**As it had been anticipated, the finale of GOT left most fans angry.**

<div class = "text-justify">From the complaints of flops (such as the Starbuck cup or the bottle of water) to the outrage because of misrepresentation of long-established locations, to the actual developing of characters and poor writing, fans around the world has expressed their indignation for a story that did not end as they expected.</div>

---

**I personally do not understand why they took it so seriously. The damn series had the word *“game”* in it, to begin with.**

Seriously, I am just happy it is over (although there are announcements of prequels and sequels).

<div class = "text-justify">Nothing in the series surprised me, not even the fans’ reactions. <B>I think that this generation needs to pause and reflect about what they are doing with their time and their sense of instant gratification and self-entitlement</B>.</div>

<div class = "text-justify">I was sick and tired of all the headlines (especially in mainstream media outlets) focusing on the most absurd minutia. From the theories and speculations about how the series would end to the frame-by-frame discussions of details and how they spoke badly of the production. I think that most people have been missing the point on both the good and the bad aspects of the series. </div>

---

<div class = "text-justify">I think that the series represents a revolution in books adaptation and TV productions. It was visually astounding and very well written and acted (until the last season, I agree). This must be the first time in book adaptation history that the movies are actually done faster than the publishing of the books on which they were supposed to be based. I cannot imagine the pressure on George R. R. Martin and the script writers or the artistic disagreements derived from it.</div>

That being said, I think that the series leaves behind some well-known lessons we should reflect upon. 
1-	Rulers are not always the ones more deserving or popular.

2-	The evil doers are not always punished, at least not the way we'd want. In this respect, I think that the series wrongly overdoes the assumed justice and balance that rules the world.

3-	Artists cannot and should not please their audiences; otherwise, the artists' visions would stop being theirs.

4-	Audiences cannot expect to be gratified by all personal caprices and should try to see or analyze what the artistic piece is presenting them with.

5-	The most deserving or loved people usually end badly.

6-	People who always do the right thing, even if that means breaking the rules, are destined to live outside the confines of law-driven societies or succumb to its pressing, conflicting, and usually immoral forces. 

7-	The path to hell is paved with good intentions. You can’t force people to accept a view of the world, especially when you are certain it is for their own good. That is the mantra of totalitarianism and fighting those ideologies puts you in a catch-22 dilemma.

8-	And, **as Mathew would say, if your right (or left) throne causes you to sin, burn it until it melts**; better it that your whole body burning in eternal damnation.

<div class = "text-justify">I think the complexity of the world created by Martin, which is in essence a reflection of our political and social world, deserves more than a tantrum for unfulfilled expectations. After all, what is life but an eternal game where players’ expectations are rarely satisfied and winning is not directly related to aptitude or performance, but rather a random combination of usually uncontrollable factors, including our temper, the root of most of our poor decisions.</div>

---

<div class = "text-justify">Social networks deserve to be put to a better use. Maybe those enraged by the poor writing should start writing their own versions of GOT and we may have a variety of views about what was it exactly that went wrong and how was it exactly that the story should have ended. By analyzing the whys of their proposed ending, these revisionists should learn a lot about what it means to create and what is it that constitutes their expectations for their world and the people in it.</div>
