*SIIIIIIIIIIIIGH*

I wish Pam was exaggerating, but no -- they're not.

Let's put it this way. I had roped dozens of my own friends into watching the show with me by Season 5's premiere. And had I known how it was all going to end, I wouldn't have ever said anything to those friends at all. It WAS the greatest show of our lifetimes, but the ending is extremely flat and unsatisfying.

Seriously. It was a betrayal of the highest order. Cancellation would have been preferable, even. -.-

And the way they stuffed it all into the final episode was appalling. I would have rather been left on a cliff hanger and forced to read the book. I haven’t even finished the last book (I wasn’t much into the show) until I saw the final. I can’t even think about reading that type of ending slowly over hundreds of pages. Fuck that.

Now that is a powerful story, but is it as powerful as the story of Bran the Broken?

I’ve seen the first two or three seasons. Maybe four. I’ve been thinking about going back and finishing it off.

Is there a point at which it takes a turn, and it’s worth watching up until that point?

Or, would you tell somebody who didn’t know anything about it to just skip it completely?

The show is absolutely phenomenal through Season Six.

Season Seven starts to get a bit wobbly if you think about it too much, and then...Season 8 is just awful. Rushed, terrible, and completely unsatisfying. Fuck those showrunners.
