The thing that sucks about the ending of the series is that is was a self inflicted wound. D&D obviously wanted to be done with the show and rushed things, forcing themselves into a 13 episode box against the objections and advice of everyone else. Maybe it still would have been bad with 20 episodes or an extra season or two but odds are they would have taken more time and things would at least be fleshed out a bit more.
In the end it was an amazing show that crashed hard on the landing due to D&D, but still managed to have some great sequences and epic TV spectacle along the way.
I wish I had stopped watching at the end of the 3rd episode this season...would have been a lot more satisfied.
While the story and plot end of LOST was way worse, I found it much more satisfying as an ending for the characters. Whereas with GoT both the story and character endings seemed awful.
