I tend to write it on things in which the metaphors grab me for some reason or other, has little to do with the quality of the series. Often shows that are lesser in the quality department get more meta.
Yep, and I totally get that. For me, GOT was 90% about the visual/sonic/acting aspects as the main draw. To me, it was like being those folks who seek out action/adventure flicks, like the Mission Impossible epics or even lesser, mostly for the sake of adrenaline types. If I wanted to do any extended meta on GOT, frankly it would be almost exclusively the last two seasons, as the various arcs came to a conclusion.
*** Heh-- remember the ongoing controversy about Buffy seasons 6 & 7? There were quite a number of fans, I recall, who very seriously thought the show should have ended with Season 5, and Buffy's heroic death. I recall being one of those who thought S6 was daring and inventive, and the deal in S7 with the multiple Slayers a logical extension of the concept.
Ooo... just popped into my head-- have you looked at any of the current BtVS comics, the ones on the "BOOM" label? If so, thoughts?
