re: Game of Thrones officially jumped the shark one year ago today...

S7 where the last 2 eps were awesome beyond belief

Battle of the bastards and winds of winter where Cersei blew up the cept rt

Also I believe beyond the wall with all the random soldiers of the series reunited to capture one of the dead

S7 was dope some of s8 was too

I still don't hate everything about the last season like most people. I thought the acting was great, the music was phenomenal, and it looked pretty. I didn't even hate where everyone ended up so much, but how the characters got there (RUSHED).

I agree with you on all of this. There were truly incredible moments throughout, just didn’t make sense in the greater context because a show that was made on slowly building the story decided to rush the ending. I could have been on board with most characters endings IF the arcs would have built to it better.

Much of it was just nonredeemable - the White Walkers being dispatched so quickly, Jamie’s ending with Cersei, Bran the fricking Broken - all terrible decisions.

I’m all for reading the last books if GRRM ever finishes and has the balls to make major changes. Otherwise, ain’t happening.

The only good part of the final season was the final battle between the Hound and The Mountain.

Arya whiping out the Frays was cool af plenty other stuff tok

That fight was bs nothing the hound did would effect the mountain had to sacrifice himself

Woulda much preferred the mountain head flying in the air his skin wasnt bullet proof shite was rotting

S7’s last two episodes were fricking terrible. I argue that’s when it jumped the shark. Jon going north of the Wall to find a wight to convince Cersei? Tyrion going into the Red Keep and wasn’t killed by Cersei? Sorry, these are the two dumbest and most unbelievable story devices taken up to that point in the show.

Post above got mixed up

Also after hearing Euron story in the winds of winter the forsaken I think where he gives his imprisoned brother night shade

Maybe one of the best chapters George has written. Just a big Lovecraftian homage and sets up Euron as the biggest villain in the series so far, not a small achievement with the Boltons, Freys, and Joffrey all in contention.

Instead we got that clown who wouldn’t shut up about trying to fook the Queen.

Sitting on a throne built on top all the dead gods of that world except the Old Gods of the North. Throw in the Dragonhorn that his brother is about to blow and it’s just a ticking time bomb.

God damn the fat man needs to release that book already.

It ruined both the story arcs. What should have happened is Jaime makes her a knight, Brienne saves Jaime during the battle and dies. Jaime survives, gives her a Knight’s funeral or some symbolic gesture and goes down to King’s Landing and somehow manages to kill Cersei. Not hold her in his fricking arms and have both of them killed by falling bricks

---

all of this
“A knight of the seven kingdoms” was an island of competent storytelling in a sea of shite that was the last season. It was a perfect end to brienne’s story and the redemption that Jaime deserved.

then they immediately ruined it
