what's funny is that, from what i recall hearing, the creative forces behind the tv show essentially got bored with the show and crammed a ton of stuff into season 8 and kinda just phoned it in. iirc hbo was willing for one or two more seasons after 8

The producers got like a 100 million deal from Disney to start making shows for them, IIRC.

that's an insane amount of money if it's accurate. wonder why they couldn't just negotiate with hbo to let them free and have someone else do their part.
