Recently, Kit Harington has revealed that he and the other cast members of Game of Thrones are feeling an increased sense of pressure to make sure that the upcoming season is well worth watching. This is understandable because the upcoming season will be the final season, meaning that it will have an enormous impact on the series as a whole by providing it with either a satisfactory ending or not. As a result, it is no wonder that Harington and the others are feeling an increased sense of pressure, though it should be mentioned that Harington has stated that they are stepping up to the occasion.
Should He Be Nervous About GOT’s Final Season?
As stated, there are excellent reasons for Harington and the other cast members to be concerned about the final season of Game of Thrones, with the consequences for the series as a whole being but one of them. Simply put, the series has suffered ever since it started striking out on its own as its source material became depleted, with the result that it stumbled into a number of blunders that could have been avoided. One memorable example is Dorne, which in the books, was a tragedy centered around a family of well-meaning people whose misunderstandings of one another lead them into disastrous outcomes. In contrast, Dorne on Game of Thrones was hollowed out so that it could be turned into an exotic backdrop for Jaime, which didn’t just result in the loss of the Dornish narrative but also had a detrimental impact on the rest of the storylines. For that matter, while Dorne was one of the most visible blunders, it was far from being alone in this regard, which is something that fans of the books have been complaining about for years and years.
Regardless, this means that there is some reason to be concerned about whether the show-runners of Game of Thrones will be able to come up with a satisfactory chain of events leading to the conclusion. This is particularly important because there is a great deal of investment in the series from a lot of people out there, meaning that there is a great deal of goodwill as well as all of the benefits associated with that goodwill at stake. In main, this is because Game of Thrones has been running since 2011. However, it should also be noted that there are people watching the series who have been waiting for the conclusion for much longer than that, seeing as how the first book in the A Song of Ice and Fire series came out in 1996.
Further Considerations
Regardless, the final results will become clear when the final season comes out. Until then, there is no real point to getting too caught-up about what people can expect from it, though the perhaps unsurprising revelation that Harington and other cast members are giving the production their 100 percent should nonetheless come as welcome news to interested individuals. With that said, if the final season of Game of Thrones proves to be a disappointment, there will still be the A Song of Ice and Fire books.
