Doune Castle in Doune, north-west of Stirling. It's a fine castle built in the late 1300s that featured in the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail; as Castle Leoch in Outlander; and as Winterfell in the pilot episode of Game of Thrones.

"3 Body Problem," an adaptation of Liu Cixin’s "Remembrance of Earth’s Past" trilogy, arrives on Netflix on March 21. Its show-runners, David Benioff, Dan Weiss and Alexander Woo, talked to the Hollywood Reporter about the changes they've made to the story and how they've preserved the "Chinese-ness" of the book's philosophy. Benioff and Weiss also reflect on their last project, a little show called "Game of Thrones."
Found this article about David Benioff & Dan Weiss interesting, especially the part about not getting executive producers credit on House of the Dragon, which was essentially free money.
The real meat is of course the upcoming Three Body Problem, and that tidbit about their cancelled #StarWars movie, which at least had the the angle to be totally detached from current characters, movies and TV shows. #GameOfThrones
If people want a #gameofthrones style adaption of the #Narnia#multiverse , The events leading to the ruins of Charn would be a fascinating concept with the Empress Jadis (The White witch) destroying the world for her own petty power struggles. that could be used to Kick off the reboot starting the the Magicians Nephew aimed strictly at kids.
In THR's new cover story, David Benioff and Dan Weiss reflect on their HBO hit's season eight reaction and explain why they turned down "free" producer credits on its spinoffs.
There's a scene in the Game of Thrones where a man called The Hound finds out where an old farmer has hidden his silver. The Hound promptly robs him. There was, of course, no way to call the police. The state was not there to defend the old man's property. This was a fairly typical problem in ancient and medieval times.
In modern times if Mr Jones kept a bag of gold on his kitchen table, few would try to steal it because most peeps would be deterred by the threat of incarceration. Jones can call the cops. The state sometimes fails, but it sincerely tries to protect Jones' property rights. But even this low level of risk is too much for most people. Mr Smith prefers to keep his money in the bank. The state insures his deposits there. Official channels allow him to access his monetary assets, and he has legal recourse if there is any dispute.
The BitCoin ideology however says that the state should have no role in the financial system. So BitCoiners take their money out of legally existing institutions. They might put their virtual cash on an exchange, the crypto equivalent of a bank, but those have been collapsing as their founders simply stole the money.
So crypto enthusiasts are left trying to figure out how to keep their valuables (which are really just long chains of letters and numbers stored on a computer) safe in their own homes. It's a return to ancient times where everyone has to fend for themselves. Today it's not likely to be a nasty barbarian with a battle ax, but the chances hackers will try to get your crypto wealth thru digital trickery are very high.
If you want to spend the rest of your life trying to stay one step ahead of the hackers who would love to steal the virtual bag of cyber-gold you keep in your living room, go ahead and convert your assets to BitCoin. The vast majority of the population will not join you on your journey back to the medieval stateless Wild West of crypto-finance.
