The prices are actually insane, i'm seeing 1000 euros to stay in a six bed dorm for 2 weeks. i've tried flatio and it seems they have 3 month minimums. Any other recs? So far best value i can get is airbnb. i'd like to stay somewhere around kreuzberg/friedrichshain. thanks for the help!

I made a thread comparing the rich and delicious major and minor character interactions and dialogues and the world building to the plodding plot of HotD.

The most commonly given excuse is that HotD is made from what is basically a Wikipedia page, while GoT and Kotsk are recreations of actual novels with characterization and lore.

Given what happened after GoT ran out of source material, is it just that it’s an impossible task to write original stories or even finish original stories in the universe for anyone who isn’t GRRM?

That is surprising to me, if the MCU (which I don’t watch) can manage to churn out movie after movie featuring new characters that make up a whole new world and these are entertaining to its fans and cohere with the larger thing, why can’t such a richly built world be able to get writers that can bring GRRM level quality characterization and world building to it? I’ve seen people write great fan fiction on Reddit where I’m like oh i would watch that…also, many TV shows are just written from scratch and not adapted and still have rich characterizations (sopranos, breaking bad/bcs, the wire) and a sense that this is a real built world.

I can also think of the Dune books as books that were finished by other people than the original writer (i haven’t read).

I think we need to know the answer to this especially if they most likely are going to be trying to churn out new spin offs to capitalize on the IP.
