It's so amazing what happened with this show. There are so many shows that go downhill deep into it and by the end aren't amazing. Plenty of shows that fuck up a series finale. But no show has ever been as good, been as hyped and not just let down after a 2 year hiatus, but like be actually terrible. And I don't need to read the JSP room to realize that this was the biggest fuck up of all time. This show on rotten tomatoes goes from a 94/93 in season 6, a 93/85 in season 7... a drop-off but not crazy... to a 54/35 in season 8. I mean holy shit. No show has ever been this hyped. This was and still is but for the wrong reasons, a cultural phenomenon.
You could almost do anything, you have 2 years and 6 episodes to blow our mind. Each episode is movie length. You have all the characters built up and they can go in a million cool directions and reach their peaks for better or for worse. And we got that. Pretty incredible. I'm actually enamored by how much they actually fucked this up. It's like the show Revolution, I don't know if any of you have seen it, but it had such a cool plot but it was just written so poorly and I only kept watching because it was actually funny to see how ridiculous they would get with it.
I'll surely tune into the D&D Star Wars train wreck.
/e Also I can't wait to look back and see what a mistake they made in not making two more seasons of GoT and instead going to make trainwreck Star Wars movies, it's absolutely going to destroy their legacies. They'll be remembered as the bozos that were great at adapting a book but couldn't write to save their lives for two of the most important cultural films/series in our life times in GoT and Star Wars. And god forbid that go ahead and start making that series where slavery still exists in the South.
Anyone who thinks S8 is a 54 is a retard. It isn't up for debate.
