It’s fair for GRRM to share some of the blame, but any Internet commenter, who can’t write for shit (see me), could have written a better ending.

To me it seemed like they were bored and wanted to move on. They had Star Wars/Disney lined up. They had Netflix (possibly this thing) lined up. Conceptually I get it. They’d worked on Game of Thrones for years, it was time to move on.

But they fucked up bad. Real bad.

Obviously I hope they’ve learned and are better now, but I’m not betting on it.

I knew they were involved, but I was surprised to see their name dropped in the article. I assumed they would try to downplay their involvement so I checked the article to be sure.

I appreciate the honesty, but no thank you.

Over its eight-episode run

It’s a series AFAIK.

I do agree they did a solid job adapting things, and I would hope the collective slap from the failure that was the final seasons of Game of Thrones would humble them.

I’m not writing the series off completely, I’m just not willing to give it a shot until after a thorough review and clear ending.

It’s not a matter of pirating or not, it’s a matter of quality.

acting as a strong comeback for Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D. B. Weiss.

No thank you.

I’ve heard great things about this story, but I’m not watching something run by these loons.

If it’s a one and done season, I’ll watch it once it’s done. If it’s going to take multiple seasons, I’ll watch it when it’s done. It’s Netflix, so they won’t finish it.

My home doesn’t have Dune 2 playing and I got water coolers to talk around.

Shit. I did mine hours too late.

Upvoted for your opinion, but also

No.

I like trailers and previews, but at home while wearing overly revealing shorts. That’s the ideal clothing.

I’ll take random throw downs over a Twister reboot trailer.

I probably won’t be back until Dune 3, but by then 3 years will have passed and I’ll have learned nothing.

Most theaters, yes, but not the “local” no-name theaters I usually go to run by random 16 year olds.

But somehow the “professional” or “high end” are just circle jerks. At least give me a tug, I’m a paying customer!

I’ll take 10 minutes of Kidman fever dream over the trailers for every fuckin movie in existence.

The seat was very comfortable, I sat in it for 30+ extra minutes.

If they had discounts it would work. But we all know they aren’t having discounts.

I don’t remember the opening of the film, but I remember calling the plot based on the trailer.

The movie was fine, but the twist was obvious.

To be fair to Chrome.

Microsoft had the vast majority with Trident. Mozilla/Firefox slowly gained market share with Gecko. Chrome/Webkit* then took market share from both.

It’s not like Chrome just appeared one day and demanded everyone use them, they gained market share by being a good browser.

*(Chrome now uses a fork of Webkit called Blink.)

That being said I do think Firefox provides the best browser experience, and Chrome users should look into switching.

Which is a long way of saying Microsoft fucked up bad. Real bad.

I’m amazed and so glad to read this. This is basically my exact strategy.

I watch the newer episodes (I’ll have seen them enough eventually) and I turn my screen nearly off (almost no backlight plus a filter).

I switch up the shows sometime, but if I need sleep it’s Futurama.
