Corvinus85 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I wish the people writing these articles could be bothered to provide more complete and correct write ups. Quote The Wheel of Time, which has sold over 90M books worldwide, is set in a sprawling, epic world where magic exists, but only women can use it. Safely, only women can use it safely. A significant difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martini Sigil Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Good article from Den of Geek.... https://www.denofgeek.com/us/tv/wheel-of-time/263967/wheel-of-time-amazon?fbclid=IwAR1aj5BOiLmJ6hIr6ZnOMVS-zRbowdadTI6D4qD-4rF5cdfo1vAEVljIMBM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, I think it was her who arranged that episode 1 shot of Cheese and D'Angelo under the neon sign which is one of the most striking moments of the first episode (and the one David Simon personally intervened with to make sure it was done to HD properly). Very impressive. Also directing what is apparently the best episode of Westworld is a pretty big notch on her belt as well. Oh whoa. That's a great shot. Here's hoping she brings visual flair to WoT too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karaddin Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Yeah because Jordan wasn't trying to explore gender and related politics with his choice to structure the society in the books in this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astromech Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Just as long as it's over before Sanderson is asked to step in to finish this adaptation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering now if it's going to be 10 episodes for Season 1, 5 eps per book, or if it's going to be a bit more and TGH finishes before the end of the book (ending with the 9-month time jump makes sense). But 106 definitely sounds like it's introducing Siuan as Amyrlin, which really is the start of TGH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either they intro Siuan in Fal Dara, or they're playing around with the story and maybe she'll show up in Caemlyn or something. Maybe they'll establish her rivalry with Elaida early. More Siuan is something I can get behind, honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Which Tyler Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 Also suggests that they could be after a bigger name for Siuan. Leave her too late, and you don't get value for money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mladen Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I LOVE SIUAN as a character and it would be interesting to see how it plays out. As for casting, I am still on Joan Chen, who played Empress Chabi on "Marco Polo". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought of it as Sue-Ahn, with greater emphasis on the Ahn. So kinda like swan but pronounced differently. Despite the name, though, there's no need for Siuan to be played by an Asian woman. The names and associated races for various countries don't necessarily match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be quite the jump and omission of many, many braid tugs. I'm still holding out hope of Sam Elliott as Thom Merrilin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
