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.)
