HBO picks up George RR Martin series - Game of Thrones

Oh for sure. I just meant imagine if instead of paying out a 1B for something that well known and has been done extremely well farely recently and putting that money toward something that could be really good if it had the budget fantasy scripts require to be done right.

HBO did just that with GOT, but as usual TV producers are slow to learn the lesson. So we'll get a LOTR series that will be compared to the movies and the bar it set and a GOT spin off that no one asked for. And about that...Talk about not reading the room. I don't know who's excited to watch that show after that horrific ending to GOT.
I'm looking forward to more GoT shows. I'm one of the few that liked season 8. Also, I don't understand people using that phrase that I bolded. Most things that we get no one asked for so why is that a prerequisite?
