Game of Thrones
I’ve been re-watching the entire series, which originally aired from 2011-2019. I forgot about how good it is.
I remembered it being good. It liked it when I originally watched in the 2010s. But I remember thinking it peaked at the second to last season. The last season was at disappointment - at least that is what I recalled..
I started watching again earlier this summer simply because I forgot some of the storyline. But then I got hooked again. Now, I am approaching the end of the series and I realize how developed the characters are. There are many interactions in the last two seasons that I did not pick up on the first time I watched.
I have also been watching the House of Dragon series, which has got me in a Game of Thrones mindset. The stories are good. I have not read the books, but probably will. It’s unfortunate that GRR Martin hasn’t finished the stories yet, but so it goes. People are mad at him for not doing so, but you know what, it is his prerogative. There are his stories and he can do what he wants with them.
Enjoy Art…or Not. Don’t Stress About It.
I simply don’t get how people can get mad at him. He gave us these stories. They are not yours. That’s the nature of art and creativity, it’s never what you want. In the end, it’s just entertainment. You are free to do whatever you want with it. You can imagine different versions or endings or whatever. Nothing is stopping you.
That’s the beauty of art. It’s an individual experience. What brings someone to tears will bore the hell out of someone else. So be it.
Don’t be possessive of someone else’s art. Just enjoy it while it lasts. Because you never know when it will end or where it will go.
