Wheel Of Time TV series
« on: November 23, 2021, 03:52:47 AM »

So no spoilers for those of you who have not seen it.

Now I am an avid (maybe rabid would be a better term) fan of this series. I have been reading it since 91. I am constantly in the middle of one of the books in the series.
As we all know there are always differences between the books and tv shows or movies. In this case there are a few glaring differences. Does it take away from the story? Absolutely not. Is this a great show? Absolutely! I highly recommend it! If you have read the books or not it is a great show so far. If you have Amazon prime go check it out. I will post more on here and by all means welcome discussion on this show here.

 All I can say is after all this time waiting for something WOT on the screen be it the big or small screen I'm ecstatic! But I'm very disappointed they put it on pay TV and not free to air. That really sux. :(

I do not disagree with that but at the same time I think it's actually to expensive for regular tv.

 We can only hope, as with many series now that start on Pay TV, they end up on Free to Air in a years time.  :sam37

Ive been finding & buying different sci-fi shows..dvd seasons. KYLE XY, SLIDERS, ROSWELL and of course both STARGATE SG-1 &STARGATE:ATLANTIS. Lots of good stuff in these, mostly '80's&'90's series+ STAR TREK😉

I hope somehow they do. I think you would all be very very pleased with this show, as long as you remember its an adaption not a word for word telling of the story.

My family have been fans of the books since the first publication. It began with my husband, then the kids, Mel especially when she was old enough to understand them. Finally with me in the early 2000s when I was bored one day and finally decided to join the following. I think I ended up being the most ardent fan here and still am.

I think eventually like all cable shows it will end up on prime TV. That is usually the pattern at least. The promos look utterly fantastic.

I will say the pace is a lot faster than the books but that's to be expected. I am sure you guys have read some horrible reviews by people upset that it was not word for word for the books, but I have enjoyed that since it means I don't know exactly what happens as well. I love this show. It's very well done. And I can see it was written by people who also love the books. That's all I can ask for.

 I just can't wait to see it; one way or another. I'm pretty sure some of my friends at the base have Prime and if I (and my family of course) can't go to their houses, maybe they can record it for us.

 It looks absolutely magnificent!   :yes:

They've been showing previews on TV. I think they're teasing us just to be cruel.
