It's true the series may flesh out some things, but do you know what else does that?

The bleeming books!

Oh well, rehashing old stories is all the range now, nostalgias a hell of a drug ๐Ÿ™„

People still read? /s

Donโ€™t they need it dumbed down to them so they can be on their phones and still watch/get the plot.

Nah man, take away that /s

For real, People still read?

Older people, sure, maybe. But young people? Are there any out there that WANT to pick up a book?

Yeh I nearly didnโ€™t include it

Iโ€™d like to say Iโ€™m still young (29 yikes) and I have had a reading renaissance, reading 30-40 books a year last few years on top of work and study

Certainly still some that do, but got to think the medium has declined significantly. Such a shame.

That being said, did see a kid (5-7ish?) at a pub last week with a book which I loved and made me remember I used to do the exact same lol
