OFFICIAL Game of Holmes Season 8 Thread - A Dream of Flat Tops 4/14/19

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

Feminists are pissed that people are saying Dany would have been cool if she kept getting piped. It's facts though.

And Jon should have stepped up and hit it one more time for Westeros. And miss me with the Aunt angle. The first piece of muff Jon dived into was some stank wildling ass that hasn't seen a proper wash in years. Bruh was fukking under fresh yak furs after walking 50 miles all day long. Dude hasn't had any normal ass to compare anything too so he coulda smashed Auntie one last time, at least she was clean.

jon wouldn't get in his aunt's guts for the greater good and it drove the mad queen..mad

As vindictive and vengeance seeking Daenerys was over 8 seasons, she never sought to spill blood for the sake of spilling blood. Outside of the Tarlys, you could come up with a reasonable justification for just about every act of violence she perpetrated, because it was almost entirely directed at slavers, traitors and backstabbers.
This is a woman that kept her dragons chained in a dungeon for a year because one of them burnt a child alive. There needed to be a seasons worth of development to show the descent from that woman to the fire breathing lunatic we saw last night.
I think if she'd flown to the Red Keep and incinerated it, that wouldve been in keeping with her character, but the episode had her circling the city and systematically reducing it to rubble and ash for seemingly no reason other than to shock us, solidify her heel turn and mentally prepare us for whatts looking to be an ugly and violent demise for her next episode.
The entire episode was incredibly shot though, arguably the best directed episode of action tv ever. It's a shame the actors, directors and talent behind the scenes was let down by a rushed script, WHICH THE WRITERS DELIBERATELY CHOSE, since they turned down an HBO offer of another 10 episode season.

BTW have we discussed how utterly worthless the Golden Company was?

@ Sam having more confirmed kills than them...

the strickland bum was supposed to be some targeryan offspring who would be pivotal in the war.

the elephants would have made a difference

 

[Jhoon]

ALSO....

THESE IDIOTS SHOULD HAVE HAD JAMIE DIE IN THE NK WAR...

IT WOULD HAVE IMPROVED THE EPISODE
AND SHOWN ANYBODY CAN GET IT...

THEN THEY COULD HAVE HAD VARYS BE THE MAIN CHARACTER WHO GOT KILLED IN THE CRYPT.

INSTEAD THEY LET BOTH LIVE
ONLY TO TURN AROUND
AND MAKE BOTH CHARACTERS IDIOTS WHO CAUSED THEIR OWN DEATHS.



​

I disagree. A poetic death needs to have irony. The Lannister twins dying in a womb of bricks is fitting for Cersei who is dumb as bricks. And Varys. The guy survived so much only to be undone by his corny trickery. It’s like they don’t get it: Dany doesn’t need any of you.

Nah, that's a legit complaint imo. If that's what the writers' intended with that scene...and who the fukk knows what these guys ever intend...it's some shytty and very retrograde motivation

It could've worked had they discussed dual rule like Varys had brought up and then been distressed at his rejection of that plan. Or something deeper than what we got. Like everything else, it's a victim of the rushed schedule

The city was the wheel. Her goal was to break the wheel. She broke the wheel.

That's expected. When a show is critically acclaimed, most critics are weary of giving bad reviews cause it might hurt their rep. If you give a bad review when nobody else did then it looks like you don't "get it". Nobody likes to feel left out.

That's why the scores gradually went down. Cause as more critics started joining in on the hate, all of the rest felt safe to do the same. Nobody thinks for themselves anymore, they just follow the rest. If this episode was episode 1, it prolly woulda gotten a 95%. That's why I don't put much stock in these scores. None of them dudes are any better than us. This last episode was terrible and it deserves all the criticism it's getting. But a lot of people are simply hating because it's the "cool" thing to do now. It's group think at its finest. Most of our society would rather just conform than face any type of conflict.

Or they gave those early episodes the benefit of the doubt because they were set up episodes with character interactions we've been dying to see for years, but when we finally got to see the "pay off" for the setup, they realized it was shyt and rated it accordingly.

Really don't blame Grey Worm at all, dude ain't got no dikk and he lost the love of his life

choked on my drink

You’re advocating incest. What is he a Lannister?

 

[Reece]

A lot of people complaining haven’t read any of the books or anything about the characters. Dany locked her former best friend in a damn vault in Season 2 breh. In a vault!!! To starve to death. She watched while her only brother had 375 degree melted gold poured on his forehead breh and said he was no dragon afterward She burned the fukk out that witch too back in the day. It’s always been there in Dany. Her experiences since then pushed her over the edge. But she was always borderline crazy. Have y’all been watching or not?

Yea, she always had those impulses to go scorched earth on everything but she's had good people to rely on. She now has no one who she could truly confide in.

its fukked up tbh

shyt, the way they did cersei, brienne, and dany is all the same - a complete fukking joke how love (dikk) made them abandon character completely

im still pissed with missandei's only keepsake being her fukking slave's collar.... not even surprised these fukks would angle for that either

 

[The War Report]

Real talk, GOT should of been 10 seasons.
