I just hope the show runners stick to the overall theme of the story. Its not about the bad guys always winning or masochism. Its about experience, strategy and reality (and titties). The last season, despite being enjoyable, was far too fan servicey for my liking. The only thing remotely GoTy thing about it was seeing Rickons dead body getting pelted with arrows and Tommen committing suicide. I really hope all the protagonists and antagonists face real threats and get realistic resolutions to their arcs. There were far too many logical plot holes this season, this video explains my frustration much better than I can.
