HNIZDO: "It's true, but there are White Walkers and dragons, and once they come together, the story has to go where it goes."
"There's probably a world where we could have milked this thing for another eight seasons, and that would have been very lucrative for all of us.
"But [showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss] really wanted to go out on a good high point, and I think we're doing our best to service all those relationships and character combinations. Characters are coming together for a reason, and that's because shit's going down and so the shit has to go down."
