I loved the fact that the show had the balls to kill off the protagonist, again and again. I always wondered how much influence George RR had over the last 2-3 seasons. Did he really want Tyrion to become what he became? Or Danerys? Or didn't he know himself. I think Martin just kept cashing his check from HBO and quit on ASOIAF. Fucker, the books were great. I'm not a fan of stuff like this, count me as one of the few who did not like Lord of the Rings. But this caught me. I was so gobsmacked by the ending of Hardhome. And almost vomited at the end.

I think Hardhome is the single best episode they ever did, but the white walker storyline ultimately went nowhere. I don't need every single loose end tied up for me, but how about a single loose end?

I do like LOTR though.

Did you ever read the books? The White Walkers are mentioned but barely encountered. And the Night King is someone totally different. The WW were great, up to a point. But ubervillians who have no personality are a snoozefest. Like the cylons on the original Battlestar Galactica.

I like the LOTR books. I remember staying up all night reading the Battle at the gates of Minas Tirith and screaming "YES, fucking A!" when the King of the Ringwraiths was killed and scared my girlfriend to death. But the movies, meh.
