      Which in my opinion proves the point. GoT is just telling the story. Doesn't matter that it hasn't been released in novel form. I know people are criticising S7 for being lightweight and blaming that on thin source material, but I think it's more to do with the necessity of finishing the damn thing.

          But at what cost?

          I mean come on, headlessly marching bejond the wall to catch an undead to show Cersey, without a plan and such. In the books a stupid action like this would have been punished and everybody involved would have died a horrible death. Not just some side characters that no one cares about and some extras.

          The problem is not that they finish the story in another media format. The problem is, that they can't keep the high standard without G.R.R.M. source material. At least it seems like it.

          As for the Lord of the Rings, this is the best (corrected) adaption of the books I know:

          😉

            ^haha…

            Totally see your point about GoT. Thing is though we know don't know what Martin has/had planned. Could be that was all his idea. The problem with Martin is his perfectionism and/or inability to finish things has created this situation. In any case GoT will run for eight seasons, and if they hadn't started finishing it now then I suspect things would have suffered anyway. Which show runs for eight seasons these days? Martin can use as many books as he likes to finish (although I doubt it'll ever happen, which is a shame as I've enjoyed the books), but the TV guys don't have that luxury in terms of viewer satisfaction, logistics and probably studio backing.

            I'm happy with the show. It's been great fun and I'm more than willing to entertain silliness and ignore plot holes in exchange for ice breathing zombie dragons, and the rest of the awesomeness. And not least for the fact it's actually going to end properly.

              THE DEUCE - Darlene

              New documentary series on PBS about the Vietnam war, lazily named THE VIETNAM WAR…

              You should be able to stream them on their website: http://www.pbs.org/kenburns/the-vietnam-war/home/

              BOJACK HORSEMAN - I'm not sure whether there are any fans here... It's a little crude now and then (especially at first), but it keeps getting better...

                                    @Seul @sabergirl  Assuming you're both up to date with ep.3 of The Deuce, are either of you worried about the development of Darlene? Hooker with a heart of gold, and the most unstable, insecure pimp starts reading and looking to develop herself. And this is a David Simon show. I'm getting strong "Where's Wallace String?" vibes. Or am I just overly concerned because she's so adawbs?

                                      I'm hoping she's going to get to talking with the journalist! I do recognize the danger she's in, though. I hope she's being developed for a long arc, even if her fate is tragic.
