Writer's "feud"

[Eulalia]

TK--let's chug down a bottle of Ice Wine and see if the thread is so aweful. I'm sorry if I have offended!It's seems like it's been years since we've had a book to generate better topics!

I do think GRRM's opinion is interesting. He seems pretty passionate about not blowing the ending of a series and cognizant that it is a possibility. I hope it's a sign that he is on top of things.

I liked Lost (loved the characters), liked the ambivalence, light touch with the story and I was okay about the ending. I thought they made the ending too literal and heavy handed in the way that they filmed it and made it too far away from the suggestions, hints and glimpses of the first part. I thought going mythological was one of the few ways to go. It had to be "big" and it was. I just think they spelled it out very flatly. But, heck, how do you tie that one up?


I'm very glad GRRM does not appear to want to go "black and white" or wrap things up too tidily. He also seems to want to keep magic to a minimum.

In my opinion GRRM can say whatever he wants about Lost.
Besides freedom of speech, the show never appealed to me.
Never understood what the fuzz was about.

To me the show was utterly boring.
It didn't take me long too realize it wasn't for me.
And the few times i was 'forced' to watch it, it seemed to be going in to circles. The bald guy and the doctor seemed to be heving endless discussions about the same old, same old.

The fat guy irked me as well, or is it just in my mind he was overly good two shoes (or whatever the exprerssion is in english).

Dude.......did you just diss Hurley?

Hurley?

Never thought there'd be a need to form H.A.D.L.

Here's a scary thought: that GRRM might tailor the future of the series with half a mind to the budget of the tv show!

I for one can't believe GRRM will blow the series, but the thought popped into my head and I don't like it. Someone tell me I'm being stupid.

Temptations, temptations....


If the TV series lasts until the final pages of the seventh book, I suspect they'd be willing to put a few extra dollars into its depiction.

That's a good point Ursa. I like that point.

Thanks - for helping and for your admirable restraint
