It's that good fam?

Season one is simply really good. 2 & 3 are outstanding

 

[Ill-Yaz]

Any chance of the finale leaking before its aired?

The wait is unbearable

 

[NSSVO]

They gotta do a series on the East side of their world.

Because people thought it was going to pay off rushing the set up to give more time for the end game. Upon reflection, people would have given the same amount of grief for rushing seasons 5-7 if they knew it wasn't going to pay off with a fleshed out end game

Leave season 6 outta this, the way that season built up and ended with the Battle of the b*stards and the final episode are both leagues better than season 8.


But yea 7 got a pass because everyone assumed this would be the goat season, when its not even a top 5 season.

Yo I have never seen anything like this. I mean, with Last Jedi it was just Mark Hamill taking shots at the movie but it seems like EVERY member of this cast is OPENLY shytting on the show before the season is even over

I’m rewatching this series again to wash away the stench of season 8 like another poster said.


Holy shyt the writing used to be on such a high level. We didn’t even see any spectacle until episode 9 of the second season. Everything was driven by pitch perfect dialogue.

One thing we can say about D&D, they are great at adapting GRRM’s work.

I’m watching episode 2 of season 2 right now. I’m chuckling at how Loras put the battery in Renley’s back.

Those two queens really were out there playing war

Renly and especially Loras are actually two more examples of some of the shytty ways D&D adapted the books. Renly and Loras aren't queens in the book. Renly is a younger version of Robert in terms of appearance and charisma. He is pretty much Robert without the vices of whoring and drinking, which is why he would make such a great King. So while he loves fighting in tourneys and hunting in the books, his first scene on the show has him being afraid of blood while being shaved by his lover

They did Loras even worse than that though. In the books he is essentially a younger Jaime Lannister. The same witty arrogance and ability to back his shyt talking up. In Jaime's POV chapters, he talks about how the kid is as nice with the sword as almost anybody in Westeros and how he might become everything Jaime could or should have been if he wasn't the kingslayer.

In the show, Loras is just the gay dude, or "Margaery's brother." And while book Loras takes a vow of celibacy after Renly dies because it really fukked him up, show Loras just moves on to fukking gay prostitutes and getting arrested for it by two unarmed deacons And then he starts crying in the cells while Margaery stands tall

They really ruined Loras.
