Game of Thrones. I can forgive the characters they left out of the show (I guess). I can't forgive the stupid death of Ser Barristan Selmy, but I will for this comment. I can even pretend to forgive the rushed ending and anticlimactic fight with the others. What I cannot forgive is what makes the first four nearly perfect seasons pretty much impossible to rewatch: every single symbol, clue, and question (other than Jon Snow's parentage) is pointless, meaningless, and completely unanswered. Like Chekhov's gun was not only unused, but never shown or mentioned again. I don't believe in capital punishment, but I do think D&D deserve the death penalty for that one.
Yes exactly. There were all these clues and questions that were just fucking pointless. All D and D needed to do was trawl fan forums looking for theories and just rip them off. It's not hard and that would have made the show better, and earlier seasons rewatchable.
Instead they filled time with Tyrion moving chairs.
