    I knew they were involved, but I was surprised to see their name dropped in the article. I assumed they would try to downplay their involvement so I checked the article to be sure.

    I appreciate the honesty, but no thank you.

      The main trailer has “from the creators of Game of Thrones” so yeah they’re doubling down on the D&D.

      I meannnn. They had to finish an unfinished story, and they def fucked it up. But they also made some of the best television I’ve seen S1-5 based off GRRMs work. I’m not giving them a pass but holy fuck that gamble of him having an ending by S9 wasn’t like out of the realm of possibilities, I kinda also blame GRRM.

      That being said I’m definitely waiting for large scale reviews and friend suggestions on this one. The trailer did look promising though.

        It’s fair for GRRM to share some of the blame, but any Internet commenter, who can’t write for shit (see me), could have written a better ending.

        To me it seemed like they were bored and wanted to move on. They had Star Wars/Disney lined up. They had Netflix (possibly this thing) lined up. Conceptually I get it. They’d worked on Game of Thrones for years, it was time to move on.

        But they fucked up bad. Real bad.

        Obviously I hope they’ve learned and are better now, but I’m not betting on it.

        And the Three Body series is finished as far as I know.

        I mean, that ending had to have been the final ending right?
