That's enough for me to know I don't need to watch that video because it's NOT better.

Did anyone watch the same battle I did? Because no one was falling back from that. Even had they tried, do you think they'd be able to stay ahead of the Night King? Tired and wounded as they were? For a thousand miles? That's laughable from a group of people complaining things didn't make sense in the last season. Maybe I'm taking things out of context since I didn't watch the video, but come on.

All the hate seems to be coming from either the rushed nature of the season, or "things didn't turn out like I wanted."

I agree the season was rushed. That's a legit point. Some plot points needed more time to flesh out to make more sense. But that wouldn't have changed the outcome. If you (meaning anyone, not you Tetragrammaton) didn't like it because it didn't end the way you wanted, well, welcome to GoT! Anyone remember the Red Wedding? Did you want that to happen?

I'm fine with the way it ended. Some parts were perfect. Jon's ending. Some made me mad. I wanted Drogon to eat Cersei, but we often don't get what we want in this show. It's funny that the very thing that made the show great is pissing people off now that it's over.

To quote a friend of mine, even a bad episode of GoT is better than anything else on TV.

I really hope the massive backlash to the final season puts the breaks on the various prequel and spinoff series ideas.

If D+D have nothing to do with them I'm fine with them moving ahead. Plenty of eras worth exploring.

I'll watch the spinoffs.

Is that the one based in the Age of Heroes? Lot of mystery there and fertile ground for myth and reality. Key is writing as assume budget will be there.

Taking place thousands of years before the events of “Game of Thrones,” Goldman’s series chronicles the world’s descent from the golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour. And only one thing is for sure: from the horrifying secrets of Westeros’ history to the true origin of the white walkers, the mysteries of the East to the Starks of legend–it’s not the story we think we know.

Goldman co-created the project with George R.R. Martin, whose “A Song of Ice and Fire” novel series serves as the basis for “Game of Thrones.” Goldman and Martin wrote the story, with Goldman writing the teleplay. She will also serve as showrunner. She and Martin will executive produce along with Daniel Zelman and “Game of Thrones” executive producer Vince Gerardis.

Only 1 has reached the production stage, and that's just for a pilot, so no guarantee that even that one goes to series.

Also, all 5 are prequels(distant past), so don't expect any returning characters.
