That would be really cool! There wouldn't be a spot for a female gaidin, but I wouldn't mind being a nameless Andoran girl. :)

Hopefuls: HBO, Netflix, Showtime.

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

Hey CW can do good shows. The Flash is spectacular.

Netflix however would be the bestest.

It would be interesting to see if they'd do a book a season (at least to start). I felt like the first book has so much that it would be hard to shove in the 2nd. To be honest, some of the later books would be easier to combine because there was a lot less action and a lot more talking. I don't know that it could be expected to run for more than 7-8 seasons, since that is what most shows last, and that's being optimistic that they'll produce it well enough and the network will support it long enough to last that long.

This is FANTASTIC NEWS! :D

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

I'm hoping my husband will at least watch the series now. I've been trying to get him to read it without luck for the last fifteen years :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

WoT has plenty of areas for writers to add more than what is already explicitly written in the books, Aduiavas Sedai. My concern is they will add too much.

I AM SO SO SO EXCITED. I WILL WATCH ALL OF IT EVEN IF ITS BAD AND BREAKS MY HEART. AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

Me too! At least all the books have been finished so the writers can't (won't? :look:) deviate too far from the storyline.

I started crying when I read it. All I could think is after 14 years of being a fan and hoping this would happen, finally!

It was inevitable in the long run, yet seemed like it would never happen. Super exciting. :D

I'd generally hope for one of the streaming-first networks, although AMC and FX have done some good work with relatively ambitious shows.

Well, yes, there are some romance and gore, but not in an explicit way. Most of the romantic stuff happens off-screen, and especially in the beginning there are hardly any :look:
I am comparing this to GoT though, so that may not be a fair comparison...
