I started to have real issues during 5-6 nossy Send a noteboard - 23/04/2017 10:08:08 AM

View original postI just can't see them making the rest of it without making it suck the way the later books did, so I'm not sure there's a point to it. Maybe if they made Taim Demandred and reworked the entire later books to make an 8-season series with books 1-6 each one season, then 2 more to make a better and more dynamic ending...

But much of what I dislike would be lost in a tv series anyway. My hope would be that the last few books could be cleaned up for tv, and returned to "Jordan". He was excellent at some things, and we obviously lost that in the forced wrap-up that we got. So, cut the crap, enhance the stories that should have been finalized properly ... I'm optimistic about this. What scares me is the actor selection, whether favorite people and scenes will be right, etc. Same with any adaptation.

I have a lot of love for 1-4ish, which we have to watch before we get to the parts I dislike. nossy - 22/04/2017 08:38:39 PM 886 Views
I stand by the assertion that 1-6 were great reads. Tom - 23/04/2017 12:32:34 AM 942 Views
They've rewritten aSoIaF and people have been generally happy. Maybe they'd be okay with this. *NM* Ghavrel - 23/04/2017 05:06:42 AM 473 Views

Yeah, the lack of tits and ass will make it a hard sell (cross-pun intended) *NM* Tom - 25/04/2017 09:40:47 PM 550 Views
If it's good it'll be nice to watch, but can't say I'm that excited about it. Legolas - 20/04/2017 11:22:50 PM 922 Views
