It also demonstrated why the books aren’t written yet. It’s very difficult to get to the satisfying ending without invoking fantasy cliches.

Season 6 was excellent to me, I really liked the religious fanatics story line. It was really the last season where we saw the underlying political manipulation of the game of thrones that made the series so exceptional and different from a Dungeon's and Dragons quest adventure that it became in 7 and 8.
