Maybe wait until a series has ended or seeing the conclusion of a character before making such a decision?

I mean, it's not entirely their fault. Because D&D don't have 2 brain cells between them to rub together, they utterly failed on every level make this twist logical. They clearly did it for the shock value. Now, it's possible that this is Martin's plan for the books. But because Martin is actually an intelligent person, he'll be a lot smarter and more careful about how it plays out in the books.

So the fifth book came out 8 years ago. There's still no release date for the sixth. And he has at least one more book to write after that one.

Though honestly, if you've avoided getting into it at all so far, you're better off just not bothering. If a miracle ever happens and Martin finishes the books I'd recommend them then, assuming he doesn't go insane in the last couple books and ruin the whole thing (see also the TV series, see also how Stephen King basically handled the Dark Tower series, etc). --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...

Her going mad is not as big of a twist/deal that people are making it out to be. There were several signs she was going to go crazy within this season and even more in the previous ones. Her decision to raze Kings landing was brutal and sad but not particularly surprising.

Villains are popular too True. But they got those tattoos knowing what Darth Vader was. The people with Daenerys tattoos got them believing she was something different than she turned out to be. So I can see them being disappointed with the tattoo now. Same for people who named their kids after her. It's like getting Chinese characters tattooed that you think says love and hope only to find out it really says turd sandwich. Most people would be unhappy. But the guy who got them knowing they say turd sandwich is going to be happy with them. --- John Mellencamp said it best "Life goes on long after the thrill of living is gone." ...

I wouldn't say season 6 and 7 were trainwrecks, you can totally tell that's where they went past the books but they still have their good moments. It's nowhere near as bad as what The Walking Dead became, for example. --- "I'm the straightest guy on this board. I'm so straight that I watch gay porn." - Smarkil ... Copied to Clipboard!

Her decision to raze Kings landing was brutal and sad but not particularly surprising. It felt rushed though, it's not so much that it happened as the way it happened. Most people I've seen complaining complain about how rushed everything, including that, feel more than anything. Honestly though, yeah there's worse issues. I know my contenders, but I don't doubt that some people would disagree. Matter of opinion all around, and totally fair honestly. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Sure I totally agree. They should have made an entire season for the night king and another for cersei. If that wasn't feasible for some reason then at least just make this season 10 episodes.

I feel that they should have fought Cersei first, have Dany sit on the throne and start going mad with power and anger, and THEN have the fight with the White Walkers as shes going insane. No one trusts her or likes her as the new queen but theyre too scared to do anything about it. Then she dies during the battle along with everyone else, and the land turns to snow. 6 episodes was more than enough to do this. Just change up the order of events --- on your left... ...

Samwell should have fused with Tormund to form Tormund Prime who would have stormed the capital and uppercutted drogon so hard it killed him and Dany both. Then he would have ruled on the iron throne with ghost as his hand
