Wheel of Time (/sigh) Movie
Surgoshan:
Actually, he did. He wrote out the notes and whatnot and someone will finish the last book for him.

Nope. Other than Dragonmount and the ventures north into the Blight (and, ok, the Mountains of Mist and the Spine of the World), Randland is mostly flat.

GET RID of the fucking Bowl of Winds.

Well yeah, if you want to skip from beginning right to the end. My favourite few chapters in the entire series are when Rand cleanses the Taint.
A few key points on characters, in my opinion:
[*]Make sure Mat gets laid in every town/village he visits. He does, basically, in the books. Make it more apparent.
[*]Drop the whole Perrin looking for Faile thing. Perrin goes from being my favourite character in the beginning half of the series to being my least-favourite in the ending half. Him defending The Two Rivers/Eamon's Field was awesome.
[*]Drop the whole misogynistic theme. Seriously.
[*]...there are probably more, if I think about it. I'm tired and have had two drinks tonight, so I'm not thinking clearly.

Brandon Sanderson is writing the last book. He's said that he's going to keep it to 300k words, appx. the amount of the other books. Harriet (RJ's wife) is editing it. I read a post by RJ (one of his last) on his website about how he knew his end was coming soon - he sat down with Harriet, someone at TOR, and a few various other family/friends and described (in 3+ hours) how the series ends, how he has envisioned it, etc. I think Sanderson will do the series justice.

The thing is the series didnt have to last so long

The only way to get the misogyny out of WoT would be to remove all the female characters or re-write every single thing said by every woman, ever.
They should make the movie based on the first three books and just end it there.

Haha!
This could actually work if it's handled right. Northern Lights/The Golden Compass wasn't that long but they still ballsed it up.
