Just got around to watching Sunday's episode. Parts of it I liked. The conversations between Tyrion and Varys reminded me of what GoT used to be, even if they weren't of the same caliber. But man...man...the dragon. I'm just supposed to accept that neither Dany nor her dragons saw any of those boats? Really? Like, that's what Line of Sight is. If he can see her to shoot big arrows then she can see him doing so. What it amounts to is the script needed it to happen so it did. Don't ask questions. Just consume product then get excited for next product.

Actually, he's a stalwart Male Ally who truly knows a woman's plight because when he says "Dany kind of forgot" what he means is "I kind of forgot."

Twist that would fix the whole series: Arya wears a Jamie mask and then dices her while fucking Gone Girl style.

It may be the first movie ever made for the pervert fans.

Starbucks cup had the best arc this season.

I haven't watched it yet because I was traveling and last week's episode sort of suck every bit of will power to watch the show out of me. But I will say on a long enough timeline I'm always right.

Martin has been relatively silent since this episode from what I've seen. In fact, the night it aired he didn't talk about it at all and instead just tweeted about another show he's worked on that was coming out. I anticipate an interview at some point in the future after the series is over where he distances himself from the creative choices D&D made in the later seasons to appease HBO bosses counting new subscriptions and the normie fans of the show.

The problem is the pretense of the show was it broke with the fantasy tropes it has now become. That is what was meant to set it apart from LOTR or Harry Potter. One can try to claim that the adherence to tropes in this 11th hour is the subversion of narrative expectations, but we all know that D&D simply do not work in that meta headspace. It quickly devolves into Last Jedi-esque appeals to authority.

In defense of the show, Jon being hopelessly stupid but saved by divine intervention has been one of the most dramatically consistent aspects.

That's actually why I'm kinda looking forward to the Netflix Witcher series. It has no pretense of being anything other than Kevin Sorbo Hercules but with tits and beheadings.

You say "dragons or gtfo" but I just mentioned Hillary. Forgive me I couldn't help myself. But with the way this is turning out I have to say I will regret not seeing D&D's Civil War alternate history HBO series.

I'm actually holding my powder a bit in that regard but whatever, we'll let the matter die here.

Better than what? You leveled a personal attack, which you again did in this thread, I responded in kind by mentioning your perennial compliment fishing. Nothing was said here or in response that you didn't initiate. If you're disappointed with how people reply to your taunts then you should cease taunting.

People are allowed to like what they want. I like plenty of dumb shit too ( 80's Arnie flicks). But this show was presented as a certain thing in the beginning and now as you say it has become an Avengers noise factory. And I'm sick of Marvel movies for a reason. For what it's worth I think the next 3 episodes in King's Landing will be better, if only because zombies are the laziest plot device known to exist and it will become more cloak and dagger intrigue. At least I hope.

I'm guessing their nonsensical charge was unscripted but the extras all wanted to go home even more than the writers.

Yes, I'm so pathetic I'm not the one in eyeliner repeatedly fishing for affirmation on a 2nd hand message board. And the rest of us were having a discussion about our criticisms of the creative decisions made and how they were inconsistent with the rules of the universe as they had been set up. You're the one who tumbled in crying because you weren't being sufficiently validated, again.

There's nothing pseudo about my wit. And I didn't say you couldn't enjoy it. What you seem to have a problem with is that other people don't. You're allowed to voice your opinions on things you like and I'm allowed to do the same. I don't wander into photo threads and whine about how gauche your makeup application is.

I believe in you, but your penis remains a superstition.

I don't think anyone should feel dumb, save for the writers of Game of Thrones for choosing to end things like this because this is the best they could come up with and/or all the effort they could muster because they're tired of it and want to move on to Star Wars. However, you're in essence asking me to forget what the show was in it's first 4 years to judge it now in a vacuum, but I'm not going to ignore the fact that it now resembles Harry Potter more than its former self.

Because there's no point in not finishing it when it's this close to done. It's like dropping out of high school a month before graduation. Get it over with since you already put the time in. That and it's just more fun to shit on than earnestly try to rationalize enjoying this dreck. If you like it that's fine. Some of us aren't as easily amused.

They're the guys who wrote Troy. I've seen their caliber when Martin isn't there to attach training wheels to their bicycles.

Thing is this show isn't made for us anymore. It's made for people on Twitter who make giffys about how Hillary Clinton is Khaleesi.
