  • My feeling is if you never read the books its likely going to seem like a nice fantasy series and you likely won’t miss the inconsistency due to some changes but you might if your a detailed oriented person although they skip stuff to the point were it might be noticed. Like all of a sudden folks are together or in a place and they don’t go through how they got there. I do think having read the books makes it more of an issue but there is a guy who said he read the books through twice (no mean feet as there are a lot of them and each one is like a dictionary in size) and still likes it so I guess to each his own. That further being said my wife does not like it and she never read any of the books and loved the lord of the rings (which she had also never read). She won’t even watch it with me after season one although I don’t really encourage it since I watch and then complain about it to her.





  • sigh. was going to skip but you started you reply with only possible argument. And I get it I had knee jerk was to just not vote with them. The thing is trumps main focus right now is tearing apart the government but he does hit road blocks in that you can’t just fire people without reason unless they have not been there long. So its being fought and he is limited. In a government shutdown scenario the executive (trump) has to furlough people and can decide who is necessary and who is not. Courts can’t put a stop to it because its a furlough due to a shutdown. Then any bad effects can now be blamed on the democrats plus when the shutdown is over he can point to we ran well enough without the furloughed folks which is why they should be let go. The shutdown is not really a good option. I get the feeling but the smart move was to prevent the shutdown.
