I finished the first book.
I thought it was an okay book.
I didnt watch the tv show completely.
I wish he would just hunker down and finish.
I didn’t start watching the show until it was already several seasons in. I thought it was great until they got past what Martin had written.

I think I got to the place when they melted the big sword into two small sword, then I kind of gave up on the show.

Season 4 premiere after the red wedding
reply
I think I got to somewhere around there and I just kind of lost interest.
I really enjoyed seeing Bron and the Hound.
reply
I feel like that was pretty early.
reply
It was only a couple seasons in.
What season was when they didnt have material to go off of?
reply
That was the last two seasons, I believe.
reply
The last two seasons are not so good?
Actually, I tried house of dragons and that isnt so bad.
reply
that was also written by GRRM. One of the things he did instead of finishing the series was write a "history of Westeros", which this is based on.
reply
Yes, I know.
I find it disappointing that he hasnt published more.
He seems to get too distracted with other things.
My wife and I didn’t even finish the first episode.
I don’t think we have much of an appetite for that kind of gruesomeness anymore.

I am not going to lie, I like science fiction/fantasy that are made with low budget.
The rawness is so much better.
Seasons 6 to 8
reply
He did clue them into what should happen, right?
reply
He did but Benioff and Weiss can’t write original content and dialogue
Yes!
Absolutely!
Last 3 seasons were subpar
Final season was awful
Benioff and Weiss were clearly done with the show before the final season. They should have passed the baton to another show runner
reply
I heard the tv show didnt end well.
GRRM said he would write the ending differently.
reply
Season 8 was a huge disappointment. The show runners mailed it in
reply
Wasnt he supposed to write everything by the time they got to season 6?
reply
George gave them an outline
reply
Then why isnt he writing his book faster if he already had an outline made?
reply
Writer’s block?
