Quote HistoryQuoted:
AGAIN, too many people survived this battle for the North not to win. THIS IS MY PROBLEM WITH THE PLOT! Bran is literally a GOD! He sees the past and he sees the future. With his precognition, and Arya’s faceless ability, there is no way the North loses. Dany goes mad queen and starts killing characters? Then why doesn’t Bran warn anybody? Golden Company surprises them somewhere. Why doesn’t Bran warn anybody? Any Stark dies... WHY DOESN’T BRAN WARN THEM! Bran is God. People bow to him at his trees and prey to him. Be prepared people, because the writers are giving us Deus EX Machinas out the ass these final 3 episodes. It’s going to be horrendous. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Quote HistoryQuoted: Not really, there have been lower ranked episodes of GOT. You can check it yourself. But that aside, it's current audience rank is 8.7 on Imdb and the last watch audience liked it rating is 78% on Rotten Tomatoes. Of course that doesn't (or shouldn't) matter to you, if you didn't like it. Liking something isn't based on a democratic vote, neither is disliking something. It's not a team sport. We're not going change our subjective opinions based on some overall collectivist opinion. There is no "winning or losing" here. The simple truth is most viewers liked it, or were at least ok with the episode. For a show that is typically in the 90s that is significant and the primary reason people are upset about the many problems with the last episode. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Wasn't the endgame. If he'd killed Bran and defeated a huge army equipped with VS and dragonglass, the end of Man would have been pretty much guaranteed. Avengers: Endgame wrapped up a storyline 10 years and 20+ movies in the making while The Long Night wrapped up a storyline 8 years and 7+ seasons in the making. I guess getting a satisfying ending for 1 of 2 things I invested 8+ years of my life in isn't bad. Still would have been nice if the one that didn't at least made an effort and wasn't a complete shitshow though.  Attached File |

She couldn't predict anything right with Stannis, didn't have magic, but had magic? Admitted to throwing fake shit into flames to get people to chimp out, but can make dothraki swords aflame, but can't do it to wood, but can? She can predict the Night King getting killed by someone that'd never seen a Whitewalker, but bothered to light up the swords of the Dothraki who I guess she knew were going to die in 2 seconds? Because, that was worthwhile? ETA: That graphic is silly, GRRM always intended for Stannis to be portrayed how he was in the show 
That's how he was really supposed to be

Is there a way to explain it via a womyn character with less screentime's very general sounding quote - even after re-arranging the words a bunch to make it mean something different? Is there a way to "subvert expectations", because, finishing what they've built is "boring" and "predictable", and it's "smart" to put in 2 last second details and change everything?

They don't play a big active role, because it violates some sort of "prime directive" like attitude that things need to happen the way they are supposed to happen. Which ironically does somehow include their intervention, from time to time. So in that respect they're like Jim Kirk on the USS Enterprise. ...the old Greenseer even had green women around, he just didn't fuck them. I think the role they play is they can be used, if needed, to get the writers out of a tough spot, by doing some sort of Greenseer thing. |

Bran, while watching the unstoppable army of the dead wash over the countryside as a tidal wave of horror... “I wonder where the guy who pushed me out the window is?” If you want to go with only seeing the present, fine. But if you think about it, it starts showing cracks in the story. Bran can see where the undead army is but he doesn’t warn the Umbers and make sure The Last Hearth is cleared? Tormund has to tell everyone that the army of the dead will be there before morning. Shouldn’t Bran have seen and told them that? |

My silly wag theory for Ep4 . . .
Tyrion believes Dani will go Mad Queen if she gets the throne, and doesn't trust Jon to be able to control her or stop her. He resigns as Hand of the Queen and pledges loyalty to Sansa. Arya is first to get to King's Landing, followed by the Hound when he realizes she's missing. She mortally wounds Cersei, but is cut down by the Mountain. When the Hound arrives and discovers Arya is dead, he attacks the Mountain and ultimately defeats him, but dies from his wounds shortly after. With Cersei and the Mountain dead, Euron seizes power. Jon and Dani set off for KL with their forces, but the dragons are at odds with each other. Drogon turns on Rhaegal who has bonded with Jon. Drogon disappears chasing Rhaegal away just as they are about to engage the opposing forces. Cliffhanger . . .

Someone said earlier that Stannis burning his daughter was intended by GRRM. But even if that is the case, you have to write it. GRRM is a skilled writer and can fill his books with interesting stuff while building characters. D&D lack this skill. There probably should have been 3-4 full seasons for the last couple while we see the groundwork for things like Stannis' descent into madness, but D&D can't even write good Tyrion jokes, so the last couple of seasons have basically been on fast forward.

The whole scene was Renly ripping on Stannis and yet they didn't let Stannis get that one line from the book in because why? It would have taken up 3 seconds? |

The plot armor was just a little too heavy this last show. If you want to save characters for the plot, don't put them in desperate situations where it's unlikely they could survive. That was a writing/director flaw. Major gripes with the episode: 1. military formations at the beginning and deployment of military assets. 2. too much plot armor 3. needed to clearly show how Arya did what she did. Before those, I personally think the Night King should have been the ultimate boss, not Cersei. It'll be interesting how they make Cersei a more interesting threat, then the magical immortal with an undead army hellbent on wiping out humanity. I still enjoyed the episode, go figure. |

Have the army set up properly, with the army behind trenches and barriers, with commanders and trebuchets in back. You can still show the death-rush overpower and overflow the barriers and front lines in an incredible tide. It shows the living being very prepared but still pathetically overwhelmed. You can have the dead do unpredictable tactics. Maybe have dead giants launch handful of undead at groups of men, or up over the walls. When things start looking bleak, have Davos launch the signal for calvary. They are located on makeout point with D&J, and they come down charging at the side. Right before the moment of impact, NK dives out of the night sky and torches them. The commanders beat the retreat when the army of the undead reaches the back lines. You still get the impact of a losing battle with devastation. |

They wanted to show desperation, but the writers could of done so intelligently. Have the army set up properly, with the army behind trenches and barriers, with commanders and trebuchets in back.

Quoted: It wasn't. The plot armor was just a little two heavy this last show. If you want to save characters for the plot, don't put them in desperate situations where it's unlikely they could survive. That was a writing/director flaw. Major gripes with the episode: 1. military formations at the beginning and deployment of military assets. 2. too much plot armor 3. needed to clearly show how Arya did what she did. Before those, I personally think the Night King should have been the ultimate boss, not Cersei. It'll be interesting how they make Cersei a more interesting threat, then the magical immortal hellbent on wiping out humanity. I still enjoyed the episode, go figure.

You still get the impact of a losing battle with devastation. Shamalamadingdong did this with Glass recently and was rightly slammed for it as well. Just watch the Battle of Helm's Deep for a primer on how to do it right. For all of the talk about how GOT is so much more realistic than LOTR, the battles sure don't prove that. |

Anyone think Dany might be preggers with Jon? At least Queen SJW would be dead though. |
