It'd be the best if they had some sort of deal to get access to the streaming on its own without needing a full cable package.
I think they know that's the future, and probably will sometime in the next 5-10 years, but right now I am sure they are paid WAY too much in their cable deals to take that leap. |

Stretch that time frame out. Once Comcast/ TW merge they have no incentive to let anyone get streaming access to individual channels that they own (HBO is a Time Warner subsidiary) and more incentive to force people to pay for cable bundles to access the channel content. |

I wish fucking Comcast would allow me to watch HBO Go on my goddamned TiVo OR my goddamned Samsung Smart TV. Other service providers do, but they keep handwaving it away due to bullshit technical problems. I can do it through my 360, but that is in my family room, not my bedroom gdi.

WoT would be fucking terrible as any kind of visual adaptation. Unless they pretended most of it was never written.

Comcast can't even tie all their fucking cable outlets into one workable customer service database or write decent fucking DVR software.

Shorten WoT significantly by cutting out the tons of needless crap, and make it more "adult" and it could be good. There is a core of a good story in there, somewhere.

That is now exactly the second BLR video I have seen, and both made me cry with laughter. I don't dare explore further to see what else they have, for feel that I will never find my way out again. |

I think you mean actor - he went out there and nailed the role perfectly - possibly more so than JRRM would have imagined possible.

Exactly. Then you'd still have enough to make an OK adaptation. |

You can't really make WoT or any other "heavy magic" fantasy for TV and not have it be shit, even if the overall story is decent.

My favorite fantasy series when it comes to possible tv adaptions would probably be Robin Hobb's farseer trilogy (and the rest of the books in the elderlings realm).

I think we're almost ready for a Covenant movie/series.
Except for the fact that No-one has a fucking clue what leprosy actually IS anymore.

They can just double down on the rape. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_urvjCXg6c |

We're never going to be ready because of the rape. If anything we're further away because of that one scene, which is so pivotal to the character you can't leave it out. |

Almost, and we wouldn't have been expected to think of the rapist as the hero of the story afterwards.

I dunno, I wouldn't put it past GRRM to try and make a likeable viewpoint character out of a rapist at some point. Heck, we're all rooting at this point in the show for the sister-fucker who tried to murder a little boy.

Heh. The hero. What version did you read ? And therin lies the other problem. People need a protagonist to get behind, or at least that's what anyone in Hollywood willing to put the cash behind it will say. And then the script editing process will make the film look like the Will Smith I, Robot movie look like a faithful translation of Asimov by comparison. |
