it's noticeably smarter at least

There are legit gripes I have with GOT, but season 2 of Westworld has plotholes in it that could swallow entire galaxies in comparison. I thought WW season 1 was flawed but interesting, but Season 2 pretty much confirmed my suspicion that the writers were just winging it JJ Abrams style without any form of a road map as to where they were going. So much wrong with that entire season, which was all the more maddening given the actual quality of some of the performances. I legit feel sorry for the actors.

I legit feel sorry for the actors.

I feel the same, but with the GoT actors.

Actors that died in season 6 or before should feel relieved that they didn't live long enough to have their characters humiliated.

I'll be honest. I'm not even sure I'm going to bother with Season 3. Season 2 soured me that much. From the trite nature of Shogun World (Hollywood does Japan eye-rollingly badly) through to the ineptness of the security teams, through to the meandering nature of Delores plans and the heavy reliance of serendipity to solve all matters.

Interesting take from a yt comment:

''I would have loved it if they took the Night King all the way to King's Landing, and then have Bran warg into a Dragon and burn King's Landing to the ground...innocents included. It would have been satisfying to see a dark choice being made to a kill a million innocents in order to save millions more. Like Hold the Door, "Burn them All".''

Edit: Though by that point pretty much all of westeros would be dead already, so burning the last million people wouldn't help much. xD

Unless there was some kind of strategic decision or other kind of macguffin provided to give the NK a reason to beeline for King's Landing.

Get your barf buckets ready. This episode will be written and directed by dumb and dumber. Expecticus Subverticus.

Just your daily post reminding you to go read the books.

I will only read the books when GRRM releases Winds of Winter

There's still A Dream of Spring after that.

 

[_Starscream_]

There's still A Dream of Spring after that.

Yeah, but if he releases WoW there's a chance that he will likely finish Dream of Spring.

 

[CrankyJay™]

This ending is the worst kept secret of all time. People are straight up spoiling people on Twitter now, under the guise of clever guesses, lol.

He said he hasn’t even started on it yet. You’d be looking at a 2028 (and beyond) release at this point.

 

[Spukc]

Dutchy here never bothered to check GoT on my ziggo HBO deal . As the first episode of the last season was absolute BS quality. Black crush all over the place etc. I am a huge physical format snob. (bit stream yada yada)

Anyway.

I want to see it as soon as possible. Anyone here knows if ziggo even shows it this at the same time?

Thanks

Well....The last episode threw in the garbage a bunch of fake leaks. There's only one left

 

[Musky_Cheese]

Ready for the biggest plot twist?

Season 8 was secretly written and Directed by Michael Bay

 

[Achelexus]

I wouldn't do that, you'll probably want to read every book twice and look up many discussions before you he releases TWoW, this way you can read it and understand much better.

[Malakhov]

Well so far leak matches lol

There will be some pissed off people tonight

 

[Tesseract]

i'm pretty happy with the episode, will post thoughts around 12 am or so, don't wanna ruin people's jimmies as i got to see it a bit early

but this

as a response to lord of the rings, it's pretty fucking fantastic lmao

 

[Achelexus]

ding dong the bitch is dead

 

[Malakhov]

Woot! Happy it was true.

 

[Dacon]

Game of thrones everyone!

Subverting expectations by doing EXACTLY what you expect.

 

[Onikaan]

Burst oot laughing, i won't lie.

 

[Dacon]

The scene of the dragon melting the throne and flying off with Dany. JFC this writing, ngl I laughed too.

 

[Kittehkraken]

Fucking Bran Muffins

THE NIGHTS WATCH, NOW AN ORPHANAGE

SMH

 

[gunslikewhoa]

just a wild dragon out roaming the countryside for a few centuries, i suppose

 

[JimiNutz]

I'm still hoping for some kind of big twist. So far episode has felt pretty safe and predictable.

 

[Onikaan]

just a wild dragon out roaming the countryside for a few centuries, i suppose

Fully expect him to return in a few years in hyper pissed mode and roast Kings landing Round 2.

 

[Dacon]

So I literally lost to my urge to throw something when Sam put the book on the table. I can't believe the nerve of these writers

 

[JORMBO]

Bronn...really??

 

[Tesseract]

Bronn...really??

 

[lock2k]

 

[isual]

leaks from 3 weeks ago were true.

i'm not pleased with the show's writing up to now, but it is what it is.

i'm more pleased about all these sjw's, feminists and hipsters getting btfo'd.

 

[Melon]

 

[CrankyJay™]

My only hope is GRRM disavows all this

 

[Kittehkraken]

First 30 or so minutes had good atmosphere in the ruins. About it.

I have zero expectations for any Game of Thrones spinoff. HBO can't write the good shit without Martin doing the heavy lifting.

 

[Dacon]

Oh look, some kids Dany forgot to burn.

 

[Cunth]

this episode sounds like a winner

 

[gunslikewhoa]

just a wild dragon out roaming the countryside for a few centuries, i suppose

NVM. Bran the Broken is on the case. He'll locate the dragon nobody can control except for some dumb bastard who's been banished to the wall.

 

[Malakhov]

Awesome season and a great end to one of the best series of all time.

Hats off!

 

[Jon Neu]

Lost ending > this fucking bullshit

 

[Musky_Cheese]

 

[JORMBO]

Good:
Jon pet Ghost
Bad:
Every other part

 

[Werewolf Jones]

For all the Dany fans.

 

[Tesseract]

 

[Jon Neu]

The only good thing was Brienne writing in the book about Jaime's feat. They got me there, something got in my eye for no reason.

And Jon reunion with Ghost.

Everything else was so atrociously bad is not even funny anymore.

 

[greyshark]

I enjoyed one final burn of Edmure.

I'm sad that Night Queen wasn't a thing
