I mean it’s just not as good anymore. This scorpions are everywhere now. They barely got the first one built. They hid a whole damn fleet behind a rock. I’m going to finish watching but I can admit it’s just not what it once was.

“The political dialogue is what made this show great”

Later

“Too much politics just to rush the end of the show”

At this point I’m thinking the hound and the mountain are going to skip off into the meadow holding hands saying… “Did we just become best friends“

I liked the first hour. Last 20 minutes was fricking dumb.

That episode wasn’t terrible tv. But for the actual story arch and plot it was pretty fricking bad.

Why wouldn’t Cersei have ordered them to fire the arrows at the incredibly vulnerable dragon sitting idk...200 yards away from them at the most?? Then just send out the Golden company and have them mop up the vastly overrated unsullied?

So she murders Missandei in cold blood, but wont order the execution of the man that killed her father?

And wont take free shots at the queen and her dragon?

You're not defending the current state of the script are you?



Structurally, the ending of 8x01 sets up the story for its climax, the fight against the night king. And in any story, you want tension to increase as you approach the peak. That's how stories work.

8x02?

It completely undermines any sense of worry or urgency generated in 8x01.

You have Tormund arrive and declare that the dead are coming, and the defenders have little time to prepare. This is good, and this is where you double down on the fear and worry. This is where you crank the tension all the way up, with soldiers rushing off to prepare for battle, clanging bells, ravens flying. God knows what else. Above all else, you want your audience to feel fear.

What they do instead is have that long warm and fuzzy fireside chat, Arya gets laid, and other things happen. It's mostly up beat, happy, and it's all very slow paced.

So instead of getting the audience's blood moving, we put them to sleep and tell them, don't worry, be happy.

Jaime will come through - there needs to be an inner struggle before he kills Cersei.

Do you plan on spending about 4 more hours of your time over the next 3 weeks watching a season you proclaim to hate just so you can come in here and tell everyone how much you hate it?



Isn’t that what message boards are for? Do you not get the concept or are you that stupid?


Cersei gotta behead Jon Snow and Jamie frick Sansa before you think the show has turned to shite? Go stick your head in the sand. Or better yet, go watch Endgame on how to not butcher a finale

I saw the preview on HBO now .. You could hear a dragon in the background at the end and they all looked surprised. Who knows.

If nothing else:

I can't see another show being as hotly debated/theorized/hyped etc as GOT is/was over its run

Agreed. Dany is a shite commander. She lost two dragons already. Why not do a flyover U-turn and waste that castle/ships?!

Last week was the worst episode and this was at least better.

Euron might have doubts about the baby
We don’t know Jamie’s motivation for going back to KL
Tyrion and Varys have doubts
Missandei’s death casts doubt on Grey Worm’s judgment
