Ive been trying to digest the last two episodes for two weeks before saying anything. In the end, it isn't worth my time to write 4 paragraphs to describe any of it. I had high hopes through the first three episodes this year that they could capture the season 1-4 (and large parts of 5) magic. I was wrong. Absolute disaster. Disgrace. Really just a fucking joke.
I blame GRRM for this more than anyone. I hate myself for even watching the last 40% of this mess of a show. The first 4 seasons were the finest show I have ever seen. The last 2-3 seasons place a distant second to Welcome Back Kotter reruns. FUCK YOUR FACE GRRM!
Bran, as King? GTFO!
I didn't even watch the finale.
If you would have told me more than a year or so ago that I wouldn't have any interest in the end of got I would have called you nuts
My post is proof positive that you should research shit before just spouting off bullshit.
So, since I rarely actually do any work at Orkin, I decided to go figure out WTF happened with the last 3 seasons of this once epic series. I read a TON or articles and quotes and HBO insider commentary and pieced together what I *think* is a pretty accurate picture of what happened.
Is that fat fuck GRRM behind? Of course he is. Probably never would have finished no matter what, but originally GRRM thought he had MUCH more time than Benioff and Weiss (B&W) ended up giving the project. It took 4 seasons of show to tell the first three books (book 3 was seasons 3 and 4 together by itself), and the storylines in the next two books got incredibly complex. GRRM rightly believed that the next two books were at minimum 3 seasons, and possibly 4. Instead it got one season. Season 5, which started strong but felt incredibly rushed for the last half. Why, because it was. That's when the wheels started falling off. They had 3-4 SEASONS of material in those two books and they crammed it down our throats (lulz) in 1 season.
HBO was NOT pushing them to do this. HBO is on record multiple times as willing to pay for as much GoT as D&W could deliver. And why would they care? It's the most popular show in the history of cable epics. Bar none. Cash cow. HBO didn't give a fuck if this took 13 seasons to wrap up. Some of the actors might have, who knows? Just throw money at them and they can fuck off. So anyway GRRM thought he had a few more years to finish book 6, and he hoped that would give him two more years to finish book 7. Pipe dream yes. We were never getting book 7 at that fat fucks pace, but we could have had book 6 and source material for years. Had they done books 4 and 5 over seasons 5, 6 and 7, at a minimum, perhaps he finishes book 6 and we get a season(s) 8 and 9 out of that. Then D&W are only one book short on source material to wrap it up in a single shitty season 10 instead of fucking up the entire back half of it.
Rumor has it GRRM was pissed about what happened season 5, and realized at that point there was no way he could keep up if they are going to put almost 3000 written pages into a single 10 episode season. I think he gave up, because D&W got tired, greedy, or whatever they got. Anyway, D&W seem most at fault for me. They want to go do Star Wars so they just slapdicked the last half of this together and fucked it all away. I hope they get run over by a truck. FUCK THEM IN THEIR FACES!
I can;t believe I wasted an hour of my life to read about this and post on it. I feel better now.
The Throbber suggests tab browsing with one dedicated to porn. Maybe something in a nice webcam session...
Do some research, flip tab to tittays...do some more research, repeat...
Which means, you only do about 6 minutes of research and 54 minutes of tittays but you'll come to the same analysis, I'm quite sure.

So basically for a guy that hasn't watched the show (Me), just watch the first 4 seasons, because seasons 5-8 don't matter.

Season 5 isn't a train wreck. I'd watch that far, then just read the cliffs notes online for seasons 6-8. On balance, they are shit.
Just watch the first episode. Everything you need to know right there. Theres:
Incest Tits Hookers Theon has a big dick Betrayal Pussy A dwarf who likes tita and pussy Winter is coming
My wife won't let me wear my "I Am the God of Tits and Wine" shirt to my kids' school functions
Sounds like u r a cuck
Last night we were at one of the nicer restaurants in town for my wife's birthday. At the end of the dinner the waiter realized it was her birthday, so he got a camera and took a family pic to print out and give to us to take home. As he's getting us to smile, I ask loudly if we can have one pic with White Supremacist hand signs and one without. Kids are embarrassed, "Christ Dad, I can't believe you said that, we can't take you anywhere" yada yada. Wife just smiled and shook her head

This thread makes me feel chincredible about my decision to never watch one episode of this shit.
After Lost broke my heart I couldn't handle another Mariners 2001 season tv show.
Dodged a bullet.
I feel like with lowered expectations it makes for decent TV viewing. The problem is that seasons 1-4 set all our? expectations so high by braking the mold.
