I'm torn.
On one hand, I don't want the show to end. After all, it was very entertaining until the end. On the other hand, I'm glad the show runners don't get any more opportunities to mess with my favorite characters.
For example, what was the point of this whole "Jaime leaving Brienne" nonsense? Why not just end his story with him and Brienne at Winterfell? This is the typical backwards TV writing bs I'm trying to get away from when watching GoT. "Wouldn't it be cool if"... no, no it's not cool, at all.
Then this borderline creepy obsession with Arya. When did this show turn into ASOIAF: Arya Stark fan fiction edition? Did anyone of you ever play tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons? Or fantasy MMOs when you were younger?
There are people out there who always, ALWAYS, have to play a rogue or an assassin, and they're throwing a temper tantrum if they're not getting their way. Just like some people really want to play FPS games like Battlefield with you, and then spend the entire time sitting on a clock tower sniping bots. It's such a trope, there's even a Youtube series about liveaction roleplayers which has this rogue obsession as one of their sub-plots.
There's just something about roleplaying sneaky characters that seems irresistible to a certain group of people, like it's some kind of fetish. I suspect we're in the unfortunate position where one of the show runners is one of those people and genuinely believes it's the coolest thing in the world to watch Arya do "assassin stuff". It's the only (clean) explanation I can come up with why they're so obsessed with her.
So yeah, the show had a great run, but I really wish we could get a remake once (if) GRRM releases the last two books. Maybe an R-rated animated version of ASOIAF, closer to the books, where some of the actors could reprise their roles?
I would hate it if this was the version of ASOIAF that ends up canon for most people.
