nah he doesnt like the way they're making small changes that make later things make less sense. the fact that he actually has all the book material written especially seems to be bothering him. He wrote a blog post about it and then deleted it

‘House of the Dragon’ Boss Says George R.R. Martin Criticizing the Show Was ‘Disappointing’: ‘I Made Every Effort to Include Him… He Was Unwilling to Acknowledge the Practical Issues’ of Adaptations

"It was disappointing," Condal admitted to EW. "I will simply say I've been a fan of 'A Song of Ice and Fire' for almost 25 years now, and working on the show has been truly one of the great privileges of, not only my career as a writer, but my life as a fan of science-fiction and fantasy. George himself is a monument, a literary icon in addition to a personal hero of mine, and was heavily influential on me coming up as a writer."

"It's this incomplete history and it requires a lot of joining of the dots and a lot of invention as you go along the way," Condal told EW. "I will simply say, I made every effort to include George in the adaptation process. I really did. Over years and years. And we really enjoyed a mutually fruitful, I thought, really strong collaboration for a long time. But at some point, as we got deeper down the road, he just became unwilling to acknowledge the practical issues at hand in a reasonable way. And I think as a showrunner, I have to keep my practical producer hat on and my creative writer, lover-of-the-material hat on at the same time."

"At the end of the day, I just have to keep marching not only the writing process forward, but also the practical parts of the process forward for the sake of the crew, the cast, and for HBO, because that's my job," he continued. "So I can only hope that George and I can rediscover that harmony someday. But that's what I have to say about it."

It was boring. I didnt read the book so idk how much material they have to work with

Summer 2026? What kinda shyt is that?

At some point HBO/Max/Netflix/etc decided to abandon the "one season a year" approach for a lot of expensive shows. I don't know if spacing out production is for tax purposes or something else because it's clearly killing viewership. S2 did not do as well as it should have, even accounting for the dip in overall show quality.

Even stranger, Max doesn't really have a lot of new shyt popping. They used to do a great job staggering their shows throughout the year to maximize viewership, headlines, social media engagement, etc. Last year's White Lotus season was pretty popular and ended in April. Then Last Of Us S2 started, ending in May. Why wasn't HOTD ready for the summer, when they had nothing of interest on?

Cant remember shyt from season 2. The funny thing is i remember lots more from the first season.
