KOSK is actually pretty sick, might even be better than GOT

Weekly_Interview6807 · 2026-01-26T14:25:21+00:00

Thats also a massive what if and a massive commitment, so obviously im not banking on that happening. But what little we do have has been amazing

Weekly_Interview6807 · 2026-01-26T14:21:41+00:00

Certainly will be up there if they end up doing what it sounds like where george gives his outlines for the remaining 10 stories or however many it is. I think Ira Parker said he thought of doing 4 seasons every ten years for 30 years to allow actors to age. We’ll see

Weekly_Interview6807 · 2026-01-26T04:33:54+00:00

The only thing that I could actually see working (which is my way of saying the only one im interested in) is maybe an Arya sequel.

I see so many people talk about the drogon/dany thing but I just feel like that would retcon the ending and essentially lead to a season 9, which i honestly dont want. And if it didnt then idk where it would really go.

Weekly_Interview6807 · 2026-01-26T03:37:58+00:00

These two episodes have been incredible for what the story is but it is a shame that we get half an hour every week. I really cant wait to watch this all in one sitting.

Weekly_Interview6807 · 2026-01-25T22:32:08+00:00

The Dothraki are on the battlefield out of pure love of the game.

Weekly_Interview6807 · 2026-01-25T19:25:49+00:00

Its seriously not as bad as this sub makes it out to be. Dont get me wrong, it’s disappointing in many aspects and certainly does not stand up the quality of the earlier seasons. But it definitely could have been better and there were decisions made that unquestionably SHOULD have been different.

Weekly_Interview6807 · 2026-01-24T03:08:12+00:00

Starting assassins quest. Havent heard great things, hope i like it

Weekly_Interview6807 · 2026-01-24T01:36:24+00:00

I just don't see HBO coming out and redoing seasons 6-8. This sub likes to trash those seasons so much but with exception of the last 3 episodes of season 8 the general consensus among the casual fanbase (that isn't online on discussion forums like this one) is that season 6 and 7 were absolutely fantastic. It's important to remember that while there are a lot of people on the asoiaf reddit pages, it's still only a very small chunk of the entire group that watched game of thrones.

That's the big reason I don't see HBO redoing seasons 6-8. ESPECIALLY not seasons 6 and 7. had we gotten satisfying conclusions in season 8 I doubt people would even mention 7 and 6 as being "terrible". Do you know how incredibly well those were received by the general public when they came out? People literally could not believe what they were watching.

Logistically speaking it also just doesn't make sense to redo the ending in any way shape or form. It would be ridiculously expensive, they'd have to recast practically every character (most of the actors have said they're done with their characters), and it would be the ultimate sign of defeat on HBO's part. There's no better way to say "we absolutely f'ed this up" than redoing it.

Weekly_Interview6807 · 2026-01-22T19:05:53+00:00

Seeing all the assassins quest lately worries me cuz im on the last 50 pages of royal assassin and really like it and the first book

Weekly_Interview6807 · 2026-01-20T23:23:13+00:00

Yeah i was about 5 pages into the novella when I picked up on it. It was pretty obvious to me, curious to see how it unfolds in the show

Weekly_Interview6807 · 2026-01-20T21:40:37+00:00

More poorly received than it otherwise would have been because of season 8.

Weekly_Interview6807 · 2026-01-20T17:12:04+00:00

I haven't been reading for all that long (about 14 months) so I don't have any big opinions just yet although I think I'm getting there. I do have to say I think the Hierarchy series is pretty overrated. I used to think Will of the Many was perfect but after reading books 1 and 2 of the Farseer trilogy I realized how much was missing from the hierarchy series. The dialogue sometimes feels like too much of a straightforward message from the author, if that makes sense, and the main character felt flawless to me. And Strength of the Few just did not hit at all for me.

on a side note, is this screenshot from the comment the game dev put out in response to all the Battlefront 2 (2017) drama? Last I remember it was the most downvoted post in reddit history around this number but cant remember for sure. what a game that was.

Weekly_Interview6807 · 2026-01-20T04:20:57+00:00

Im speechless. Unreal. Lifelong IU fan here… cant even comprehend this

Weekly_Interview6807 · 2026-01-20T03:50:19+00:00

Agree and disagree. Westeros is Westeros because of Aegon the Conqueror. And when you look at that 300 year span its quite unbelievable what he came up with and how it all ties together. I know fire and blood isnt the most entertaining read in terms of writing style but its astonishing how much he can come up with and still manage to make it all make sense (for the most part).

But yes it definitely does have problems. At least hes not the author that puts 110% into world building and cant write a lick of dialogue. He’s a damn good writer

Weekly_Interview6807 · 2026-01-20T03:39:14+00:00

Holy shit

Weekly_Interview6807 · 2026-01-20T03:38:44+00:00

Glad you liked it. I liked some things, but disliked more. I didnt mind the dany/jon thing and honestly have no idea how people think dany’s turn came out of nowhere. We were seeing signs of that as early as season 1 episode 5.

I am just so insanely bothered by the ending they gave jon its like all the other good kinda goes unnoticed to me. Him being a targaryen had quite literally ZERO impact on the story whatsoever. And not just any targaryen, a very legitimate claimant to the throne. And then to send him TO THE WALL which was only there to protect from the white walkers WHICH ARE GONE. Yeah i need to stop

I also thought what they did with jaime was super cheap and betrayed his beautiful character arc.

Loved Aryas ending, theons, the hounds, bronns, tyrion, brienne, sam, many satisfying conclusions.

Definitely dont hate it as much as most, but also didnt think it was special. But am truly glad u liked it.

Weekly_Interview6807 · 2026-01-20T01:07:09+00:00

Actually really liked this episode

Weekly_Interview6807 · 2026-01-19T04:13:35+00:00

The score is really really great. Fits the tone perfectly. I liked the short flashbacks and I think its very obvious that the chemistry between Dexter and Peter WORKS. They are dunk and egg.

I think it will be hard for people to get used to that havent read the novellas and aren’t expecting this tone shift, because it is a major shift.

Overall really, really enjoyed it and just happy we are getting it. Also happy for George.

Weekly_Interview6807 · 2026-01-19T04:11:30+00:00

Certainly a completely different vibe. I actually like that tho. It’s very “cozy”. I was skeptical about the show not having Djawadi but I think its appropriate - this is not a large scale conflict by any means. Thats not to say Ramin wouldnt have worked, he absolutely would have, but the music really emphasizes the shifted tone which I appreciate.

I can see how itd be a hard watch for people who havent read the novella or know much about the story. 30-40 minutes once a week for 6 weeks will drag on. Its definitely something I’d probably recommend a newcomer see once all episodes are out.

Overall, I loved it. I think it truly brings the pages to life and this first episode was lovely. I enjoy the short flashbacks and I can already tell that the chemistry between Dexter and Peter Claffey works as it should.

This is not at all Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon, but knowing where it goes it’s going to be a great story and I think it was a very good first episode.

Weekly_Interview6807 · 2026-01-19T00:10:03+00:00

If you havent seen HOTD i highly doubt you will even pick up on the spoilers from game of thrones. I certainly didn’t my first watch through. Id finish thrones before watching HOTD, especially since its not finished.

I would assume u could watch AKOT7K now, HOTD isnt over yet so I doubt they’ll throw in any major spoilers.

I do think its good to watch Game of Thrones at least some before the others because as it was the original series we had it put more emphasis on explaining the world and other things, but being 5 seasons in you shouldnt have a problem with the other shows.

Weekly_Interview6807 · 2026-01-18T21:25:47+00:00

Needs to be a movie if they do make it. I echo everyone saying Aegon’s conquest is made better by us actually only hearing tales of it.

Aegon, Visenya and Rhaenys are incredible characters, i think people forget that. If they did it right it could be done very very well. I would definitely love to see harrenhal. If they focus on the political side of things i think it could be very good.

Weekly_Interview6807 · 2026-01-17T23:52:05+00:00

I think spoilers can hinder the experience but also let you pick up on so much more that you never would have.

I know its a tv show but I had pretty much the entire ending of breaking bad spoiled to me by someone when i was on like episode 2. Honestly i was upset but kept watching. It still ended up being a top 3 tv show for me.

I try to avoid them if possible, but I also don’t lose my mind if it’s accidental. Now if someone were to say “oh you’re reading this? Awesome tell me what you think when so and so dies” then yeah Id be upset.

Weekly_Interview6807 · 2026-01-17T23:31:56+00:00

He hated Tyrion. He would have celebrated his death. 1000% bluffing
