With zombies, dragons, and brutal battle sequences, HBO’s fantasy drama Game of Thrones has managed to seduce quite a few horror fans during its eight-season run. But even though this most recent season (its final) has been exceptional, many long-time viewers have been extremely dissatisfied with it–and Stephen King thinks he knows why.

Here’s what he tweeted out late last week:

I've loved this last season of GoT, including Dani going bugshit all over King's Landing. There's been a lot of negativity about the windup, but I think it's just because people don't want ANY ending. But you know what they say: All good things…

It’s true: No matter who was destined to ascend the iron throne last night (no spoilers here) some camps would have been dissatisfied. But King hits the nail on the heads, basically equating fans’ hatred of Season 8 to separation anxiety. Can it really be over? Yup, it is.

Except for the three Game of Thrones spinoffs currently in pre-production, so…

As for last night’s finale, here’s what King tweeted in the hours before it aired:

Before tonight's episode of GoT, big thanks to George R.R. Martin, David Benioff, and Dan Weiss for creating 8 seasons of enthralling fantasy (and human) drama. Few shows can truly be called groundbreaking. This is one of them. You guys rock!
