Not to say it didn't have ISSUES (every person who's told me "I had to give up on GOT because...", I'm generally like, yeah, that sucked a lot), but it was, y'know. Coherent. Dramatic. Had some of the best character work in allll the television.

I don't think it's fair to say "they ran out of books; GRRM had all the good ideas and D&D had diddly squat"

That's why Tyrion's speech at the end felt so flat despite Peter Dinklage being an amazing actor. He gives a whole sermon on the importance of storytelling/writers...
...but like, who cares? That's not what the show was about. It's an afterthought.
Hnnngh.
Ok end of thread weee
