[@johnnyyu9882]

Charles Dance's publicist probably went to the director or someone running the show and asked him to cut off the discussion. It's never good for an actor to talk badly about a show/project. Of course the end of GoT was bad, but Charles complaining about it may not give good impression on potential future employers who watch this interview.

[@HotFiya05]

@@johnnyyu9882 I don't think any future employers would take issue with him ragging on the final season of GoT, especially the last episode. It is a universally-accepted cluster fk.

Nobody knows till this day why D&D ruined GoT when it's well known HBO wanted more seasons and was willing to provide everything they need, but if you ask me the answer is simple, they didn't have more books to adapt, no source material no more quality content, because they can't create

[@tessdurberville711]

They both have degrees in Creative Writing. Martin only has a BS in journalism. That is why Benioff and Weiss gave us an ending and Martin cannot finish his books.

[@wantuthriforfayv]

@@tessdurberville711 not a good ending though.

[@olmeerrr951]

We do know why. They wanted to go off and destroy Star Wars instead.

[@demons1790]

@@tessdurberville711What's your point? what they wrote was abysmal and nothing special at all. Degrees don't mean anything in this context, and Martin wanted to keep going with the show which would have been for the better. They likely just got bored and wanted to end the show soon so they can move to other stuff, and didn't want to hand it over to anyone else because of their massive egos.

[@Millionse]

GoT was suffering from hackers who blackmailed them to paying a huge load of money. One episode was leaked ahead of time and HBI suffered huge losses. For season 8, they had to shoot multiple scenes with multiple endings to prevent another leak. Shortly after, before season 8 was launched, I believed they suffered another hack. They stuck with that dumb ending because the hackers didn't get their hands on it. HBO didn't want to admit this or else their share price would plunge. If anything, blame the hackers for ruining it for us.

[@wadesimon3536]

[@DeepScreenAnalysis]

The fact of the matter is, it was a colossal mistake to adapt a book franchise that hasn’t even been finished yet, because there is a point where you know the source material has run out, storylines lose their depth and and characters start doing things that make no sense.

[@xxlCortez]

If we wait for it being finished, we'll never have GoT.

[@hydroking2969]

not even that, read the books and you can see D and D omitted important characters and events that by book 4 and 5 wouldve been important, the ressurection of catleyn stark, killing rob's wife in the red wedding, jeyne pool completely dissapearing. They replaced these important scenes with orignal content, in Rob's wife case they completely rewrote her entire story for no reason, so they couldnt have even adapted season 5 and onward faithfully even if they wanted to cos of how they wrote early seasons, it seems more and more obvious that D and D were mainly focused on having everything lead up to the red wedding and Tyrion's trial, things like having robb's wife die at the red wedding and not resurrecting catelyn stark feel intentionally decided to make the red wedding more tragic.

[@johnjoseph6874]

The thing is it didn’t have to be that way. If David and Dan had any sense of intellect, they could’ve learned from the nuance and depth the characters had and try their best to replicate it for the rest of the show. Especially when they know they will finish the series before George finishes the books. It had a chance to ofc not be as groundbreaking as the first few seasons, but still amazing television. But those nincompoops are only good adapting, not creating.

[@stephaniecurrie2286]

same thing happened with Outlander

[@gen169]

thing is the first books's release date is quite close like only one year apart so they probably thought by the time they finished the books the two books would already. but I so agree though they could've done like 3 to 4 more seasons if they didn't cut off characters in the books

[@Dante19883]

GoT was at his peak when Charles Dance was on screen. Tyrion, Jaime, Cersei, Jefferey, Arya… all of their scenes with Twin were superb. He went out on a high note before the series went down hill.

Tyrion as King would be amazing. He had so much experience and insight, especially from being The Hand of two regents. That said, Bran is without question the more honorable of the two xD

I think he's just being a gentleman, there are those who put everything into the show even with the bad writing in the end.

If the actors could say exactly how they felt about the last season while remaining professional youd hear alot of nasty stuff. It baffles me how Weiss and Bennioff ruined the show with the last season. It was so noticeably awful an rushed and it didnt make much sense and left everyone with a sour taste in our mouths. They also tried to sum up all the characters long journeys within a few mins right at the end like Charles was talking about here.

[@lalida6432]

I just had a rewatch of the last two seasons of GOT, and I realized that I quite liked it. I felt bad for Dany, that she was so unyeilding to Jon at the end and it sealed her off emotionally. It was too bad Varys had to die and not be able to see the ending. But the people at the small council table at the end were good because they were all outsiders who would actually care about the people or at least have the experience of being regular people or outsiders that they would make good decisions.

He wanted Tyrion to sit on the Iron Throne. Who else wanted that? Tyrion sure didn't. Seriously, he obviously thinks the productin of the show was at the highest possible level, and you have to credit the showrunners for that, since they do the hiring and firing. Everybody had an opinion on how it should end. Few of these opinions matched up very well. So no way to make everyone happy about the ending, no matter how it ended. Charles Dance isn't whinging about it. Okay, maybe about dying on the loo.
