Yeah, I think it is ridiculous. I understand wanting to end a show before it gets bad, and HBO is good at that but there is way too much left to explore to set a hard ending. I mean the later books haven't even been written. I wish D&D would just commit to going for as long as the story takes them, rather then setting a hard season limit. HBO is already on record for wanting it to go as long as possible, but not wanting to get in their way
D&D?
