I think the house of the dragon will be garbage. Once Martin’s material ran out, GoT went down hill. I doubt this will be much better

I’m hopeful but not optimistic about LoTR.
LOTR will suck, WoT was great as a non-book-reader.

HotD is based on I'm not sure what book(s) it's from but it's OC from GRRM. Don't click if you don't want spoilers.

This is the one I've been curious to see since the early 90's: https://popculture.com/movies/news/b...know-so-far/#3

There's a hell of a lot of reasons to be skeptical and I'm prepared for disappointment, but it'd make an interesting movie/tv if it's done right

Did you fellers watch Foundation and/or read the books? I thought it was far from perfect but it turned out a lot better than I thought it would be, considering how much they kind of had to rearrange. Lee Pace landed that bird, though

Foundation is one of my favorite book series but sadly, the wife hated the first episode

She like me does not like ugly people and that cast needed more attractive people. Only show with an ugly cast I ever got her to watch was the expanse and that’s because the hoarse cigarette voice lady is Iranian

Oh man I really like the foundation tv series. I have not read the books.

I love how they killed all the AI sympathizers after the AI war that's metal.

Read the books, they are very good if you appreciate history and sci-fi

Roman Empire transposed thousands of years into the future with a mathematician who has basically made prophecy into calculus

They’re not long either. Isaac Asimov writes in such a way that they go quickly. The books taper off in quality but they’re still worth reading

I haven’t watched that series, but have watched the older Star Trek series. Let’s be honest, Startrek has always been about promoting all forms diversity & acceptance. There were non binary aliens on the next generation, no one protested then.
In the 80s and early 90s? I guess you could write them a strongly worded letter in the mail.
