HBO should've got new writers once D&D decided that they didn't want to do 2 full length seasons to finish the show. To rush the ending in 6 episodes lost HBO a shyt ton of money and the actors as well.

Man.....if a woman had of won the iron throne that season finale would be getting a lot more buzz......regardless of the fact the episode was lackluster......

where did this Howland Reed shyt appear from? They better not insult people even more by saying that was Reed after not letting him speak

This was the worst they really think we’re dumb

I love the internet. I love the memes that shyt on the crap writing.

All in all, it wasn’t the best way to end it, but I’m not too attached to it to actually care too much.

Can’t believe they did Jon Snow like that.

That was a boring finale and so predictable. As Jon was walking towards Dany, it was obvious he was going to kill her since there would be no other opportunity too. Just, dumb!

I just wanted to come in here and state the Ghost and Drogon are the only characters that matter by the end of the finale and the only real nikkas left alive

They really sabotaged the show just to jump to Star Wars. And let's be real, based on how Disney operates...you just know these dudes aren't gonna last for all 3 films. They'll get the first film done, then be removed over "creative differences" or wanting to do different things outside of Hollywood (ie more HBO stuff).

They could have left the show and let Bryan Cogman (who was the most loyal writer to the books) take over as showrunner. Could have let him do S7 and S8 correctly, with 10 episodes. Hell, 8 episodes each would have been ok. Instead they crashed the plane into the mountain...


I really want to hear Martin's thoughts. The show has made him millions and I doubt he'd shyt on it, but if he finishes TWOW and inevitably does convention appearances he WILL be asked pointed questions about this. And he will give his view. We know he wanted 10-12 seasons, which is ridiculous. But surely making S7 and S8 complete seasons would have done the trick. Basically I think the showrunners panicked after S5/S6, where things started falling apart, and decided they needed to bounce.

on his blog, GRRM hasn't said 1 word about it. not even a reflection post. nothing. he also declined a cameo in Season 8

that really speaks volumes.

Did @obarth ever drop reviews for the 2-3 eps before the finale? Or are we gonna get a final super post?
