Allow me to quote YOU: "It turned into a ******* fantasy show about dragons" "When they ran out of source material the writers / producers changed tack and turned it into a generic fantasy show" Don't blame me. YOU are the one who TWICE complained that it was "turned into" a fantasy show...

This is truly a bizarre analysis. The VERY FIRST scene involved the White Walkers killing people. It was ALWAYS a fantasy show and it was ALWAYS an intelligent story with political intrigue. Both elements are central and crucial. You can complain about the role of the dragons as they grew...

Viserion was killed by a single spear thrown by the Night King. I don't think that anyone anticipated that one single shot would kill a dragon like that, nor that Viserion would be brought back to life. As for Rhaegal, again, there was an element of surprise. Some people can complain about...

This is just silly. What ****ed her off was the concept that, by ringing the bell, suddenly everyone (Cersei in particular) were going to get off easy. And as someone else mentioned, the Red Keep was built by her family and was now protecting the Lannisters. She got upset by the fact that...

In all fairness, that hand was originally holding a Starbucks cup, but after last week, the editors caught it and used digital technology to erase the cup from this scene.

Exactly. HBO would renew the show for 10 more 10-episode seasons if they could. The actors are ready to go. Imagine what the "fans" would be saying right now if Weiss/Benioff had to write Jon Snow out of the show because he took another TV series (such as what happened with Lauren Cohan on...

I don't give a ****e about consensus, there is no shortage of stupid people in the world. And your eyes are about as good as Oberyn Martell's. Stop watching. Nobody will care if you do.

I understand what you are saying. And as I just said in a response to another poster, there is definitely a change going on from what the shows/books were in prior periods until now. There is not as much cunning back-stabbing, and we now come to all-out battles instead of intrigue. I...

I'm not saying that there aren't some issues because Martin didn't finish the books. Even Walking Dead, with the actual creator of the comic book working on the TV show, diverges from the source material. But this Season 8 over-analysis of everything ("poor writing", "focus group type...

Misguided. First, the Arya stuff is showing her transformation from being an assassin to being a person who chooses life. Now, some people may not like that arc, but everything in GoT (separate from the high body count) is showing an attempt to move away from the old ways of doing things. As...

Wake up, genius, I was laughing about all of the people who want the scientific stuff spelled out for them. I only raised the point since I've read the books, know the background, and was legitimately curious about whether George RR Martin had tipped off the writers on that issue (of which he...

Sure, but there was a time when they were in Essos a few seasons ago when the dragons disappeared for a while.

Historians, like Septon Barth, Grand Maester Munkun, and Maester Thomax, disagree on the mating habits of dragons.[26] Dragons lay large, scaled eggs to reproduce.[27] According to Archmaester Gyldayn, and agreed upon by Maester Yandel, the ability of a dragon to lay eggs is proof that said...

Here's a thought for the "I want scientific explanations for everything" crowd. How do we know that the 3 dragons haven't laid eggs somewhere. If we are going to get an "out-of-left-field" plot development, and given that the previews showed someone looking up into the sky (but not showing us...

Analysis from a military strategist (not just a guy who plays video games): https://slate.com/culture/2019/04/battle-winterfell-military-analysis-tactics.html?fbclid=IwAR0YDX0UnsB0x20zGzOrfd5X-6x8lKfWavI0aX23hXMXWhxOliewB5D4UzE

I thought of that, but I was trying not to get too scientific about it. I swear to Christ, trying to converse with some of these "internet experts" is like the African-European swallow/coconuts debate in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

I'm going to skip over the concept of someone becoming a battle expert from playing video games...and I will focus on the false claims related to Jaime Lannister, who is well-known for being an excellent one-on-one swordfighter (before his sword hand was cut off), but is also well-known for...

You have clearly missed the point. He is comparing the one Wight that Jon and the Fellowship of the Wight brought from the North to King's Landing in a wooden box (last season) to the Stark skeletons punching their way out of their own crypts. He is saying that it should have been easy for the...

A couple of quick points. The concept of "ruthless" is, I believe, misplaced. There is a difference between a character choosing to poison/castrate/throw-out-the-moon-window another character and, say, an enormous battle. Besides, this is not the final battle. What if they had killed 20 main...

I'm going to be honest. If you are up-to-date on the TV show, you might want to delay on the books until George RR Martin puts out Book 6 (at least). The "voluminous" part isn't the real problem. The real issue is that the books focus on the viewpoints of different characters for LOOOONG...
