    I haven’t read the books but I did enjoy season 1.

    My main concern though is that the show is being run by the same fuckups who ruined Game of Thrones, so it would not surprise me if they end up just really biffing the conclusion.

      To be fair, they were fine when adapting the books. It’s when there was no source material for the ending and they had to do their own writing that they failed.

        Well, “fine.”

        “Your sister” and “Bad poosey” are lines that still stick with me despite still being in “book territory” at the time.

        A lot of the other things, like some very important dropped characters, made the experience that much worse. They really bungled up Dorne, because they left out half of the Dornish.
