Hear me out. The beginning of game of thrones, everyone raved about. Then they ran out of source material, and it went down hill from there. 3BP is a completed series, so I'm hopeful yet

It's not just they ran out of source material, it's that the stuff they made up suggested they didn't really understand the source material in the first place; GoT was great in the early seasons despite its showrunners, not because of them. The source material was the only thing keeping it together, and once they lost that they had nothing.

Honestly, never saw an episode of game of thrones, so I'm just going off of what I've heard from others.

lucky bastard. if you ever do just stop at season 6 and pretend the show got cancelled.

Haha yeah, that's what everyone tells me to do. I was considering reading the books before trying the show, but I have a feeling I'll just be more disappointed in the show if I do.

They ran out of source material but also rushed to kill off the series so that they could go work on (and quickly be fired from) Star Wars.

If Dumb and Dumber are involved with it, I don't want anything to do with that.
