Game of Thrones: The 12 Dumbest Things the Show Has Ever Done
We love Game of Thrones here at TVLine… but that doesn’t mean we can’t complain when the show takes a wrong turn. And boy, it has taken a few of those, hasn’t it?
With Sunday’s series finale in the books — quite literally; A Song of Ice and Fire, indeed! — we’re looking back on all eight seasons of HBO’s fantasy epic with a decidedly critical eye. Overall, it’s unquestionably a massively successful achievement, but it did stumble a few times along the way. From plot points that dragged, to twists that ignited controversy, to forgotten coffee cups… even Game of Thrones had its fair share of regrettable blunders.
