I think the direwolves just ended up not mattering at all because only Bran is a warg in the show. But there's a couple pivotal scenes in the first few seasons that involve the direwolves so you can't just cut them.

I still can't believe how fast this show fell from pop culture. I realize we are in the information age of entertainment, but Jesus Christ this show went from "the biggest TV show ever" to a distant memory.

I think it’s because something can only really survive so long as people are recommending it. Lots of people when lockdown started were like “now is a great time to rediscover the Wire” or whatever. Can you recommend this show to anyone in good conscience?

Why the gently caress is Bronze Yohn Royce still alive? Almost every character had multiple shots of them being surrounded/swamped by zombies but in the next scene they're alive and well. Even the Battle of the Bastards wasn't this awful.

Or "BEND THE KNEE" Or countless "I've got a cock and you don't" jokes between Tyrion and Varys! Or Cersei's only lines from the last season, "(sipping sounds)". Or "I know a killer when I see one." (standing amidst the wreckage of a million people that Daenerys literally just killed.)

Sansa not telling him about the Knights of the Vale is stupid, but you could bash it into place by saying she didn't quite trust Jon yet. Battle of Winterfell is just characters making incredibly basic errors over and over again. Like, wouldn't it be way cooler if they had the Dothraki wheeling around firing dragonglass arrows out of range of the army of the dead, and having trebuchets and catapults behind the walls firing constantly, and having blazing trenches funneling the wights into the infantry, and just in general having Jon and Dany do everything right and having it still not matter?

The show was never going to have a satisfying final season since on a basic structural level there wasn't enough time left to deal with the white walkers and on top of that they needed to resolve danaerys' storyline as well. You can't have 68 episodes of slowly building threat and have it defeated in 3-6 episodes without it feeling like a wet fart even with good writers. Really the wall needed to fall and have the invasion proper start by the end of season 6 at the absolute latest and when it didn't I knew the show was in trouble. Having said that they also went about the final season with the stupidest possible decisions, especially they got dany / cersei and the white walkers the wrong way round. Dany should have attacked king's landing first, preferably with gradually escalating disregard to civilian collateral damage until she's just outright burning down fortified towns on her way to king's landing and then there's actual conflict as the others can see she's a monster but still need her against the white walkers. Still gonna feel rushed whatever you do though.

HBO would've let them have as many seasons as they wanted and not only did they not do that but they also cut the episode length per season down.

Yup, that's all the motivation we need. He just hates foreigners oh so much that he would turn a blind eye to the whole family he serves getting the gently caress blown up. Next scene!

LMAO you could just tell that some writer thought of that years ago and they forgot to put it in until the last episode. I hated how inconsistent Varys became. "Robert's main problem was that he didn't want to rule" vs "Have you ever considered the best candidate is the one who does not want to rule?" only a season later. lezard_valeth posted:I love how D&D thought they were properly setting up papa Tarly betraying the Tyrell's a season earlier by having him go " Not to mention that Tarly fought for the Targaryens during Robert's Rebellion. Groovelord Neato posted:I feel stupid now but I was really looking forward to how politically interesting the aftermath to Cersei blowing up the sept would be and then uhh there were no consequences for it whatsoever. This is going to sound very  but the fact that very important seats/lordships remain vacant bugged the hell out of me. There's a new Dornish prince at the 'great' council at the end and they wouldn't even bother naming him.

It's no wonder that DnD lost their follow-up slavery fanfic show, as well as their Star Wars deal. It does suck that they got a big-money Netflix deal instead, but then again Netflix isn't exactly shy about canceling stuff if it doesn't do great for them, and I can't imagine anyone is eagerly anticipating the next thing to come from the guys that tanked GoT.

"Robert's main problem was that he didn't want to rule" vs "Have you ever considered the best candidate is the one who does not want to rule?" only a season later. Not quite the same thing. Varys meant that a competent leader drafted into being king would work out as that leader wouldn't have ambition to cloud his judgement. This is different than Robert who didn't have the desire to be king or enough of a sense of responsibility to see to his duties anyway.

Vichan posted:Almost everyone appearing alive after the Winterfell battle was absolutely ludicrous. Why the gently caress is Bronze Yohn Royce still alive? I watched a Youtube video that highlighted how many times this happened. Brienne or some other main character gets swarmed by five or six wights, just covered in over a thousand pounds of rotting zombie, then someone comes to save them, whacks a single zombie with their sword, and Brienne gets up just fine. Just sloppy, sloppy writing, trying to milk that same amateurish "suspense" scene over and over. massive spider posted:I think it’s because something can only really survive so long as people are recommending it. Lots of people when lockdown started were like “now is a great time to rediscover the Wire” or whatever. gently caress no. I think I said this before, but GoT is unique in that the early seasons seemed REALLY good, but a lot of it was because they were introducing characters and setting up these interesting mysteries and conflicts that the show would revolve around, and so the terrible later seasons retroactively ruined the earlier seasons, because not even a single plot thread or character arc has a satisfying resolution. Like, The Office had some terrible seasons toward the end too, but that doesn't stop you from wholeheartedly telling people to watch the Michael Scott years because they're still hilarious. Dexter turned to poo poo, but the whole series wasn't leading up to finally showing us the ultimate fate of Dexter Morgan, so you can still watch the first few seasons as a fun little adventure show and not worry too much about what comes later. Anyone who hasn't seen GoT by now has been warned to stay far away, and most of us that DID watch it are sorry we did.

Still gonna feel rushed whatever you do though. Yeah. Given that we know now that this story's climax revolves around an irreconcilable conflict between Jon Snow and Daenerys Targaryen, then they should have probably met each other sometime before the 7th season. Most great television series have fully completed their runs before this series introduces the two main characters to each other. Complete insanity. And this is after the series handwaved away some of the difficulties in meeting. It's not going to be anywhere near coherent in the books.
