9 Reasons why the Game of Thones Ending Didn't Work
I can't find a positive review...but I'll see...
Ah found one..well, sort of...A Positive Review of Game of Thrones
The gist? Game of Thrones had a shocking and jarring ending for most people who'd read the books and watched the series. So shocking people signed a petition to get the ending re-done. (Which I personally found sort of silly and insane. I mean seriously, do people have any idea how expensive that season was?)
Some liked it. I happen to personally know of at least 20 people who loved the ending. I know because we debated it and then decided to agree to disagree. I don't agree with them - but we also wanted separate things from the series and perceive things differently. Things that bothered me, didn't bother them. That said? I wasn't furious or anything. It's just a television series. But I did warn my mother off - she liked Dany, Jamie, and Tyrion, and the dragons. She was not a fan of Jon Snow, Sansa, or Bran.
But it did shock most people and annoy them.

I felt none of the characters were handled well. It was as if the writers got tired of the story and just wanted to be done with it. Their handling of the ending - did cost them the Star Wars deal. They'd been signed on to do the next trilogy of Star Wars films, but that fell apart after the GoT fiasco.
