    Game of Thrones was best-in-class TV until the last season and a half. Hating the end doesn’t change that.

      Seasons 1 - Battle of the Bastards was some of the best television I’ve seen in my life. Truly masterpiece, all the way through. I’ve never seen that level of excitement either from fans, we had watch parties every year. That’s what made the ending sting so badly, was because of how good it was.

        Yep I still watch the last 20 minutes of hardhome every so often. It’s one of the greatest action sequences ever. BoB was also outstanding. The ending will always sting, loads of viewers really committed and had so much emotion wrapped up in it… then D and D couldn’t be fucked to do a good job.

        There’s no excuse, they could have delegated, ripped off fan theories, got input from other writers etc. It’s not at all hard to make it better.
