Weren't there reports earlier that Martin like, gave a general outline of how he wanted the story to end?

Does anyone actually blame D&D? Hell I dont understand expecting anything from grrm either. Have you read the books? From the moment he had that s***ty catspaw reveal I knew that this dude couldn't wrap storyline. Oh he could certainly set them up, but then again anyone can set up intriguing plots and mysteries, just look at jj Abrams and lost. It's about delivering on those mysteries and he sure as s*** didn't with what he did attempt to resolve, so forget him ending the actual main plot lines.

The last seasons which were very much bad because D&D didn't want to keep doing the show, so they definitely deserve some of the blame. Especially because the main issue with the ending wasn't really what happened at the end, but rather how it ended. If you told someone at like season 4 how the series ended, they'd probably be like "yeah I can see that", but Seasons 7/8 didn't really do a lot of the work that was required to get to that ending point.

But there's also not a chance anyone would have really been able to wrap up some of these things well, and the books have even more random loose ends and **** that would need to be tied up.

I'm of the opinion there just wasn't a good way to wrap up the Night King and Coming Winter stuff.
