The final season of Game of Thrones has been the most divisive yet, with legions of fans criticizing the show for dropping the ball, but others are noticing another show predicted how it would 'go off the rails.'

After Sunday night's episode, The Bells, many fans have noticed how the final season of the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation actually 'predicted' the show's supposed demise.

There was a scene from the seventh and final season of Parks and Recreation that fans kept bringing up on social media, an exchange between Amy Poehler's Leslie Knoppe and Adam Scott's Ben Wyatt, a longtime Game of Thrones fan.

Off the rails: There was a scene from the seventh and final season of Parks and Recreation that fans kept bringing up on social media, an exchange between Amy Poehler's Leslie Knoppe and Adam Scott's Ben Wyatt, a longtime Game of Thrones fan

The prediction comes in the fourth episode of Parks and Recreation's seventh and final season, where the gang decides to lock Leslie Knoppe (Amy Poehler) and Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman) in the office overnight so they can mend their fences.

After realizing what they have done, Knoppe tries to persuade her husband Ben to let her out because, 'Game of Thrones is on tonight, it's the series finale.'

As Ben ponders, wondering if she's right, she adds, 'Khaleesi is marrying Jack Sparrow! Oh, god, that show has really gone off the rails.'

Of course, Khaleesi, referring to Emilia Clarke's Daenerys Targaryen, is not marrying the Pirates of the Caribbean character Jack Sparrow, but many fans noticed the show does have their own Jack Sparrow, in Pilou Asbaek's Euron Greyjoy.

Even though Euron was trying to marry Queen Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) and not Khaleesi, many fans who have not been pleased with this season have mentioned how prophetic the Parks and Recreation episode was, four years before the final season of Thrones.

Twitter user @KevinMBransford said, 'Remember when parks and rec made a joke about jack sparrow being in game of thrones and then we got euron greyjoy who is basically fratty jack sparrow and this show is just so bad now?'

Another fan, dubbed @rapunzelvangogh, admitted she doesn't even watch Game of Thrones, but she remembered its prediction.

'I dont watch game of thrones but season 7 of parks and rec predicted its downfall and no one listened. we just let them keep making it. leslie knope tried to warn us,' she said.

Another fan, @DreamGreenArt, said, 'Parks and rec knew! I didn't want to believe it then, but I do now. #GameofThrones #GamefThrones #GameofThronesseason8episode4 #why
