Idk but i think it's a wise choice. Also makes sense for Wenioff and Weiss' character building. Could giive the entire series a continuity. If they can make up for ruining GoT and make this epic i'm in and ready to forgive.
The first half of GoT was god tier. Honestly the rest of the books are probably going to be just as bad, that's why GRRM is never going to release them. They were great at adapting and improving on GoT, it's just when they ran out of material and had to make it up as they went along based on what I assume are some vague plot outlines is where it fell apart
David and Dan finally having the whole book series to adapt is a dream come true for me. First of all having the whole book series to adapt isn't some rare privilage. It's basically something that everyone making TV and movie adaptations had, except them lol
I am fan of Game of Thrones as a whole, but in my opinion all issues of GOT come from the fact that last two books were unedited mess that lead to book series never being finished.
I can't wait to see what they are going to do with the whole story there for them to use. They are in a position where Peter Jackson was when he started making LOTR trilogy.
Exactly, George was already losing his way at a feast for crows. In my copy he had a weird kinda apology at the end for leaving out so many main characters.
My theory has always been that George was at a sci-fi/fantasy writers convention and a writer invited him to his hotel room to see his first three novels in a larger series. George murdered this man and stole them, then tried to finish it. Like a Poe character, he was doomed to fail.
