This quote:

“Some of [the theories] are right and some of [the theories] are wrong,” Martin said in response to fan speculation about what’s to come in the new books. “They’ll find out when I finish.”

Another good quote:

“You can’t please everybody, so you’ve got to please yourself,”

Wanker talking about wanking.

Hahahaha. Rome was a better show just sayin.

 

[SixOhNine]

Rome was fantastic. It really deserved more seasons.

 

[Texasmade]

Rome was awesome. I read somewhere the show was supposed to be longer but they cut it to 2 seasons.

 

[beargonefishing]

I read somewhere that Rome wasn't filmed in a day.

 

[javyn]

Rome was awesome. I read somewhere the show was supposed to be longer but they cut it to 2 seasons.

Yeah. I think it was meant to be 4 seasons. There was talk of a movie or series of movies focusing on Vorenus and Pullo but nothing ever came of it I guess.

 

[javyn]

Oh yeah, I stopped giving a crap about GoT when I first saw The Expanse in late 2015. Really excited that Amazon picked it up and expanded its budget.

 

[Texasmade]

The guy who played Mark Antony was pretty pissed off Rome only lasted 2 seasons and then GoT came along and was a huge hit. He was like “we were GoT before GoT. The show never got the credit it deserved.”

after the Deadwood movie fiasco you should probably be happy about that

Yeah, I think he was offered a part in GoT and turned it down. I mean, he's bitchy, but correct.

Oh hell seriously? I haven't seen the Deadwood movie yet but I have high hopes.

 

[Ataturk]

Is the expanse tv show better than the book? Because the book was awful.

 

[javyn]

I haven't read the novels so I can't say.

 

[SixOhNine]

I'm holding off on reading the books. I've learned my lesson about reading an unfinished series.

Same here. I got through the third GoT novel and realized I was wasting my time. I'm not going to start on The Expanse series. Sticking with the show heh.

Although, the story of how the books came together is kinda interesting. Guy did a bunch of worldbuilding for what was going to be a Chinese MMORPG, which fell through, so his writer friend suggested they team up and write novels based on what he had done.
