If there are any "Game of Thrones" fans who have recorded but not yet watched the finale episode, I strongly advise them to delete it because it is the dullest 80 minutes ever broadcast in the history of television.
I've watched every episode of this epic series and, on the whole, it's been absolutely bloody marvellous: the finale episode, however, is the biggest televisual disappointment it has ever been my misfortune to experience.
Improbable plot developments and woefully inept dialogue-writing made it difficult to keep watching but the sheer dullness of the episode as it plodded on and on and on made it almost impossible to keep watching.
If I hadn't already watched every single minute of it since the first moment of episode one, I would have turned it off in disgust.
In short, the finale episode is a load of boring and very badly-written bollocks.
I really should look at upgrading. I'll get series One from CEX at some point but I might be put off if everyone keeps harping on about it. Today they were debating the death of one of the character and I only remember it was female because I don't want to remember the names or it will spoil it.
