Game of Thrones series finale: how satisfied are you with how things ended?

the-iron-throne.jpg.480x0_q71_crop-scale.jpg

This is it. The last episode of Game of Thrones has aired. The last episode of the eight season, The Iron Throne, is the last we will ever see of Game of Thrones. What a ride this has been, right? We are now running a quick poll to ask you whether you were satisfied with the way the series ended.

This post contains no spoilers, but obviously the comments will be full of them, so if you haven't seen it all, do not read any of the comments (duh!)
So, what did you think? Vote!

PS: if you pick the last option in the poll, you may then want to navigate away from the thread. This is for GOT fans only ;)

really? that was not conscious. I thought it was fair (2 positive options / 2 negative options, each with a different weight)
would you have added another option? just curious

Totally strange, but at first I couldn't see the first options of "Yes it was satisfying" (I was on mobile) so it all just looked like sub-neutral or negative options. :huh:
Maybe I'm just blind...

"Eh, it was okay" is hardly a positive option. If anything, it's mixed.

Probably need another poll, just to get reactions/ratings about the overall show. Not just the ending.

Probably just nitpicking, but I probably wouldn't have put "eh" and I think "it was fine" is a bit more positive than OK.

Probably not needed, but there are probably "I want more/shouldn't have ended yet" people out there too.

Edit: That's probably too many probabilities.

I haven't seen the show, but I know how these people feel if they think the ending sucked, I watched through Lost.
I feel sorry for all the time we Lost. That was so empty.
Game of Thrones was way better. I kind of want to know what happens to the dragon and what comes of the north, now that the knight king is dead and everything is defrosting.

It was a fitting ending for a great story.
People just want to complain because it's cool and it will make them think they are smart, the others complains because the first people complained first, otherwise they won't complain at all.
My only problem with season 7 and 8 is it was rushed, other than that it was a good ending but not a happy one.
But I still think the ending where the iron throne get destroyed and for each kingdom to be independent would be the best ending as no one deserves the iron throne imo, and it will mark a new era were every kingdom is free.
And let's face it, there is no TV show with a complex story have a satisfying ending for everyone, that's where video games comes in, they got multiple ending depending on your choices.

Now let's hope The Witcher series will be good and worth the wait, but I don't trust netflex to be honest.

You can tell the entire season was rushed. No problems with results of certain character arcs or endings, buuut could've had more build up to said endings.

People keep on saying that, but they had an extra year to plan things out. It wasn't a rush job, unless they were seriously just dicking around for a whole year, which very well could be a possibility. From what I can tell, it's a combination of:

1) The last two books are STILL not out, so there's no final source material, and context was probably lost with whatever notes Georgey gave them. The fact that things started going downhill with season 7 kinda backs this up, especially since George hasn't really much started the 7th book, yet.
2) Whatever good ideas there were with how to write character parts, and when and how to focus on the characters, somehow got lost in the Night King's blizzard and ended scattered or buried underneath a pile of corpse soldiers.
3) The directors and script-writers probably lost some of the passion they initially had for this series, so they decided they just wanted to get it done and over with. Therefore, lazy writing.

Read the books, and started to watch it after season 6, I should not have done that.... So... Still waiting for the books, but I think GRR will die before that happens....

Everything was horrible in the last season, the "big" fight between the whiteys and the north was a joke, and as much as I like the idea of Arya killing the King, it was just "too easy"....
I still don't get what Bran has to do with everything, yeah he can see stuff, but not do anything, so.... meh?.
Nah, I'm not satisfied at all

It was ok. The show was pushed too much down people's throats.

But Lost lost it after the 3rd season.
