Let's Play Nice....Fuck off!!!

My posts about the recent castings have drawn plenty of comments, which is great.

But they have also brought out the trolls... or, to give some of them the benefit of the doubt, some thoughtless and rude posters.

I don't mind readers posting their opinions, even critical opinions. But I do expect posters to show a certain amount of respect. ( Read more... )

Been a while since George has talked about his book. I guess the TV show is taking up all of his time. The castings are okay. I have to admit that Arya looks like a good pick. But folks this tv series is going to do nothing but delay the books further. BTW I don't think he minds. He wants the book to come out at the same time as his hollywood series so in the meanwhile more trips to Ireland.

George R.R. Martin makes me cry tears of blood.

To be fair, I expect that post was aimed at people who made rude comments about the acting choices on those recent threads, not at us, his usual detractors, specifically ( ... )

To me, there is no way this tv series CANNOT delay the writing of the books. Martin has constant demands on his time already that are far less "important" than keeping HBO happy.

Let's say Martin is into a Dany chapter. He gets a phone call from someone at HBO, needing his input as a consultant as to whether Ned would say a particular line of dialogue. Martin takes it under consideration and promises to get back later that day. Now who in their right mind actually thinks the Dany chapter will now take precedence in Martin's day?

Martin will deliberate about Ned and the tv series and drop the Dany chapter for another time.

This is just one possible example out of a host of others that will crop up over the course of filming the series.

It's depressing.

We can only hope that if the series does get greenlighted, GRRM's involvement won't increase to the point where his direct input is required several times on a daily basis.

I'm really delighted with all the positive reactions here ^^

Yeah, it's a freaking miracle how everything is lollipops and flowers when there's enforced homogeneity. This is why I get the jitters whenever I hear the phrase "a community of like-minded individuals".
