wagon127 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Is this going to be a new thing, multiple streaming services from the same company? Anybody have any customer friendly reasons, why they didn't just add it to the original streaming service, that Game of Thrones, and Chernobyl was on?

I was looking for a customer friendly reason as to why this would benefit anybody.... This is just going to get worse over time isn't it? Making cable the cheaper option, or just buying DVDs.....

My understanding is that HBO Now subscribers will get/become HBO Max. HBO Max will be free for those who have a traditional HBO subscription if your subscription is offered through an AT&T provider (which includes Direct TV). Those w a traditional HBO subscription through a non-AT&T provider (Spectrum, Comcast etc) I don't think get it for free. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess so To close out its big HBO Max presentation -- the service will launch in May 2020 with a $14.99 per month price -- execs revealed that the flagship HBO show Game of Thrones will get a new spin-off based on Fire & Blood. House of the Dragon is a spin-off produced by author George R.R. Martin and Ryan Condal, which is set 300 years prior to the events of the first show. It is like CBS putting the new Star Trek show streaming only ers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Glad to see HBO is trying to make this as complicated as possible! This GOT prequel should be great however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 This is basically the equivalent of putting NFL Prime Time on ESPN+. It sucks but it'll pry be on my credit card if HBO does end up picking up the series. Just make sure you have good writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenorthremembers Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Will it be available for streaming on HBO Go after the date it airs? If so there will be no reason to buy the new app unless you think you have to see it the day the episode is released, and I dont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV writers were great at translating source material to the screen in first four to five seasons. There were even some scenes/changes not in the book (Arya with Tywin) (Catelyn telling the story about Jon Snow as a baby) that were very well done in the first few seasons. Then when it was time for the writers to work without the scource material and Martin's simple verbal synopsis of what would happen the results were mixed (mostly negative). The last season's writing was atrocious for the most part. Basically, if GRRM wrote all the damn books in a timely fashion you'd have an all time great series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In line with my friends who read the books and were really into it. I had no knowledge of any of it except for the show and enjoyed it mostly, several dozen scenes were the height of unintentional comedy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snafu Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 GoT is dead to me until and unless the next book comes out. That last season was so *****, HBO can't redeem themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
