If you want to be mad at someone, and it's cool if you do, be mad at GRRM for basically leaving the whole production hanging.


I agree.

People expecting TV execs to finish someone else’s fantasy story set in their fantasy world are asking too much.

I’d think when they started GOT it was with the expectation he would finish the story while they were in production on the first few seasons.

Yes. I'm actively engaging in conversation about the episode because I so desperately want people to stop talking about it

The majority of fans liked the episode, the internet just loves to blow shite way out of proportion.


I think the fandom is pretty divided. Not too many people are saying it's great or one of the best episodes ever. Not too many people thought it was terrible. Most think it was ok to good.

Over on Watchers on the Wall they collect the written round ups from all the big entertainment mags, blogs and newspapers. That was also pretty split. I haven't seen all of the recap videos yet but the ones I've seen all have at least some misgivings. I haven't seen any saying it was terrific and none saying it was terrible.

Personally, I thought it was just good. I don't have a problem with Arya killing the NK. That was one of my favorite theories from when Bran first gave her the VS dagger. But I found the episode fell far short of episodes like Hardhome or Battle of the Bastards. I think they just tried to go too big for the sake of going big and bit off more than they could chew.

The only friends I have that didn't like it are the same ones that think they're smarter than everyone else because they ready all the books multiple times and don't feel like this is how it should go. ETA: The same people have bitched about basically everything since the show passed up the books.


Makes sense that the people who care for the story actually care for the story and the casuals would be fine with poop on a platter.

You've been melting long enough. Let's enjoy the ending we get instead of endlessly bitching about it


It's the fricking movie/TV board. This board is literally made for bitching about movies.


You either love it and talk about how good it is, or you dont like it and state criticisms.

Theres a lot of folks that dont seem to understand that right now and enter every thread criticizing a show/movie by telling them "stop whining/complaining/bitching".

It makes no sense. Just dont post if that's your only response.


GoT will be discussed for better or worse. That doesnt mean its "bitching".
