The Pitch Meeting does a humorous job of explaining
As for me the whole progression of Season 8 and the waiting for the sixth and seventh books from George RR Martin has been a bit exhausting. I own copies of all five of the current books on my Kindle and also a box set of the books. I've read each book at least twice but after Season 8 of the HBO show and years of waiting for the next book to come out I'm pretty much done with Game of Thrones. I can see myself maybe picking up the new books in a decade or so (if they ever come out) but definitely not anytime soon.
I have to think David Benioff and DB Weiss the TV producers and showrunners have to be privately pissed off at George RR Martin. When they started this project 9 or 10 years ago they had to have thought Martin would have at least the next book in the series done by now. But nope! Benioff and Weiss had to basically just wing the past two seasons and most of the show's fan's displeasure has been focused on them when I think George RR Martin is where the blame should really rest.
Think of it - if George RR Martin died tomorrow the first line of his obituary wouldn't say he was the author of the Game of Thrones series but that he failed to write the final books!
One minor detail that I'm curious about was if casinos and betting sites had a prop bet for who would sit on the Iron Throne at the end of the season - did they pay off for Bran or for no one? Technically Dany touched the Iron Throne but didn't sit on it before Drogon melted the damn thing. The Iron Throne ceased to be before Bran became king.
I'll just add that to the long list of things that were never resolved or explained.
Someone gave me the first three books 15 years ago. They failed to tell me it wasn't a trilogy. No problem, the next book is coming out right after I finished the third one! Oh, wait, no it's not, it's coming out a year later and it's half of a book, and it kind of sucks. Fuck George R.R. Martin, I haven't even read Dances With Dragons and probably never will. On top of that, he's an asshole and a progressive, but I repeat myself.
ReplyDeleteThat was hilarious, though. Now I won't have to watch the damn thing.
