HBO has decided to drop the Rome series after this current season. Apparently the cost was just to high. This is really unfortunate, as Rome was a spectacle to behold. Everything about it screamed authenticity, and the price tag was in my opinion, worth it. It's not like they had terrible numbers, and it was critically acclaimed. I am disappointed to say the least.
But I just heard that HBO has picked up George R.R. Martin's Song of Fire and Ice and is going to create a new series based on those excellent four (and counting) books. I am a bit worried that because the books are so long, and HBO's season runs are only 13 episodes, that too much will get cut from the books. But if anyone can pull this off, it is HBO. I highly recommend picking up at least the first book in the series A Game Of Thrones. The series seems to have lost its way as of late, but the first two books are amazing. I can't wait to see Ned with his brutal sword Ice or Jon Snow manning the Wall with his dire wolf. I am sure that once the series comes to TV the same words will be on everyone's lips.
Winter is coming...
