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

[Tasha And]

I don't even remember the volonqar prophecy being in the show. I just remember the prophecy of all of Cersei's children dying being in the show

Yeah there is no valonqar prophecy in the show.

 

[PikaDaDon]

Seems like the past seasons don't mean anything.

The Valonqar prophecy wasn't fullfilled.
The Night King wasn't killed by the Lord of the Light.
No one knows what happened to the Night Walker baby
Folks acting out of character (i.e.: Tyrion being dumbed down, Cersei crying in the end, Varys getting caught/killed, Littlefinger getting outsmarted by a teenage girl, Brienne crying her eyes out when Jaime left)

 

[The Wolf Among You]

When we had criticism; nikkas said “You missed your chance to be a Hollywood screenwriter!”, “Y’all just miserable.”, “The show is fine, y’all over exaggerating.”, “Make your own epic fantasy if you’re such a good writer.” etc.

Daenerys does something you don’t like and now it’s “This is so out of character!”, “The writers really dropped the ball!”,
“This shyt sucks!”.

I hate all you stanning, fake ass fans.


Btw, Peter Dinklage is a fantastic actor, that goodbye scene between Tyrion and Jamie.

I loved the episode. I think some of y'all are missing some things. Character arcs arent necessarily about change. None of these characters have changed in who they are. They may have grown, but that doesn't mean change. This episode makes sense.

Everyone always feared that Dany would burn the city, when they learned she had 3 living dragons. She was groomed into a savage from the beginning. And any time she got upset, she burned people. She got the Unsullied by robbing the plug. Tyrion, Varys, were there to set her on the diplomatic path. They failed. She only knew one way. That was never gonna change.

Tyrion loves his siblings, especially Jamie. Lannisters are bluffers...except Joffrey. Even Tywin said he was never gonna let them execute Tyrion. Jamie did everything for Cersei. Cersei said "we belong together. We came in this world together. We're leaving together." Tyrion was gonna do what he could to save his family.
.

The "not making sense" thing is much more about the whys and hows than the whats of the story.

Dany burned and killed people that betrayed her, opposed her or stood in her way of being a good/different kind of ruler she was never a mass murderer nor felt compelled to kill innocent people. She showed mercy from Season 1 when the Dothraki were raping and destroying towns and even got in trouble for that. I would buy her becoming mad like her father if HOW she got there made more sense. I'm pretty sure GRMM's idea is to make her go crazy too. But this was so plot driven that if felt forced as hell. Varys and Tyrion didn't fail to reign her in, they were the MAIN reason everything went to shyt and her life was in shambles.

We just saw how destructive Drogon is. From day 1 Dany wanted to go to King's Landing, burn the Red Keep and get rid of Cercei. Now we know that would've taken her 10 minutes. The show made it a thing to destroy Tyrion's intelligence by making him take retarded decision after retarded decision just so Dany's forces would get depleted and we could feel there was a level playing field between her and Cercei...turns out that none of that even mattered because Drogon obliterated the entire city with the quickness anyways

Tyrion NEVER loved Cercei, he only cared for Jaime because he was good to him when nobody else was. He despised her sister, over and over again. He promised her he would hurt her if he had the chance. But when the story needed him to stop Dany, Tyrion had to trust Cercei a bunch of times and be made a fool. Now not only that happens, but now we have to believe he cares for her to live to the point of sending Jamie to rescue her? Tyrion didn't give a single fukk about his family when he killed his fukking father for being an a$$hole to him and fukking his girl but he's all about family now?

 

[YOLO_JONES]

all this cuz Jon wouldn’t dikk her down... he truly is a b*stard!

 

[ALonelyDad]

Why was Arya given so much screen time? She already killed the NK. Why are they still telling her story?

They were just using her to show the random people and how they were all dying because of Dany

 

[The axe murderer]

Dany fans on tumblr are livid

Mountain:

 

[The axe murderer]

She could have burned down the Red Keep and killed Cersei in one night. Same way Aegon took Harrenhall (sp).

But no, Varys and Tyrion gave her bad advice.

Facts

 

[Biscayne]

I think it was strategic, mainly blind rage though. But she did purge King's Landing of all the shyt that was created post-Aerys's murder. I guess her idea was that burning all of KL would burn the history of the lannisters and evil rulers

Who she gonna rule over with all those innocents dead? They had Cersei in their pockets. They were surrendering. Throwing down their swords. Just take Cersei prisoner and execute her. The city hated the Lannisters anyways. Especially after she blew up the high septon. Never in history has a Targaryen just been like

"You know what, F it all. Damn it all to hell!!"

Even when Arys about to burn Kings Landing, it was moreso on a last second hail Mary, when it was apparent he was gonna lose to Robert Baratheon. Dany won, and yet went crazy......like, cmon.

 

[dtownreppin214]

Jamie should've killed Cersei. Or Cersei should've killed Jamie, and then committed suicide. It would've tied in well with what she told Ned in season 1.

Cersei: Season 1 "We shared a womb. We came into this world together. We'll leave this world together"

Why would Jaime kill Cersei? He's MADLY IN LOVE with her. He proved it over and over and over again throughout the series.They went out perfectly imo.

 

[ThiefyPoo]

 

[klientel]

Can u imagine if arya killed the mountain or cersei? Lmaoo

The city is in fukkn ruins...the bytch couldnt find her...hence the "shes worthless this episode"

They could have had her run into Cersei while everyone was escaping, at this point it don’t even matter

The same way Euron casually ran into Jamie at the exact moment he got out of the water.

 

[The Fukin Prophecy]

what part of the bytch has gone mad do you not understand

she said she gonna instill fear into everyone to get their respect right befroe they rode out to go to war

bytch snapped

What you don't seem to understand is the BUILD UP TO HER GOING MAD IS FORCED

If they built this shyt up better nobody would be complaining about it...

She goes from being perfectly sane and stable to completely insane in 1 episode torching innocent women and children...

You have to be a huge stan to overlook this nonsense...
