May 23, 20241 yr He just needs to forget the last 2 seasons of the show exist and have Aegon fuck everything up. Stoneheart too.
May 23, 20241 yr Seems like Martin can’t say no to money. He keeps adding project after project, even when stretched thin as it is. I wouldn’t be surprised if he never wrote another book.

I’m not saying writing for TV is easy, but it’s a hell of a lot easier than finishing one of the most complex series of novels ever written. I don’t think he’ll finish, and his estate will piece together his notes, edit them, and release some half assed version of the final 2 books. He’s currently 75 and extremely wealthy. I think he could live another 15 years within reason. So we’re probably a good 20 years away from any semblance of a conclusion in the books.

May 23, 20241 yr While we're piling on, can Season 2 please have fewer graphic, child birthing scenes? Gracias.

Maybe Amazon will license bits and pieces and make a super awesome tv series out of it.

June 10, 20241 yr That's pretty cool. I wonder how many idiots are freaking out about it because they have no idea what it means.
June 10, 20241 yr Two years is too long to try to remember all of this stuff, especially when everyone looks like someone else and have ridiculously similar names. I re-watched S1 from E7 on. Gave me everything I needed to watch S2.

I feel like an idiot for watching all of the first season. 1 hour ago, BeardIP said: I watched S1 (and plan on watching S2) and am confused by what it means because I hardly remember anything. The trailers seem to be overcorrecting for the confusion in Season 1. Fight for the true king! We fight for the king! War is bloody. GOT used dragons cleverly by alluding to their power and making you think they were in the past. We then spend seasons awaiting and anticipating what Danyrs' dragons will be like and what they will do. It was breathtaking when one attacked with the Dothraki. Now they're all over the fucking place and I think of them as CGI elements. That they can incinerate an entire army makes them sort of like atom bombs. Who would ever march or go into battle in close order in the face of a dragon attack? I'll see what y'all say about Season 2. I could be drawn in if convinced it's not another tedious season posing and screaming births (that seems to be the new gratuitous element in movies and TV now; maybe it will replcace actors vomitting whenever they hear bad news.).

June 10, 20241 yr Quote Now they're all over the fucking place and I think of them as CGI elements. Exactly. Even GoT towards the end fell into the trap of climactic moments being "oh shit, a dragon!" This show leans into the strategy even more. You just know one of those MFers will swoop in just before the sword falls on our hero or anti-hero

I re-watched S1 from E7 on. Gave me everything I needed to watch S2. Watched episodes 7-10 the last 2 days, the perfect spot to start the rewatch. Took a bit for me to remember some of the back story, but by the end of 7 it was coming back. I feel like I enjoyed the rewatch much more than I enjoyed watching the show the 1st time, probably has to do with the first ~4 episodes being boring. The last 4 episodes were a lot of fun and now I'm genuinely excited for Sunday night.
June 15, 20241 yr I know the strikes are largely to blame, but HBO can’t go 2 years without any new episodes of their franchise series. I’m happy it’s back, but Season 3 better premiere in Spring 2025.

June 17, 20241 yr Spoiler They changed Blood and Cheese. Sigh. A Gold Cloak wasn’t involved in the book. Also they watered it down. This was supposed to the Red Wedding moment for this show, and they just didn’t have the balls to do it. Fine.
June 17, 20241 yr Spoiler I'm not sure balls had anything to do with it, I don't think they can show THAT happening on TV without the FCC barking up your ass.

Spoiler The queen’s choice which child goes is the true tension in that scene. And we get some weak ass finger pointing. It’s a traumatic, terrible moment in the book. This was very anticlimactic.

I haven't read the book, so her being super autistic about this whole thing was just par for the course for me given how she has been portrayed so far

The queen is eccentric in the book. Definitely weird, but brilliant and respected for her fortune telling. To make her I guess an invalid is a choice the showrunners made.
June 17, 20241 yr The gruesomeness of the scene has to be dialed down was explained in this articlehttps://ew.com/blood-cheese-house-of-the-dragon-season-2-book-changes-explained-exclusive-8663564 Edited June 17, 20241 yr by Haphap
