Game of Thrones

What an absolute bucket of shite. I mean for fuck sake. Could they have made a bigger mess of this whole final series. Dogshite

[toneata]

That was about as unfulfilling as it gets, they've had years to prepare this ending and they're royally fucking it up.

I thought last nights episode was superb..Cersei really is evil

daenerys *Hold my beer*

[Balinkay]

I think they hit the right beats, but the connective tissue and the filler were waay below the level I'd want.

Another incredibly disappointing episode. Just slightly less disappointing than the last couple.

There was so much 'filler', namely the City being burnt to the ground and the citizens of Kings landing running about trying to find somewhere to hide to avoid being burnt, crushed, or hacked to pieces. There were a number of characters whose demise was poorly handled, such as Varys (the one person who actually was trying/doing his best to protect the realm as well as the innocent) who was simply burnt to a crisp without so much as a little parting conversation between her and 'the mad one', whilst the Hound's final battle with his brother wasn't as epic and impactful as it should have been.

What was the point of Arya going to Kings Landing? Just like a few other main character actions of late, there was absolutely zero purpose to what she did. There were so many possibilities, including things such as using her 'faceless men' training to get to Cersei, but no, the writers just decided to have her walk/run around a lot, do nothing but possibly to hinder those she feebly tried to save, and stumble across a horse (which may or may not be the one she previously had - some are even saying it might be Jaqen H'ghar), which has somehow managed not to become a snack for Drogon.

As for Jaime, don't get me started. If he flip flops any more he'll be know as 'Jaime the (S)Andal', rather than "The Kingslayer".

I think lots of people are now desperate for the final episode in order to get things over and done with. It's a pity, as I watch re-runs of earlier episodes and it's sad that a show that was brilliant has jumped numerous sharks in succession and as a result it will taint the legacy of something that could have gone down as one the best shows (as a whole) of all time.

I hope the spin off's are handled better than these last few episodes have been. If it's the same two writers at the helm I'm not sure I'll even bother watching.

What was the point of Arya going to Kings Landing?

Presumably given the way the writing of the show is going there's a possibility she'll do Daenerys in.

Though Jaime's arc went off-course so he came "full circle" back to Cersei - so if they're doing more "full circle" stuff and Daenerys has "Mad Queen'd" then they'll need a "Queenslayer" - and they have the whole star-crossed lovers thing, so Jon might end up doing it?

God knows at this point.

Such a waste.

I think Ayra went so the hound could make her see not to turn out like him.. Bitter twisted and resentful and always wanting revenge

[Nineteenx]

No spoilers from me, but having watched it from start to finish, I've been incredibly disappointed with the last 2 seasons and brilliant as it was to a point, it ended up being rushed to a highly unsatisfactory conclusion

[RedNoodle]

That was a s**t-show of an ending to a clusterf**k of a final season.

In the space of one season (some might say two) they've basically destroyed everything that made GOT great in it's first few seasons.

In my opinion this final season is seriously going to harm sales of GOT box-sets.

typical of many series, I'm sorry to say

[eggy81]

That was such a let down. Awful series.

[Nineteenx]

Just watched it again, seems to have set the scene for potential future spin offs, not a fan of how it ended or how rushed the last 2 seasons were, not posting any further thoughts on it until I'm sure everyone's now watched it

[justme]

I thought it was decent enough.. It was a great series over all. But like most acclaimed shows. They struggle to find away to end it. Its like the walking dead.Prior to the negan stpry. It was an awesome show..The biggest issue with the walking dead. There is no way out.Even the writers said they wont be a cure found. How many times can you find enemies to kill and how many times can you lose main characters?. They went to the well once to many times with that series.

I loved the game of thrones,Just a small quandary the writers were showing us for 7 seasons about the mysticism of night walkers
the many faces men. The lord of the light etc..Yet in the final season it didn't really mention anything in that sense. It was just human beings fighting for right and wrong.
I kinda get the night king. He was created by the children of the forest to fight against the invaders.And when winter came he became much stronger. Like a thousand years before.when a similar thing occurred. Bran had insight to be able to stop the night king from killing everyone. So I understood that part of the series. Even though comments online suggested Bran was in someway the Night King himself.

[justme]

And I also agree it was rushed.. They hardly showed Cersei in the final season until near the end. Maybe they could have had her fight with Jon and Dany against the Night lKing. Then turn her back on Snow and Daenerys. Instead of putting her to end to be the final battle. She seemed a bit out of place for most of the final season.

Watching Thronecast right now and they're talking bollocks and omitting a major part in the title plot 'Game of Thrones' into how the end game played out and why
