I actually learned HBO offered 10 episodes each the last 2 seasons.
The showrunners wanted to go on to Star Wars and that is why everything was so condensed. They were already checked out.
Such a shame that one of the greatest series of all time went out with a whimper like this.
I don't even have a problem with the story arc - Dany turning Hitler, Jon killing her and the mute, Bran becoming King. What I have a problem with is HOW they got there. Way too abrupt and out of character. Don't like how Cersei and Jaime were killed so anonymously either. Felt so... anti-climactic.
Were these the original show runners or did these guys come on board?
Weird too how HBO gave these guys free reign on how many episodes they wanted to do. You’d think HBO would make them sign a contract beforehand to do a certain amount of episodes per season.
