ok that's it, game over.
that was a quieter ending to the show then i woulda thought but i guess it all makes sense and ties up the story. i think looking back on Season 8, the problem wasn't w/ the story. it was the story telling from the HBO writers. we have griped about pacing, character development, etc. but i guess that goes to show how much they relied on the book's author. anyways this was the first fantasy fiction thing that i got into. i enjoyed the human conflict and political drama of the story telling as much (if not more) than the fantasy aspect.
