    Game of Thrones ended so badly that nobody talks about it anymore. You’ll hear the occasional quotes that were memorable, but nobody really cares about the show anymore.

          I can 100% see how the cliff notes version of where he was taking the books would have turned into the shows ending because as we now know the show runners were crap at their jobs

          At the current point in the books it’s fully believable that the shows end is coming, that just wasn’t the case for the show itself lol

          Yep he’s totally stuck and maybe lost interest. I reckon if he wrote the same plot points it’d play out dramatically better and make more sense. For example Dany wouldn’t rapidly go insane and flip personality in the space of 5 minutes. Moot point as the book will never exist

      Lost would be similar to that. It was huge when it was on, then it ended badly and everyone ignores it now, except for talking about how badly it ended

        The only thing worse than the ending is the insufferable people who will endlessly try to convince you how perfect the ending was simply because it’s subverted expectations. Well yeah, everybody turning into a fucking Autobots and blasting off into space would subvert expectations too. That alone doesn’t make it a good ending.

        God Lost was inescapable and then suddenly it was fucking goooone. I never watched it but it was fascinating to see just how poof gone it was.
