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.. |

Gotta disagree on Littlefinger. Loved his ending; that was one of the few bright spots of Season 8. That ****er definitely got what was coming to him.

Varys, the master of whisperers, asking Jon “HEY DUDE WANNA COMMIT TREASON” and then having Tyrion turn him in, only to have Tyrion in the same episode ask Jaime “HEY BRO WANNA COMMIT TREASON” was one of those rushed storytelling decisions that could have been handled in such a better way had they had 10 episodes. Season 6 had issues for sure, but 10 episodes made the Hodor reveal, Battle of the Bastards, and Winds of Winter land beautifully. Last edited by Chiefspants; 04-18-2021 at 08:33 PM.. |

Same thing with Varys, but his ending was way worse. |

At least Littlefinger had a resolution.
Didn't anybody wonder what happened to the Freys? I mean, the northern army would have had to pass through the Twins on the way to King's Landing. Jon: Hey, the Twins are deserted. Dany: So what? Let's move on. Arya: Giggles quietly, but nobody asks her why. |

Makes about as much sense as the Night King keeping giant chains lying around; you know, just in case he has to have his minions pull a dead dragon out of a frozen lake. **** Season 8. |

I don't want to keep defending it, but it's possible that the Night King can see the future. If so, he'd have known he'd need chains at that point.

All I've gathered from this thread being bumped is that there are a ton of us out there with unresolved issues towards Game of Thrones, specifically the last season.

A reveal like that in S8 could have justified the chains, him waiting behind the wall until he was gifted a Dragon... all of it. Damn I just really want to know what the spiral meant, too.

A blast from the past.
So the red witch in the early episodes who was using blood magic. She could see the future but it didn't turn out like she thought it was going to. Isn't that how it usually goes? I remember at the end of GoT that there were a lot story lines that I could have suggested endings that I would have liked a lot better. And the last few episodes didn't need to be one expensive CGI battle after another. They had a hooked audience. They could have finished out some plot lines fairly cheaply with more episodes shot indoors. For instance, after all her training, trial, and tribulations. Couldn't Ayra have made it to the Red Landing and assassinated somebody? Cerci maybe? |
