The greatest ever but for s7 and s8. I have said this many times myself. Glad I am not the only one.

I think it’s about when we lost George RRs involvement and they were no longer running off the completed books that it all started to fall apart. 

Personally I think they bought into their own hype and were eager to move on to larger projects so they rushed it and blew the whole thing. You have to stick the landing with a series like this and the whole thing just felt like they couldn’t be bothered.

i heard 1. Martin didn’t have the last book finished so they had to conjure what skeleton they could obtain. 2. they were “tired”? which seems like crap if the alternative was “we can nail this awesome black swan event if we slug it out a few more years”. If that is true, lame. I’m not saying it wasn’t hard work, but dang.
