Robert's Rebellion is a terrible idea for a spin-off show. I'm sure that's the one they'll do.

Robert's Rebellion took place nearly 300 years after Ashton's Conquest.tragabigzanda wrote:What's the third one?cutuphalfdead wrote:Robert's Rebellion

And wouldn't Ashton's conquest segue into Roberts rebellion, or am I confused?

Re: HBO: Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire)
Here's another question: which ones of these would you actually want to watch? My answer is kind of: meh? I guess anything but Robert's Rebellion? Since I wasn't a book reader before I watched the series, when I started with Season 1 everything was new to me, and one of the things that hooked me on the show was figuring out who each character was, where their loyalties lied, what role they had to play in the story. Robert's Rebellion has been so well covered in the books and--at least to some extent--in the show that I feel like it wouldn't be as exciting, since it'd have a very "prequel-y" feel of, "Oh, here's Robert," "Here's Ned," "Here's Tywin," and on into infinity with every other character, and of course you'd know how it all ends. If you adapted something like the Dance of the Dragons (and to a similar extent, Aegon's conquest), I'm sure even book readers would be intrigued with the twists and turns the story would take, and the rich lives of new characters that popped up on screen. I haven't read Dunk and Egg, so can't really speak to that.
And with that all said, I'm sure the network will push for Robert's Rebellion.

Re: HBO: Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire)
But ST has a point. The lamest parts of the show are the "oh look it's Tuco" moments. Plus, a lot of the Mike/Gus/Salamanca backstory can be a little boring because we know where those characters end up/have heard a lot of their backstory already. ST is right. Robert's Rebellion has been covered pretty extensively in the show, and I imagine we'll see even more actual flashbacks to that time period this season (as we learn more about Jon Snow's origin and Danaerys's claim to the throne, etc.)Mecca wrote:we live in a world where Better Call Saul is one of the best shows on TV and its a prequelSimple Torture wrote:Here's another question: which ones of these would you actually want to watch?

what if Robert's Rebellion is told from viewpoints that we are not familiar with? Jon Arryn would be a likely candidate

If they do Robert's Rebellion they should start with the Defiance of Duskendale so we can see Barry the Bold at his finest.
