Discussion on Adaptations of the Series.

I have a few IRL friends that read the series and besides myself they would all love to see film adaptations of the books. At first thought this sounds like a wonderful idea. After thinking about it more and more thought I find that a TV series would be much better suited for mapping out the character development and interactions. And with the recent success of Game of Thrones I wouldn't be surprised if production rights were snapped up if they aren't already. I was just interested to see what others opinions were!
