Same. I am actually kind of pissed about how much neckbeardery there was around this online because the last season was legitimately getting good and I was excited to see it through, but all of the “um akshually the dagger was crimson” shit probably killed the show.
Paul Giamatti should win an emmy simply because of how he managed to make what was perhaps the dullest and most poorly written episode of the season into one of the most engaging simply because he was on screen the entire time.
What a perfect opportunity to break out the “bend over and I’ll show you!”
I have read the books several times and mostly enjoyed the adaptation tbh. Literature and film are not the same. Stylistic choices which work in one don’t work in the other.
