My co-worker was shocked that I have no plans on watching House of the Dragon since I was a big fan of GOT (before it crashed and burned). I really hope that the show doesn't do well, but Wheel of Time seems to be doing well sadly so I'm sure this one will as well. I'm sure a lot of people who hated the ending of GOT will happily watch this even though it is a prequel to a show that had a horrible ending. GRRM can't even finish his main series and he found time to write a history book. Mind boggling.

I fear the Amazon Lord of the Rings series will get lots of praise as well. For some reason I feel that if Christopher Tolkien was still alive he wouldn't have allowed it or would have made some major changes. If I remember correctly they also fired a Tolkien scholar.
