Did it deserve better? Probably.
Was it the worst thing I've ever watched? Absolutely not.

Most movies or shows don't come close to the novels and I think this was a formidable attempt. Martin theoretically told them how the story was going to progress and offered the key points. I imagine the key points involved you-know-who's you-know-what's, doing the you-know-what to that place. I think the novels would/will take us to that point alot more gradual.

The big question is why they decided to end it so quickly. Was it the actors? surely HBO are making a killing, and could more easily justify more seasons of GoT than Walking Dead (Yes, its stillllllllllllllllllll going).

There's so many "but why?" or "why not", but this has genuinely been one of the best shows for some time. There was never a perfect ending.
It was the writers being offered a star wars gig and not wanting to lose it. HBO offered them 10 seasons
