Well, the boomers and older... read quite a bit.

I do feel kind of sorry for the younger generations as books are so much better.
In a movie you're trapped in a writers or casters imagination. In a book your own imagination is the only limit. Like MY graphics, in my head are way better than anything they've managed to do on the screen.

TVs and movies have their place, no doubt, but they just can't beat a book.

this is untrue. old people read a LOT of fiction. ask any 70 year old, they most likely have a book they're halfway through.

how else did people like Stephen King, Clive Cussler, Tom Clancy, etc become megamillionaires?

You folks need to get out more. Meet more old people.

yup GRRM struggled big time with people working out R+L=J on westeros.org very early on.

i lurked the forum a lot in the early days and have re-read a lot. its shocking how some people figured shit out. but 99% of it is people guessing wrong. blind squirrels find nuts.

the last 2 episodes were terrible, just wait for the next 2. it will get so much worse. call me Bran.

/e Also, it's not like GoT and LoTR are non-fiction.

Last season was awful, I feel bad for anyone who expected this one to be anything other than an unmitigated disaster.

Just a friendly reminder that not everyone, me for example, has seen the latest episodes yet. So could you please not spoiler it? :hug:

You seen the Inside the episode for the last one?

This is starting to sound like Todd Howard's "It just works".
