This is why I don't watch TV in general. Game of Thrones being the quintessential example of stringing you along for the eye balls with a garbage ending IMO. Give me movies with a beginning and end. Even a trilogy is fine. I loved Weeds but after a while they just turned the main character into someone I despise. She was my favorite part in the beginning.
Given the revelation of Red's illness in past seasons and Elizabeth's death (who he was grooming to take over his empire), it seemed rather inevitable that it was going to end the way it did (not necessarily the means, but the result).
Agree to disagree I guess, but I also didn't read the books to compare. Sanderson's books are enough of a commitment to discourage trying out other High Fantasy novels.
That was kind of my point. Slow pacing, keeping you roped in and rushing to finish.
Yeah, that's what I mean. They way it happened was just dumb. And the whole "rage against the dying of the light" bit came off super shallow. Just the last 10 minutes or so were really dumb IMHO. I actually liked this last season and liked the story they were building in the final 4 episodes.
All they ever said was that Red was preparing Liz to run his empire when the time came. Other than that, it seemed Red was involved with Liz's mother at one time and gave his oath to care for Liz. I seem to remember a time when there was an envelope containing the answer as to whether or not Red was her father, but I don't think it was ever revealed. Hard to remember everything, the show lasted a long time and COVID put it on hold for a while.
Yeah, the last few minutes weren't stellar, but I'm not sure what would have gone down better. I guess Red died on his own terms...kind of??? Donald finally got his man...sort of???
