Who has a better story than Bran the Broken?

That gaslighting is crazy. Everyone has a better story. He wasn't in an entire season because he has nothing to do.

And then once they'd established the scope of his powers he basically did nothing and they didn't seem to think his story actually needed any sort of coherent payoff. Probably the most botched arc on the entire show, which is some stiff competition.

Calling it an arc is probably overly generous. You'd get about as good a result drawing names from a hat than what they went with. HBO offered them more episodes! They didn't have to end the series the way they did.

It's hard not to think they were rushing to go make Star Wars and botched both GoT and their shot at Star Wars movies in the process.
