The SNL weekend update with Cecily Strong grilling Bobby Moynihan as GRRM about why he still hadn’t finished the 6th book was 7 years ago & the 6th book still isn’t close. The book series is done as is.

I don't think he's as lazy as he is scared. I honestly think he's terrified that that he won't live up to the hype, and is terrified of the risk of rejection on that. I think Patrick Rothfuss is trying to pull the same crap....try and get $ out of what he has via media rights, and promise to finish it later (never).

It looks like he’s written 1,000+ pages of prequel novellas that are going to be the basis for some of the new HBO shows. He knew that’s where the money was going & has been prepping to cash in on new shows.

him writing like 3 or 4 whole other books on the side is easily the most infuriating part of not finishing ice and fire.

I don't care, hope he's enjoying life

I support both him and his haters. Let the writers write (or not in this case) and the haters hate.

What are our thoughts about the new show tonight? I can’t decide if I’m going to watch, or wait a few weeks and see if it’s crap or not

I think it will be good

I'm excited and I think it has great potential, too.

I’ll be watching

mocat · « **Reply #614 on:** August 22, 2022, 08:01:51 AM »

it started off pretty clunky but by the end it was good. been a fan of paddy considine since hot fuzz, lol. he was great in the first ep.

I was worried I wouldn't be able to get through that one scene, but it wasn't as bad as I feared. I don't like the actor playing Daemon. Hopefully that just sucks me in more since he's the bad guy and we're supposed to dislike him.

I like Paddy Considine, too. I remember him from The Outsider.

I’ve decided to wait a few weeks and see what goEMAW thinks before I start watching

I wanted to jokingly ask, "Is that Neil Patrick Harris?" But then I was afraid to ask in case it actually was NPH.

You guys never watch the Crown? sheesh

bucket · « **Reply #620 on:** August 28, 2022, 09:08:36 PM »

It's weird to say, but the CGI was beautiful in this episode. I'm also looking forward to learning more about the crab people.

Cire · « **Reply #621 on:** August 28, 2022, 09:22:39 PM »

I love it

Yep. Very fun. Crab people seem interesting. I am also hoping for some Ricken Stark and Knights Watch moments.

nicname · « **Reply #623 on:** August 29, 2022, 01:05:14 PM »

It’s absolutely filling a tv void I wasn’t sure was fillable. It’s like the 2011 cat football squad.

Spracne · « **Reply #624 on:** August 29, 2022, 05:10:43 PM »

Yep. I'll keep watching. The world sure feels smaller, though. Hopefully they introduce more characters/chaos soon.
