Game Of Thrones: Season 8

[Tin-Tin]

There are so many ways they could have gone and of course not everyone would be happy but it seems like they have opted for the nuclear option of pee off 80% of fans.

I know this is very different to the books but I assume Daenerys going mad was mapped out by GRRM just strangely executed

She should have been slowly going mad over the past 3 seasons, rather than doing it over a couple of episodes... sure some people will point to her killing innocents previously but there was no real narrative based around her gradually going mental, she went from a bit annoyed to full on genocidal maniac in one episode lol

Having said that as lovely as Emilia Clark is, she's not the best of actresses (putting it kindly) and thus I'm not entirely sure she could have pulled it off in a convincing way.

Absolutely. Her struggles in Meereen were the first time her challenges to rule was solved by brute force. Since then she's been portrayed more like a paragon or hero coming to save the living from the dead. Losing 2 dragons should have made her mad but the show hasn't really demonstrated that effect.

And yeah, mad Amelia looks more like cute and pouty than a dragon-riding warlord.

Ironically they were trying to please “new fans” with all of the romance shipping and CGI that nobody gives a hoot about. Mainstream pressure is a bish

Forgot about Dany, she’s irrelevant to the mess they’ve made of it

Spoiler: Spoiler

the whole Tyrion ratting out Varys, friend since season dot, both believe in the greater good, both want a true leader with no blood shed. Yet after Tyrion already suspects dany is about to go off her tits he turns him in. Nope

Then Varys’ letter. Writing a treasonous letter down the hall from the mad hatter queen. One of the cleverest men in the show is now dumb. All of a sudden one of his little birds makes an appearance just to ram home how good of a man he his. We know

He accepts his death with no explanation, and it seems like the dragon has ninja stealth because nobody could hear or see a 100ft mythical fire breather right behind her barnet.

She destroys the entire iron fleet with one dragon, dodging 100’s of arrows yet last week she totally forgot about them and they had better aim apparently. The entire fleet must have been on the lash the night before this battle because Eurons aim left him this week

Why was Jamie Lannister kept hostage, they would have off’d him immediately. In fact why was he going back. His entire character for god knows how long was to get from the grasp of his sister
Euron gets launched off a boat but magically appears at exactly the same spot that Jamie is finding the hidden stairway. All for the final Hollywood fight
Why didn’t Dany just destroy the Red Keep
Why was the hound and Arya just allowed to enter a city in lockdown after telling everyone of their intentions
why hasn’t bran told anyone that Dany is off her tits

Soooo much more to go in about as well

The only good things out the episode I thought:
Tyrion and Jamie’s interaction. Both great characters
Dany actually acted like a women possessed, even though I hated it had come to this she looked like a totally psycho
The hound and Arya interaction. I know people will disagree but I thought it was good that he warned her off vengeance to not be like him

Anyway it’s been ruined completely. The story has been dismantled for CGI to drag more people in and those to writer need to fired the pair of Disney writing hacks

This summary is just everything.

Apparently Jamie had fully functioning hands before he died too

Oh and Sansa is just as slimy as Littlefinger. She seemed jealous of Arya when she returned to winterfell and tried to undermine Jon quite often too before betraying his trust for her own selfish reasons. She's always wanted to be a queen.

Hope she dies.

 

[Dom1878]

Only characters I'm really bothered about are Drogon and Ghost to be honest.

In series gone by there’d be a story there that could be explored, because you’re bang on the money. But it’ll all be left in the bin

What annoys me the most about this season is that the show writers no doubt thought themselves oh so very clever when they wrote this tripe.

As though the notion of a despotic leader being overthrown by somebody who portrays themselves as a saviour only to then in turn become an even bigger and more evil dictator in the process isn't somthing of a theme throughout history......

You know last episode she'll fight at Winter fell, draw and lose the throne by 1 point.

 

[Kenshin]

So in one episode they destroy 7 seasons of character build up for both Jamie and dany?!

What was the bloody point?

Can't defend that writing

 

[Kenshin]

Can we just give a quick round of applause to the completely pointless inclusion of Arya into this episode. Did nothing, saved no one & found an invincible horse.

Actually disagree with that.

Araya provided the ground level perspective of what was happening with innocents dying.

There really wasn't anyone else who could offer that.

Yet she's portrayed as some saintly, righteous, level headed leader. Same way Jon is some sort of mother Theresa.
