I actually didn’t mind the begging. It shows Dany as human and capable of being torn about being in love vs being a “destined” queen. If the past two seasons had been better written, this could have been a PERFECT turning point for both Jon and Dany (Dany into “mad queen” territory and Jon into “Is honor REALLY worth it?” Territory. Jon and Dany could have really been a great tragic romance but the writer’s BOTCHED it by making their romance wayyyyyyy to rushed and unbelievable. I am CONVINCED that Season 7 at least should have been the standard ten episodes to really get into the heart of WHY Jon and Dany would fall for one another. This was supposed to be THE couple that we (the audience) root for and WANT to see together before destiny rips them apart. Instead most of us gave more of a shyt about Tormound romancing Brienne than we did the King Of The North and The Dragon Queen
They barely know each other and are talking about love :mjlol: shyt always comes off awkward as fukk and forced

There’s some bad sh1t this season but not this. If Jon was ruler he’d take it seriously even if he didn’t want it originally. I don’t see him drinking and fukking all the time

Main stream media runs with anything that gets clicks.
no... clickbait media runs with it... this is actually based in facts.. they never sold this mad queen shyt except burning the tarleys.. and as jon said "I executed my enemies too" so did Ned and everyone else. Nobody was talking that "Oh just lock him up for deserting the wall"

Motherfukkers killed their liege lord, rebelled against the rightful queen, then tried to kill her.... after House Tarley was original a Targ house in the first place... But now she "mad"

I dont think this is a bad writing example, I can imagine Varys's opinion of a good leader has changed after seeing how everything's played out since then
That's just a clickbait meme, Varys never says anything about Robert not wanting to rule in that scene. He just calls Robert a disaster and says things have only gotten worse.

But the same time was given to Jon & Ygritte...they were clearly more believable as a couple (as they are married now).

Jon & Dany have never had any chemistry. In the books, Jon only falls for Ygritte b/c he sees a softer side of her when she sings. Which is even more reason why his character wouldn't fall for Dany b/c all the girl gives is fire & brimstone.

:what:

I had no idea he wrote that movie.

I won't say the series immediately fell off when they ran out of source material, but as the source material dried up it seems like the show runners lost interest in it. Even with HBO offering them as much money and time as they want they still wanted to end it ASAP. Which is crazy to me.

Fred.
I don’t know if there is a precedence for it but HBO should have them step down if they didn’t want to give the show a proper ending. I’d imagine some of the actors would be upset but that’s nothing more money can’t fix.

The worst part about all of this is how hubris these dudes are. They stopped consulting with GRRM after they passed the books which makes absolutely no sense to me. The best writer on their staff is Bryan Cogman, the only writer that fully understands the lore of the series, and he’s only written one episode this season (episode 2) while D&D are credited with writing episodes 4, 5, and 6 :snoop:

Man WTF.. I clicked the wrong game of thrones thread I guess and I'm like why the fukk are people posting spoilers. Good thing once i noticed I got out of there.
If the actual video footage ain't out, don't believe it... shyt they might have even leaked fake scripts and filmed multiple endings.. I went in there once and it was a bunch of shyt that didn't pan out..... but I'm not going back either way
