Modified Rapture

I see that the “Game of Thrones”  by George R. R. Martin is being made into a TV series. I’ve got a bad feeling about this.

First of all because, frankly, I’m not a fan of the original books, so that’s already one strike against it.

Secondly, the series is being made by the same team that were responsible for Rome, which I found (admittedly on the basis of just one episode, which was all I could stomach) trite and shallow. So the omens are not good… Still, we will see…
