re: GoT- "Age of Heroes" pilot coming to HBO

Zero interest.

I stopped reading after Feast for Crows with no intention of continuing until it's completed (by Brandon Sanderson).

My wife digs the show, so I don't mind finishing it but I hate every creative direction they've gone in since they passed the books. They are arse writers.

If your going to do a Got show you have to either do an old Valeria show, or, my personal thought, do a show about the shadow lands and the far far unknown east

This, I've always thought how beautiful this could and assumed it would happen soon.

It's hard for me to get exited because of the way they're mailing it in to rush the ending.

I'll definitely give it a shot, but I am extremely skeptical that it will be able to deliver even a fraction of what GoT did. Their main priority is absolutely writing one hell of a script, and then finding the right actors/actresses to get the audience emotionally invested ASAP. It's almost a scaled-up version of the burden TD1 had on 2.. except in this case it's multi seasons.

Anyways I digress. I have always thought the Shadowlands, Asshai, and Sothoryos was so cool, especially the occasional talk of it once being an area of huge civilizations ahead of their time but eventually dying out. And Sosothos was just basically a natural death wish from any who dared go there.

My biggest wish after having experienced GoT, is that I wish a new writer would come along one day that myabe a writer as great as

I'd have bet money that the first spinoff would be Dunk and Egg, but this is actually more interesting per se because we don't clearly know what happens in a lot of the stories.

We know what's going to happen at the end of Dunk and Egg's adventures.

Yes, no shite. They die. Good job being the one to state what readers all knew without having to hear it.

That’s actually a very controversial Crackpot theory. It was kind of a pun.

I know, but I was trying to avoid saying anything specific.

The more I think about it, the less I like the idea. I’m afraid they’re going to clump a bunch of potentially mythical characters into a very small, unrealistic time frame (considering the supposed age should last over many years). It will be silly if we see Lann the Clever, Bran the Builder, etc. all just chilling at the same time.

Yeah, it’s disputed whether Lann was an Andal or First Men, which if it’s even disputed would probably make Lann living closer to Aegon the Conquerer than Bran the Builder.
