I miss these days. Easily one of the best scenes with one of the best actors and character on the show.
Brehs wanna talk about disappointment need to watch the finals seasons of dexter then talk to me :mjaggy:nikkaz been in here crying for 2 weeks straight
Just watch the last 2 episodes and keep it moving
I'll save my final judgement until the end.
Season 8 is a bit disappointing for such a high quality show but I'm still interested to see how it all ends.
This was my introduction to Game of Thrones.
Then my homie gave me a copy of season 1 and it was game on
Yes this might not be as great as it once was but it is definitely not as bad as Dexter or other shows like that

I didn't read it until your post. Yes, very good and everything was valid.That was really good
The funny thing is people (validly) saying how bad D&D are as writers are ignoring the fact that GRRM has written himself into a mess right now.
Everything he has done has been logical to his story, but the plot has taken a dump.
D&D tried to correct this and they completely overcompensated because they are tired of doing the show.
I empathize with them because doing another 3 seasons of this in order to flesh it all out properly is daunting. But I also say fukk them because that was their job when they were given the rights.
Had they properly fleshed it out, a large chunk of people would have called it boring and meandering (except for the hardcore fanbase). But so what. This should have been a legacy defining show, they should have done whatever is necessary.
In the end they did define their legacy....as hacks.
That being said, the backlash has blown up to asinine levels. So much insufferable back patting and echo chamber shouting matches. This is literally the only book series I am invested in at the moment and I have invested a lot of my time and energy into it but I learned a long time ago to seperate it from the show. I can't be outraged. It isn't that serious
The excitement is gone. I remember being hyped on Fridays cause it meant 2 more days til the newest episode. This is supposed to be the biggest coming up and I have no interest in watching it. I'll probably download it and watch it on the train Monday morning since Sunday is mother's day. If i happen to be home early enough tho I'll watch it. It sucks. Feels like boardwalk empire and their rushed end. Hopefully D&D's next project is a dud like that show that replaced boardwalk.

Has there been a thread to vote/discuss the GOAT endings in franchises (TV and/or Movies). As well as the WOATs?
Based on what I've heard (never watch them) - sounds like Lost and Dexter are WOATs.

Agree wholeheartedly with this.
I think a lot of people would've shown their frustrations with 9 season with 10 episodes each because "we still haven't got *insert plot point* after __ years!" but it wouldn't have been nearly as bad as the amount of people rightfully calling D&D out on their bullshyt right now.
Like, even GOAT shows (to me at least) like Mad Men and The Americans got panned by critics for having "nothing happened" seasons near the end of their run. But in the end most let it pass because it was, at the very least, interesting character driven seasons, to the point that when the shows had their finale, their conclussion was "I could watch 10 seasons of these characters just doing stuff", which was basically the exact opposite of their initial criticism
My point being: no one was ever going to be fully happy with how the show got to the end. Specially something like Game of Thrones were a lot of fans like it because of vastly different reasons and regardless of how they did it, they were gonna alienate al least one portion of them because they didn't cater their specific wants of what the show was to them.
BUT, D&D were so tired of the show they just rushed forward for no other reason that they just wanted to wrap it up. And with that, they pissed almost everybody off
I also truly believe their behind the episode explanations have made things MUCH worse because we get to see how they just don't give a fukk anymore.Fully agree on the backlash getting to retarded levels. That's just the discourse nowadays. shyt gotta be the greatest thing ever or the biggest piece of shyt in existence

This is objectively much better than what D&D went with. But I still hate the Bran=NK part and I don't think Bran warging into the Mad King makes any sense whatsoever.

I may have to do a thread search when I get back from the gym before I make it... I don't want a Neg Train for a "thread that has been talked about / created 100 times already
