Yeah it's not just reddit/SA/etc, a lot of people are disappointed with how this season has gone down. There was no way to satisfy every one but they've done a good job of burning a lot of good will.

This is probably the reason D&D have been spending the past year saying the ending won't please everyone. It's not a statement about where the story goes but preempting criticism about the quality.

She'll be the queen afterwards, you dolt. She won't need to parley with her vassals, she'll summon them to the throne if she wants to talk to them.

You didn't "read" the rest because even you can't think up reasons why it's not terrible writing. It's fine if you personally enjoy lovely writing, but your attempts to convince people it's actually good are laughable.

Yeah I’ve been looking around for another medieval feeling show, either period piece or fantasy, and I haven’t been able to find anything compelling except the monk detective show from the 1990s, Cadfael. I even tried watching that Kit Harrington gunpowder plot thing for general period piece vibes and couldn’t get through it

Last Kingdom frustrated me because I despised Uhtred by the third season, but Wolf Hall looks good. Vikings I’ve wanted to watch but can’t find the Swedish original version anywhere

Black Sails is new to me and looks like Frontier which was good...enough so I’ll check it out, thanks

Black Sails starts a bit slow but grows a lot; Vikings is probably the opposite. If you haven't liked The Last Kingdom you'll probably dislike Vikings as well, cause Uthred is kinda Ragnar 2.0.

Black Sails is only 4 seasons long and has managed to scratch the period piece+intrigue+pulp hitch I had.

like eight years ago there were all these shows that people described as the platinum era of television and talked about things like we were entering some kind of cinematic renaissance. since then all of those shows became/have become baffling ordeals with like, a barely coherent sense of their own narrative and characterization. TWD, Dexter, Game of Thrones, uh, I'm sure there are some other examples but those are three of the inexcusable ones. it happened really early too, i stopped watching TWD at the end of season 3 because the gunfight was just too much (I was surprised to discover it was lifted straight from the comics when I read them this year) and recently tried to watch the fourth season. i had to fast forward through huge parts of it because like 70% of the show is inconsequential dialogue in too-dark rooms, 20% is walking in the woods, and 10% is extremely implausible action (which were the only parts really worth watching). how did all of these shows go so bad so quickly after making so much money?

i guess Breaking Bad ended well at least

cool, thanks. i actually really like anything set in an underrepresented historical period, since most historical drama is predictably generic and eurocentric. unfortunately usually that means authenticity (nevermind accuracy which is less important) kinda goes out the window, what i really want is a show that treats a non-european setting with the kind of seriousness european medieval dramas often get. but pirates and fur traders are an acceptable substitute

Be advised, Black Sails mixes real and fake characters in its story, but the story itself is "realistic" even when dealing with imaginary characters.

It’s important to remember that the disappointment of the fourth book turned a bunch of people into internet hate-wraiths who actively told more people to read the books, slowly pushing them towards the same hopeless wrath that they felt during hundreds of pages about darkstar and Doran. Now that the show is insanely popular, GRRM actually found a way to spread this sickness into the real world by manipulating the low iq D&D into botching their own show, infecting everyone from blue checkmarks on twitter to the nice old lady at your office. He won’t finish the books and when he dies the true long night will descend upon us, the death of pop culture.

We were the wights all along and GRRM is the night king. And there’s no Arya to save us.

I have heard good things about Kingdom on Netflix, though I haven't watched it yet. It's medieval Korea + politics + zombies, so it seems like it might scratch a Game of Thrones itch.

Black Sails is absolute trash (outside a handful of scenes) and nobody should ever watch it


e: loving land pirates barely ever leave Nassau.

One or two seasons into Black Sails they realized their machiavellian main guy was a completely unlikeable, backstabbing, friend murdering, crew killing piece of poo poo lying murderer and they try to clumsily, hamfistedly jam in this motivation that is absolutely laugh out loud pathetic

I wouldn't say it's a perfect show, but this feels kinda excessive :v: Also Flint is as much the hero as Daenerys is, imo.

It's a Starz series, it's kinda like Spartacus in the Caribbean with a bit more character development and less fake blood squibs. I liked it better than Frontier - that was mentioned by the OP - and they are kinda similar in several ways.
