I really, really hope they'll (assuming it's TNK) stick to their promise of adapting directly from the source material. Fuck the inconsistencies, play it out exactly like it occurs in the novels and then if you really want to go back and do justice to 5-7, do a reboot at a future time.

As for character designs... season 2's were particularly good, but BorN shattered most potential hope for me, so we can only wait.
