Game of Thrones Seasons 7-8
About to hit the 5000 post mark on the old thread, the first season 7 trailer today seems like the right time to start the final Game of Thones thread.
I'm going back to the original rules pre-2015. I don't think we need supervision or bannings. Just don't be a dick. Post anything you find online that hasn't aired yet inside of spoiler tags. That's pretty much it. I think we can all handle that... For future us, 2015 thread is here: Link Last edited by keg in kc; 06-21-2017 at 10:48 AM.. |

If you stay away from the internet and forums, you'll probably like it.
My co-worker doesn't visit forums and he loves this season. Comes in every morning first thing Monday wanting to talk about GoT. My wife and nephew don't partake in reddit etc either and they love this season. If, however, the criticisms have already gotten to you then it may be too late. I believe that once you have that shit in your head, it stays there and you end up spending every episode looking for little "Gotchas" to nit-pick at. If you can go into it without looking for reasons to roll your eyes or dislike the show, then you'll probably enjoy yourself.

As far as quality of the season goes, Episode 1 was good. Episode 2 was great. Episode 3 was good. Episode 4 started okay but ended bad. Episode 5 may have been the worst episode of the series. I'm not at all excited to see the final episode, which leaves me feeling really disappointed after the level of anticipation I had a month ago. Is season 8 bad? Ask me next week. I don't know yet. But It's certainly not good so far and it's trending down. In my opinion. |

Maybe it's just her inevitable fate that bothers some. My wife's only complaint about last night is that Cersi didn't die brutally enough.

Sure the action scenes are always top shelf and I love that as much as anyone... but it’s the writing/source material that makes it great of course Hey hey, take it easy there Spoily McSpoilerson! |

And that, that I don't believe, that the Dany as presented on the show would kill women and children, methodically, coldly. Just like I don't believe that the Jamie presented on the show would do anything that he did after the battle of Winterfell. I do want to emphasize that: my reaction has nothing to do with the books. It's what i see as inconsistencies within the show itself. Quote:
I've said this before: it was like they had marks they had to hit, in terms of who needed to be where doing what. But they couldn't figure out how to get them there, so they just stopped trying to make sure that things made sense or stayed in character. Quote:
I still think the whole point was to milk sympathy for Cersei. Which I hate. |

Imagine if you will the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Fellowship and Towers directed by Peter Jackson. And then The Return of the King is directed by Michael Bay. That's probably the best way I can express my reaction to last night.

I agree that they did an absolutely shit job at getting Daenerys to the point that she'd murder innocent townsfolk and children that we're surrendering. She absolutely has shown some really bad tendencies in the past, though.

Yes it was sarcasm. i thought blue italics meant sarcasm? I was doing my best Star Wars thread impersonation which is exactly like this thread except different character names and locations.

I would have completely believed her burning down the Red Keep. She wanted to break the wheel, as she put it. The rest? Not so much.
