Game of Thrones season 8 mega thread

You can't just return to form after going off the rails. Drogon laid waste to the entire city with ease, yet him and his brother were complete pussies against the dead army. Should have taken out the iron fleet two episodes ago if it's that easy, oh that's right they were snipers then, now they are Storm troopers.GreenRiverGatorz said:I must be in the minority, but after the complete shit show the last three seasons have been, last night was a return to form.
Yes Dany's descent into madness was rushed, but it still made sense narratively that this is the end result of all of her betrayals, losses, and insecurity of being second fiddle to Jon. I loved that Arya was finally mortal in this episode and that we got to see the absolute horror of what being a small folk entails when a city is conquered and sacked. The battle scene itself did a great job at being true to Drogon's power, and the arc of viewers at first being excited to see Dany dominate the battle only to have that change to horror once we see her turn into genocide mode was really well done. Cersei and Jaime didn't do much for me, but Jaime's ending at least made sense. Sleeping with Brienne made him realize that he only truly loves one woman, and despite all of the growth he's seen through the story, in the end his love for her was too strong and he was going to leave this world with her, just as he came in.
After watching all the major players meticulously plot each step like a creeping ninja assassin, they've gone full drunken retard crashing down the hall. -
And that's why the preceding episodes were so terrible. Especially as they related to using the dragons and some ridiculous warfare tactics. Nothing leading up to this episode made sense, but this episode, in a vacuum, did.Doogles said:

Why not just go harrenhall style on the damn red keep

After watching last night’s episode I hope Derek thinks twice before letting @Khaleesi administer HH again.

Jorah died for this lol

That makes a ton of sense, but leaves me with one question: why did they have shorter final seasons knowing that plot arcs would get rushed?jhfstyle24 said:Awesome thread here

I'm somewhat happy that Gladdy is as bummed as I am.

Interesting mashup that really shows the divide between D&D and the cast. Can't blame them for investing so much time and care into their characters only to have them reach ridiculous conclusions.

So basically D&D hit the wrap it up box for all of season 7&8 because they got a shit load of money to go start the new star wars series.
In other words, Disney is now ruining beloved franchises they don't even own. -

Euron was just cartoonishly evil

Oh because he's evil. Duh. -
Fuck this show. They wrote and directed the last 2.5 seasons like their bags were packed and one foot was out the door.
I wish they would have just cancelled once they caught up with the books. It wouldn't have been satisfying, as I still loved it up to that point and wanted more, but what we got instead was ridiculous and unworthy of everything that went into the first few seasons. -
With the books mostly finished by this point, I can safely declare the season four finale the true series finale. Think about it:chuck said:Fuck this show. They wrote and directed the last 2.5 seasons like their bags were packed and one foot was out the door.

• Stannis saved the seven kingdoms from the wildlings. They haven't completely ruined his amazing book character by making him a villain for no reason at this point.
• Arya and Tyrion set sail to start new lives across the sea.
• Brienne would continue to search for the Stark girls across the 7 kingdoms.
• Bronn got his nice big castle.
• Jon helped save the wall and might serve as the new commander of the Nights Watch.
• Jaime is back in Kings Landing and is content to serve as kingsguard to Tommen.
• Cersei is still Cersei, plotting against her enemies.
• Sansa started a new life in the vale, safe from the Lannisters.
• Danaerys settled down in Mereen or Yunkai or whatever looking to marry Dario after ending the slave trade.
• Dorne? What's that?
• Euron Greyjoy and the Iron Islands? Nope

I love reading about how you nerds hate a TV show.
Chill out, watch, be entertained.
This isn't fucking high-level art, never was. It's fucking sci-fi or fantasy, or some combination of both. -
Yeah, why give a shit about art being good when it can just be pablum. Be happy with your gruel kiddos.BennyBeaver said:I love reading about how you nerds hate a TV show.

It’s not like the books are that fucking great either. They are entertaining, like the tv series.
Boobs and blood. -
