That's how I felt when I first learned of this prequel show, but then I thought about it logically. I liked GoT at the beginning and we all agree that it fell off at the end. Well a prequel show would obviously be before the beginning, when I liked it. Now I'm on board.If the original show ended on a good note, of course I’d be excited for this one
And I’m sure the new show will continue a lot of the elements that turned GOT into a phenomenon in the 1st place - action/violence, sex, unexpected plot twists, etc. Just doubtful it’s all gonna hit like it did with the 1st showThat's how I felt when I first learned of this prequel show, but then I thought about it logically.

I mean, I'd watch a documentary on Princess Diana's childhood.What’s the point of prequel if you know it ends terribly
Is this based on any books? I'm not familiar with the books but if this show isn't based on books then yeah, color me skeptical. Once GoT didn't have anymore material it went way off the rails
In general spinoffs seem tricky to me so I don't have high hopes but will most definitely give it a fair chance
Did not know that. Written by who? GRM?yes it’s based on fire and blood….a targaryan history book…
yea george wrote fire and blood…Did not know that. Written by who? GRM?

4 episodes. GoT crashed and burned to the ground in FOUR episodes.
6 ep S8, and after the first two eps, everyone was still hype, still on board, people were talking nonstop about it worldwide. In 4 eps, they completely destroyed everything.
My fingers bled those 4 weeks. **** man. I just don't get it.
There were soooo many little cracks though. I can't even name them off top but the dialogue overall was rancid compared to what it was with the source materialThe cracks were starting to show as soon as the series got passed the books, but it was mostly stuff you could overlook/kind of laugh off.
Like, the episode in Season 7 when a few characters went from Westeros to North of the Wall where they kidnapped a Wight and then back to Westeros. All that happening in a single episode was ridiculous even by the show’s standards, but overall it was good content so whatever. LOL.
Nothing amusing about the flaws with Season 8.
What’s the point of prequel if you know it ends terribly
My exact thoughts. 6 and 7 was mid. 8 was just awful.I thought Season 6 was mediocre and Season 7 was bad too, just with enough scenes around to think “ok fine, these episodes aren’t good, but maybe they’re showing flashes of what could be an epic ending”
Honestly, Tyrion turning into an idiot who keeps making penis jokes, Sand Snakes, Daenerys’ entire storyline after she goes from a hero to “I am the queen x 984848484848847” should’ve made me stop watching, but I was in denial. “There’s no way they’ve come this far to mess it up so badly”, as if I hadn’t gone through the same thing with Lost and Dexter
Watch people get burned by dragons.
It was a disgrace what they did. I never attempted to re-watch the show since then.You probably feel the way I do. I want to give it a fair shot, but I just feel like “what is the point…even if the prequel has a good story, it’s still a prequel to a garbage show”
If the original show ended on a good note, of course I’d be excited for this one
