I never said Star Trek was good, just that the universe is expansive, Rodenberry let other people take it off his hands and allowed them to create within it.

[Kurb]

Hey lets talk about Game of Thrones...

I'm okay with them not showing battles.

Whatever makes the shows cheaper to produce.

Also after finishing book three, damn baelish. Damn.

They did the same thing in the series Rome. I didn't miss the actual battles at all.

[Fiz]

well the rome pilot had an incredible opening scene, which you'd expect from a pilot.

They did do the battle of phillipi but it looked terrible.

I'm about 2/3 through ASOS, but I'm building towards the Red Wedding (they are en route to the Twins)...

Knowing what is coming is making me slow way down...

[rodeo]

Yeah they showed a couple battles, but for the most part it was "Well, I'm off to battle." *cut* "That sure was a fun battle!"

The battle of Phillipi was hilariously bad. Especially all the dudes stabbing Brutus and you could clearly see their swords were hardly making contact with him.

Still one of the best series ever, though.

rome fell apart so damn hard

[rodeo]

Ehhh the second season wasn't as good, but I wouldn't say it fell apart. A lot of the problem was what they did with Octavian, including his actor.

The issue was they were planning on 6 seasons, then got cut down to 2 and had to tell the whole remaining story in the 2nd season.

[Fiz]

I understand what happened.

That doesn't mean they didn't go through like 5 years in 3 episodes.

[bredy087]

There was no way to gracefully end Rome.

[Porn Shop Clerk]

Blackwater will be a massive battle. I don't think they can skip over it.

If you thought that was bad, check this out:

HBO is going back into business with Rome duo Jane Tranter and Anne Thomopoulos for a miniseries based on Robert Graves’ I, Claudius.

The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that the BBC Worldwide Productions duo will executive produce the co-production with BBC2.

Graves' novel was first published in 1934 as an autobiography of Roman Emperor Claudius and includes the history of the Roman Empire from Julius Caesar’s assassination to Caligula’s assassination.

The book -- and its sequel, Claudius the God -- were first adapted as a miniseries by BBC Television in 1976 and broadcast stateside as part of PBS’ Masterpiece Theatre. Starring Derek Jacobi as the Roman emperor, the mini picked up three Emmy nominations, including outstanding direction and limited series, winning for art direction.

The Rome producers are going to have a new show that covers 80 fuging years. Unless it lasts 8 seasons, that's not gonna work.

hopefully GOT season 2 is at least 12 episodes... and yes, I hope one of those full episodes is pretty much dedicated to Blackwater...
