any defending the writers is ridiculous.
martin said they should take 11 seasons (full). HBO offered them money / time to do 10 full seasons - much less 10 full episodes per the seasons they did.
showrunners chose to not only cut it short, but hacksaw the characters in doing so... for some low-budget film spectacle (which is "high quality" because it's television and not a feature film).
if they do this to star wars it'll be watching the fucking prequels all over again.
millions and millions of dollars and these lines of dialogue, these character arcs - literally they had the strongest foundation of writing arguably ever to build on and they fucked up that bad?
they were laughing all the way to the bank, or so caught up in hollywood delusions of being famous that their acknowledgement of art and the real world only equates to volume of attention instead of quality of content.
i didn't even like the show as a whole that much, but watching it turn to such shit so fast... i mean for me it was pretty entertaining but i feel bad for those who were emotionally invested in it.
