How do you feel about the very high likelihood that the book series won't ever be finished? Legitimate question. I'm simply curious to know what new-ish fans think about the story they love never getting an ending. Me, personally? I despise that fact. I used to be like you are now, loving and absorbing every single bit of information about the story that was available.

George should narrate all the explanations for background information Lore for each season. I volunteer as co host!

I love this man, he rules and Kicks Ass.

One of the greatest fictional universes of all time.

Imagine the potential and the worldwide acclaim of GOT if D&D just followed the books plots closely and postponed the series to wait for George's next book, saving the series' reputation and not only that, but also making George an incentive to hurry his writings more and for more fans to wait in anticipation. It's just sad, really, to see GOT being talked about almost everywhere and people suddenly act like it never existed after it's "ending".

The key difference in my opinion why Game of Thrones stands out compared to other shows that tried to do what it did, is that Game of Thrones' source material was meticulously laid out over decades of writing, where as other shows often only have a few years of writing at most. Other shows often have amazing first seasons as those are the ones with the most time and effort put into their writing as the creators work to get the story picked up for production by studios, but their later seasons often only have one or two years of writing put into them, as they have to produce a new season every year or two, leading to padding and a noticeable decrease in quality.

@@Michaelonyoutub I would dispute that: The Witcher novels were published from 1990 to 2013 and the Saxon Tales ("The Last Kingdom" in TV) from 2004-2020. So the source material of The Witcher show had been out for longer than the source material of Game of Thrones, and was of course actually finished, lol. As for the television screenplays, clearly Game of Thrones faltered there also. So the source material had not been out for any longer and wasn't even nearly finished(!), and the screenplays maybe were given more time to develop in the last season and maybe others (?), but it didn't save the prolonged quality of the show. edit: although, I wasn't thinking of the English translations of The Witcher, which were only published from 2007 on. But still, the GOT seasons all aired with one-year gaps, except the last one, which was universally panned.

Billions of people in the world. Yet there is only ONE story that entertain us all! love GoT!

An entire series about the Doom of Valyria seems like it might remove some of the mystery of the world since it would likely show Valyrian society, but I would love if there was ever a scene in one of the shows, maybe one of the Targeryan's dreams, that shows the doom.
