When you look at a show like Game of Thrones, one of the most popular shows on television, one of the most popular shows in the history of cable television, the two writers really believe that their ending their last couple of episodes were going to be very popular. In fact, they're the most unpopular ending of a series and basically see... TV history. Definitely cable TV history. And how did that happen? They presumed that people would find it normal, okay, within the range of acceptable conduct, for someone to go kill a bunch of innocent women and children just because they were mad that day.
