I know your a big protector of the show in here but I thought that made this the worst ending of any show Ive ever watched.

I'm not actually.
I loved the show and I still think the final season was sub-par. What I'm saying is that we shouldnt be canonizing GRRM. They guy was making things up as he went along. He didnt have a plan. There was no plan. So you cant villainize the showrunners for doing the same.
Remember...the showrunners predicted the ending, which is presumably why GRRM went along for the show. The man made a ton of money for little product.
I'm not a 'Champion of the show' I'm just cautioning people against worshipping GRRM. It seems like people love both the books and the show and then when things went off the rails ignored the fact that a lot of it was GRRM's fault but placing blame squarely at the feet of the showrunners and ignoring GRRM's shortfalls.
