When people are complaining about the writing, it's little things like that that could have gone a HUGE distance toward making it better. |
Yeah, it's stuff like this that makes me think this could have been wrapped up in a satisfactory way in 75 hours. I understand the thought D&D had, but it just felt like Season 7 and Season 8 were ultimately rough drafts to an incredible idea still in the broad strokes of development.
In a vacuum - last night's episode impacted me more than an episode of thrones has since
The Red Wedding and I have to acknowledge D&D for that. Not many shows can do that. Even Breaking Bad pulled its punches when giving deaths to the main characters, opting not to kill Skyler despite planning to do it on multiple occasions.
