So this adaptation The Tales of Dunk and Egg, stories in which one of the two main characters is a Targaryen and future king, is never going to follow anyone in the upper class. Riiight…

The Tales of Dunk and Egg are from the perspective of Dunk, not Egg. And Egg is also the Targaryen the poor loved for not being a giant piece of shit, so 🤷‍♂️

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. I'm like "Uhh...that's not possible..."

Bill, The Galactic Hero. Author Harry Harrison was tired of space sagas where the focus was on the Emperors and Generals. So he wrote the story of a fertilizer spreader who gets shanghaied into the Space Navy. He ends up with an extra right arm and some attractive fangs...

Good sign, solid indication of reading comprehension. My interest level has gone from medium to medium-high.

That sounds awesome. The main reason I never got into House of the Dragon was that it was just a bunch of rich people. It would be nice to actually enjoy another Westeros thing.

First time I heard about this. So there's a third tv series now before George finishes the books for the first one?

There is absolutely no chance he'll ever finish the books
