That might hurt the banker's sons feelings, and then their fathers and uncles will make HBO suffer.
HBO wouldn't dare insult Goldman Sachs. The last 3.5 seasons were just fine... Yep..

I posted this back in 2019, just after the last season ended:
Think it's been proven true, there just isn't any interest left in it. Looking at google trends, S7 already killed most of the off-season interest and after S8 is over it just drops to zero instantly.

I legit would watch a show with Arya's dumb ugly ass exploring the world as long as the cast is expanded past her. Ive watched plenty of those lore videos on the rest of the world and it's all sorts of shit she could do and get into. Especially if they keep the Faceless faction going with her. What I really liked about early GOT was that magic was a thing, but it was a super secret thing and no one seemed to notice. Unlike the last two seasons which had magic everywhere and dragons were a common sighting. Repeat that same feeling of it being rare, powerful and unpredictable, and it would be a fantastic real life adaption of Pirates of Dark Water. Its too hard to establish intrigue and deception between Royalty when there isnt a looming plot. House of the Dragon or w/e felt way too forced and just ended up being uninteresting.

i understand why they didnt go with an Arya adventure program, because Arya is not really on the same level of popularity as a Jon Snow. if they could have Jon get back with Arya, they could have gone on sea voyages together. maybe Jon has a vision of Ygritte and it puts him on a quest to find out more or some bullshit. this means he has to find Arya and she knows about this red witch on Asshai who can put this all together. something. it doesnt have to be a great idea, just an interesting idea which would utilize some of the lore in the show.

they can make vagina demons, ice zombies and dragons within budget. it should be doable.

"do the idea justice" is probably the key part, here. The cities full of oily black stone, huge Frog statue, and all that crazy shit is something I would love to see in action. Now if we could only kidnap a director from 2010 before the mind virus took over hard and give him Rings of Power money without the Rings of Power.

jon snow series writes itself
the rest of the seasons is the Night Queen and Emperor just going from country to country turning everyone into Others and zombies, no one can stop them because Dany and her dragons are dead
- jon is just chilling out in the north fishing, hunting, fucking, laughing, loving with his new buds. they constantly kill him for the lulz and he comes back to life
- a giant snow blizzard moves down from the "real" North and villages start vanishing in the storms. everyone is scared shitless, they send out expeditions and we see hints of zombies and others.
- every now and then the show switches to Kings Landing where Bran is sitting on the throne staring vacantly at a wall
- season finale, the blizzard reaches jon's village, everyone is dying and getting rez'd as a zombie. jon and his buds make a last stand
- a giant ice worm spider dragon enters, a ice giantess is riding it. Instead of killing Jon, she drops her skirt, points at her vagina, and yells GET THAT DICK IN HERE. Its Ygritte, who is the reincarnated Snow Queen and the true leader of the Others. The Night King was just her side piece.

Asshai, the jungles full of monsters and man eating plants, the China-like nation that has a massive wall to defend vs monsters. Even some of the islands - like the island Mirrisandi (Dany’s handmaiden) came from. Apparently people not from the island die from some unknown source if they stay there too long and there are some odd butterflies there people think are the cause

Maybe a small chance it gets unshelved if Season 2 carries momentum. Like
Daidraco
said though, hard to see HOTD garnering the same level of interest without a greater threat looming. People seem to be giving it a chance.

no, that wouldn't work. Arya would just kill them all single handedly, except jon, who she would spare.jon snow series writes itself

we could delay her by having her sail off to the west. 6-9months of sailing, and visiting foreign ports. but she would get word, and jump off the boat and run back home in a couple hours.

They lost Sapochnik because HBO blocked his wife from serving again as a producer on Season 2.
Season 2 quality will determine whether Sapochnik and his wife were a positive force or not.
Saponchnik should give Amazon a call in the meantime, they're friendly to producers with no credits.

I like how they credit he was inspired by tad Williams series. More like stole half of it, tarted it up with more sex and generally a little higher energy.they probably know GRRM isnt up to the task. where them books at? oh yeah, never happen.
George R.R. Martin Has More Bad News About ‘Winds Of Winter’
I'm not sure we'll ever get any good news, let alone a satisfying conclusion to Martin's epic fantasy series. What a shame.www.forbes.com
"The main thing I'm actually writing, of course, is the same thing... I wish I could write as fast as [The Last Kingdom author Bernard Cornwell] but I'm 12 years late on this damn novel and I'm struggling with it.
"I have like 1,100 pages written but I still have hundreds more pages to go. It's a big mother of a book for whatever reason. Maybe I should've started writing smaller books when I began this but it's tough. That's the main thing that dominates most of my working life."

Game of Thrones fans only want one thing (aside from a redo of the final season): The Winds of Winter novel. George R.R. Martin has been working on the manuscript for over a decade, and we’re still no closer to getting our hands on the sixth installment.
Game of Thrones fans are so obsessed with this book — presumably so they can learn what really happens to their favorite Game of Thrones characters after the divisive finale of the fantasy series — that they’ve been nagging Martin for years. Still, he’s got the perfect defense for their whining: he brings it up himself so the fans can’t.
“I’m 12 years late with Winds of Winter, as we know. I’m just going to put it right out there: you guys don’t have to pester me about it,” he said during an event last week. He knows we want it, and he doesn’t need reminding.
George RR Martin has this response to your Game of Thrones demands
George RR Martin is sick of hearing your Game of Thrones demands, so he's developed the perfect response to shut down those whiny fans.

You know if he somehow miraculously shit out the remaining novels all within a year, kind of like King did with the last three books of The dark Tower, I still wouldn't read them.good old George

Fuck that fat lazy bastard. Any interest I ever had in completing the series as long evaporated into The ether. You got a chance to do something you were supposed to be passionate about for a living, making millions of dollars. I'm sure he still just bitches about football on his blog instead. I don't know I stopped going there many, many moons ago.

and ya know, the thing is his 5th book was just the second half of the 4th book he split up to make it look like he was still actively writing this series. that 4th book was 2005, he's been stuck for a long long long time. after almost 20 years, its obvious he just doesnt care anymore. he is enjoying his success and the assholes who keep pestering him about book 6 are the only thing standing in his way. so get off his back! people have offered to take over the series from him or at the least to work with him to finish it and he still refuses any help. i feel really stupid for ever starting this series. but ya got to write it off. most have already. shit, its been 5 years since the series finale of GoT. its over.
