A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones)

I don't blame the show writers for the drop off. They thought George's books would be done by now. They're not. It's not their fault.  

They had to finish the entire series on their own. They had a couple of months to write what GRRM takes a decade to do. 

What are they supposed to do? Wait another 10 years for George to finish? 

They did what they could. 

No SJW stuff -- just bad writing.



- The plot is terrible
- The writing is terrible
- The characters are acting out of character
- The characters are stupid just to move the plot forward
- It's insanely rushed



You don't want to blame the writers of the show for bad writing? And both HBO and GRRM wanted Thrones to go 10 seasons. It's D&D that decided to phone-in the finale while rushing to the finish. Presumably so they could do their post-Civil War alternate history and Star Wars trilogy. Both of which I don't have high hopes for given how bad the writing for Thrones steadily became once they ran out of source material.

And I would really like to read ASoIaF if GRRM ever finishes it -- but it's not his job to bring GoT to a conclusion. That is all on D&D, and they are doing a horrible job of it. Even if they pull off some masterful twist in the final two episodes that avoids the obvious, heavily-foreshadowed plot -- seasons 7 & 8 will still be tainted with, "What the fuck are they doing?"

they really have rushed this. I'm new to GOT, binge watch 1-7 in January.

this picture below pretty much describes this season and the ones before it. 




^ though season 6 is my favourite. love Arya and that faceless sh*t.

It's rushed because D&D are sick of GOT (working off someone else's work for 10 years with little to no creative freedom) 
HBO offered them 10 episodes each for the last 2 seasons and they took the lowest common denominator. They're done. 
once disney offered them 100% creative freedom to make their own Star Wars Trilogy they had their exit strategy and it was off to the races they went. 


Anyway....
Who in their right mind would EVER trust a fucking Targaryan with the Throne again after this?

And I'm looking right at John Snow when I say that. 

fuck that family. 

As they say...."fool me once... fool me twice...." 

a few pictures about episode 6 from twitter.

There's already a prequel in the making. Bloodmoon. It's about the nightking menstruating.

What made you cry more?

Jon Snow killing his Queen?
Tyrion strangling his whore?

Jon killing Dany. cause Tyrions hoe... what was her name? it started with S. she got what she deserved.

Dany has been turned into a psycho mass murderer in about 3 episodes. she used to only kill her enemies like the 
Sons of the Harpy but now she mows down innocent kids 

edit: Shea, her name was Shea < though I don't know if that's how you spell it.

yeah Dany's turn into a mass murderer was not earned or set up properly. we needed a full season to ramp that up.

on a positive note.

The scene between Sansa and Tyrion in the crypt is one of the best moments of the series.. 
Theon's sendoff was quite moving as well.

Daeny's victory speech to a thousand screaming dothraki in a post apocalyptic Kings Landing was actually quite frightening. if they had only taken the time to properly set up her devastating character arc - it would have been extremely powerful.

Heh, I'm mostly fine with the way it ended. People expect too much imo. Kinda just glad it's over.

Yeah, I got strong "Saruman speaking to the orc masses in Orthanc" / "Hitler speaking to the nazi masses in Berlin" vibes from that scene. It was a very well done scene. Too bad the buildup was so goddamn rushed.
