This was a show that was totally cool spending 2-3 seasons for a payoff. I can't believe I'm still upset by how they speedran through everything.

I'm still surprised how GoT was on the forefront of pop culture and within 2 seasons any and all interest was morphed to apathetic disdain. No one really talks about it anymore. It's only "they fucked up the ending". Blue balled an entire fandom so bad that it impacted the show runners careers. I'm really hoping HotD brings the fandom back (also, a reboot of the last 2 seasons as a whole new show would be dope)

I can't think of another pop culture fall from grace as dramatic and quick. It's always amusing seeing all the overstock GoT merch at hobby stores that they can't unload. Nobody gives a fuck.

The final season fucked up so badly that it killed not only my love for the show, but the Game of Thrones universe as a whole. I had planned to read the books and certainly would have watched HotD, but now I just don't care anymore.

I also felt like that but after some time i watched HotD and it was great, the only thing i'm worried about is it getting worse with the new seasons like GoT did
