Good news!

(Not GoT, the next 10 books in Wild Cards)

Looking forward to a greyscale pandemic taking over Westros.

Oh i know. I saw this thread bumped and it reminded me how i was so fed up after the penultimate episode i just kinda wiped the entire thing from my mind. And since i have even less interest in the books, the whole thing has been a waste of time. Hand to god, this thread is probably the best GoT experience I've had.

It was amazing how it was such a huge thing for eight years and then <crickets>

No-one even talks about the good parts. Just wiped from the collective conscious.

It's already doomed. They can't use any of the established characters or lore so it's going to be like GoT but if they weren't allowed to use any of the books as source material.

quote:

the author's estate has refused to allow the writers anywhere other than the Second Age, with even the First Age – everything before Morgoth was overthrown – "off limits".

"Amazon has a relatively free hand when it comes to adding something [to the Second Age], since… very few details are known about this timespan," ...

"The Tolkien estate will insist that the main shape of the Second Age is not altered. Sauron invades Eriador, is forced back by a Númenorean expedition, returns to Númenor. There he corrupts the Númenoreans and seduces them to break the ban of the Valar. All this, the course of history, must remain the same."

Gandalf doesn't arrive in Middle-Earth until the Third Age so the only linking characters they can use are a couple of the elves.
