Frankly, the most interesting Targaryen centric story I can think of would be coming to Westeros and conquering it. And even that story I feel like would have a fairly low ceiling for amount of creative story telling. I’m still giving it a chance though, even after I determined I wasn’t going to because **** anything GRRM until he finishes ASOIAF. I’m weak, whatever. |

'Fire and Blood' is just a fairly run of the mill fantasy book - nothing much of note in there. Oh sure, there's a story arc and a climax, etc.... but it doesn't paint with the broad strokes that the ASOIF series did. It's...fine. I don't see it as viable source material for some massive TV undertaking. That's why I have more hope for the Lord of the Rings prequel; the material to mine is just better. But again - should they find a way to get Esme Bianco back in the show and keep her in various states of undress, it will cover for many sins. |

I thought it was awesome and was hoping it wouldn't end.
I'm easy to please but the CGI, sets, costume design, and acting all seemed good enough for me to stay immersed. I think not having read Fire & Blood is actually helping. I have no ****ing clue what's going to happen, just that it'll be bloody. |

I thought the first episode was pretty good. I never finished the books but I did love the show until d&d had to figure out how to end it and completely ate shit and made everyone reeruned. D&d having nothing to do with the new show is reassuring. I'm cautiously optimistic but I did lol at viserys telling rhaenyra about the white walkers and the long winter and how got handled that

Esme Bianco. Welp, never fight with the urge for an unexpected fap in the morning.

I don't even think the mother****er plans on finishing them. It wouldn't surprise me to hear that he stopped writing the book several years ago.
After he saw the reception to the end of GOT and how that ruined the entire show for a ton of people, I could see him being scared that people will hate it and tarnish the reputation of the series. I also think he just has too much going on. |
