Robert's rebellion would be even more interesting than the current plot. Lots of legendary characters alive at that time, a lot of battles and events that we only hear about second-hand etc. Around this time in the TV show, IMO GRRM kills off too many of his characters, so he has to introduce lots of new ones that pop out of nowhere.

Just finished third book (don't even remember what's its name though it was pretty enjoyable to read), now I'm going to watch season 3. Sadly I'm not hyped for it :( I hope one day some hollywood studio will make movie or serial based on Witchers saga.

If these TV shows are as profitable as I imagine they are, I doubt they'd totally can such a popular universe. Sadly for some reason I predict a GoT prequel would probably have a lower budget and worse cast... and be worse.

The TV show is going to catch up to the novels soon, given how long it takes the fat fuck to go through his process. Which would completely destroy the tv show, unless they recast a lot of important roles or magically manage to get all the current actors on permanent retainer. They can't just put that shit on hold, but GRRM doesn't do well with deadlines. They may need to do a lot of fluffing of existing storylines and probably create some wholesale just to pad it out.

The TV show is going to do its own interpretation of the story if it catches up to the books. They know how the plot is going to unfold.

George have told the writers for the TV show how it will end and the fate of certain characters.
So either they could do a Robert's Rebellion Prequel series while waiting for it. OR they could do it like other series have done and have a break after half a season has aired.


OR since they know the end results they could do their own kind of thing with the show. The destination is the same BUT the road to it might be slightly different.
