[QUOTE="jolt, post: 8745245, member: 18142"] To answer the OP question, no, it won't stop me from watching. HBO had very limited rights to make up their own stuff for the show. That was fine until you got to the point where the show caught up to the books. HBO's contracts with the actors didn't allow them to delay so they had to go with what they had. What they had was some pages of hastily compiled notes from George (George was contractually obligated to provide material - when the show first started, it apparently didn't occur to him that he would be so far behind). So HBO ran with the little material they had and turned out a crappy final season. There wasn't really anything else they could have done though. Green Ronin dropped the rpg for the same reason. George insisted on reviewing all material personally. GR would give him the drafts and says they needed it back within 6 months to make their production queue. Six months later they'd call George only to find out that he hadn't looked at it at all. Eventually, they just said, "Screw it", dropped the license and re-released the rpg with the GoT serial numbers filed off. Personally, I think doing a prequel was the right idea. We already know how the world ends up so there's less chance of George's "quirks" derailing 7 years of production. [/QUOTE]
