Cas Stark Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 1 hour ago, David Selig said: I told you guys. On this show, the answer always is "bad writing". That's why coming up with elaborate theories for the show is a huge waste of time. LMAO. Even worse writing than I thought, I was giving them credit at least for Arya having done her walk about on purpose to lure out Bobcut...but it was even worse than that, it was exactly what it looked like. We saw Arya lose to her for 2 years, and then, when the plot demanded it, Avengers Arya wins the day, and poor waif turns out to be an even worse FM than Arya.

ivosan Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 Man, it was bad writing all along. Really bad writing. So bad that its stench ruined the whole Episode 08 for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Direwight Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 So is someone going to do a tally of all the posts where people were sure it's not going to be bad writing because clearly something great was being set up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit to being wrong. I thought it would only be mediocre writing with a twist that didn't work. Instead the only twist was that bad soup and a few minutes bedrest can cure heavy internal injuries. Apparently there are no consequences in Game of Thrones. And apparently there was more thought put into this entire thread than the writing staff put into Season 5-6 Arya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Louis II (KLII) Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 I wished D&D read this forum and this thread in particular. I am really concerned that GoT may become the next "LOST" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet another indication of this theory is that Arya wasn't mentioned a single time in the official post show videos and just for a mere half second in the ep. 8 preview even though one of the main characters is apparantly mortally wounded. Why? Because they don't want us to think too much about it. Which we do anyway. And we have figured it out: A=W. I told you this was a dumb theory last week. Now it looks even dumber reading it back lol. They didn't want us thinking about it, because it was a sh*tshow example of poor writing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Hyle Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Dear everyone who engaged in mental gymnastics to try and create reasons why the end of Arya's Braavos arc was written so piss poorly. Have you learned your lesson yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Facebookless Man Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 No they haven't. Nobody is apologizing, admitting their error, or even changing their mind. In fact they went and rated episode 8 a 9 or 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a pretty dumb super intelligent species if they didn't see that coming. This is not like saying "why shoot a man into space where he cannot breathe?" because there is only one space. If there was an alternate space where a man could breathe, I'm sure we'd be exploring that one instead. If we're accepting the fact there's an advanced alien species that developed without water covering their home planet and capable of intergalactic travel, then it's quite a stretch to believe potential intelligent slave workforces only exist on planets mostly covered in water. It was a smash and grab job. It was to late by the time anyone connected the dots. If they are capable of interstellar travel, I am pretty sure they are capable of shielding themselves from water. The point is, they did not NEED to. I would also point out, that they probably came from our own galaxy and they were smart enough to realize it would already be to late before anyone really figured it out on a MASS scale. Two localized events does not count as the entire world figuring it out (The Father and his family and the Dr. who killed the Father's wife) One frickin' alien was harmed by water. And I would also bet a good portion of his injuries derived from the baseball bat. They basically hoodwinked our entire species and got away with it.

Josethyne Frost Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I really don't see the point in decrying theorists for having a go at something better. Why on earth should they 'apologise'?! Some people enjoy theorising, whether it becomes true or not. It is part of their entertainment process, engagement. So be it if their expectations are not met, but to many that's not the whole point of it. Whoever feels that fan theorists should 'apologise' needs to really check their own arrogance.

Facebookless Man Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 How about you read the thread and find out why that was brought up? Spoiler: it turns out it was one of the "fan theorists" who said those of us who thought "bad writing" was the obvious answer should come back to this thread and apologise to him when his theory was inevitably proven right. He insisted on it, repeatedly and arrogantly. Turns out we were right and lo, he's nowhere to be found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josethyne Frost Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 So that's one guy, why write 'Dear Everyone [...] have you learned your lesson yet?' 'No they haven't. Nobody is apologizing, admitting their error, or even changing their mind.' I theorised, and I was - like many - disappointedly proven wrong; I was never arrogant, so I won't apologise. So unless this user's name is 'Everyone', 'they', 'Nobody', or 'their', how about you kindly apologise to everyone else you rudely and needlessly implicated? Of all the places theorists can go, reddit and this forum are the best - so we will be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
