    Recently I was wondering if I could apply that reasoning to Game of Thrones. I haven’t watched it since that trainwreck of an ending.

      I have friends who utterly refuse to acknowledge the last episode of Farscape. If it never happens for them, they can assume the adventures go on indefinitely.

      One of the few endings that was so utterly awful it retroactively tainted my perception of the first solid 4-5 seasons.

      Probably also the reason the book series will never get finished now :>

          Lost was good for a season and a half or so. If they would have kept the story moving instead of filling in fluff just for episodes and longevity, it could have had the same impact.

        I like it. The whole thing is a tragedy about bickering over petty human power-struggles while eventually being overtaken by the problem you should have been working together against. Bring Peter Dinklage back in to narrate something to that effect over the scenes of the whitewalkers rampaging. Series sort of salvaged.

      There’s a fan edit called Game of Thrones Redeemed. Apparently it fixes that trainwreck into something reasonably satisfying, although I’ve not seen it yet.
