Easily the best episode since season 4. Of course, the show has been complete poo poo since season 4.

The point of the Saving Private Ryan scene wasn't to establish that the attacking army was an unstoppable force of nature that could not possibly be defeated absent supernatural intervention. Watching the army of the dead loving evaporate the best offensive army in the world and then roll over the best defensive army like it was nothing did just that, though.

The whole delegation getting wiped out by arrows and bolts would have been a fitting capstone to the "Tyrion is a loving moron" storyline.

You see, the problem is that not enough women in real life are sexually assaulted. Because, as I've learned from HBO's Game of Thrones, that's the only way women only develop and grow into leaders. If only we had more sexual assault, we'd have more women with the necessary character to write or direct episodes of HBO's Game of Thrones.

Imagine if they'd ditched pointless poo poo like Dorne, Sansa-Ramsay, Stannis post-Blackwater, and the FOOKING LEGEND OF GIN ALLEY and instead spent those hours on things that actually mattered, like the loving horde of ice demons and zombies coming to end humanity? They could have even spent some of that time setting up Dany's incoming heel turn beyond being her too mean to some slavers (which only seemed like a bad thing to crypto-confederate Lost Causers and was undermined by the subsequent Mereen narrative anyway).

Darkrenown posted:But the ice demons and zombies ultimately didn't matter, they only got as far south as Winterfell, failed to kill any of the important characters, and all just exploded when the NK got shanked out of nowhere (by no one). The ice demons and zombies might have done more if the showrunners had set aside more than three hours for them over 8 seasons.

Frog Act posted: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 I just started The Kingdom on Netflix. I'm just 2 episodes in, but it seems pretty cool and has some of the same themes as GoT.

bobjr posted:D&D were the ones who said she was a strong woman making a choice when it happened, which was very weird at the time Remember back when Jaime held Cersei down and forcibly penetrated her while she begged him to stop, and D&D said it wasn't rape? Good times. The sad thing is, D&D really didn't think it was rape. You can tell because they didn't use it as a character development device for either the victim or a male bystander.

lol that was so much worse than I'd imagined. Absute hilarity. I can only assume the Lynchian dream horse at the end was supposed to tip off the viewer that Arya was knocked out by that guard when she and the Hound tried to get past the Team Dany line and everything in the episode after that was just her hallucinating.

The Red Wedding should've been Robb Stark personally butchering his pregnant wife and a bunch of orphans who happened to be outside begging for scraps. It was plainly set up: He killed the karstark guy and he was psychotic enough to start a war that he knew would kill thousands for mere family reasons. Then the dessert course is late and he snaps. It's like poetry, it rhymes.

Agent Burt Macklin posted:Yeah I kind of added to my response - they just didn't have enough time to do it properly so they had to make it a huge dramatic event like that. Maybe they could've cut a few of the seemingly endless hours they devoted to ultimately pointless poo poo like Dorne, post-Blackwater Stannis, and The Fooking Legend of Gin Alley. It wouldn't have even taken that much time to make the heel turn palatable. There are lots of ways they could've made BBQing random townies expedient (not necessary, which would let her of the hook) to winning the battle. There are also lots of ways they could've shown the townies rejecting her or, better yet, rejecting her in favor of Jon. But they did neither. They had her decide that burning fleabottom wasn't just a great idea, but such a great idea that she ignored the Red Keep until she'd killed most of the poors, giving Cersei time to escape or gin up some hail mary plan (or, you know, take a few more sips of the ol' Arbor red while gazing out the window). Even to me, who was fine with ep 3 and never expected s8 to be anything other than 6 hours of spectacle and fanservice, that big moment was so in-your-face stupid that I had trouble kicking back and enjoying the cgi. Too busy laughing and feeling bad for Lena Headey. Hell, Dany looking directly into the camera and saying "Oh no, my period!" a la Jenna Maroney would've been better than what we got.

The fundamental idea-"sure we have Cersei at our mercy right now, but let's bring a zombie to KL instead. Cersei will see the light, totally help us out, and not at all try to stab us in the back or use the time to strengthen her position"-seems pretty nuts. Tyrion's season 6-8 actions have been so consistently stupid that it would almost make more sense if he was actively working as a double agent for Cersei. I dunno, maybe he was underwater long enough during the stone men encounter to suffer serious brain damage and nobody noticed?

Groovelord Neato posted:i get it for the general viewing audience but these are the people whose job is reviewing the show. It's gotta be tricky to review shows like GoT, where every episode is basically one part of a 73-hour movie. Sure the Ramsay stuff seems like tortureporn, Mereen seems like a pointless mess, ZombieQuest seems asinine, etc. But maybe there's a payoff coming. As we've gotten close to the end, however, it's become increasingly clear that the payoff is gonna be faaaaaaaaaaaaart.

If you're being legalistic like that, I don't think it does. Gendry is only legitimate if Dany is the legitimate queen, but if she's the legitimate queen that means Robert's children don't have a claim (except an indirect one as distant Targ relations). Jon's different because he's a Targ with a superior claim. If Dany's crown is legitimate, he should actually be the king.
