    HBO Dramas are not the same as Dramas on regular television.

    Sure they are

    In fact the main reason a lot of people like it is because it's not generic fantasy bullshit all the time.

    Very much this. Whenever something fantastical happens in the books/show, I kind of roll my eyes at it.

    What do you say we take a relaxed attitude towards work and watch the baseball game? The nye Mets are my favorite squadron.

    there's no Tom Bombadil in asoiaf though, Zoolander was saying he want to cut "everything but dragons and zombies" which is not cutting Tom Bombadil it's cutting everything but like 2 characters

    Please don't just make it Frodo and Sam.

    I think only having the two of them would kill me.

    Considering how these are from two plotlines that still haven't interacted it would be more like cutting everyone except Denethor and the Balrog from LOTR.

    Nothing but Elrond and the Mouth of Sauron. Just chilling.

    basic cable channels like FX and AMC have bridged the gap some, and obviously there are other pay cable channels that do thier own original series as well.

    But something like The Wire would never work on network television, and not just because of the language, etc. The structure and pacing of shows like The Wire (which is structuraly actually very similiar to ASOIAF) is completely at odds with network TV.

    There are, and have been great tv shows on network tv, don't get me wrong. But there's a good reason why HBO has such a sterling reputation when it comes to original series.

    Cut it to Gandalf and Aragorn. Aragorn has the ring and is basically invisible ninja assassin. Gandalf obviously blows shit up all the way to mordor. Could cover everything in 2 hours and it would be more interesting too.

    Will there be another thread before then? I mean, there's only so much more we can speculate about, or bitch about concerning the show...

    season 2 starts shooting in a month, which means casting news will start coming out soon.
