    If you're talking about the plotters vs pantsers twitter thread(?) then yeah. I don't envy what the directors had on their plate as far as trying to placate the actors (who clearly want this wrapped up), bridging the gap themselves as far as the plot because GRRM didn't finish the books, figuring out how to tie up all the loose ends of what GRRM built in terms of a character network, and all the usual work that goes into something this massive.

      Because before, it was already written. They just had to cut and prune and then reassemble.

      Now they had to actually create.
      What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

        They certainly did not have to create much. All they had to do was make up the ending for all the characters. And there were thousands of theories online that they could have datamined so they certainly didn't have to "think" really at all. Just pick one.

          I'm really hoping all the disappointment of most thus far is mute by the results of Sunday's finale.

            I'm thinking I'll be lucky to get one thing out of the finale. And I got the great ending to the Night King by Arya. That's good enough. If I get nothing on Sunday I will be very disappointed.

              I like it. Most of the people I talk to have enjoyed it.

                  The disappointment comes from the expectations which were insane. Closure was never going to give people what they wanted, because what people are mostly disappointed by is the closing off of all the cool possibilities of their favorite characters. It's not so much the road taken as all the ones not taken.

                    Baaah. I had multiple endings for all the characters in mind and they managed to pick none of them. I knew they were all going to end and I never locked myself into any particular ending. Even with that amount of latitude they have managed to disappoint me in many ways.

                      THe writers and production team had an impossible job: Ordering pizza for 12 million people. Everyone wanted a five-topping pizza and now everyone is pzzed because they didn't get exactly the pizza they wanted.

                      Look, the season hasn't been as good as six (I think it was six) but it's still better than anything else on network television and better than all but the best of what cable has to offer.

                        Boy, is that a low bar.

                        The Good Place is the only network show I can think of that asks for an IQ higher than a succulent. Before that the single intelligent network show was Community. Before that... I dunno. The Office?

                                I think it will be forever. The best thing about the proliferation of outlets is it gives breathing room for shows for smart people. When you only had the majors that was a losing proposition -- the market slice is just too small.

                                I hope they keep on going from 200 to 2,000 to 20,000 outlets. Hell, an infinite number. I'll pay for a slate of shows marketed strictly to the big brains that literally could not care less whether a single small brain can follow them. Pure subscription model and asphyxiate media marketing. Drive commerce back to the business of providing for the needs of people, not ramping up their desires to be forever so unhappy they have to buy to fill their empty places.
