Speaking of Game of Thrones, what's the over/under? I've got HBO bailing on it after S2 - they can't admit defeat after S1, for sure. This will simply bring nothing new to the table. Eight seasons of swords, tits, and dragons followed up with...the same? Nope. Ain't happening. If the S1 conclusion has HALF the viewership of GoT's finale, I'd be surprised. Even the teaser that dropped today was just a freakin' parade of the costume department with a little fire at the end. No one cares about this backstory - at least not the casuals. And it will still cost a fortune to produce, so it's a losing prop out of the gates. Think of the dumbasses that threw $$$$$$ at Spielberg to remake a 50's musical. Just light a pile of that shit on fire and warm yourself, for all the good it will do.
Plus, the new GoT doesn't have Rose Leslie, so it's already a pale imitation to the original.
