I dont think that will be as necessary here since they cant have as much of the quest, stay at small tavern stuff. But it is possible.

It is kind of pointless to focus on litle changes and if they will work or not. The story is going to be vastly different in a lot of ways.

But they appear to be doing everything right to try and make this a fantastic retelling in terms of budget, strong actors and solid director, production and costume / set people.

I dont want to get my hopes up but i think it is going to be really good, i just hope it is marketed well and that it catches on so we can see it to the end (and get more big budget fantasy productions)

Right. This is a 14 (15 if you include New Spring) book series where all of the books are 100s of pages long, some of them get to around 1000 pages.

There are hundreds of characters, many pretty important characters, subplots, etc.

It is not possible to do it all in a series. It just isn't, for a variety of practical reasons.

So subplots are going to be eliminated. Characters combined, famous scenes done away with, books condensed, etc.

It is inevitable, we already know of some fairly major changes for S1.

As long as they stay true the essence of the books and characters, its fine.

Think of it as another turning of the wheel.
