You're easily pleased that's all. For 2 years of hype, promotion and a previous 7 seasons of generally excellent TV - I expected more.

Dan and Dave wanted to bugger off and do Star Wars - they turned down more episodes AND seasons.

It was rushed - but there was no need for it to be... that much time and effort into an epic tale deserved better thought. Dany’s story arc made sense (even though I didn’t want it to go that way) and it could have been fleshed out a bit more as you’ve said. It’s Jon’s story... intertwined...

I think there is a bigger point here in that actually epic storytelling has generally been finished poorly. Thinking back to LOTR as an example... even in horror (IT and the Stand are 2 examples of this by S King) Unless of course you let the evil people win. That could work.

LOL - how did you work me out so quickly... The writers decided to finish one of the best TV shows ever by showcasing the writing skills of a 15 year old trying to finish their English homework on the bus. I’m happy to live in the sad world that calls it out for the bullshit it is. That said...

A great show yes - but a piss poor ending.

I was invested in the storyline of Jon's parentage. A secret that would have rocked the Seven Kingdoms to it's very foundation.... Ned's sacrifice was cheapened. I was invested in the Night King/White Walker storyline. The fact that petty squabbles were meaningless against a visceral evil...

Fair play to you for somehow being able to extract enough positive points to fill a paragraph.

Just a question, and I’m interested in your thoughts on this... is the lack of synergy because there are other agendas going on in the background - or is that a bad take from reading too much into social media posts and past actions?

Yes I've read them - they are heavy going at times (A Feast for Crows especially). You can see why they didn't introduce all his characters otherwise we'd have about 100 seasons!, but I think it was worth the time investment.

Got up at 430 to watch....

There’s no way Geoffrey Robinson has/had the capability required to be a spy.

The corruption in the EU has to be eliminated for a start (as it does here in the UK)

This will never work until there is that infrastructure change in the EU, and the commitment to a massive change in the way the UK looks after it citizens.

I agree - I think he believes these issues are more important, and also believes his party are the only ones that can rectify them, hence his priority to become PM. I do think Labour are the only ones with the desire to make a step change... the ability and competence? Well that’s a debate for...

You are right about Love Island, but look at its target market... vulnerable and impressionable youngsters who think is a social norm.

For me I don’t think there has been anywhere near enough effort made to try and understand why Leave won. Putting aside the Boris bus, the immigration card for one second - I firmly believe the main catalyst was austerity and the inequality of wealth that it exacerbated. A lot of the...

Still didn't answer the questions though did he.... Just spent the time making himself out to be some kind of victim. I did also notice that he didn't take long to get over it and was back on the BBC in no time...
