I always thought, well at least the show will give us an ending since that bastard GRRM can't seem to finish the books. But this is a rushed ending with a lot of holes and obvious plot devices. I am a bit disappointed in it. Don't get me wrong, I'm still excited to watch the next two episodes and see it through, but it's not going to be as good as it could have been, and it is really making me long for a book ending even more than I already did because I know the book ending will be better...or at least more true to the spirit of the books and series up to this point.

I hope GRRM watches this season and it really lights a fire under his ass not to let D&D forever write the only ending to his epic masterpiece. Surely he's not satisfied with how this is playing out, he's a stickler for details and all the things people are pointing out have to be driving him crazy.

But look guys, we all know that D&D are not in the same class as GRRM. They are Hollywood all the way, and they are going to do a Hollywood ending, and they obviously had to rush it more than it deserved for a myriad of reasons. There's no point in being overly pissed about it, and it's not a surprise given there were only 13 episodes covering the last two seasons. I'm going to watch it and enjoy it for what we all know it is, and then I'm going to pray like crazy that GRRM gives us his own ending before it is too late.

This mentality actually helps me hate it a bit less.

I'm in. Just let whoever writes his bits take over the whole show and it'll be gold.

I like this a lot.

Jon hasn't changed. He still the brooding Forrest Gump of Westeros.

Hah yeah that’s true. He’s gonna’ need to stop kissing his woman’s ass and get her under control though. A little Robert Baratheon style “wear it in silence or I’ll honor you again.”

Just finished watching. The scorpions at KL seem easily destroyable with fire arrows. The episode sort of ends with a Dany bout to lose control and attack without her army feel.

I think they're doing a good job of keeping me guessing. Episode had a ton of direct "Jons the one stuff" along with a good amount of Dany is an emotional dumbass. Jon's dragon dying sort of seems like foreshadowing though so eh. Jaime, you dumbass lol

Ya I was entertained. That's all I care about. It won't ruin my day if the ending to the series sucks.

I don't know what that is. but it sounds ****ing reeruned

Please for the love of god tell me this is a troll or something. This can't be real. This is going to go down as possibly one of the most disappointing bits of television ever, if true.

Holy ****. D&D are absolutely clueless without GRRM.

The last two points on the right side were added later. Some are questioning them now that the betting odds have completely changed for who ends up on the Throne.

Idk. There's a forum I frequent that's literally re-writing a new script for Endgame. It's pretty... desperate, to say the least.

Game of Thrones Seasons 7-8
 

Bran being essentially useless and uninvolved is very frustrating. The way his character has been represents one the common themes that has bothered me, which is we keep thinking scenes, events, or dialogues are setting up for increasingly complex and interesting things to happen. But nothing seems to happen as a result of many scenes in the show.

A lot of scenes are just there or are only happening for the viewer to see something or we have to imagine great things without the show having to do the heavy lifting. Us imagining what might happen as a result of something between characters but don’t know for sure what it’s about is much more fun when we actually get some sort of payoff or result. Without it we are just left imagining and frustrated that something that seemed important in the moment actually turned out to be nothing.

Two that stick out in relation to Bran are his conversation with Tyrion and when he flew the ravens around the Night King. Both sort of just happened and apparently aren’t leading to anything. I don’t think that would have happened a few seasons ago.

I keep thinking of “what does this mean?” or “can’t wait to learn about that or see the result” but nothing happens and there just doesn’t seem to be any of that clever or intricate workings within the show.

I am still enjoying it but the things that had to happen to get to this point do require a bit too much convenience that we aren’t used to from this show. They take you out of the experience of watching which really contributes to your level of enthusiasm about it.
