So the quality of actors, production do not matter at all? Nonsense.
Ignorance is bliss.

You just don't get it.

Considering I've spent all year studying adaptation theory, will be my specialised area (probably with fantasy adaptation/fiction too) for my PhD, I disagree.
I think that it is you that does not get it.
The television show is a separate entity and an adaptation of the book, the fidelity theory (which is the theory you are unaware you are subscribed to) is the first, most basic, common theory and easiest to dismantle.
You're unwillingness to open in to any meaningful debate, weather for lack of understanding, stubbornness or obtuseness is boring as is your entire 'argument'.
Ignorance is bliss and you bore me
, my advice would be to stop watching Game of Thrones.

George is right in that we "don't get" why he would want a worse TV show.
Caporegime
Worse then what may I ask?
Man of Honour
Worse than the TV series we do have?
A carbon-copy adaptation of the books to television wouldn't be great - I thought we were on the same page with that tbh.

A carbon-copy (or fidelity theory adaptation) would not work. Books and films are fundamentally different mediums, they cannot do things equally.
What George Hincapie is suggesting (or deucedly wanting) is an adaptation within the boundaries of the fidelity theory, that is a highly flawed (not to mention ridiculous) way to view adaptations.
There will always be changes, the nature of adaptation (for the most part).
Man of Honour
Yes. I'm agreeing with you....
Caporegime
Oh, sorry misread you. Been a long day baby sitting.
Man of Honour
No problem

Is that directed at me?
Man of Honour
Given the flow of the thread I think it's fairly obvious that it wasn't.

Good luck in the real World. You'll need it.
Caporegime
'Real World'? Are we living in the Matrix?
.I'm doing just fine thank you very much for your concern, but I reject the notion of needing 'luck'
thank you, I'll stick with working hard and continuing to learn.

No. It was directed at Frenchtart, to whom I apologised misunderstanding his post.
It translates as Tummy has had a long day and has been baby sitting.
