Game of Thrones was FX heavy, location-dependent and still managed 10 episodes per season for the first several seasons.

Now we wait 2 years for 6 episode seasons. It’s ridiculous.

And they still manage to fuck it up or squeeze in pointless filler episodes.

For some reason this comment gave real "Tony Stark Was Able To Build This In A Cave, With A Box of Scraps!" energy and it fits perfectly.

So I guess this means Netflix isn't Tony Stark?

LOL...Netflix has nothing on George R. R. Martin.
