Funny how these motives can fall out of the sky.

It almost feels like these recap episodes you sometimes have in comedy shows when they meet and tell each other stories about past episodes 

Varis has always served 'the realm' though...

you smartly put those ''s there.

fing hell. how do spoilers work nowadays!?

Yeah this! it’s like someone  is trying to recreate game of thrones without really knowing the details - which it essentially is. There is also a lot of everyone just sitting around with nothing really happening.

brienne crying made me a bit cry as well but for unrelated reasons. She was completely out of character this episode

To be fair: It was quite an out of character experience for her.

i thought George RR Martin was opposed to fanfiction?

In season 8 the sex scenes became awkward and out of character. Definitely an achievement I'd thought impossible for GOT!

Those dragons sure are rubbish aren't they.

Damn basterd flew straight into that arrow! Stupid dragon.

Two more episodes to go. Please just shoot me!

Only two more?

Kinda hard to not feel forced with such a limited amount of time left.

How the fuck did dragons ever conquer the continent if they were this useless? 

I'm a bit surprised that no one here's mentioned that the major plot points of the next two episodes have already been leaked

It was so underwhelming too. Blissful dragons flying in the sky moment - then wham, one of them gets hit with an arrow from out of nowhere.

Turns out Daenerys and her dragons need glasses.

Yeah someone mentioned on reddit I think, wtf happened to sending out scouts? That's the kind of standard military detail that GRRM would no more forget than breathing.

I think we can all agree that they spent a lot of money, time and resources on filming this season and therefore it must have value. I wish they had time to do a second draft of the script before filming, but I guess that sort of stuff doesn't really matter in the end.

Oh no I'm doing that thing where I'm posting random brainfarts on watmm instead of doing something more enjoyable with my life. Bye guys, see you in a couple of months 

A sound concept executed poorly. Yes the dragon bit was stupid, wouldn't it have flown directly up to escape or something? Not just continue. 

Gocab:)

well now....

wew

looks nice and all, but oh boy, has the writing on this show gone to shit the last couple of seasons and especially this season. ever since they got to the end of the books and D&D took the reins it's been awful. and if the spoilers that have leaked are correct (which they've been so far), the finale is going to be stupid and bad. glad this is over.

I like that the unfiltered hell the commoners experience was highlighted, at length and in the face of those leading the battle. Massacres of tens of thousands, wanton rape, shameless pillaging, and literal death from above over what amounts some royal incestuous squabbling, I owe u's, and pinky swears between literally a couple dozen individuals. As much as I did enjoy the supernatural aspect of GoT, this part is what I always think is most relevant. The tragedy of history being lead and decided by individuals arbitrarily placed in vast power or shit the average person doesn't care about. The free cities of Essos make a lot more sense after seeing this shit. So does the end of monarchies after the industrial revolution and WW1. Like, the people establishing some inperfect parlimentary system and Dorne becoming the new California seems way more reasonable.

I started finally watching the show a few weeks ago. Got up to season 4, but I've lost interest seeing as 1% of the internet likes the new season. I can't imagine what it's like to watch from season 1 or 2 to be rewarded with the writers throwing out the themes and arcs nearly every character had for 7 seasons. 

Looking at it in a big picture way it they had so many things to wrap up and 6 episodes isn't nearly long enough.

i don't think it's as bad as all that.  i haven't read the books but apparently some of these character arcs are more in line w/the books. i agree 6 episodes seems not enough. still a good show imo. fun but also they sorta did some mass market holly wood type shit this season.. not to mention a few 'captain obvious' lazy things.  but killing lot's of stuff seems in line w/the author MO. 

Yeah I read somewhere that GRRM wanted 10 seasons to do it justice but it seems DB & DW are bored and over GoT and want it DONE asap. Seems that's why GRRM has had nothing to do with it for seasons 7 & 8, washed his hands of it.
