Well, it basically contained every major point in the episode. I think it is what it is.

In a way, I'm back to where I was years ago - knowing what's going to happen because I read the books.

I feel like I'm better off having read the leaks. Knowing what's happening ahead of time has let me keep my expectations in check.

They ****ed everything up by cramming it all in 6 episodes. But honestly it’s looking like they didn’t have enough shit for two more seasons anyways.

Still a damn good show....but it’s ending on a disappointing note.

whenever you see a show have a bad ending, just remember Dexter. If it can get worse than that ending, then that's impressive.

not for HBO. Battle of winterfell was the highest rated show ever on HBO. Double the ratings of the Sopranos ending. In April HBO had the highest month ever for new subscribers.

Snow Globe ending in St Elsewhere takes the honor of shitting on its viewership

Can't get it to start on the time code. GoT bit starts about 2 minutes in.

That was actually the part of the episode I liked. Tyrions strategy was to starve out the people and make them turn on cersei. Danys strategy is to bullrush even if it means killing a lot of innocents. Even if dany wins, cersei forces dany to completely compromise herself to get there. Dany is falling directly into cerseis trap. Even if dany wins she loses. Psychological warfare seems right up cerseis alley.

Yeah, those 2 REALLY don't make sense.

Maybe the writers just know their limitations and know that they don't have the chops to write this out properly over a period of say 2 more seasons. As Dirty Harry said, a man's got to know his limitations...

In that light, I'm glad they are wrapping this up and not going all Walking Dead and stringing us along with absolute bullshit for 3 more seasons or something. Maybe they don't want the show to go on when the only reason people like it is because of what it once was, not what it's become, because of their lack of creativity in writing it.

HBO is happy to spend money and make a bad ass battle that pretty much lasts an entire episode, so money is not the problem. These guys are just not good enough to write this out and end it well. It's baffling, and a little sad, but at least they know their limitations.

That's what I'm going with anyway...

All I know is you jackasses made the episode worse coming here afterwards.

ChiefsPlanet. Where we bitch about Game of Thrones.

And bitch about people who bitch about Game of Thrones.

And bitch about the people who bitch about the people who bitch about Game of Thrones.

I am sensing a commonality here..... :D

Ratings of Episode 4 are now at 7.0 on IMDb. Again, the previous low for the entire series was 8.4.

It's funny to me because I hated Episode 3 much more than Episode 4. I'm just resigned to the shitty plot at this point and ready to see it end, so I guess my level of investment has waned a bit.

Quit whinging.

This is familiar. Sopranos was fantastic until the last half season. I have rewatched Sopranos 6-7 times, and I’ve only watched the final 1/2 season once. It was very disappointing. If the ending of GOT ends up sucking I will pretend it doesn’t even exist.
