If by "another project" you mean "an adaptation of the Three Body Problem" and by "some point" you mean "scheduled to release in March on Netflix," then yes.

I’m sure they are handling the complex and nuanced source material with the care that it deserves.

i mean the show basically took a nosedive after they got past the books, didn't they? i've never read the got books and i never will, but that's the impression i got.

it's funny how afterwards they did an interview/panel discussion/whatever where they straight-up admitted they were both too incompetent to do it right and too arrogant to accept any help, when they came in under the contractual minimum for content and refused HBO's offers to help staff up the writers' room. they proudly said they cut as much of the nerd poo poo (magic etc) as they could and in the same conversation admitted they ripped off the fans' ideas for casting.

and yet, i'm certain their careers are not over, i'm sure they will get on another project at some point because they are rich white boys and they can only ever fail upward.

I'm sure you're right about the show stuff, but the books also took a nosedive with #4. #5 recovered a bit yet was still weak.

Also it's crazy how many dream sequences there are in the books. Whenever Martin needs to fill a page, a character just remembers having a vaguely-symbolic dream. Put all the dream sequences and rambling banner descriptions together and that's a book right there.

coincidently? randomly? I fell off the show once it went past the books. I think I've probably seen enough of it to get what the finale was. But yeah, I was a hardcore GRRM fan before the show came out. THen, same as everyone, "oh. well, he'll never write the rest."

House of Dragons was pretty okay. Crab man was good. And the leader of the Iron Isles, or whatever. Doctor Who was a good bad guy. Is? I can't remember if he died.
i know there were dragons. a veritable house of them.

I think HoD was like 7-8 generations before GoT? I wonder how many generations they'll skip until the series finale and we get daenerys from GoT born, or whatever.

Just, collective disgust

Last week I went on a binge watching interviews of the cast and comic con panels and man those poor poor actors got hosed so hard.

They basically knew their characters were being told to do dumb poo poo that made no sense, and the idiot show runners either killed them off on the show or ignore them.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Alicent Targaryen née Hightower absolutely consents to Larry Strong's wanking to her feet, in exchange for him spying for her. Seven hells it's like y'all haven't even watched the series.

Near as I can tell, Martin really, really hates the fact that Game of Thrones/Ice and Fire ended up his biggest hit. He wasn't that happy about that even before the show made it huge. It's a bit like how Arthur Conan Doyle always thought of himself as the guy who writes historical fiction (his 'White Company' book and others) and only did detective stories on the side. I think GRRM is perfectly satisfied with writing videogames and fiddling with his weird superhero collaborative writing universe until the end. So the show loving up isn't the real reason he won't do it. It's probably just the best excuse.

Maybe he'll make that Tuf Voyaging sequel, instead (but probably not that, either).
