> "What were the writers thinking?" As for the Game of Thrones -- that's exactly what JRRM envisioned. At some point he sat together with GoT storywriters and producers and laid off all the plans, how who dies, and of course the finale. I think the finale was awesome -- what a nice populist autocratic ruler may become. That sometimes life is not what you want it to be, and you cannot change it. That your favorite characters don't always win. PS: I only regret they pictured protagonist Tyrion (the dwarf) somewhat nice. The whole GMMR's idea was that his character was repulsive, incredibly ugly, but did good things all the way. That would stand off from pretty much all the movies, when I can tell who's who from the first minute (good are cute, bad are ugly).

The "end result" is not quite the same as what they mean by finale. The shortcuts taken in the final season of GoT, my word, are unforgivable when placed alongside the care and detail taken up to that point. By the pace of the series up until the start of the final season, there should have been two more seasons to do it "properly". The decline of Daenerys deserved detailed, focused nuance as power and inherent genetic disposition combined to corrupt and disconnect her completely from reality. And Jon Snow's slow drawn-out torture as her decline played out, should have been comparable to Theon's at the hands of Ramsay. It could have been beautiful. Edited to add: It may have been the final two seasons that were greatly accelerated, not just the last. I can't remember, I don't want to re-visit the series because of it.

  and they needed to be full seasons and not the shorter and shorter seasons they were running towards the end. 8 episodes was too short (and the production schedule far too long) let alone 6 episodes. Perfectly eulogized by the pitch meeting guy: “sorry, just not enough time!!!” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jAhKOV3nImQ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jAhKOV3nImQ top comment: > You wanna know how bad season 8 was? We are in The middle of a long quarantine, and not a single person I know is rewatching this show. Hard to overstate how bad hbo fucked up there, I wish they’d have thrown it away and just reshot it with a team who wanted to be there. (the directors needed it to be over so they could go do Star Wars… and Disney was so dismayed with how unprofessionally they’d handled it that they took Star Wars away from them lol.)

The problem isn't that she turned evil it's that the way it was portrayed felt hamfisted and didn't really make sense why she turned evil
