They enjoyed watching

People who love fantasy and sience fiction will loe this series!!!

Based on the reactions of my friends and the Interwebs as a whole, I expected this final season to be a total disaster. And I will say that the third episode of the final season was at least 30 minutes longer than it needed to be. At one point during the horribly directed and filmed war for Winterfell against the dead, I seriously wondered if I had been watching the episode for three days or for four, because God knows it felt like forever. I kept thinking, "get to the point, we all know how this is going to end", and it just kept going and going and going and going and going. And while the person responsible for the ending came as a surprise, it made no logical sense whatsoever. Episode 3 was just horrible through and through, and the fact that a couple of secondary characters suffer while all the headliners magically make it through virtually unscathed was irritating to say the least.

But once we got back to the real story, I very much enjoyed it. Prior to watching the final season for the first time, I started with the first series and watched every episode over a period of 10 days. And the ending fit in exactly with everything that led up to it. I won't go into spoiler alerts, but it all ended the way it was always set up to end. In fact, if I have any complaints (beyond that horrible, horrible episode three), it would be that it all fit too neatly into place. It would have been nice to have a few final twists, as the show was built on that, but it is what it is.

All in all, I'm extremely surprised that so many people were upset by the ending. I thought it was easily one of the better ones for a series.

Was a gift for someone. Came nicely packaged with no damage. Still plays fine to this day.

Arrived in good time, now have the complete set. Thanks
