His personal motivation was being king of his particular hill. When you're out on the frontier, fear makes you want control.

I had a bigger problem with Elvi's fawning, personally. Thank the gods that wasn't in the TV adaptation.

Yeah that was one of the cringier parts of the books that the show improved on by omitting 🙏

I haven’t watched the more recent seasons, only 1-4. I can’t imagine them fitting everything that remained into 2 seasons.

Book 5's adaptation didn't feel super rushed. I think most of the fans were more annoyed by some changes to The Big Thing.

Book 6, yeah. I'm glad we got what we got, but would have definitely preferred a full season. Hopefully they'll get the rest on screen some day.
