Game of Thrones Seasons 7-8
About to hit the 5000 post mark on the old thread, the first season 7 trailer today seems like the right time to start the final Game of Thones thread.
I'm going back to the original rules pre-2015. I don't think we need supervision or bannings. Just don't be a dick. Post anything you find online that hasn't aired yet inside of spoiler tags. That's pretty much it. I think we can all handle that... For future us, 2015 thread is here: Link Last edited by keg in kc; 06-21-2017 at 10:48 AM.. |

They got the Star Wars trilogy. Thats why we didn't get a season 9 to help flush out the stories of season 7/8. They wanted out.

I'm sure the actors were happy to end it. Ten years would be a very, very long time to play one role.

I will say though, that if you don’t think the ending is a GRRM type unfolding of events, I don’t know what to tell you. |

Just came to post this.
A: "She forgot about the Iron fleet?" B: "Yes, she forgot about them and they killed a dragon." A: "Oh, so did she destroy the fleet with the other dragon?" B: "No. A dragon is no match for that many ships." B: "In the next scene, she destroys the fleet in only a few minutes with the dragon." A: "Wait a minute, you just said that wasn't possible." B: "I forgot." ![]() |

A: "It's going to be tough for the main characters to live through an attack like that."
B: "Actually, it's going to be super easy. Barely an inconvenience. Any time an important character gets swarmed, we're going to cut away from them and come back later to see that they're fine." A: "Wait, so how do they survive?" B: "By being off screen for a little bit." A: "I guess that makes sense." |

I agree. If not, they soon would be. Especially the cast and crew. And does anybody really want to see 55 year old Jaimie lannister swinging a sword? They probably had another season or 2 in them. But there's certainly a point where this could become enough of a chore for everyone that it sucks the energy out. It may have ended too soon but there are lots of big issues with ending it too late.

Which is what she did, and she adjusted her tactics. I mean it was still hogshit and took me out of it, but it's not as out of line as the internet would like everyone to believe. |

That is to say, I don't have much of a problem with the places where the people ended up, in theory. Where they are at the end could well be where GRRM leads them. The show just did a completely shit job getting them there... GRRM likely will not. Assuming he does at all. |

Call it demonizing them if you want but I think it's fairly obvious looking back at seasons 5 through 8 than Dan and Dave just weren't up to the task of putting this show together without a blueprint provided by the books. They had some good individual moments and a few really good episodes that managed to make the sum look like more than the individual parts but all together the show's been on a downward slide for years, and it finally hit bottom on Sunday.
I actually can't wait to see the prequel series that's likely coming next year, with Martin executive producing. |
