderson took over) and the finish is incredible.YouBet said:

Do it. I read them all last year. The middle wasn't as good (as people report), but I honestly still thought they were good overall. It probably helped that I could read all the way through rather than having to wait for new books to come out though.YouBet said:

Thought the music in the trailer was great. Not sure if the show will have a different score though. Does anyone know who the composer will be? The original composer attached to the show left in January, and I can't find anything about who is replacing him.
That's why I quit. Books 7 and 8 were trash and I got fed up. The thought of going back and rereading all of it is daunting though which is why I'm curious about the online summaries.Bevo99 said:It bogs down in some of the middle books, but stick with it.

What I would probably do is reread Books 1-3 or 4 and then just read summaries of the rest until Sanderson takes over.
I used this reread extensively once! It was great for re-acclimating myself to the whole story before the final few books came out.

And HOLY CRAP my mouth is still wide open in shock at that trailer. Hell yes! Wow.

I thought the same thing about the music. I loved the score in that trailer, and hope they use it or something similar in the show/title sequence.
This looks great!! I hope they do it justice.

Agreed on all 3. I was wondering how they were going to do the weaves, and this looks like it may work well.Champ Bailey said:

I'm also glad they're going to release a few episodes to help people dive in but then let things build over the remaining weeks. The speculation and waiting is what makes so many shows great.
Yes, that is an EXCELLENT decision. So glad they are doing that.
4.5
Over/under on how many times I'll watch those first three episodes before episode 4. Thinking over based on that trailer.
And the last three books by Sanderson are simply as good as it ever gets in fantasy writing. I just finished my third read-through (I didn't slog through the middle books, but skimmed which shortened my time as I was hoping to finish about the debut). If you don't have the patience, I'd recommend: read 1-6 (battle of Dumai Wells); chapter summaries for 7-11 and then read 12-14.
And for the record, I cried all three times when Egwene dies.

I'm deep in some Sanderson Cosmere reading, but I have to imagine that I am going to be revisiting WoT one day and I like the reread option you mentioned.
I am sure that books 7 through 11 have some amazing chapters though, I just can't recall every single chapter in this huge of a story!

Rafe answered this directly on a Q&A today, the composer is Lorne Balfe. Apparently the music that goes with the logo reveal is some of his for this.The Dog Lord said:

Another couple of nuggets from the Q&A:
- There will be another trailer, and it'll be longer
- "Season One will cover Book One, plus some of Book Two and even Book Three. But also not all of Book One, as some of it is in Season Two."
