I watched the entire series in the last month or so. It’s been a long slog.

I watched the last two episodes last night almost entirely on one click of fast forward because I can’t handle Jon Snow walking around in slow motion with a constipated look on his face any longer than I had to. I’ve disliked him from the start, not because he was the saintly poor bastard, but because he’s such a whiny little bitch about everything. I felt the urge to punch him in the mouth almost every second he was on the screen.

khaleesi/Dannygurl was the most ridiculous and terrible storyline all the way along. Out of her entire story arc, two things made sense: when she burned the temple and walked out of it alive probably looked miraculous to the uneducated horsemen and When she freed the unsullied - I guess they didn’t know how to do anything else. But everything else about her story was a waste... which as the series dragged on, made me realize the series might have been a waste. Don’t get me wrong - I’m glad I watched it. I was moderately entertained on average, and more pleased than not along the way - but I guess if I really disliked both of the main character... what does that tell me about how I spend my entertainment time?

I couldn’t be more glad that I didn’t waste years thinking and talking about it. I got in, got done, and can put it behind me.
