dont even fink about it posted:

Good show ideas:

- Doom of Valyria
- Show focusing on earlier Wall history, so we can finally get some loving ice spiders
- Dorne, to wash the taste out of our mouths and maybe do something with the Dorne/Targaryen wars
- Adventures of [fan favorite character who presumably survives season 8] or Adventures of Young [Character that didn't]
- One hour a week of Charles Dance non-stop telling other characters that they're dumbasses and will never amount to anything

Bad show ideas:

- Robert's Rebellion (we know what happens and it's written around being setup)
- Smallfolk Livin' a Life, nobody really cares about civies

Dance of the Dragons aka Targ civil war would be a good candidate for a spinoff imo.

Agreed that Robert's Rebellion would be lame.

Those things are great ideas, but suffer from the same thing that's made this last few seasons loving shite less good than the earlier ones: no source material. A Song of Ice and Fire does already have a spin off book series on the other hand, Dunk and Egg.

GRRM might be a fat lazy prick, but when he can actually be arsed he constructs a story hell of a lot loving better than D&D left to their own devices.

e: ^^^heh, while I was typing. And also debating whether calling GRRM a fat lazy prick was okay.^^^

I take the perhaps too-optimistic view that a show without a direct GRRM bible to work from won't be bad just because post-book GoT is bad. (Some of the reasons that s5-s7 are bad are because of the setup from those books or lack thereof, too). I wouldn't expect it to automatically be s1-s4 good but I'm willing to be pleasantly surprised on that account also.

After the men of the Vale disperse, Sansa walks up to examine the corpse. The skin above the gash in his neck is peeling off, like a mask. She gasps in horror as his face comes off to reveal that he was actually Arya all along. Her eyes dart to Arya, who peels off her own face to reveal she is actually Littlefinger.

Littlefinger makes his escape into the Stark Crypts. Then Sansa peels off her face to reveal Arya which shocks Littlefinger and creates an opening for the statue of Ned Stark to slit his throat and take off its face to reveal Sansa.

It's pretty obvious that this whole fancy drama thing isn't GoT's strong suit, so they should really just go formulaic but with a GoT paint job:

The Citadel: Follow the lives of the Maesters, consisting of ego clashes, inappropriate behavior, and tedium.
Dead by Dawn: Arthur Dayne, Sword of the Morning, races against the clock to subvert plots against the throne and save his realm from ultimate disaster.
Chain: An antisocial maverick maester who specializes in medicine, does whatever it takes to solve puzzling cases that come his way.

I'm sure you could come up with dozens of easy spin-offs like that, which all have the advantage of not requiring nearly as many sets or CGI.

An Ice and Fire anthology series would be fuckin great and would hopefully allow HBO to avoid endlessly meandering storylines and retarded characters

So, uuhhhh, how do you normally determine if characters are engaging without having seen a TV show?

e: if you're worried about HBO ruining things, Dunk and Egg is your best bet. Read it if you haven't

We've talked about it before but gently caress I'm bored and TNF always sucks, what are your thoughts on how they made the NK look like Bran?

Are they going to do a Wheel of Time-esque ending (no spoilers just in case)? I mean it was a pretty big design change between seasons. Maybe him touching Bran melded them together?

I know this show can be stupid but:



That's a huge change and totally Bran face. If they did a Daario like change I could pass it off as nothing, but come on they're totally going for a Bran look there.

I'm ok with whatever ending the show pulls off.

If it's a good ending then I can finally have closure on the book series that will never end.

If it's a poo poo ending that riles people up then I can get a t-shirt that reads "I was there when Twitter went down"
