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.
It has a distinct lack of attractive women (except Rosamund Pike). The others are very tough on the eyes. The nose on Egwene would better suit one of the trollocs on the show. They don't even try to pretty the women up either. Make up would help but not solve their bad casting decisions.
