Imagine having that same attitude about Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Pokémon 1st generation, etc. Great Things fizzle out quite often. Game of Thrones was and will always be a masterpiece. I actually can't wait for the REAL ending to be published. I never believed GRRMartin would give away the ending to his masterpiece. One Reddit user contemplated what would have happened if Ned hadn't been beheaded, saying, "Ned would have been made Lord Commander instead of Jon.

The closest thing around to GOT is LOTR, extended version of 12 hours is the best watch.
