There is no way Amazon will commit to 10 or more seasons

Assume 6 seasons for the entire series if you're lucky. Yes, I'm cheering for an early cancellation because I think the whole thing ended up a ruined pile of shit, but realistically, if they got 8 seasons it would be remarkable. Most story arc series finish by 5 or 6. Assume a first season of 10 episodes at most. That means you have to do the following:
Season 1 - Eye of the World, Great Hunt
Season 2 - Dragon Reborn, Shadow Rising
Season 3 - Fires of Heaven, Lord of Chaos
Season 4 - 3 of those crappy later books (7-9)
Season 5 - everything up to the last book "trilogy" (10-part of 12)
Season 6 - Finish
If you only have 5 seasons then I would smash the later books even more densely into 4 and 5 and leave 1-3 at 2 books per season.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

That... Would basically doom the show right from the get go. The OP is a BIG part of WoT's identity.

I hoped the whole show would just be called "Falcon in the Snow".

Unless it is a massive hit they will never commit to more than one at a time

I agree with Tom - probably the first season will already be combining two books.

The lesson from GoT is as long as you have good source material, you shouldn't rush production

We shouldn't assume they will follow the books very closely at all

We're all in agreement that Jordan purposefully changed Taimandred because he was mad, right?

I don't even know. First couple of books are relatively straightforward, but after?
