Who knows.
All and all I'd say the show had some brilliant and groundbreaking scenes and episodes, but it didn't add up to much. And I've never seen a show diverge so much in quality from episode to episode.
It was probably too ambitious, ultimately. Oh well.
The one thing I'll say about the last season is that Emelia Clarke went from a terrible actress to a passable one. Wish I could say the say about that Kit guy.

It's not the failure of the actor that he didn't get better is what I'm saying. The writers really didn't give him much more to work with once he was "promoted" to the main character. It didn't help his love story with Dany was so half baked and rushed.durdencommatyler wrote:Um... that's literally Jon in every season.Monkey_Driven wrote:Count the amount of lines he had other than "you're my queen" or "Dany" or "I don't want it".durdencommatyler wrote:That's absurd.Monkey_Driven wrote:To be fair, Kit had very little to work with this season.BurtReynolds wrote:They basically crammed 3 seasons into 3 episodes and unforgivably dropped a half dozen plotlines.

Kit is certainly not on the same level as Dinklage or Lena, but he can hold his own.
I think the final season was good, and I’m pleased with how and where the characters ended up. But I think the final episode was by far the weakest episode, probably of the entire series.Monkey_Driven wrote:There are so many ways to evaluate a series finale.

I saw/heard something about he actors and crew being bored to death in the remote filming locations. Also you could understand with such a large cast that a certain percentage of the actors would want to move on to other things. Unfortunately this is real life.BurtReynolds wrote:They basically crammed 3 seasons into 3 episodes and unforgivably dropped a half dozen plotlines. Does GoT not make enough money for HBO?
