There are numerous fanfic versions of the GoT show that are far better at including forgotten characters, plots, and tying up loose ends. My conclusion is that D and D had seen them all beforehand as things progressed and refused to bow to fans, so they got cornered into making bad choices. This isn’t necessarily valid, just my way of rationalizing away that they were just probably bad writers, period. They started off strong using someone else’s work, they should have finished it doing the same (just a different source).

Yeah I might have to read some of the fanfic endings one of these days, might be a good bit of closure on the story.
