I think one of the advantages this show will have is not being constrained by the books, in that they do not need to wait for GRRM for input. They can develop their own story and hopefully stick to an annual release of the show.
I'll give the prequels a look but my expectations are low. Spin-offs and prequels rarely work because they just aren't the original series. Like I said, I'll watch but it will probably be hard for them to keep my attention unless the new writers do great.What do people think about the coming prequels? I'm interested. I will probably give them a look, with a short leash. HBO has already committed to the same budget as the original series. They are filming right now with an estimated release in late 2020 or early 2021. A couple others are in active development.
My wife and I pitted various characters against each other for fun. Bronn, the Hound, Brienne, Jon, Oberyn, Ser Arthur Dayne, Arya, Grey Worm, Ser Barristan Selmy, Tormund, the Mountain, Jamie (before he lost his right hand)
Jon vs Grey Worm was one such battle.
I argued that Grey Worm would destroy him with his quickness and his spear against that heavy sword. I think Jon would have a hard time getting close enough to land a blow.

Here's a fun question, if you had been one of the great lords or ladies at the dragonpit, who would YOU have nominated to be the next ruler and why?

Isn't that what Edmure Tully was trying to do before Sansa sat him down?I'd nominate myself. Why? Starks don't want it - Sansa already said she's having none of King's Landing and is taking the North with her. So they're all gone.
Dorne - ha!
Ironborn - Ha Ha!
Tyrion - nope, that guy is a no-go for me.
Jon Snow - he wants to be a wildling, I'd let him go be happy.
Gendry - sorry, I can't believe a blacksmith would have all the skills needed to be a ruler of the 6 Kingdoms. Just because he's a Baratheon bastard doesn't mean ****.

Oooh. Let's hear your fake GoT King resume.Yeah, but he sucks. I am way better than that guy. Believe me.
