Fuck GRRM...D&D suck at writing, but it shouldn't have been their job. They were pretty good at taking way-to-detailed good books and parsing them down to be ~10 hours of a season which was about the first 4 seasons. Seems like GRRM had enough to get through another season or so, and then its pretty much gone to shite.GreenRiverGatorz said:
D&D obviously haven't a fucking clue what to do with Bran. He's pretty much the arbiter of all information and he's done jack shit the entire show. They've ruined any chance at making him meaningful.CuntWaffle said:Worst episode of the season. They whole Jaime/Brienne thing feels like a forced flaming pile of fan service. Love the laziness of killing another dragon to level the playing field... what the fuck was that shit? "Hey uhhhhhhhh we need to level the playing field can't have 2 dragons in the final fight. Lets just zip a couple of giant arrows at one from the ocean while they are flying then completely miss the other one in a dramatic effect by shooting 20 at once." awful.
The dragons were one of the coolest parts of the show that intrigued me. Drogon fucking shit up in season 7 was great and exactly how the dragons should be. Super oppressive because what the flying fuck are you going to do against a dragon? Ever since then such bullshit. First it was the Night Kings hail mary Hawkeye shot and fortunately the white walkers have 500 miles of gigantic chains ready to pull up a 4 billion ton dragon from the bottom of the sea. Next you have the 2 remaining dragons being completely underutilized in the battle of Winterfell because??????? Oh yea we want to make this shit super dramatic like sending the Dathraki on a suicide mission before. Then a metrosexual pirate puts in his Game Genie and activates the 100% accuracy cheat code... but only for 20 seconds because they other dragon needs to live!!1
I don't care at all about this Dany/Jon Aladdin incest storyline. It's so fucking stupid at this point. It's just in their for 16 year old girls at this point.
I knew this episode was going to be a set up for the final battle, but I was hoping to get some of the glaring questions answered from last episode and the ones before that. Specifically more shit about the White Walkers. I was hoping the Bran/Night King WWE staredown there was some sort of communication involved about everything since him and Bran were connected in some unexplainable way for awhile.

It's unfair to DD for having to do more creative than they signed up for, however how hard is it to hire a nerd consultant to flesh out inconsistencies and have a pulse on the soul of the story.HoustonHusky said:

So many brilliant fanatics out there, someone could have guided them better. Just hand them the bullet points from RR and away we go. -
George RR Martin already has a nerd crew doing that...he just has them tasked to work on new HBO spinoffs instead of finishing his story. Heck the 2 guys that write the Expanse series use to have that job.Doogles said:

Blame GRRM...he's the lazy fuck that doesn't want to finish his own story (I don't think he can...he got the world too big and doesn't know how to finish it. The rumor is he had a finished version of the Winds of Winter written and realized it was shite and has spent the last 3+ years trying to rewrite it...now that we are seeing his "original story" play out in Season 7/8 I'd have to agree...).

Dear magic 8ball
Will arya be a badass terminator this week or a whimpering pussy?
*shake shake shake*
Whimpering pussy. -
From a strictly spectacle point of view, seeing a dragon raise an entire major city was terrifying as all fuck and did not disappoint. They've hyped that since the first book in the 90s and holy shit.
Narratively, I need to digest what the fuck just happened. Seems to be a large disconnect between Dany being upset about losing/popularity/advisers and deciding to fucking firebomb King's Landing like it's Tokyo in edit March 1945 I knew that sigh.
