Subject: RE: BS: Winter has arrived! (Game of Thrones)
No spoilers but I'm going to talk about the final HBO episode. Apparently George R.R. Martin the author of the written series has been fine with the HBO finish which was not written by him. The video series departed from the written series a couple of seasons ago. The written series was still expanding with more characters and places and conflicts.
Strong points of the series was the fantastic visualization of the cities, keeps, structures including the Wall, and the best dragons ever cast. I didn't see a credit for 'dragon wrangler' but there were literally hundreds of little names flying by musta missed it.
Weak points were few. I really didn't buy the whole 'Hodor' episode. Really hokey. The ending was good considering the immense number of stories and sub-plots that had to be brought together, resolve, or successfully ignored.
If George Double R (first of his name) thinks he can resolve his version, more power to him and he will deserve a 'Ser'. May he live to give it a good finish. Then it can be filmed all over again, sorta like what happened with LOTR.
