    No, no, @Peter_Dinklage. That wasn't the problem. In fact, if anything there was too much of *exactly* that because it turned from a *sociological* story into a Hollywood-style character-driven psychological story, and badly done, too.

        Totally and absolutely seriously, I think developing the right approach to many of our societal challenges depends on correctly understanding the reason why the last season of Game of Thrones was so terrible. https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/the-real-reason-fans-hate-the-last-season-of-game-of-thrones/ …pic.twitter.com/NT6V1Jt0Aa

        This is precisely how AppleTV+ mismanaged “Foundation.” The book is a purely sociological story about the weight of history carrying individuals along with the tide. The show is about uniquely talented individuals dragging history behind them.

        The ending was so bad I barely recall the sub-plots

        People who understood the characters had few issues w/ the ending. The S8 plot armor was more annoyance than problem but it came from the real issue which was pacing. D & D turned 2-3 seasons of character-driven drama into a season-long action flick so they could be done w/ it 🤦🏻‍♂️

        This exact same problem plagues the adaptation of Foundation for Apple TV+.

        It was horrible. And the 5-10 year pandemic will be over before George Martin publishes the next book.. Winds of winter? I can’t remember-it’s been so long.

        Having learned my lesson with the Wheel of Time series, I've been waiting until he publishes the *last* book before I start reading the *first* one. A Game of Thrones has been the dustiest unread book on my shelf for over twenty years.
