If it was made five years from now some LBQT freak would be running every kingdom and having sex with children.

...and took place thousands of years before the original series.

Was that found in caves?

She’s aging pretty well when you factor her actual age into the assessment.

I guess she’s a good actress but if I see her listed in the cast of a movie, I pass; they’re invariably dull and convoluted plots that resolve to insignificance. The commitment and professionalism she invests in her roles is impressive, but never enough to make the production anything more than the dud it started out as.

It’s curious: how does a competent and iconic actress like her become such a reliable indicator of bad cinema?

Probably the most overhyped tv show of the last 10-20 years.

After the crappy last season, I’ve lost all interest in GOT.

The series was to be distinct from GoT in look and feel

Begging the question, why?

“They were so stupid to rush the last season. Now they’ve killed their golden goose.”

the ending of GoT was so awful, we instantly lost all interest in all things GoT forever. We had been excitedly looking forward to watching the whole series again, until the final episode made the entire series completely pointless ...

“And it is really poignant to what we are dealing with today”

what she REALLY means is what SHE and her hollywood leftist buddies are dealing with, because i’m pretty sure she doesn’t mean what I’M dealing with, namely watching President Trump achieve success after success despite practically all political and media forces opposing him, and watching the media and their Democrat Party subsidiary completely self-destruct, and anticipating one of the greatest political victories in 2020 that our country has ever seen ...

Because the show was already starting to get stale.

If you want (for example) to come up with a zombie show now, you'd better make sure that it has a different look than the ones already on TV now, because people are already getting tired of the ones currently available.

Yep, I could have written your post. I have digital copies of all but the last season. I won’t be getting the last season and I doubt I will re-watch the other ones. In fact, I think I’m burnt out on continuing series shows like GOT.
