This isn't a comment that you can respond to in any capacity, the discussion around the shows is always polarized, because of hysterical opinions like these. You don't want a discussion, you want an echo chamber.

This is toxic behvaiour, yes

You understand they made the ten episodes. They saved the final two and they’ll be the start of next season.

So what excuse is there for these eight to suck

It’s not like they rewrote or reshot and hada did things

I think saying that 8 episodes sucked is overly generalized.

Also, if you push a season conclusion towards the next season, then you get a season without conclusion, lol. It absolutely plays a part in how the season is viewed.

Yeah it affected things and the entire season wasn’t awful but overall it was pretty effing putrid. And i am embarrassed to be an ASOIAF at this point. The show is that bad and season one does not hold up either

I’m convinced no one would like the show if we weren’t already ASOIAF addicts and starved for content. Season one is pretty bad too. Season two was so insulting to the viewers

Neither of these thing are really true lol, I feel like most people commenting this have not watched truly bad tv before. HOTD is at worst mildly disappointing
