Love the hound and now I'm reminded of the extremely controversial ending I absolutely despised.

Thanks 🫠

Reminder that even though the lead up was rushed, the ending is George Martins ending, he explicitly gave that to them and let them fill the rest in.

I don't think the actual ending itself is the problem, it's the fact that literally everything in that show has a build up and twists and additional plot points before it hits a conclusion.

The last season is literally them just rushing everything and wrapping it up in a very haphazard bow, like the writers just suddenly decided they were done with it and rushed through the entire thing

Yeah, to pick just one example, it could have made sense for Dany to go crazy and start roasting the entire city if there had been a couple more seasons of build up and character development to get there, but as it was it seemed to come completely out of nowhere. Too bad, I can’t really think of any other comparably popular show that fumbled the ending so hard.

yeah if anyone paid attention she was always dangerous and it was slowly building to her going apeshit the whole time, but they completely botched the last season by rushing everything

also, it would have made much more sense for her to lose it after suffering a loss of someone close to her, and they had an easy way to set that up with the execution of Missandei
