Bran played the game of thrones and won. With his ability to see everything from the past, what did he do? Handed Arya the knife to kill the Night King and drove a wedge between Daenerys and Jon. Know your place, Wylis.

I think the broad brushstrokes are the same - Daenarys' goes mad, Jon (who is madly in love with her) has to kill her to stop her her reign of terror, Bran ends up on the throne and Sansa secedes from the Seven Kingdoms with the North (as much as Sansa becoming Queen, Arya getting to do her...

Did you see the part where I conceded that the magic was part of the world Martin created?

You're missing the point. It turned into a ******* fantasy show about dragons (yes I'm aware they're part of Martin's world). It started off as an intelligent story about political intrigue. When they ran out of source material the writers / producers changed tack and turned it into a generic...

Martin will never finish the books - he'll die before then.

I didn't mind the Arya thing - she wants to live. The worst thing they did with Jaime is have him pity **** Brienne. Running back to Cersei wasn't where I thought they were taking the character, but it's not OUT of character. It's just an odd way to end his redemption arc I agree. I always...

She can have the keys to my house any time.

The most expensive extra in TV history? I mean he wouldn't be missed with how they've treated him...

HBO offered them 10 episodes (it's a huge cash cow for them). The idiot producers said they could do it in 6.

The writers for Breaking Bad had a particular story arc for the main character and stuck to it - they knew they could tell that in 5 seasons. As far as I understand it, Jesse Pinkman (and his popularity / how good the actor was) was the only real surprise for them - he wasn't meant to be Robin.

I quit Star Wars after The Last Jedi, so good luck to them.

The first four seasons are sensational. There was a marked drop in quality in season 5. It's been middling to poor for 3 seasons now - progressively getting worse. That said, if they'd have kept the story moving at the same pace as the first four seasons they'd still have about 2-3 more years...

I've read the leaks, so I know how it all ends, but I can't see how Daenerys can win. Those ballistas are war winning weapons. She can't use her last remaining dragon and they can punch clean through a ship from half a mile away. The walls of Kings Landing were literally lined with those...

People want to see how it ends because they've invested so much time into the show. I won't be watching the spin offs and I'm glad there's only two episodes left.

A lot of the blame falls at George's feet, but Weiss and Benioff are absolute hacks who I hope don't find work again.

Took 55 nights apparently. Would have been nice if they'd turned some lights on, mind.

You can't give them all a sweet goodbye scene the episode before, only to have them basically be the last guys standing - all having a couple of "oh ****, this is their death scene!" moments last night. There's just no consequences to their actions - far too many times they were in absurd...

Yes and no. When the show was using the books for source material, honestly the show was better. The books were still great (although the last two meander a little bit - could have used an editor), but seeing it on screen - DB Weiss and David Benioff did fantastic job of editing / translating...

That'd be ****, tbh. So you're probably right.

On the contrary, Sansa is the one playing checkers there. You can THINK about what happens to the North - but like Jon with his "Oh btw I'm the rightful heir to the Seven Kingdoms" revelation - that wasn't the time to air it.
