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

Well, that was pretty much all of them. The only difference is that chapters about Jon, Arya and Tyrion were backed up by interesting characters.

IIRC, since it's been eight ****ing years since I read the last book (**** you Martin), book Sansa is still in the Eyrie, and all the shit that happened to her in Winterfell is happening to a minor character who has been passed off by the Boltons as Arya. Sansa is still just a weepy, whiny do-nothing.

Ned should have spared the direwolf and killed her.

This.

Every character gave us pages of descriptions of food, clothing, armor, room decorations. On and on. Like Southpark's portrayal of GRRM as penis fixated, dude goes on some serious tangents.

At least I think he did. I was a much younger man the last time he put out a new book in the series.

This might be unpopular, but I think he's a pretty hack writer.

The Dune comparisons should be even more apparent if Season 8 was as faithful as could be to his outline.

Well, Martin did flat out steal Duke Leto and rebrand him as Ned Stark.

As far as the books go, though, Dune started going downhill immediately, whereas Martin's books stayed consistent through the third one (the fourth and fifth dropped off quite a bit). The Dune books got so ****ing weird that they became unreadable - turning the hero into some whacked out religious Hitler was probably not the best direction to take the series. I tried off and on, without success, to get through God Emperor of Dune for 30 years before I finally just gave up. Frank Herbert was the M. Night Shyamalan of science fiction - he wrote one of the greatest masterpieces of all time and then slowly coasted into the shitter.

I did enjoy the follow-up books set in the Dune universe written by Herbert's son, though.

Those books by his kid and Kevin J. Anderson were some of the worst books I've ever read. They're immeasurably worse than Lynch's movie. Just god awful.

The first 3 Dune books are pretty great, although nothing matches up with the first one. They get progressively more difficult to digest after that. I agree with you on God Emperor. It was one of my first real "wtf is this shit" experiences as a teen. Although I haven't tried in at least ten years, so my perspective may be different now.
