Bran becoming king at least is absolutely what Martin intended so if A Dream Of Spring ever comes out, I expect some folks will be in for a rude awakening.

^ Not the problem, man: the problem isn\'t that Bran became king or that Dany went mad or whatever. What people are complaining about is the fact that it was done so utterly lazily - to the point that more than half the justification for anything that happend was delivered in the behind-the-scenes features by people who can barely hide the fact that they want to move on to other projects.

A great series that ended poorly (Spoilers!)
Game Of Thrones was a series that truly surpassed the original work it was based on, A Song Of Ice And Fire by George R.R. Martin. We get two external threats that are coming to Westeros while kings and lords bicker about laws and territory: the coming of the White Walkers and the coming of the last(?) surviving Targaryen who's coming back home from exile to take the Iron Throne. The series is also about individual journeys through people's lives as they go about carrying on their portion of the overall plot. However, what started off as good for the first four seasons ended up souring a little in the later seasons, and by the final two seasons things seemed to be a bit too rushed and in a hurry to get to the ending. Thus we got an ending that very few people liked, such as Bran becoming king when he basically did next to nothing throughout the entire series (which, after thinking about it, makes me think this is accidental Christian messaging that God can make us kings with us doing nothing but believing in Him), and of course Daenerys going crazy and deciding to burn King's Landing at the last minute. But at least the story is complete, and we don't have to wait years before GRRM decides to bless the general public with another installment of his epic saga.
