Don't be mad at D&D. They're doing their best.

Are you folks really angry at D&D because they aren't as good at writing ASOIAF as GRRM?

Because that would be a hell of a thing.

If you want to be mad at someone, and it's cool if you do, be mad at GRRM for basically leaving the whole production hanging.

I love ASOIAF, and I love the show (even Sunday's episode), but I've got enough sense to let each exist separately at this point.

You've been melting long enough. Let's enjoy the ending we get instead of endlessly bitching about it.

The majority of fans liked the episode, the internet just loves to blow shite way out of proportion.

If George finished the damn books we wouldn't have to worry about D&D finishing out the story with minimal help from George. At least George told them how it ends. Which by the way means it ends with a battle for the throne so yes the NK was not the endgame

Don't mistake the M/TV opinion for the overall public opinion.

Most people I know thought it was one of the best hours+ of TV ever, or at least close to it.

The only friends I have that didn't like it are the same ones that think they're smarter than everyone else because they ready all the books multiple times and don't feel like this is how it should go. ETA: The same people have bitched about basically everything since the show passed up the books.

I don't personally know anyone that didn't love it. Also many of the big GOT YouTube channels loved besides Preston but he hates everything post season 4

And since the ends in both the books and show will be pretty much the same they'll still be pissed

what if i'm not mad at anyone, but just want to point out the declining quality of writing since the source material has run out?

am i not allowed to criticize multi-millionaires who produce tv shows?

I’ve heard a lot complaints from my hodor wife and a lot of non-book reading co-workers.

It’s more about how awful Jon Snow Is at battle planning

It’s been declining since Dance With Dragons so season 5. That is why the bitching on here has been so annoying. I am not sure why y’all expected another season 3/4

There is a reason Martin hasn’t finished the books, he wrote an impossibly massive world and can’t refocus it towards an ending

is it fair to compare their writing to one of the greatest fantasy writers of all time?

I'm looking forward to the who wrote it better

When zombie Martin eventually finishes.

My hope is that he has really written all he needs towards the end and is just dividing and editing. But I know it's misplaced.
