The Wheel of Time TV Adaptation - Thinking about the Structural Approach to Adaptation

There has been a lot of discussion adaptation recently, especially surrounding the Wheel of Time television show adaptation of Robert Jordan's 14 book series (and one prequel, yes I know there is a prequel, but it is not part of the main sequence of the Wheel of Time). Much of the discussion has focused on why the show runners are not 'faithfully' adapting the books. So I thought I would offer up a consideration of a different approach to adaptation that takes into account narrative structure as an alternative way of thinking about whether something is faithful and what faithfulness means in terms of adaption. Adaptation is a tricky business involving change of medium, change of audience, change of narrative structure, change of pacing, and change of where rising action, climax, and falling action occur in an episode, season, and over all narrative structure. Not only that, but there are practical and pragmatic concerns about budget, location, Special Effects, extras, and a pandemic... oh, and a central cast member left. So all these things play into how the show is structured in a different way to the books. By the way, I noticed that I said Cairhien when I meant to say Caemlyn. Sorry about that. In my defence, I am only human and sometimes my brain supplies the wrong name. The incident I was thinking of was when they go to The Queen's Blessing in Caemlyn and meet Loial. I have no idea why my brain thought Cairhien. Maybe I am just old. As ever, I welcome discussion in the comments, but I would ask that people remain polite. I tried out an intro that one of the regular commenters sent me, Professor Trip. Thanks to Trip for this great intro sequence. Let me know what you think of it.
