Re: Gendry getting tired from swinging his hammer... he’s a blacksmith and has been doing that daily for several years. He probably has better stamina than anyone else out there.

I'm sorry you missed the part where I said it was a GREAT hammer not some dinky blacksmith hammer. Also when every swing is to preserve your own life you tend to put everything into it. Also they fought for hours. Just stop. I'd conceivably believe the ones with swords would have lasted longer simply because the fact they are lighter than a huge chunk of rock attached to a stick.

And you know the prophecies setting up Jon as being Azor Ahai? It was never confirmed, so you could conceivably say that it was Arya all along. Except in the post-show breakdown with D&D, they basically said that they did it because they thought it would be fun.
It's just bullshit lazy writing. I had hoped the show would help me feel a sense of closure since it seems like GRRM never will finish the books. Instead, I kind of feel cheated that we're being fed this half-assed, predictable version of GOT that doesn't even feel like the books anymore.
Bleh. I'll stop ranting. I'm just really irritated at the fact that they're just going to end this thing and not even bother being true to some of the things that made the story great in the first place.

All of this.
