Bearguy Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 As you are all aware G-O-T is coming to an end. Does anyone have any thoughts about what could replace it ? And, for any movie/tv people out there you can use my idea free of charge ! I vote for " The Dumarest Saga", a series of books set in a far, far distant time about a guy who is trying to get back to his home planet. Lots of blood, violence and sex, and a group of baddies ! I started reading the series in the late 70s, but time and television seem to have passed it by ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ET80 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I'm personally interested in what HBO has in mind with Watchmen. The graphic novel and movie were both well ahead of their time, so the TV show could be another big hit. Also - this topic could be better served in the Entertainment forum. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearguy Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 Thanks for that heads up, I will try to find that book series. And, being a senile non-techie, if I knew how to move it to Entertainment, I would. But I am still getting used to a quill pen and sheets of parchment. Maybe a moderate minded moderator will take pity on me and magic it to the correct place. Thanks 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Wish I could, but the powers that be know I'd break something with THAT much power. @pwny, @MrDrew - can you oblige us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearguy Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 @pwny, and MrDrew, I hope that you can oblige, otherwise ET 80 will be angry, and then you know what happens when he gets angry ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywindO2 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) This guy is too polite for this forum. Alliteration is the easiest way to get a football from me too. I don't see anything immediately filling the void that GOT leaves behind when it's finished but something will rise up and be the next big thing within 2-3 years.

Thanks for the kind words about my being polite. My mum told me that I should be polite to strangers ! However, once you become a friend the politeness disappears as quickly as snowflakes in the Sahara. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearguy Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 You are going to be awarded a bronze (plastic), star for adding a series to my " must read" list. I would have been a Gold (real gold) medal, until I read that it has already been commissioned by Sony/Amazon, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
