Game of Thrones final season [spoilers]
RE: Game of Thrones final season [spoilers]
Quote:Well, they done fucked it up.
I disagree


Quote:I don't think anyone could say I haven't been hopeful about this season and giving it a chance: My initial reactions to all S8 episodes up until know has been favorable (yes I nitpick after the fact but I still enjoyed the episodes in the moment), but now they're just fucking it all up.
Again I disagree 


Quote:Dany descends into madness and comes up with a justification for herself for taking her revenge on the world.  She's doing it for future generations' security and prosperity, but in the meantime becomes a tyrant herself.  In a way, if you look at the whole series as a Shakespearean tragedy, her final descent makes sense but ugh...
So it makes sense 


Quote:Jon is the rightful king of the 7 kingdoms.  Which means he's going to die now.
Will never happened . What I do hope happens is Jon engages dany in a dragon duel and kills her. Proving he's the true dragon .


Quote:I'm glad Arya turned back and fled the city.  Her last interaction with the Hound was sort of sweet and her acknowledging him and all that he's done for her over the years was a nice close to their relationship.  Maybe the only good end to a relationship we'll get on the show.
What about Same and Gilly ?


Quote:The Hound confronting his brother was... okay.  It was beautifully shot but the fight itself was underwhelming.  I wanted Sandor to grind Gregor's face into hot coals in a "who does it feel, mofo?!?!" kind of way but nope.
They both plummeted into a blazing inferno what more do you want ?


Quote:Jaime fighting Euron was silly. 

Well theons dead so who else was it going to be ?



Quote: But also, Jaime was stabbed pretty good at least twice but runs around the castle with Cersei looking for an escape and looks fine?

Fine?


Quote:WTF?  The whole dying-by-cave-in was hugely disappointing especially since Cersei never acknowledged any of her delusions (Re: Tyrion, her role in Tommen's death, etc.).  

Why would she ? I'm happy she didn't get any kind of redemption .


Quote:I at least thought that we'd get the satisfaction of her watching Jaime die right in the front of her and her being completely abandoned but nope.
They both get buried in burning ruins (kind of like what Cersi did to the sept of balor )Kind of fitting her death isn't dramatic .


Quote:And what about Bran?

He's in the north 


Quote:Why is he still alive?

Why should he die ? Why do we want him to die ?


Quote:He had little role in the battle of Winterfell,

What was he suppose to do ?


Quote:now he's just left behind while everyone else marches south for the next big battle...

And he would be useful why ?


Quote:I feel like if he's still alive that it's for a reason and there will be another big revelation in the next episode but with the number of dropped threads and loose ends left twisting in the wind in the last three episodes I'm left wondering if they're even going to do anything with Bran in the last episode
For example ?


Quote:I feel like the lesson of these last few episodes is, at least in part, that GRRM may be making the point that not everyone gets their "storybook ending" be that ending a good one or the satisfying end fans want.  

Like what ?


Quote:Some bad people never do get their comeuppance and die in thematically or story-telling-wise trivial ways.

 Who ? Cersi gets crushed under a building ,Euron gets impaled , The Mountain falls into inferno ,  What more do you want ?


Quote:And while that's an interesting take on the end of a series (if that's even what GRRM intends) it's a huge disappointment and leaves a bad taste in fans' mouths. 

Please speak for yourself 


Quote: There doesn't have to be a perfect ending to every character or story or whatever, but leaving so many threads untied

Like?


Quote:and having so many characters' deaths be trivial or unsatisfying leaves fans unhappy with a series that so many people have loved.
 See above . I can't think of one 


Quote: I don't know how much "blame" to lay at GRRM's feet or David and Dan who may have known the ultimate ending of the show as GRRM intended but were left to make their own way to that point, but they're not doing a good job.
I disagree
Quote:Optimism is fading and disappointment is firmly settling in on me.
Oh well

Did Bran do his weird warg thing and show up as a horse for her to ride to safely.

Damnit...I need to know.

And...I agree that Cersei's death would have been more satisfying if Arya had done it or maybe she was deep fried to a crackly crunch like she did to all those people a few years ago.


I kept wondering just how long that damn dragon could spit fire.  I will probably watch it again but with a lot of use of fast forward to move past all the fire spewing.


There's little chance they can save the show with just one episode left.  FACK!
1.Maybe it wasn't in the city 

2.Maybe 

3.Why would being stabbed really be more satisfying then being buried 

4.True 

5.I don't think it needs to be saved myself

Quote:I'm just so glad that casual viewers have recognized how shitty this show has gotten. I've hated it since Season 5 (yet couldn't look away due to my attachment to the story), so I'm happy everybody knows how badly Benioff and Weiss have butchered this narrative and these characters.
I disagree 


Quote:Can't wait for the true, fleshed out version that George RR Martin will (hopefully) get to release. Then mayhaps I'll be proud of my username again. You can tell there is a legitimately great story and satisfying character development hiding under all the bullshit.
Which I though shone through 


Quote:On a different note: Daenerys Targaryen is the perfect example of why you don't a fictional character before their story is finished.
To be fair people get tattoos of villains anyway

My review 

1. I really the bro moment between Tyrion and Jamie their scenes are always good 

2. Sad Vary's is dead but his back stabbing was always going to get him in the end 

3. The battle was good . People whine about the golden company . But they have not fought dragons in forever so their loss makes sense . And the scene were they enter was bad ass .
4. The city sacking scene was hard to watch . Brutal   Huh

5. Dany going nuts was predictable but makes sense 

6. Jon has to kill try and kill another girlfriend (poor Jon)

7. The Hound vs the Mountain was good . I like when the mountain kills Qyburn all Frankenstein monster turns on it's maker   . The duel ended poetic . Taste fire bitch !!!!

8. The Hound and Arya were cute Great

9. Euron died by impaling ... Nice Great

10 . And dear Cersei gets crushed under burning ruins hopefully to be alive for a little bit in agony 

All in all i'm happy
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
