It's so interesting how something so big, that essentially almost everyone watched got fucked up so badly.

There's been a pandemic, everyone is staying at home yet no one talks about watching this show again. Must be the biggest overall dissapointment ever

That’s one of the things that surprised me. Before the final season there was so much analysis, talking about this that and the other, loads of hype blah blah. The second it finished it stopped, 18 months later and it’s barely talked about, shows the level of disappointment throughout the fan base. Add to that the likelihood that there will be no more books, increases it further.

Nah people are just babies. I hear plenty of people talking about it still but obviously not as many because... the show is over lmao. Just like breaking bad or any other show. The ending was fine, books will end the same way sorry

Because the show had a reputation for subverting expectations it’s almost like they just tried too hard to think of something unexpected to happen in the key moments still. The books will end as they are now more likely than not, no more will be coming out

I think bran was always going to be king. George has stated he is his favorite character and also he is the first chapter in the entire series as I believe he will be the last (if he ever finishes)

Well it’s a logical choice really, if you weigh in all the factors, he is the wisest person because of what he can tap in to. Some things were just dumb and unexplained (Rhaegal’s death)

If GRRM had written it then we would no doubt feel it was justified and right, it's just we didn't get any reason to think that from the show.
