I like how an entire religion got distilled down to one broad with a necklace, and once she was gone, it was gone, like there weren't at least one more red priestess in the world...

... unless I'm wrong, and the other one that showed up in the series multirez'd offscreen at the expense of herself to bring them all back.

If im back imma tag everything thats a spoiler and yall can go back to crying about it. Same as usual.

It seems situational. Like this? This show is done. And people don't care so much because of the rushed writing atrocity. Meanwhile, if we got something like a season 3 of Luke Cage (yes, I just made myself sad saying that), I'd prob'ly tag the hell out of every response I made just in case anyone accidentally stumbled in the thread.

As.it pertains to the throne i dont overly care that they went the way they did but my issue is it was comoletely unearned and feels like rhe choice was based soley off of trying do what people least expected.


Which made it cpmpletely unfulfilling

Theres spoiler in the thread title. Its free game tbf. But my personal rules for how i conduct myself IRL is if its still in theatres its off limits. 30 days after a season finale hits streaming for shows. After that its on you.

People consume things at their own pace these days. The gift that streaming has given us is its freed us from the tv guides demands on our time. We need to adjust as a community to what modern media consumption looks like.

Its not much to have a little courtesy.

I was walking out of avengers and everyone around me was talking about the movie but there were people in line we were walking by in horror as a sea of people gave away all the best bits.

Thinking of others takes 2 seconds but unfortunately it requires you to spend 2 seconds thinking about others.

That sounds like shit, but you have to sit and think about how that makes sense. Goes to what Tyrion said: "If you're set free, we start a war. If you're executed, we start a war." The action would determine which side initiates the war. A third war. In a row. That nobody really wants, but would have to fight anyway. Grey Worm is a loyal solider, but he isn't exactly stupid.

Again, rushed pacing, but it was actually one of the smarter things done. Jon was exiled again- back to where he started, except not voluntarily this time.

Grey Worms character wouldnt have cared. He'd had started a war over someone doing a play about killing Danny

Looked at what they did because they executed Missandei

No way the reaction to killing Danny would be LESS

Or maybe they were fresh out of children to burn alive

Yeah, swerve for the sake of swerving. Two of the three people who "don't want it" are in charge. And the third is still kinda king anyway.

With the "Star Wars" thing, though, it seemed kinda ironic that Dany's speech seemed a lot like the First Order scene in Force Awakened, even down to the giant House Targaryen banner behind her. Granted, a dragon would have been slower than a neo-death star, but same diff.

If written consistently Grey Worm should have marched on Winterfell and face fucked Sansa to death with a bag of lopped off Unsullied baby dicks

I don't entirely disagree that's where he started, but I don't think that's where he ended up. There is half handled time jumping here, and shit left out, and way too many inferences that need to be drawn. Maybe you're right, but I don't think so. He was loyal to his queen, but now he doesn't have a queen. The rest of the Unsullied are pretty much looking to him. To me, it seems that as reactionary as he wants to be, he has to weigh the cost now in a way he didn't before.

Yet another problem of rushed pacing. There is like 2 seasons worth of shit going down in the last 3 episodes. There shouldn't be so much "room for interpretation" because of shit writing.

Also, why did a Jon and the group go through the gate in the wall? Why didn't they go through the part the white walkers destroyed? Did they rebuild that monstrosity in a fucking week?

You know nothing. Wildlings are excellent stone masons.

Thanks for all the wanks, GoT :y:

The wall came down at Eastwatch not Castle Black.

I thought everyone had teleporting powers since season 7.

So there's no point in a night's watch if anyone can just go through a hole in the wall somewhere else.

#sogotend

Well it's a fucking long wall but indeed, not as useful once there's a great rent in it.

Also they're no Others anymore and no Wildings left that aren't with John and Tormund

The Giants are all dead too

And the rumored ice spiders

Pretty sure you don't have to spoil tag Hold the Door

I prefer pics in spoilers, saves space.

His name is Reek

The Nights Watch is like the annoying kid you give an unplugged controller to just to get them to shut up and let them think they're playing or doing something.

Can't wait for the spin off show where they tease giant ice spiders for 6 seasons, then have them in one throwaway episode in the middle of a season.

Besides, once again, there are time lapses they clearly aren't addressing. With the constantly referenced shit pacing, the story appears to happen in the span of like two days. The only hint of time passing is Jon's beard going from well groomed to bushier and unkempt. It was a better signifyer when Tyrion was in jail/smuggled to Essos, as he went from clean shaven to hermit in however long all that journey from Joffrey's death to meeting Danerys took. Since he now looks like that all the time, there's no way to tell how long they kept him. Two days? Two months?

All that to say this: wall contruction could have been underway. You don't just go stomping through the busy zone like an asshole when you can just use a door. Also, assuming how they framed the final shots, all of this is happening in parallel. The Wildfolk might have actually helped rebuild in exchange for help getting resettled in their lands. Who knows? They could have been there for months before heading out, but the show made it look like he made it from prison to the wilds in like an hour.

As for where the wall came down, it's safe to assume the writers forgot that part, so we can assume the hole moved to Castle Black.

Also funny is all the recent focus on Grey Worm's... uh, worm. Guess the Red Woman brought "this one" back for a reason, too. That reason being to at least get some head from Missandei before she lost hers.

Finished season 8, yesterday.

Episode 3 was the best of the bunch; it left me physically exhausted once it was finished. But it does not make up for what has already been said in the thread: rushed character development, specifically Daenerys' change to become the mad queen; odd pacing, etc.

I think ultimately GoT falls under the same category as the "reimagined" Battlestar Galactica series: great journey; shitty ending.

Latest George R.R. Martin news:

"Martin has teamed with the entertainment company Meow Wolf to develop new psychedelic theme park attractions. In his role as Chief World Builder, Martin will craft the story and world behind the theme parks."


He's never gonna finish these books now

I like how the build up for his new books is just like the build up the TV show had for the White Walkers.

He’s probably got the books written. Or at least he did until he saw the reaction to the TV show, now he just needs to do a quick rewrite. Played it very well.

You think the reason he has taken decades to get this far and still not finish is that somehow he's just waiting atop a pile of finished manuscripts that just need a "quick rewrite"?

Yes.

D&D have taken all the vitriol for the shit ending, GRRM writes a totally different ending, gets called a genius.

He seems like a guy who sits surrounded by great tomes of handwritten mythology who has no idea how to edit it into a suitable state for sequel publication.

I doubt he is anywhere near his desired conclusion. The show ending may give him more time but I think he's the biggest GOT fan around and he has a weird, massive imagination and a real problem with procrastinating from specific tasks...like finishing Winds of Winter.

The Tale of Scroty McBoogerballs.

How would people feel if he just had JK Rowling finish it?

Wonder which characters were secretly GAY

Hodor.

Has anyone made the Clegane brothers/Undertaker &a Kane comparison yet? I feel like I just realised this but may have actually heard it before or that it's common knowledge.
