RE: OT: Game of Thrones Discussion - Potential Spoilers Warning
That's a bit much. Not everyone is a fan of how Benioff & Weiss have tried to rush the third act of this story, which GRRM was going to cover across three books. As I said earlier, they have made some absolutely horrible narrative choices since they left behind the source material. What they have done has lots of attention grabbing moments at the cost of a rational narrative. The best parts of this season were things that GRRM supplied them, or has spent years developing. The only nod I give to the show runners is that the direction and cinematography of episode 9 was superb - though they spent so much of their budget on it that other episodes greatly suffered.

I'm a little bothered with some of the actors vocalizing haste or relief to exit the show. Natalie Dormer, Finn Jones, and I believe I heard that Sophie Turner even made a semi serious comment that she hoped Sansa was killed. I think most of them realize that while the payoff moments for prior buildup are worthy, the ending is going to feel very shallow and likely with more of the plot holes, odd or lacking character development, and other mistakes already showing themselves in seasons 5 & 6.
