Game of Thrones season 8 mega thread

GRRM should be at the core of the criticism though imo.
Have a look at the show runners now compared to Season 1. They legitimately look like a two-term President on their last day (greyed, haggard, worn etc.). This is all they've been doing since approximately 2009, and I can imagine the stress of it all only multiplied after Season 4's production when it became apparent they were a year away from having to start making entirely original content within a very strict timeframe because Book 6 didn't exist yet.
There's a severe, and underestimated by a lot of people, difference between adapting a novel and writing one yourself. Adaptation is what they signed on for, not creation. -
GRRM quit once he got rich and famous. Guy is 100% croaking before the books get done. Pisses me off he said no one else can finish them if he dies like what Robert Jordan/Wheel of Time series did.Gladstone said:GRRM should be at the core of the criticism though imo.

And I agree the TV show has suffered by his complete inability to hit his publishing deadlines. -
If you think Jon and Dany are having a happily ever after incest kingdom you haven't been reading between the lines. I know, hurtful.Swaye said:
I pretty much said this in the other thread DJ started. It has fallen off greatly the last season and a half. Still hopeful for this season. They really need to do something most aren't expecting, like the Night King wins, or Cersei wins in the end. I mean I hate the bitch, but I really don't want a Jon and Dany have a cousin marriage and live happily ever after as co-rulers of the realm with Tyrion as the Hand and they make little retarded inbred babies while Sansa pouts in the north.Doogles said:
Once the show passed the source material it all went to shit.haie said:El Oh El at how lazy the story and dialogue has become.
I'd settle for a Dany and Jon have it out after he accepts his true lineage and he kills her after a good fuck. I'd also settle for Cersei wins after the northern armies are trashed beating the Night King, but then Tyrion slits her throat and claims the throne. In fact, if the Night King can't win, the alcoholic dwarf whore addict killing his own evil sister to finally rule the world is probably my top choice.
WAIT A MINUTE! How about Dany and Jon are killed fighting the NK, and Cersei comes up north to finish them off but Lyanna Mormont rises up and fucks everything up and siezes the throne. I love that little bitch. -
I found the spoilers online somewhere but mutant Joffrey comes back and kills everything, including the white walkers. Sorry for spoilers.

GRRM is a fat loser piece of shit. No way he finishes these books. He doesn't even care anymore. He just goes to Comic Cons and then goes home and rolls around in buckets of KFC and money. Rich Fat Fucker.
He could have been remembered like Tolkien. Instead he will be remembered as the guy who almost wrote the best fantasy world ever but got fat and lazy instead. -
I'm pretty sure he started out fat and lazy but still.Swaye said:GRRM is a fat loser piece of shit. No way he finishes these books. He doesn't even care anymore. He just goes to Comic Cons and then goes home and rolls around in buckets of KFC and money. Rich Fat Fucker.

Even if he finishes the books, he doesn’t belong in the same conversation as TolkienSwaye said:GRRM is a fat loser piece of shit. No way he finishes these books. He doesn't even care anymore.

Could have gone without that Arya sex scene. Jesus fuck...

Yup. My friend said, “Jesus Christ! I can’t watch this, she looks like she’s twelve.”CuntWaffle said:Could have gone without that Arya sex scene. Jesus fuck...
To which I replied, “try to keep your focus on Gendry!”
Mmmmmm...Gendry.
Rawwwrrrrrrr. -
So many great character moments. Jaime knighting Brienne was way more emotional and satisfying than I would have imagined. Actually any scene with Jaime was gold. Jon should have waited until after the battle to tell Dany (if one of them dies, who cares about the heir?). I also loved Pod’s song.
I get a really Helm’s Deep vibe at Winterfell. In darkness. Aura of absolute despair. Arming children. Massively, horrifyingly outnumbered against an enemy that never parley and wants you extinct. Very good episode.
So it begins. -
The big gut punch of the episode for me was when Davos was working the soup kitchen and the little girl asked him where she should go (hide in the crypts or fight). He gently replies, “where do you want to go?” Even in a fictional universe, the thought of kids having to fight in a war breaks my heart.Gladstone said:So many great character moments.

I’m pretty confident Greyworm and Jorah are not long for this world. -

I'm hearing Gladdy doesn't want to bone missandei
Sad!! -
The episode felt like a giant goodbye to lots of characters. Which do you think will die? Here are my random guesses.
Theon: 95% chance of dying. Perfect conclusion to die defending the people and Castle he betrayed.
Jorah: 80%. Hope he does Sam’s sword proud before he falls.
Pod: 66%. Him or Brienne.
Sansa: 10%. Unfinished political stuff.
Danaerys: 40%. Would be a shock in a show famous for them.
Tyrion: 55%. He’s not staying in the Crypts. Heroic death?
Tormund: 60%. Hope not.
Davos: 70% At last he proves himself a fighter but dies?
Brienne of Tarth: 33%. Her or Pod. Hope not because I want her with Jaime badly lol.
Sam: 70%, maybe defending Gilly?
Jon: 40%. See Danaerys.
Jaime: 70%. Full redemption.
The Hound: 85% Wouldn’t surprise.
Arya: 50% Someone big will die for sure.
Gilly: 15% Fate interchangeable with little Sam
Little Sam: 15%
Beric Dondarrion: 95%. Goes out gloriously with his flaming sword.
Gendry: 50%. Either him and Arya both love or die.
Lord Royce (older guy who commands Knights of the Vale and bodyguards Sansa): 80%, hero of Battle of Bastards likely dies.
Lady Mormont: 0%. https://i.imgur.com/eBCE5RX.gif?noredirect
Greyworm: 60% I guess?
Missandei: 30%.

The crypts aren't safe, they said it so much I made a drinking game out of it. The dead are definitely rising at Winterfell and that little girl is actually going to attempt to defend people.

What if you can't raise the Starks like you would other humans? Remember Benjen Stark? What if the walkers they raise are actually pro-Winterfell?UW_Doog_Bot said:

Can't. Wait. -
There's no way Dani doesn't friendly fire Jon on purpose after they somehow beat the white walkers.
Honorable to a fault, should have kept the secret until after the battle. He never learns giving away unnecessary information is a recipe for death in this world. -
Tormunds ridiculous story leads me to believe he can't ever die
-
That was such an amazing character driven episode, felt like a hallmark back to the early seasons.
Absolutely love that I have no idea who will live and who will die after that, makes the anticipation for next week that much higher -
I thought it was funny that people actually thought there would be a more hostile confrontation between Bran and Jaime. People realize that Bran is like a completely different entity now than the kid who was pushed out the window.
Side note I think it’s cool how Jaime started the series with the trademark gold Lannister hair and now he is a disheveled dirty blonde fighting for Winterfell. Jaime has had some of the best development out of any character in the show. -
Much better choice of directors this season. I don't think people appreciate the extent to which the better episodes correspond to a handful of directors, particularly Miguel Sapochnik (Hardhome, BotB, TWoW). His first episode this season is next week's, battle should be lights out.NEsnake12 said:That was such an amazing character driven episode, felt like a hallmark back to the early seasons.
