For what its worth, I'm enjoying the story telling. It is rushed but I have been entertained.
Personally, entertainment that annoys you and makes you angry is still entertainment. It is still worth your time. All the people complaining and re-writing episodes will eventually realize "this show had a huge impact on me".
If a form of entertainment leaves you 100% satisfied it is just weird ha.
Football is entertainment for most people. I have watched LFC lift 11 trophies in almost 30 years of watching them. Every season has annoyed me and I would re-write most. But complaining doesn't make it better.
This GoT loving Liverpool FC fan gets it.
I'm loving the analogies with LFC in particular. We've had brilliant games where the last minutes are basically time-wasting and playing for the result. Doesn't invalidate the rest of the match though does it?
We've had seasons we would all rewrite. Keep a character here; lose a character there (sorry, player); definitely change THAT result... Guess what? Despite the disappointment, we get over it; realise that we, as fans, have little to zero control over the outcomes and eventually, we move on.
Basically, moaning (sorry, intelligently critiquing) about something you have no control over is a waste of time and emotion and, as far as this series is concerned, little more than hysterical fanfic where people say what SHOULD have happened. Well guess what? It didn't. GoT over it.
