I'll probably watch it, but I'm bit bummed out that they went with the White Walkers again. The other prequel that takes place in Valyria sounds more interesting.

Since they're tapping right back into that aspect of GRRM's world, they'll have to do something to make it different than GOT. It would be interesting to have the White Walkers talk, interact with each other, see their culture/way of life, more of their lands, their motives, etc. I also think they'll need to make them more of a threat with The Long Night - it should be brutal to differentiate it from what we watched in the last season of GOT. I will say that based on what GRRM has told us about the prequel show, it sounds like it will be more of a collection of "tales" of Westeros since it will be covering so many years.

They totally wasted the White Walker in the last season. I couldn't care less about their (now pointless) origin.

You know the (most pathetic) end.

Just because one may be "ruined" for you, doesn't mean there's not others that can delight you. Also, this show won't have D&D attached, so that should make the disappointed fans feel better. Personally, I never really put much stock into the whole White Walker storyline because I had a feeling it would disappoint people. There's just something about competing with people's imagination...it's better to not reveal much. In my opinion, the White Walkers were the least interesting part of GOT. I always enjoyed the show for the political intrigue and the "quiet scenes" over the big budget moments.

Do you want to know a secret, actors can play more than one role in their life. I know shocking. Yup. I never said otherwise. Actors typically don't play a second character in the same world unless their face is covered in a mask/makeup or they're playing a twin sibling/cyborg. A twin is out since this is set thousands of years before GOT. Cyborgs aren't in GRRM's work as of yet. So unless he has on a mask/makeup to hide his Ned Stark face (albeit a decade older Ned Stark face at this point), it would be stupid to have him in it. You know this is all what I was driving at though - you just decided to be a sarcastic ass for whatever reason. I know shocking.

If you're going to do a sequel, it should be connected to what people know.
I just read Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and it would a great spin-off although there wouldn't be dragons.

GoT worked for most of the part perfectly fine without dragons. Tywin, the Red Wedding, Lannister vs. Stark, The Queen of Thornes etc. pp. It was more like Shakespeare meets Lord of the Rings - less fantasy, more political plotting. That does not mean that I didn't like the little rascals. Quite the opposite. Rheagal's death was pissing me off the most. But holding them back for so long made the battle in "Spoils of War" so awesome. But in season 8 they were wasted: first next to useless in the Winterfell battle, then Rheagal's pointless death, and finally this ridiculously overpowered Drogon in the battle of King's landing.

GRRM has stated in the past that he won't let anyone adapt the Dunk and Egg novellas until they're done. He could change his mind, but he seems pretty set on that decision.

To me they are more collection based. We know what happens to each of them so their story isn’t exactly open ended.
