It seems to happen to every fantasy writer that writes an extended series.
death while attempting to finish that is
I kind of see it both ways. It is nice not knowing exactly how everything is going to finish, but sometimes the books are just better overall and they shortchange cool characters in the show.
But it balances out overall I think. Prefer the books, but the show is way better than I thought it could ever be, so there is that. HBO should be the go to place for miniseries/series to get done.
I'm so pissed that Old Man's War is being done by SYFY. IT DESERVES HBO.
