If this week's pop "theory" is true and we actually get a flying V of Drogon's offspring, lol.... At this point I won't even be mad at it. Light that fukker Euron straight up. DrogonHendrix
For Uncle Rhaegal and Uncle Viserion too

Finally caught up.

While its open season on the show's drop in quality, some of y'all have resorted to straight hate-watching. On some Walking Dead shyt. Earlier seasons would get nitpicked to death if it was under this current level of scrutiny. Some of you should honestly hold off watching and binge the weekend of the finale. Might enjoy it better.

It ain't hate watching. It's more in the realm of sunken investment and disappointment in watching characters be destroyed. The inconsistencies are becoming more and more glaring and y'all want nikkas to act like they don't see what you're probably not

Earlier seasons didn't get nitpicked because earlier seasons were GOAT level quality. It ain't like nikkas woke up and unanimously decided to be like fukk GOT

I don't know why this is hard to grasp

Also being disappointed in a shows fall off don't mean I can't simultaneously be at it. That ain't hate watching

It's not hard to grasp, though. We're just at the point episode critiques only point out the bad and ignore any good parts. I get it. This is typical when shows jump the shark at the height of its popularity. Combine that with HBO's track record with fumbling series finales and its no wonder we're all no longer optimistic. Thread is playing out similarly to when Walking Dead began to fall off, though. Just miserable, destroying any ability to enjoy whatever's presented.

As for earlier seasons, people HATED season 5, but I don't remember it being picked apart nearly as much. I guess not delivering on subplots wasn't as detrimental when you still have huge story arcs developing. fukkin up Night King's exit made it impossible to tolerate the bullshyt any longer. And here we are.

Sadly I now watch GOT only to keep up with the memes.
Damn fat b*stard taking 222 years to write a book.

In reality it’s like this cause it’s the end of the series. It’s no time to make these mistakes up right make them right. So in reality we see “this is it” after 8 seasons and are like wtf is wrong with these clowns. They literally turning Dany into something they never developed ever. Having weeks time jump between scenes where it makes it seem like it took a day and they literally tying up all loose ends horribly cause they feel they don’t have the time

With that said,

Sansa current persona is so unbelievable to me. Show keeps telling me she learned from all these tacticians, but really she was just a pawn in their game, not some understudy. Littlefinger was the best "teacher" she had, but he was played a fool then went out like a bytch. His credibility took a blow from that sequence. Why again should I feel Sansa is now great a thinking 10 steps ahead? Maybe I missed something.

I kinda agree but Sansa has grown on me this season, especially in comparison to Dany. She did play littlefinger when she defended him in the Eyrie, and as a result pretty much secured the knights of the vale for herself

Its crazy Sansa gets so much love from the Twitter crowd. Shes probably the most beloved character behind Arya ... why

I need to see prime Bobby B putting in work with that Warhammer.
