Dwide Schrude Posted October 6, 2021 Share Posted October 6, 2021 I’m excited. It says on google that premiere date is January 1st but I don’t think that’s confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike030270 Posted October 8, 2021 Author Share Posted October 8, 2021 I've been procrastinating on reading the Fire & Blood book. It's been on my shelf for years. Going to need to get into it soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to need to get into it soon I've started it twice. Read the first 10 pages or so a few years ago shortly after it came out. Read a hundred pages a few months ago after I finished a second read through of the first 5 books hoping it would scratch my GoT itch. It's tough. The entire thing is written as if it's a history book... I'll probably give it another go eventually, but I feel like the actual series does a decent enough job at telling the story of the Targaryen dynasty that a detailed history book isn't all that necessary. It's actually infuriating that GRRM would spend time on something like that before finishing the original series. Fat ahole. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were a conspiarcy guy I'd say he already wrote them but wants to release posthumously so they don't burn him at the stake for what's in it.

Going to need to get into it soon Like KZ, I couldn't get through it. If you want a good quick read about some of the Targaryen roots, go with this one. It's really good. The protagonist, Sir Duncan the Tall, is referenced in the first season of GoT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually almost finished Fire and Blood Some parts dragged about the descendants and some of them were really interesting I was hoping the show was going to start at the beginning with Aegon and his sisters taking Westeros but it actually starts off many generations after that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTW Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 A big risk with a show like that is recapturing the magic of the things that made GOT enjoyable. It's bad when they try to kind of copy/paste but with a tweak on certain things and not do something original. Like GOT had a lot of interesting and well developed side characters in addition to the core cast. It can be very difficult for a spinoff show to stand on its own when everything will be compared to the original. I don't know the books, but hopefully they have a good core of characters we'll be invested in. You go into it expecting GOT the Wish version and hopefully surprised by a quality show.

homerpat Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 They need to figure out how BCS was able to follow BB and how to differentiate with still allowing same universal feel. That should be a blueprint for all future prequels or sequels. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon? multiple?) were offering a $50 promo to digitally purchase all 8 seasons in 4k about 1-2 weeks back. I bought the disc+digital packages throughout its run, so i have something like seasons 1-6 in HD(1080) digital and blu ray and then just the final 1-2 seasons in UHD/BluRay with 4k digital... but i feel like whenever you own something on digital thats HD, entering a new upload code for the 4k digital says "you already own a copy of this" -- so a direct digital purchase just seemed like it would be a waste of $50 to potentially have nothing change with the streaming quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I just subscribed to HBO max in advance of this coming out. Any other suggestions? You’d like "Winning Time” about the Lakers. I hate the Lakers but loved the show.
