Jason Alexander Shares Heartfelt Advice About Finales With 'Game Of Thrones' Stars
Jason Alexander drew on his own experience as he offered some heartfelt advice to the cast and crew of “Game of Thrones.”
The actor admitted to knowing “a little something about finales and disappointed fans” in a Monday tweet directed at all those involved with HBO’s epic fantasy drama, which aired its final episode the night before.
Alexander played George Costanza in hit NBC sitcom “Seinfeld,” which ran from 1989 until 1998 and split opinion for the way in which it ended.
Critics of “Thrones,” meanwhile, have complained of lazy plot and character development in its eighth and final season. A Change.org petition calling for the shows to be remade “with competent writers” had by early Tuesday garnered more than 1.3 million signatures.
Alexander’s recommendation was to “live in joy that you are part of something that moves people.” “You were all magnificent,” he tweeted. “My family and I loved it all. Thanks.”
Dear #GOT company, I know a little something about finales and disappointed fans. My advice: live in joy that you are part of something that moves people so. You were all magnificent. My family and I loved it all. Thanks.

His positive message struck a chord with people on Twitter, many of whom were moved to praise “Seinfeld” and how it concluded.
Actually after watching the Seinfeld finale a number of times now, it was the perfect way to wrap up the show. But I’m a huge fan so you guys could never do any wrong. #Seinfeld

The Seinfeld Finale was totally fine and I don’t get why it’s considered a bad ending by anyone.

Being a HUGE Seinfeld fan but living in Argentina in the pre-social media era I never new that the Seinfeld finale did get some hate. I thought and still think it was awesome!
