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

@Adam3000 had the nerve to blaspheme goat robot, in this thread of all places

If season 4 is as good as season 3 it'll arguably be a top 5 show.

Meanwhile "GOT" went from top 10 to not mentioned at all.

They could have easily made Jon's Targaryan blood relevant by having Drogon blast him after he kills Dany. Jon walks out of the fire, Drogon gets weirded out and flys off with Dany. Would have been so easy.

I think they fukked up the chance to do that way earlier in the series because I remember a scene where Jon got burned, or almost did. Can't remember the exact scene or context, but he didn't react to fire or heat the way Dany does.

All these alternative endings I’m reading that are so much better than what we got

The ending where Jorah basically takes Jon spot during the stuff ather the Long Night and Jon becomes King instead of Bran is so much better it would’ve had more weight since they botched Jon/Dany love story

 

[fact]

They played a Dark Phoenix trailer back to back at one of my showings last week. The desperation is real.

I was talking to my wife who is a fox X-men Stan, and I told her how fukking trash Sansa is as an actress, she was so fukking mad at me, lol

Season 3 was

I’m glad I gave it another chance. My only wish is if they didn’t drag out that s2 twist. I felt like they could’ve did more for the show if they moved quicker in s2. It lost some momentum.

I think they were, just like GRRM in the books, highlighting the fact that Dany is full blooded Targ, while Jon is half Stark

I don't know why so many people loved Season 7. It was the same as Season 8. Rushed.

Season 7 had its issues but there was always the chance that they could stick the landing with season 8. People still had hope back then.

After every misstep or whenever we had questions about certain plot points, we always got the same answer by the D&D apologists...wait until the end. They’ll address it at the end. You can’t criticise them there’s still one season to go. Lmao it’s so disappointing in hindsight.

I can’t directly link to the video...but this shyt is hilarious, they put a laugh track on the small council meeting, further highlights how cringe a lot of that was

Sooner or later we'll all see who the prophet is.

You also said this, a couple posts later:

I think "GOT" will end logically.

I also said this in the same post from 5 years ago:

My main concern isn't GRRM's skill, it's his writing being filtered through the show. Granted, I don't read the books, but what differences I do know of between the two seem fairly trivial to me, but have been a major source of contention for some fans. So I'm curious just how much the two will deviate from each other as the show/books go on. Even if the end is the same.

Which is exactly what happened.

Minus the show runners bailing for "Star Wars", obviously.

That was actually me.

Anyone still putting this show above The Sopranos can't be taken seriously
