Trailer For HBO's Game Of Thrones Documentary: Jon Snow Actor Weeps During Season 8 Table Read

@xboxps2cube: HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Yep, everyone saying things that you don't want to hear is part of a vast, well-funded conspiracy. BOOOGA BOOOGA BOOOGA!!!! FAKE NEWS!!!!! REALITY IS WHAT I WANT IT TO BE!!!!

BTW: THIRD, it's that petition is essentially internet polling easily subjected to brigading and people signing more than once. It in no way, shape or form constitutes valid evidence of anything. Fourth, that those suffering butthurt tend to be a loud minority that convinces itself everyone agrees with them because they're being loud and creating an internet presence for themselves while everyone else goes on living their lives like normal, non-butthurt, non-bitching people...well, that's nothing new. You may now return to your regularly scheduled echo-chamber delusion reinforcement.

@aross2004: You literally talk in nothing but vagaries. Almost nothing has been inconsistent and instead of attempting to cite an example, you just declare it like a truth of the universe. It's not. If you thought Jamie would find redemption, you clowned yourself. If you thought Dany wouldn't eventually be defined by the choices she made as either having avoided or succumbed to her genetic predisposition to madness, you clowned yourself. The same goes for almost all of it. Literally no character was decimated. Their threads make perfect sense for the most part, and while I can agree with the feeling that maybe 6 episodes could've been 10 to give things a little bit more time to percolate, some characters' endings to feel a little more fleshed out, there's just no factual argument that those ends are inconsistent with what came before or as resolutions of the inner conflicts that they've carried with them or even represented through the entire series.

@Calikidd86: No, you've read several fan theories you attached yourself to and which you liked better than the real ending in hindsight. There's literally no inconsistencies with the way this is ending. Dany has been hinted to be susceptible to madness all along...from the very first season. Jon's always been a feckless, accidental hero. Tyrion's arc has always teased his internal tug-of-war between loyalty to the family versus Dany versus the realm and what's best for the people. The Hound's always been barreling towards a revenge scene. Jamie was always going to fail at redemption. Cersei's always been supremely arrogant and convinced King's Landing was unassailable, blinded by her self-satisfied conceits. The Night King's army was always going to cause a precipitous spiraling of events, ending most of the intrigue and political maneuvering that got everyone's brains lit up through the first several seasons. Numerous main characters were always going die seemingly meaningless, pointless, tragically useless deaths...because that's Martin's core message about the fruit all of this bears. Peoples' expectations were uninformed and completely out of whack with the real story...and to hear complaints about things not being dragged out and fluffed when everyone knew ahead of time that they had just 6 episodes, some extended, to wrap this all up, is just plain silly. Of course you weren't going to have an extended travel sequence from Winterfell to King's Landing or other stuff that would "round it out". There just wasn't time...not in the story or in the season's framework...nor was there really a need for it to finish the plot.

I've read every book 3 or 4 times. I started them in 1996 when the first one was released and the only one in existence...random grab from the fantasy section, which I can barely find anything I haven't read at this point. I have a very intimate knowledge of all of the story and the characters. He takes so damn long writing the next ones that I've repeatedly started over upon release of a new one. This isn't about accepting "whatever" or having no standards. It's about recognizing that people have ridiculous, irrational unrealistic and untenable expectations and that most of the b-tching out there is from people who are talking out of their sphincters, haven't even read one of the books and think they know better than everyone else. I suspect the books will do more to satisfy people who had the unreasonable expectation that the TV series would dive deep into character arcs while wrapping things up, but that's the nature of books versus TV...another reason peoples' expectations were out of whack.

@Calikidd86: 2nd this
