In this nightmare scenario he's supposed to novelize GoT s8, not aDoS AgentApple Send a noteboard - 23/11/2020 11:10:56 PM

The idea being the works should pass under the hands of both BS and D&D. The question is which order will deal more damage

View original postSanderson's adaptation was all about the fan service to an excessive degree and included a lot of unnecessary "fixes" like Hawkwing lecturing Mat about being ungrateful to Rand, because that's stuff that annoyed some fans or maybe even Sanderson himself. I think he'd do a better job of spackling over some of the gaping holes in Season 8, whether or not he had the same notes from Martin that they did. As grating as I find his dialogue, it's a step up from TV dialogue and probably owes more to screenwriting than novels. Even his style of infodumping through dialogue would work well with TV stuff and he'd be inclined to have characters say things that might rationalize or justify certain decisions.
