^^^lol this is hilarious
Plus D&D want to be done and move on to their next project. I heard they pitched and HBO eventually agreed to a show about how the south won called Confederate:
lol fucking idiots they could have had Dunk & Egg or any other GoT spinoff and kept the money train going, but THIS is what they wanted. Already there is talk of boycotts lol
But that's good though, I'd rather have different writers have a crack at the GoT universe. I think I heard there are four shows coming out in the next couple years or so, two of which the writers will work with GRRM. Some of the writers they have look promising.

Confederate chronicles events leading to the "Third American Civil War". It takes place in an alternate timeline, where the southern states have successfully seceded from the Union, giving rise to a nation in which slavery remains legal and has evolved into a modern institution. The story follows a broad swath of characters on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Demilitarized Zone – freedom fighters, slave hunters, politicians, abolitionists, journalists, the executives of a slave-holding conglomerate, and the families of people in their thrall

One of these actually has an explanation - the chains. There was a dock with chains on it for boats/ships in that frozen lake where the dragon goes down.

But yeah I've been saying that too that they should milk the show longer, at least another season but I think it's money, D&D moving on to their next project (Confederate) and that it was the original deal to have 7 seasons or whatever. I still think GRRM agreeing in 2007 that he would have the next book finished and final book outlined is the biggest problem. I think it could have been handled better but D&D didn't sign up to finish the novels for him, that's kinda fucked up, it's not what they do. They get about a month and a half to two months to write AND adapt it to screen on top of everything else the show demands out of them. It's crazy. Meanwhile GRRM has had a decade now and he's not even done with one book let alone a outline to the final. Not even Brandon Sanderson wants to touch his series should the circumstance arise. But on the other hand, GRRM has never actually finished a series on his career so maybe they should have anticipated better. Still though let's keep perspective here - this isn't Lost or Dexter. Some plotholes and rushing the story this season to come to a grand finale still isn't anywhere near as bad as those shows got and countless others.
Regardless, I love this universe since I've always felt it's the perfect mesh of reality and magic, so I can't wait to see see fresh material with new writers. I think we discussed this in the past but there's so much damn content, obviously Roberts Rebellion is an obvious one besides Dunk & Egg, Aegon’s Conquest if you want more dragon shit, The Blackfyre Rebellions, etc.

That was a dope episode. Littlefinger gurgling blood was satisfying, waited so long for that. Fucking Ice Dragons. Jon Targaryen the true heir. Boat sex. Some of those scenes were great - Cersei and Jamie and Cercei and Tyrion in particular. Theon as well talking to Jon. Good shit.
The one thing that was going to piss me off was Euron Grayjoy, I was thinking he's way too crazy to simply leave. Sneaky move by Cersei and I'm glad they didn't write him off like that.

it could still happen, I'm guessing next season will put it all out there (as far as giving the fans what they want)

Isn't there something like the actors who play Bronn and Cersei can't be near one another in real life so they are never in the same scene on the show?
I thought when Bronn was like "Podrick lets get out of here and let the fancy people talk" it was basically just to get him out of the next scene with Cersei lol.
