You know what the best part of the last episode was for me — It was the simple, matter of fact, sometimes humorous, Dialogues among the men who were on the quest beyond the wall. Before they met the Bear and things got all action-y.

The humor between the Hound and the Red-haired-guy, talking about Brienne of Tarth. Good dialogue.
The conversation between Jon and whatshisname about the sword — good dialogue.

Etc.

And i consider all that kind of thing ‘character development’. And thats what’s missing because of the decision to make fewer episodes. We miss out on THAT stuff, among other things.

I tried to google the question of just WHY the powers that be, decided to have fewer episodes, but i cant really fine anything that makes much sense. All i found was some paragraphs out there that say the writers basically just wanted to wrap things up. Ah well.

I read somewhere that the actress who plays Daeneryis didn’t want her involvement with the show to extend beyond 8 seasons. Maybe some of the other actors are ready to move on as well. Not that that should have had an impact on the duration of the series. If there’s one show that isn’t afraid to kill off beloved characters, it’s this one.

Well, honestly, I dunno that they can kill off Daenerys or Jon Snow.

Without them, it’s the Lannister Sibling Shit Show with no viable opposition.

If there are 3 people who can’t die before the end of the series, it’s Daenerys, Jon Snow, and Cersei Lannister.

Other than that…everyone’s fair game.

Sports is the crucible of human virtue. The distillate remains are human vice.

That doesn;’t explain, though, why they shortened the last 2 seasons.

They could have wrapped up in season 8 and still had 10 episodes per season.
