First off, I don't want to hear anything about "it's happening the way the books are written." In both cases I'm strictly talking about the TV shows.I'm a big Game of Thrones fan, and I'll definitely keep watching when it comes back. But, the most recent episode/season finale unnecessarily stretched the bounds of reality and likely sent the show in a whole new direction.
There was already so much cool stuff happening, one thing it absolutely did not need was an evil army of skeletons climbing out of the ground, and a little girl throwing magical grenades to fend them off:
But the funny part is, I began to lose interest in HBO's True Blood when it literally made exactly the same mistake -- introducing magical grenades:
True Blood already had more going on that it could handle with vampires, werewolves and shapeshifters; then it totally started careening off the rails with the whole fairy/magic subplot.
Now I'm worried that's where Game of Thrones is headed as well...
