He avoided answering the question.
Q.
Are they privy to information about what’s going to happen in future novels?
A.
We’ve had various meetings where they’ve asked me stuff like that. It’s a little tricky because of course the series is not finished. And the structure is quite unusual. Minor characters in the first book become very major characters three books later on, which is a challenge for any producer, because how do you deal with that in the series? We have many challenges yet to come, assuming the show is successful. But fortunately David and Dan have to solve all those problems, and I don’t. [laughs] I just create the problems for them, and then they have to solve it.

I may get cable just to watch this show. I'm so pissed it was only 15 minutes. I should've waited *NM*

I don't have tv service, so I'm hoping it's made available online. Looks promising.

I think you need to use this opprutunity to give yourself an excuse to reread the novels.
