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 mean not even the minimum amount of character development you see in any typical TV show. Regression, even, where what evolution they had already had wasn't allowed to stick. It's beyond the norm and violates the core tenets of good writing.

Well, the DVDs are out in December, so I suppose I'll find out soon. Since I've always viewed it as more of an illustration than a story of its own, though, I doubt I'll be very disappointed.
