Yeah, that's when they took two books of content and compressed them into one season while cutting large segments and adding their own crap in that went no where.

I was wondering, because Martin's an OG soap opera TV writer or something, it's not like him to leave all those loose ends.

A finale so atrocious, it gives one of the actors an existential crisis.
I imagine Kit pacing down the halls of that retreat, mumbling "Should have been me to stab that lich bastard... instead I get to yell at a CGI dragon that I couldn't even see... You know that? There was only a red ball where the head was supposed to be? It should have been me. It should have been me. Fuck. It should have been me. I only got to scream like an idiot at a non-existing dragon. And what the fuck is that farewell to my fucking direwolf? It should have been me, I tell you!"

And that's what drove him to drinking. He should just kill himself already.

Martin made the horrendous decision to make the events of books 4 and 5 happen pretty much simultaneously. Better writers than D&D could have made it work over multiple seasons. The problem isn't quite that they combined those two books, it's that they did it poorly and did it over too little screen time. This show needed showrunners who gave a shit and a few more seasons.

He and the rest of the Stark kids probably figured that there wouldn't be much else for them in acting after this. They're not good actors.

Nah, they're fine. (The youngest non-character Stark aside.) Harrington did a miniseries about the Gunpowder Plot that was very good.

Maybe he's upset that everyone hates the ending and he's hiding out.

Also lol @ "greatest TV show in history." Fuck off.

Dude, Kit Harington is almost as much of a book obsessive as I am, and if I was forced to not only put on a brave face and try to shill this ending, but actively participate in its creation as probably the 2nd most important character, I'd be checking into rehab too. Even if I wasn't struggling with substance abuse issues as is, I'd do it only to have plausible deniability in ignoring all the journalists who are going to be pestering me for comment.

I've been watching the entirety of the series for the first time. I just made it to season 8. I'm not exactly sure where it went off the rails but man, they really ran this thing into the fucking ground.

It started deviating in like... season 5, right?
Click to expand...
Depends on your standards of deviation. There were some very minor differences as early as season 1. The first big alterations to arcs that affect character motivation were in season 2. Season 5 is when the hardest divergences began though yeah, where they're no longer following the books as even a broad outline but just doing their own thing.

they should have used this song in episode 5.
I wish that I had thought of the song when episode 5 was aired.
