TV was never the same after GoT premiered. The bar was set. I’ll never forget watching my friends’ faces when their faves died/didn’t die. The watch parties! The theorizing! GoT was an experience. I love this show.
Happy #IronAnniversary, GoT. pic.twitter.com/M5FqsykYnR
Apologize for what happened to Daenerys then we’ll talk

You guys killed the series with the last two seasons. I wish I never watched.

Destroyed the whole thing by rushing the last season or so. I would have watched them over and over again if it wasn’t for knowing how poor the pay off for my time would be

Yup. Until the last season I would rewatch the entire series 2-3 times a year. Haven't watched an episode since.
