“It Won’t Stop Killing The Most Interesting Characters”
That means plenty of surprises for the viewers. So?
“It Won’t Kill Boring Characters Off, Or At Least Push Them Off-Screen”
Because those “boring” characters end up playing key roles here and there.
“It Needs More Focus”
Is the author of this piece an idiot?
“And yes, eventually she does actually get involved in what amounts to the main plot, but really, just either give her her own show, or have her show up out of nowhere riding a dragon.”
Oh, he IS AN IDIOT.
“It’s A Little Too Faithful To The Books”
No such thing when the books are really good.
“There’s Always Room For Improvement”
Sure. We could see it in an IMAX and the episodes could be 2 hours long. I would like that. Also, the show could be on year round and new episodes could appear EVERY DAY. All of that is unrealistic, however.
I mounted a frontal assault on them at first, and failed. But then, I found a strategy...
The books are a ghastly bizarro-world imitation of the books of Tolkien—the writer of the semi-porn crap is just a dirty-minded loser. Yuck. Hate to see it take up space as anything resembling art on FR.
Agree with you about the author.
I also read the comments after the end of the article, which showed me the real “problem” with GoT.
It is not the show, but the lazy, single-dimensional viewers, who have never read complex (normal for the times, but complex and “boring” by current popular standards) works like most of the classics of English and American literature.
“Detailed “world building” began with Tolkien?!? Bwaaahahahaha!
As soon as I read “it won’t stop killing the most interesting characters” i stopped as that’s just straight out of the books. I’m assuming he hasn’t read them.
