    How the writers are still employable, let alone not in massive debt, astounds me. They single-handedly got one of the most successful shows, a show that people wouldn’t shut up about and were hanging for each episode every week, and turned it into something to feel a bit embarrassed to admit liking. All the potential DVD/bluray sales - gone. All the merchandising - gone. The potential for spin-off shows - gone. HBO and their partners just watched millions in revenue disappear in one catastrophic season,and somehow D&D got away with it.

    I did laugh when Disney told them their services weren’t needed after all though.

      Not sure what people expected. They were copying a book series that was unfinished. Most of the writing and dialogue were pulled straight from the books. The series got bad when there was nothing left to follow.

      I’m sure they’re still making money hand over first from DVD sales & streaming. Not to mention they actually did launch a spin off show
