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

I have no issue with how Cersai died but her dying in Jaime's arms is what bothered me.

EDIT: No big bad gets the death that the audience wants. None.

If you can find one let me know.

theres gotta be an epilogue season.

 

[OnFleekTing]

Jon has to be the dumbest character on this show
He keeps doing the same shyt as Ned only this time he can't die because he's the main character
Dany should have been dead the minute Varys turned on her

thats weak shyt to appeal to average fans.

the increase in popularity leads to a decrease in the complexity of the characters and storyline

 

[☑︎#VoteDemocrat]

little finger and varys need their own show

add Tyrion and you have the GOAT sneaky MFs on TV.

- clegane bowl was wtf...

- randomly following arya, unless she's now directing her vengence toward dany, another sort of "why", we knew you're not going to kill her

- they played too hard on the "i love my kids/save my baby" angle for cersei, it doesn't work, she's a c*nt who very much deserved to die, wish it would've been a worse death

- as i said last, week, jamie is the biggest simp in this series...

- tyrion

- grey worm put in work

- the random fight with euron was superfluous as well, we coulda seen him die on the boat and called it a day, not like he killed jamie nor that jamie's injuries prevented the final outcome of them being trapped under the keep

- kinda weird for that episode to finally happen and i feel nothing, again, this rushed storytelling just makes so many of these big arcs and events feel like they're less than, i guess it was cool to see the city burn, but i don't feel like i got anything from that visually that i didn't get from seeing people burn in the loot train episode

overall

Brehs really asking why the Hound wanted to kill his brother?


And we told y'all last week Euron got the drop on Dany because she was on a joyride. shyt was much different this time around because she was prepared.

I didn't want Arya to kill Cersei nor did I expect it because they were making it to obvious. I think she came to Kings Landing to kill a queen, just not the one we all expected.

I think lost in the Dany stuff is...people failed to pay attention to what she really did after her other dragon got dropped. She went straight at them! She gauged them to see how long it would take to reload them Scorpions. Remember how they were all sited up and she was able to easily out maneuver them.

 

[Daio]

Yall talking about Dany burning folks like it's a torturous way to go but I'm pretty sure its instantaneous the way Drogon was knockin down buildings with those flames

They explained how dragons fire burns a lil different in previous season. It was able to melt stone. So even if you're grazed by it your skin and limbs are gonna melt

Clarke was absolutely floored when she found out about Daenerys Targaryen’s fate in the final season of Game of Thrones.

Once the British actress received the scripts for Season 8 of Game of Thrones, she had a depressing reaction when learning her character’s fate. Once she read what happens to Daenerys in Season 8, she walked through London for “three hours, aimlessly.” “It might as well have been raining, and I would’ve just walked in it not knowing what to do,” Clarke explained.

That was the moment I realized that alcohol can also be a depressant,” Clarke said. “I was kind of nursing a glass of wine going, ‘I don’t know why I’m not getting any happier from this.'” Did you try a Dornish red? Those are supposed to be exquisite.

Emilia added that there were “loads of tears” while she filmed her final scenes as the Dragon Queen. These don’t exactly sound like the reaction to someone’s character sitting on the Iron Throne as the rightful ruler of Westero

 

[Woodwerkz]

funny...I know this may be an issue to some (not you) but it goes beyond the bells...after killing missandei...them surrendering so quickly was just simply not enough to satisfy her need for revenge...I can only imagine watching someone shoot someone I love (god forbid)...then I get the drop on them while armed and the person drops their gun and says “hey man...I give up...call the police”

me:

*edit*

my only complaint given my analogy is her not going directly for cersei and bringing those towers down as opposed to burning the entire city to the point of putting her own ppl @ risk

I think she was probably like....fukk IT! I had my people died fighting NK...none of y all pulled up and y'all rocking with that Bytch. #DrogonPurge

I hated that line too but he was also going to ring the bells to end the war once he and Cersei escaped. But I’m talking specifically about his death. People were hoping he went back to Cersei to kill her and were upset they didn’t get what they wanted when he didn’t. It’s always been a toss up whether he was going to kill Cersei or die with her but people act like he had to kill her or his entire arc was a waste.

it was a waste

cersei blew up the westeros equivalent of the vatican, had zombies raping people, and was setting their army/house to get murked constantly - that's the same shyt he killed the mad king for lol

so is his story incest conquers all or what? that bell ain't mean shyt either way and he of all people should know because wars/sieges ain't anything new. the only way to stop that was with the head of the ruler - which is what stopped the last one.

again, let him fail succeed live or die but dont just shyt on characters of a story you've taken over. this kind of thing happens in comics and it ends with people being blacklisted for life...

 

[Biscayne]

"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"- Jmare007

^^^^@Jmare007 You summed it up perfectly. This guy gets it.

He was never going to kill Cersie, he always loved her more than everyone. That was his flaw. But I didn't like that line either, I do think he changed in that aspect that he started caring about others..but at the end of the day he cared about Cersie above all.

The Arya scene was intended to show the scope of the destruction caused by Dany from the perspective of the commoners but it failed when Arya didn’t die. Arya dying would have turned the fanbase against Dany, created even more of a reason for a Jon/Dany rift, and it would have been one of the more emotional scenes of the season.

 

[Reece]

So maybe I'm an idiot but does anyone have an explanation for the Arya/Horse scene? I was lost on what they were trying to do there.

Revelations. Pale Horse is a representation of death in the Bible.

For me, I always felt there was a biblical aspect to ASOIAF. I just thought the white walkers were going to usher in destruction to King’s Landing but it was Dany
