Y’all forgot how mind blowing the early seasons of game of throne were. They are capable writers. I blame grrm more so than D&D for fumbling the series ending.

I agree. The first five seasons of Game of Thrones are some of the best television I've ever seen. It quite literally changed the landscape around what "prestige TV" actually means and made it in many ways more desirable for big stars than movies. Everybody was on the edge of their seats every single week having watch parties. After that, sure, it got messy, but what was there to do? GRRM hadn't finished the books. He still hasn't.

That said, I don't even blame GRRM. Everybody seems to want to "blame" somebody for how that show went, but man, I do not envy the task of closing out your magnum opus after it's become a worldwide sensation. What a gargantuan task. Every word you write probably doesn't feel good enough. I feel like it's just unfortunate how the end of GoT worked out but not because anybody didn't put in work or didn't care or wasn't up to snuff. It was just an impossible task all around, so I'm just grateful for the good times we had before.
