The Bells (805)

[Brother Freyr]

from what I heard HBO was willing to spit out more money & it's the writers themselves who said they'd only need 6 episodes

Unfortunately that's not quite the case, Sky. Benioff and Weiss were the ones who asked for the two final short seasons because they want to move on to other projects. HBO have even said that GoT could go on for ten seasons if they wanted but it's Benioff's and Weiss' choice to end it here.

HBO wanted 10 seasons. Benioff and Weiss said no.

$#%@. I had accepted with equanimity a headlong rush toward the finish line because I believed it was driven by the "business" part of show business -- a financial decision. Somehow I found that easier to accept.

I'm minutes away from watching the finale, so I'll try to put this out of my mind.

Yeah I was the same before I read up on things a bit.

To a certain extent I still don't blame them. As a writer there's nothing worse than working on a project you don't have a passion for anymore. I think they ultimately handled it badly. For whatever reason. Chasing that next paycheck. Just feeling too enthused about their newer ideas. But at the end of the day it's a very rare thing to have a satisfying final season in any tv show. Most shows have mediocre final seasons and mediocre to disappointing series finales. It's just one of those things that seems too common in television. I actually think I can name the number of properly good planned finales on one hand(as opposed to shows that have been cancelled and didn't receive a proper send off) . Possibly ten at most without really starting to struggle.
