It is your privilege to believe whatever you want, but the show is garbage. Your refusal to accept it doesn't make the show any less terrible.

Redundant to say so isn't it? I know I can believe whatever I want, and by the very same token, your saying that the show is garbage doesn't make the show garbage.

As for the end, two talentless hacks got the (well paid) opportunity to mess with the source material they neither comprehend nor respect, and it amazes me that anyone might think that they're going to give the original story some ending. They're not capable of, and they don't seem interested even. The same result would be to give them, or anyone else who lacks any talent, to finish any story that is actually layered and complex and meaningful. Maybe GRRM won't manage to finish it himself, but D&D most certainly can never finish ASOIAF in any shape or form. It'd be as if you gave them to write the sequel to Macbeth. Maybe they'd be brazen enough to call it Macbeth Part Two, but it'd have nothing to do with the original play.

What they're ending is their stupid show. Nothing less, and certainly nothing more. The only way one can think that they're finishing ASOIAF, is if one doesn't see any significant difference between the novels and the show so far. Now that's another matter completely, because the book series and the show differ in class, depth, logic, characterization, and so on. It's like comparing Goodfellas with Mickey Mouse, really.

I'm convinced that George R.R. Martin will not finish the series, and then, the ending of the show is the only ending of the series we'll get. Once again, D&D know the ending of the story, at least in Martin's abstract sense. They're taking a different route to the resolution. Is the book better? Yes. No one has argued against that. Just because the book is better, it doesn't mean that the show is garbage, unless you're one of insufferable book purists who tallies every deviation the show has taken from the books, in which case Good Day, Ser.

If this garbage of a show can ever be confused with the resolution of ASOIAF, then something's very wrong with this world.

It isn't garbage; it's the product of a story that I believe has become so complex that the author of the series on which it based has no idea how to bridge the current point of his story and his ending. He said that there are just two books left yet, yet there are so many story lines left up in the air, i.e. Dorne plots like Doran's, Arianne's and Quentin's, Greyjoy plots like Theon's, Euron's and Victarion's, Stark Plots like Sansa's, Jon's, Bran's, and Arya's, Lannister Plots like Tyrion's, Jamie's and Cerseis, and there's peripheral plots like Varys, Littlefinger, the Maester's, the Faceless Men, the Golden Company, the Iron Bank, the White Walkers so forth and so on. It's a lot to handle; and while I wish that the show would have showed some care to certain plots--obviously Dorne's--a part of me appreciates that they've simply streamlined the process rather than writing themselves into corners. I don't blame them as much as I blame Martin for taking his sweet ass time. And remember, Martin has told D&D the ending of the story, so I very well in fact think that the ending of Game of Thrones will be similar if not identical to the ending of ASOIAF, if Martin lives long enough to write the ending to the series.

You have got to be kidding, it's trolling right?!

George has no input, zero, just a few clues on where he was planning to get, way back.

The story this season is fantastic?! Well put together?! 

It makes no sense, it's all a bag of dick jokes. That people don't care and say they were entertained is one thing, to say fantastic story is another, completely ridiculous thing, for all the reasons people said and more.

That's subjective isn't it? Considering that D&D have no source material and are working on fumes, I would say that whatever they've put out is quite "fantastic" considering the circumstances. It's pretty clear that George R.R. Martin has a bit of writer's block with A Song of Ice and Fire and it's incredibly complex narrative, making one wonder whether or not he'll finish the series at all. Yeah, there were parts that didn't make sense but after 6 years of watching this series, and 20 years of reading the book, I'm glad that there's some resolution however botched it may be.

Hello, I go by the name, Mother Cocanuts. Reason being is that I don' t know how to spell, "Coconuts." Some facts about me:

 1. I rather laugh than argue, but don't underestimate me.

2. I am a huge anime fan.

3. Despite my going by the title "Mother Cocanuts"I don't conform to cisgender binaries.

4. I... (leave the rest to you.)
