I'm so glad I never watched the last season. "Oh, but what about..." Don't care. I'll read the book eventually. When they ran out of material from the books it became cartoonish.
I kinda wonder if the reaction to the ending killed his motivation to finish it. Id buy that explanation.
My conspiracy theory is the show ended more or less how George R. R. Martin has been planning it, but because it was received so poorly he had to scrap it all and start the last two books over
Honestly, the plot points themselves were fine it's the execution that made it terrible. The pacing was off, character interactions and motivations made no sense, yes. But the broad-brush strokes of the plot could have been done well.
from what I gathered from interviews etc, the ending itself (e.g. where each character went or did) is basically set by george. Just the way show got there was written by the show writers
So yes, the ending is by George, the execution by the show runners
It killed my motivation to read anything further about that world.
