It almost hurt to see how hard the people behind the scenes worked, and how much they sacrificed, just for the final season to be rushed. I have a bit more sympathy for D+D now. When you need a world class team to back up your show, and they are exhausted and can't do anymore, you kind of have to end it, right?
And honestly, I could watch 10 more of these. GoT producers, please just throw everything you have into the $400 8 season box set - I've held off buying the seasons from the beginning so I can have the full set, please make it worth my while.
