    OT - Game of Thrones S8

    Some of the best episodes and moments in television history and a rock solid 4 seasons of excellent television before you see a mild decline. Still recommend the show to anyone that has not watched it...its great for a long while and has big moments...it just falls flat at the end. If asked...

    Sick burn, bro. But seriously, if you can't acknowledge that a measurable portion of the show's followers are disappointed with the season, idk what to tell you. You can splice hairs with most, some, whatever...but there is plenty of ancillary data points across numerous platforms that a...

    And that's fine...I'm just using your post as a proxy for poor discourse. You've got 13,000+ posts here...you clearly, genuinely care about a ****ty product and discuss the merits of the current product pretty regularly. I don't understand why you can't understand that for something else. I'm...

    OT - Game of Thrones S8

    One of the main problems with American Television is they want shows to go on for eternity. Its not good enough to have a great, tight story you tell over X number of episodes. American networks want shows to go on forever and ultimately without a plan. Very frustrating to see legitimately...

    The Long Night was incredible television. I could do without anything else from this season. They just wanted to go home.

    He just walked in and stabbed her in the first 15m of the episode. Had a talk with a prisoner...walked directly to where she'd be...walked right past her security...and stabbed her. Cool.

    And then people criticize you when you say that the season was rushed through. There are numerous little things throughout the season that are just lazy and sloppy. We got Starbucks on the table...water bottles in a scene...c'mon now. Thats just sloppy stuff.

    OT - Game of Thrones S8

    Why does discourse always come down to two things: 1) "Well stop watching it!" 2) "its (high) fantasy or Sci-Fi...lol if you are judging realism or writing" The show is one of the most watched shows of all-time on HBO...and it was - at one time - an excellent show. Writing and acting were...

    Dexter was bad. This, too, is really bad.

    Compilations like this are great watches. Anyone really trying to defend the series and the turns its taken should watch this. Peter Dinklage running through the playbook of responses is timeless. https://bgr.com/2019/05/13/game-of-thrones-season-8-cast-reactions-not-great/

    OT - Game of Thrones S8

    I think a lot of what is happening with Dany is now just retcon'ing and trying to make the square peg fit the round hole. Her destroying the scorpions, Iron Fleet, Golden Company, Kings Landing Guard...all perfectly fine. Inch-by-inch destroying Kings Landing and all of its innocent civilians...

    At this point, the consensus is that the writing is poor and the execution of what they are even trying to do, has been rushed and poor as well. If you feel otherwise, you're just in the minority at this point. Thats not to say you are wrong...but, these eyes see it much differently.

    OT - Game of Thrones S8

    Just defies prophecy in the show canon. They set up a lot of the Cersei story from the books on the show and the follow through on those was pretty poor. Even if you diverge, the way they went about it, to me, was some focus group type decision.

    OT - Game of Thrones S8

    We are all trashing on the show...and rightfully so...but I'll die on the hill that the show really nailed the big moments and the big battles set pieces. Battle of the ********. Battle of Winterfell I and II, Battle of the Blackwater, Loot Train, Hardhome...I loved those episodes. And, low...

    Both books will be ridiculously long. Stannis is still the Mannis with two books to go. Think of the ground this man needs to cover.

    Either that or people are going to be burnt out by all of this and not give a fvck about GRRM's version of the story. I'll be first in line, but I can see this fan fiction version of the final two books being canon. My theory is that these books have not been released by GRRM yet because he...

    Episode had good ideas...but man, it feels like Vince McMahon booked this ending. Even the good **** seems haphazardly thrown together on a ****tail napkin 5m before show started.
