Is that because you didn't like what they did with GoT? I didn't watch (or read) GoT, so I have no such axe to grind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chindie Posted March 22 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted March 22 (edited) In fairness what B&W did with GoT was so heinous you'd be foolish to engage with much else they ever did. Not just the fall off in standards when they got past the books, but the final couple of series, and particularly the final series itself, absolutely reeked of them wanting to ditch the entire thing as fast as possible without any care for how it was done and whether it made any sense or held a candle to what came before it, or has any respect for the time investment of the people that watched it. You could damn near hear the tyres screeching outside the editing room as they escaped it watching the final series. Never watching a thing they touch again.

They shouldn’t ever be allowed anywhere near a TV show or studio again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats because you weren’t involved when they intentionally sabotaged the biggest show in the world. If they had tried their best and failed, fair enough. But to do what they did on purpose is unforgivable (in the media world). But I do accept they are good at what they can do which is why Netflix have given them a chance after Disney dumped them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the ending was rushed and a huge disappointment but sabotage? Also seems like a lot of anger is aimed at these guys for creating that ending while what's his face gets away with still not finishing the books Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Davkaus Posted March 22 Popular Post Share Posted March 22 It's probably the biggest nosedive in quality in TV show history. Major plotlines were just abandoned, characters stopped acting like themselves, characters started zipping all over the world, the attention to detail was a joke. Some of it was just so bad I was cringing watching it ("hey guys, maybe we should let people vote. LOL, wink wink, where's that 4th wall. Do you get it?!"). Did they deliberately sabotage it? Almost certainly not, they just didn't give a shit and wanted to rush off to the next project. In an ideal world, they'd have left and let someone who still had a passion for the project take over. I'm not so angry I'd deliberately cut my nose off by never watching anything they do again if they make something brilliant, but I'd certainly not invest in a long series that they're running until it gets to the end. Once bitten twice shy and all that. I don't hate them, I just think they're a pair of greedy hacks with no respect for their audience. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the 3rd onwards I bought them all on release day and re-read the preceding books, but at this point I don't think I'd bother with the next one even if it ever comes out.

Isn’t letting it all fall to shit because they wanted to rush off an act of deliberate sabotage? They were offered basically unlimited budget to continue, as many seasons as they wanted, a film or films to end it, the offer to let someone else take over so they could leave, and so on… and they simply said “nah, here’s something quick we patched together in our sleep, see you laters losers”… and off they went.

Davkaus Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 He wrote about a thousand pages for it last year apparently, but that's from the same bloke who thought he'd be "done in 3 months" about a decade ago. Either he's just not got the motivation to finish it, and who could blame him at this point, or he's got absolutely no idea how to bring it all together and every time he writes a few hundred pages he realises he's no closer to an end. But this maybe belongs in the what are you (literally never going to have the chance to be) reading thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted March 23 VT Supporter Share Posted March 23 See the thing is, I've read LotR and seen the films, and that's the beginning and the end of the fantasy genre for me. I've occasionally dipped a toe in that stuff over the years, but without exception it's left me cold. I did watch the first episode of GoT, thought it was twaddle. So I don't give a monkey's about whatever their names are (never heard of them until the last few posts) bailing on it. They get a clean slate from me. And 3BP is hard SF (see elsewhere for my antipathy to the term 'sci-fi'), so rather more to my taste. So far (3 eps) it's promising. That's all I care about. If it fizzles out, I'll drop it, and watch something else. It's only a telly programme at the end of the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Anyone watch the Chines version of 3 Body Problem that came out a year or so ago? Called Three-Body. I managed something like 12 eps out of 30 before giving up. It was just so slow, dialogue heavy and well Chinese (which is fair enough). I imagine the 8 episodes Hollywood version will be a different kind of beast. Btw there is a Chinese movie(s) coming too that's been on ice since 2015.
