The Silmarillion is my favorite book of all time, but tWoT nudges out the Middle Earth stories as my favorite overall epic.

I am not going to even start Rothfuss unless he finishes it, and his fans are happy with the finish...I read tSoIaF through #3, but I am not reading anymore of it after the show showed what a crap ending Martin has in store for his readers.

The Wheel of Time has so many powerful moments it is mind blowing.

Man, I devoured Rothfuss. Sooooo good.

Read The Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne if you haven’t, great series.

I will have to go on your faith, because I just don't see it.

I am afraid it would get really ugly if they had a better offense. I just hope we can play a competitive game and not get destroyed this time. They are just stacked everywhere, and we are as thin as it gets with big holes everywhere.

I believe Heupel can/will get us there in time, but this game, this year is going to be rough...

But I would love for you and Bass to be right.

I'd love to be right too, but it is just faith. If we stand a chance at all, I think this is probably how we get there.

Nailed this take. I've been waiting for this show for so long that there's no way it will live up to what I want but the fundamental changes to the plot and stupid woke BS is probably going to infuriate me and make me feel like Jordan is rolling over in his grave. I also hate the idea of cramming 2000 pages of story into an 8 episode season, but I understand why they have to. Watered down woke shite that loosely resembles my favorite story is what I'm expecting.

I hope HBO converts more fantasy series to shows. They make great series and there is a huge market for it and so many great series. The Gentleman Bastards series would translate well.

What is so dumb to me is WoT is so equal to start with...there was no reason to do that to it.

The Trollocs look awesome though and it doesn't look cheap, so I am holding out some hope it will be decent on its own merits.

I thought Martin didn't agree or like how they ended GoT? Thought I read somewhere he had a different plan.

He consulted on the ending based on what he had planned. I think he just tried to save face with fans who were upset. Epically stupid move on his part not to finish the books before the TV series ended.

Yeah, but I thought both sides said they diverged? Could be a ploy to keep people buying the books, but I hope he gives the books a different ending.

I like the approach you are taking and I'm going to try to do the same so I can have a chance to enjoy it. I'm also excited about the upcoming Middle Earth tv series.

Frustrated that most of the prequel series to GoT got scrapped. Now they have waited too long. I was really wanting to see The Long Night series. Hope they do the Old Valyria series.
