No matter how the show end, it's almost guranteed to be controversial and divisive.


Let's face it, the series ending is NOT going to be universally liked lol. Too many people have WILDLY different ideas on what that bittersweet outcome will look like. Far too many people, and different types of people watching this show. It will be controversial. I can imagine the shitstorm erupting all across different message boards.

That's fine with me. I'm fully prepared to spend the subsequent 5-10 years arguing about it.

It'll be like Lost all over again.

nothing will eer be as aawful as LOST. worst show in history. amazing first season though

Have you wacthed How I Met Your Mother?

LOST was not the worst show in history. That would be anything that says "Kardashian"

Even if you didn't like the finale, LOST had a lot of great moments. And the ending was nowhere near as bad as Xena, Dawson's Creek, Star Trek: Enterprise, and many other shows with scripted endings that were just putrid.

reply

LOST is the worst only because of how incredibly deep and fascinating and genius its premise was. The mythos. The mystery. The world building. It should have been an all time great. Probably the best first season of all time, not being hyperbolic. There were warning signs (starting with S1 finale not revealing what was in the hatch), but several seasons in it was clear the showrunners had zero idea of what they were doing and were flying by the seat of their pants. I, like many others, held onto hope that our viewing investment would pay off. It was trash.

I feel sick thinking about it

I liked Xena's ending. It was a fitting end to that character.

Never saw Lost, but the finale of Seinfeld was just a crappy dull one hour clip episode.

It is war.....

I got over the TV show endings long ago. Too much hype and expectation put on the last 10 minutes of a show that has taken up 70 hours of your life.

If those subsequent 70 hours were amazing then the last few minutes can be forgiven. As long as it isn't complete nonsense.

reply

Lost, Battlestar Galactica endings == Complete nonsense. Unforgivable.

That said, I can't see that happening with GoT.

reply

I loved Lost but have to agree. They were called out on the ending about 10 minutes into season 1.

reply

I said the same thing about Battlestar Galactica, that it would never happen to BSG. But it happened anyway.

reply

Yeah I just have far more confidence in GoT because the ending actually comes from GRRM instead of D&D just flying blind like they did this season creating filler to get to the ending. I know it's not going to be a bunch of burned out scriptwriters overreaching for a fitting ending.

BSG's ending was epically weak, and I even read that they had overreached on that lame ass ending. They had settled on a different ending where the cylons destroy each other over jealousy but scrapped it and decided to go for the epic ending which turned out to be stupid.

I know the GoT ending will be epic since it's something GRRM thought through.

reply

i think we already know how its going to end. everybody wil die except daenerys and when she finally reaches kings landing everything is destroyed. we already saw that foreshadow when she had her vision in season3?

reply

I think people keep forgetting about that vision.

reply

I just hope they commit to whatever vision they go with. Phoned-in finales -- the glorified clip show the producers of "Seinfeld" pretended was a suitable finale --are the worst.
