I can see the last season being even worse than Fringe season 5,Lost season 4-6,or Heroes season 4.
Bad thing is I have to watch it,just to see the lame ending thats going to happen [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

my hope is that they are fast forwarding through the story to get to an epic ending. the ending should be painted out pretty clearly to them by GRRM, and as such would not depend on original material. whereas GRRM has said that while he knows the main stops along the way to the end, he hasn't filled in all the fluff to get there. i think D&D are just skipping over the parts GRRM hasnt figured out yet.

but moreover, i dont think D&D care anymore, or that their hearts arent in it anymore. they always said that if they could get to the red wedding and pull it off they would be happy. i think the first 4 seasons were amazing, and it starts to get painful during season 5 and throughout most of season 6.

Agreed, the show has really declined over the last couple of seasons and the shoehorned agendas are starting to become more prevalent

You can't blame D&D for going ahead of the books.. That's all on GRRM.

I feel like the show has gotten stronger every season...this season was my favorite, but thats probably just because it was new and i was itching for GoT in a bad way.

Maybe I am just too big of a fan, but I don't see a way they can f#ck it up at this point, it's a point where all the cards have been dealt and there isn't much beyond nature plot progression and some bad a$$ battles to come. Any direction they take it ends with Danny attacking King's Landing and Jon battling White Walkers in the North - both of which I am super excited to see.

I feel like Bran crossing the Wall is going to be a tipping point. Soon as he crosses it the Nights King will be able too because of touching him in the worg/dream world and maybe thats what gets the rest of the world to unite (Under Danny/Dragons of course) when the wall comes crashing down in epic fashion.

I guess I am just not worried about the show going forward because almost any direction they take it is an auto-win. Barring some sort of complete mental breakdown from show owners this final season will be full throttle the entire time once the snowball starts rolling down the hill.

Nice thing about not watching this show is i dont have to wait a year for the next season lol.

Incoming Boardwalk Empire season 5 clone!

But instead of putting the series down like a rabid dog could we substitute the showrunners?

I think you are right they don't care,they can still pull in the ratings no matter what garbage they write now,also pretty much the same I loved seasons 1-4, 5 went meh but still had some good plotlines going on and 6 was a rush job(thats me being kind btw.)

I was very sceptical about the GoT series before I started watching it as I did not think they could pull it off but they did.Now though for me they have ruined it,next season is going to be plotless,they could have atleast kept Marg and HS in for this season to add some extra oh shit moments via some devious plot,i guess this all falls on the now clueless Littlefinger [You must be logged in to view images.

I'm really hoping this opens the gate for a Wit'ch war series from James Clemens,but I think that might just be a pipe dream as the Wit'ch seires is far too brutal for mainstream TV.

I regretted watching Season 5 of Boardwalk Empire after the fact.

Its going to take some self-reflection for me to determine whether the remaining plot devices are enough to justify the risk, instead of putting it off and staying it in favor of the books.

I think that's where the educated armchair critics of premium cable TV series are at right now-- deciding whether the next 13 episodes will take away from the GoT experience.

The good news is that there is plenty of time to make that decision?
