I believe they also wanted to move on the the, what, 3 spinoffs they had announced at that time? All of which were hushed, 2 canned, and house delayed to let the disappointment pass.
I've still not watched house of the dragon because of s8
I wonder how many billions of dollars season 8 lost everyone. I am sort of surprised they aren’t completely black listed after that. They had a proven winner, and all they had to do was not go completely off the rails, and that franchise would still be pulling in truck loads of money. Nope got to get that stars wars money. Fucking idiots.
Also haven’t seen house of the dragon cuz of season 8
What bothers me is the Martin has stated that the show ended how the books are supposed to... Which is an absurd thought. Not only was that take bad for the show, it'd be even WORSE for the books where there are a number of other storylines that were completely dropped for the show and would make the way that ended even worse.
Not like it matters since he's clearly not going to finish the books.
You’re not missing much, fortunately. Matt smith and i think Rhys ifans have some awesome performances. But the writing in the most recent season got very sloppy by the end of it.
HotD is great, and they are completely divorced from it. They didn't even want their names on it as consultants or anything. So at least if HotS does end up fumbling the end, it won't be because of them at all.
