TV NEWS: Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time: Winter Dragon - the pilot debuted last night...

Fade2Black

If you blinked you missed it.
FXX aired a Wheel of Time pilot last night. Late last night. Really late last night. At 1:30AM last night.
Most suspect the reason it wasn't promoted at all is because the producers would lose their rights if they didn't put out a tangible product, so they just threw something together to retain the rights.

Anyhoo... watch it now, while you still can.

Billy Zane!

A series does need to be made of this ... but it would have to last years and years, and even more years.

There's another show in the works. Hopefully they don't screw this one up. Because TV is the only way you can adapt these books.

I think it has a lot what makes GoT so accessible as a TV Show. There is a ton of characters to follow, they all start together at first then fan out, is the difference from GoT. But at least unlike GoT it is finished.

I saw something about it. I didn't know that it was go time on the series. I assume it is better than the garbage that replaced my ronco ads on FX. I'm still miffed that a terrible "pilot" of one of my favorite series interrupted my pocket Fisher commercial.
And yes I Know that shameless pilot was license grab.

Sony has bought the rights. And the early guess for a station is Netflix. Which would be interesting.
