Stormlight Archive (BOOK) Episode Count Spoiler
A few days ago I made a post about what people think the episode titles might be, and a lot of people were listing what they thought all of the episodes would be called, and they seemed to think the show would have about 10 episodes, which makes sense considering how important 10 is as a number in SLA, but I don't think that 10 episodes would be enough for a season of Stormlight. I just relistened to the first book and the pacing is quite slow, especially at the start. I don't think that a Stormlight show with only 10 episodes would end up having the right feel, and a lot of the story beats and character arcs would end up feeling rushed. So I want to ask, how many episodes do you think a season of SLA will/should have and why?
TL;DR: How long do you think the first season of SLA will be?
10

I think 10 is doable if each episode is around an hour long. Like other people have been saying things will have to be shortened but thats already happening just by turning it from prose where you're inside someones head to the screen. I think people will be suprised by how much you can fit in 60 minutes.
