Game of Thrones turned out to be much, much less than the sum of its parts - a rushed, unwitting homage to Seinfeldesque nihilism. The ending of a Game of Thrones brought us face to face with questions of narrative intent, and the trend of literary nihilism. Game of Thrones was basically Seinfeld. It was long on sound (kudos to Ramin Djawadi), and it ended with plenty of fury. Game of Thrones was a show that involved a lot of politics.
