I think it's the topic of this one more than anything to be honest. I think book readers would have a ton of interest in Dunk and Egg, and the Dance of Dragons. But this prequel basically had no support from the written text as very little is talked about with regards to the long night in the books, and the little that is mentioned is pretty speculative and unreliable, thus the show runners and tv people would have had basically a completely blank canvas to work with.

August4th Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) looks like this GOT prequel will get a series Quote The prequel is set 300 years before the events of the flagship series that tracks the beginnings and the end of House Targaryen. Emilia Clarke earned four Emmy nominations for her role as fan-favorite Daenerys Targaryen. Martin and Condal will pen the script for the drama, which is based on Martin's book Fire & Blood. Miguel Sapochnik, who earned an Emmy for helming "The Battle of the Bastards" episode, will direct the pilot and additional episodes. Vince Gerardis will also exec produce. Sapochnik and Condal will serve as co-showrunners. House of the Dragon will be the first project to stem from a new overall deal that Sapochnik has signed with HBO, in which he'll develop and produce content for both HBO and HBO Max.

No, but I was hoping they’d spend that budget on something else instead. Like a The Thing miniseries. Or maybe an epic space opera. Or an HBO horror series. Who TF wants to watch Game of Thrones when we know what happens and who lives and who dies when instead we could be watching something better instead?

I HATE prequels. I get furious at the very mention of prequels. They make no sense to me at all. If there’s a story worth telling, START WHERE IT IS WORTH TELLING.

Well I guess when you turn the main boss of the Long Night into a total pushover I suppose they stop caring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
