The ending of the second season finale has some fans in a fire-breathing uproar: “Great episode, but it had no business being a ‘HOTD’ finale.”
I don’t know why show runners think cliffhangers are a good thing still.
It’s not back in the day cable where a show was off for 6 months. It’s a month or two of a show, then a year or two till it starts again.
Give fans a satisfying ending every season. And they’ll want to come back. Expect them to still care in 22 months, and you’ll rarely be right.
idunno, it didn’t really even feel like a cliffhanger to me.
Plus a lot of shows get canceled so for some of us we Don’t watch a series unless it’s complete. Fucking studios thinking it still network cable with the ratings. Why I refuse to watch a single show on Netflix unless done. Why get involved and enjoy a show that ends on a cliff hanger and gets Fucking canceled. Same for HBO fuck them won’t do it. Now Amazon been pretty good keeping shows going and finishing them so I do watch them when they air.
Only show new show I picked up recently since the multi year hiatus trend was Shogun and it was due to it being initially announced as a miniseries.
I did not even realize that was the finale until just now.
It was like they tried to make it climactic at the end, but achieved the exact opposite, rather making it fairly underwhelming.
Literal what I said as the credits rolled. I thought we’d get one more dragon fight.
I guess I was expecting the same format as game of thrones where they would have a longer, epic episode as the penultimate for the season and do some falling action/fallout from the previous episode for the season finale. As I finished watching it I thought, “wow that was a great climax for the season, I look forward to the season finale next week”
People waited 2 years for this slow season that repetively dragged out the plot due to budget, and now viewers get to wait another 2 years hoping the next season doesn’t feel like filler.
