HBO: A Song of Ice & Fire

[timepiececlock]

HBO is turning George R.R. Martin’s series of “A Song of Ice and Fire” fantasy novels into a TV series. The plan is to adapt one novel each season, starting with 1996’s “A Game of Thrones.”

Flist, what do you think of this? I've never read the books, and was told they were overly drawn-out and ultimately frustrating, but I've read several people on LJ talking about them.

Thoughts? Rants? Cheers?

If it is good fantasy, then I'll be happy. But the last time HBO did good fantasy, you know what happened? THEY CANCELED IT AFTER TWO SEASONS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE COSMIC DUSTBOWL STATE BATTLE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL WHEN WE JUST DISCOVERED THAT THE REBORN CHRIST'S TRUE HET LOVE IS IN FACT PROBABLY THE ANTICHRIST!


CARNIVALE, BITCH.


I MAY FORGIVE BUT I DON'T FORGET, HBO. Got my eye on you.
