They will need that 8-9 seasons easily (if not more), but there's really quite a lot that they can trim, condense & combine to make the storytelling more efficient. A lot of characters spin their wheels hard even in the less wheel-spinny books, let alone when it's at its worst. Like a certain someone saving another character who gets kidnapped doesn't need to take 5 seasons worth of TV like it does 5-6 books. Or if it does, they don't need to spend all that much time with that particular storyline per episode. A lot of the travel in the books can also be montaged to save time for more important. Even in the first book we don't really need to see Rand & Co stay and travel through as many villages as they do. Skip some, maybe combine a few important scenes that happen in different villages into happening in a single stop of just one etc.
Also, world-building & lore can & should take a bit of a hit. I know a lot of fantasy nerds love some good ol' lore dumps & massive world-building, but that's not necessarily hugely important for the core story & a tv show, and as such should be skipped as much as possible. They can take some of that stuff into account in subtle ways, but a lot of it shouldn't be explained as thoroughly as in the books & wasted time upon.

Was there any word if SEAL Teams budget will go up or down with the move to Paramount +?
I assume the episode count gets cut in half regardless
I assume the episode count gets cut in half regardless
I hope it doesn't get cut that much. Disappointing as is it is almost certainly going to be cut due to being moved to Paramount+. Just hope the episode count isn't too much less.
Dear god I hope it isn't cut down to like a "premium" 8 episode deal.
The fun of Seal Team is that there is a dumb fun military series on weekly and the cast is way higher caliber than honestly required.
What I was thinking of when I saw that. Dude was in his 30s

Happy birthday!
Some of these European series continue to be great investments for Netflix. Sexify is one spot below Jupiter's Legacy and probably has 1/20th of the production cost.
Thank you, everyone! Today was such a lovely day and I really appreciate you all wishing me a happy birthday.
I think Discovery's worldwide presence has been an under reported aspect of the Warner/Discovery merger. It could really help HBO Max (or whatever they end up calling it afterwards) compete in that space.
It's not just for competition, streaming services in the European Union need to have a certain percentage of European productions in their catalogue to be able to operate in the EU.
thanks 😊

A couple episodes behind, but don't think this season has been as good as the 1st. Cool that it got renewed though.

At this point the show had already devolved into nothing but special effects, brutality and sexual violence so I would say I was surprised, but am I really?

So Powerpuff may not get picked up. I thought it was a shoe in.
It's pretty horrible that this was the compromise they decided to go with. "We can't exploit rape anymore, so lets waterboard the actress".

It's becoming a trend on the CW not picking up spin-offs I have any interest in. First it was Wayward Sisters, then Green Arrow and the Canaries and now Painkiller. Painkiller not as much as the other two, but I did like the back-door pilot.
They still have a bulk of my programming, but definitely not going to get my hopes up any longer for any future potential spin-offs for shows that I enjoy. Seems I am cursed in that regards.

Fucked up
Things are not looking good for Showbuzzdaily, according to their Twitter account. I will still post ratings despite them being down but this may be the last season I do it. TV Line is a good source for overnight TV ratings but they do more of an overview of how shows fared the night before instead of going into full details with charts like Showbuzzdaily does. I was looking at other sites but it appears that they depend on Showbuzzdaily as well.
