You think the ending of the show sucked? Imagine how he felt watching that shit.
I would suggest that it was the broad outline of the same ending he planned and shared with DnD just implemented badly. He's probably more pissed that they made his ending so unpopular by completely botching the landing as he now can't use that same ending without risk of rejection. I still maintain it would have sucked as an ending even if it had been implemented at the same standard as series 5, but what we got made it far far worse.
Yeah, he basically spoiled the ending with the tv show and now he needs to come up with a new one. Not that he actually will. He'll never finish the series
I'd be happy if he did the same ending again, just with his characteristically excellent writing
I understand, it would probably make sense narratively, but he would receive a lot of backslash.
The reason he hasn't finished (or isn't even trying any more) is because he's written himself into a corner. There are a lot of loose ends and parts that don't make sense, and that's not even counting the parts that the show left out!
He probably felt dread, because he was probably hoping that they'd fix some of the mistakes he made, and make writing the book simpler.
He probably couldn't see the tv due to the big pile of money sitting between him and the screen covering his view.
