Quoted: Stop it. GOT was (WAS) the best thing that ever happened to television. Then, these fuckheads got their Star Wars contracts or something, and decided "Fuck the ending of GOT, we got $ to make". That is precisely WHY people are hating this bullshit we're being fed by these filthy cocksuckers here in season 8. View Quote "Got was (WAS) the best thing that ever happened to television." I think it's one of a handful of television shows I've really enjoyed watching. Season 8 has been disappointing so far. |

To answer your other question yes most of us liked GOT when dumb and dumber had GRRM 's specific details for the story and filming. When they had to write it themselves in the last couple seasons is when it turned to shit. That little gaff is no desert open area leading up to the wall(s) in King's Landing. In fact if you look at the Westeros and city map there is no wall or desert area to the city like that for Cersi and crew to stand on like that. They made up the entire scene somewhere not called King's Landing. So is there a problem or do people have to love or hate the whole thing and nothing in between?

Quoted: Snip I don't know why people expect brilliant tactics from Jon and Dany. Neither are experienced generals and neither have been trained or studied military tactics. Jamie is probably the only person there with any tactical knowledge. View Quote |

I'm not an Emily Clark fan, and I think that carries over into my dislike of the Daenerys. However, I do think she might play the descent into madness well. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Quoted: Flanking maneuvers, and calvary in general, work better against living breathing humans who care about their life, and tend to break and run in fear. The undead don't do that. In my opinion, the flaming swords served three main purposes. The first, as the writers said, is to offer a bit of hope after the utter feeling of darkness and hopelessness leading up to the scene. The second, is it allowed the audience to see the swords going out, in the darkness. Which I believe is a lot less expensive to shoot then an actual on screen portrayal of the calvary being destroyed. Finally, it was important for Daeny to see the flames go out, so she would decide to break from the original plan and fly her dragons, instead of waiting for the Night King to show up. The use of military assets was irrelevant. The story called for there to be no hope for a conventional military win. So even if they had set up the battlefield to everyone's satisfaction, the result would have been the same. Because that's what the writers wanted the story to be. View Quote |

Dumb and Dumber were attached long before HBO bought the rights to ASOIAF.

Although I have to admit it's still positive. I think if the last 2 episodes are like the first 4, it's not going to be a good final season. Had the writers performed this poorly in a prior season, I think they would have been replaced by HBO. HBO had a pretty good culture of high expectations when it comes to their their content properties. Or at least they did, now that they've been bought out, and cut cost, I doubt they'll ever be like they were again. I hope I'm wrong. |

I didn't ever need to see Hodor's dong. |

You think the outcry is due not only to hard core fans being pissed at the shit writing, but also from butthurt Dany fans that see that she’s going full mad queen?

View Quote I think by and large the hardcore fans, team *insert name here*, and casuals are all taken aback about how a show, that they've had years of involvement in, is literally wrapping up this way cause the directors are tired of it and want to go do other things. Fuck the fans. Get to the end as fast as possible They said here's where we're at at S8E1 and where we need to be at the end of S8E6. Then proceed to write the entire script to reach that exact goal without consideration of story, character, plausibility, or any other factor that made GoT good. Given the amount of backlash across the web, I don't think that's an unfair statement |

Speaking of which, how amazing would this show be if Vince Giligan was the one given control the past 2 seasons? The man made the plot of a HS teacher making meth into one the best, if not greatest, show of all time. He created that shit. Think about if he was given these characters and plots. I’ve got a chub thinking about it.
