Welp.

++ Welp, we just got confirmation from the writer's of Game of Thrones themselves how they are basically talentless hacks. I mean, we been knew for a long time, but the fact that they openly and proudly admitted to their incompetence is astounding. Definitely read through the whole thread completely because it just gets worse and worse. I'm not surprised, but it is rather shocking that they would be so blase in their answers and the fact that they even still have careers. It's unbelievable that anyone would want to work with them after what was revealed here.

++ In other news, it appears that Jacqueline Carey's Kushiel's Legacy series may be in talks of getting an adaptation on STARZ.

I tried reading the first book, Kushiel's Dart, many years ago and I just couldn't get into it because the writing style was difficult for me to get through. But I do know that the series came highly recommended and many seemed to like it, and if it gets adapted into a television series it might translate a bit better for someone like me to understand. This, of course, depends on the right person who understands the source material to translate it from page to screen, as usual. Although I will say that my fancasting for Phèdre nó Delaunay was always Morena Baccarin, even though I know she's not the correct age especially now many years later. But still, that's how I always kind of envisioned her. And if this is to be on STARZ and we know how television casting works, they will most likely age up the character, or at least have an older actress portray her.

I saw an entry on ONTD about that Twitter thread. I don't watch GoT, but I can't believe what I read. How they did even get this job? Why would HBO throw that much money at them? Showrunners are replaced all the time. This seemed like such a risk. It paid off, but still.

That's what so baffling about this whole thing, like just based on what was said they just didn't really care at all, or even bothered to give any effort whatsoever or work hard enough with other people. They really should've been fired from day one if they were that bad.

(At least, as from what I've learned today, that they've exited the Star Wars deal they previously made, so that's a plus.)

I just saw that they exited Star Wars! I actually looked it up when making my original comment, because I wasn't sure if they were still doing that. The news must have come out shortly afterwards. I honestly can see Disney not being happy with these things coming out now or how bad the last season of GoT was received.

They claim that its due to their Netflix deal that they want to focus more on or something, but seriously it's kind of hilarious considering many saw them rushing the final season of GOT was so they could go forward with Disney/Star Wars, and now it's all for naught, lol. Not that it would've done much good anyway for the downward spiral of GOT, but y'know. Either way, I'm glad they're no longer attached.
