Minsc Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 27 minutes ago, Cas Stark said: Yes, like everything else in the show, the costumes inexplicably got worse as the seasons went on. There were a lot of costumes I enjoyed in the first couple of seasons, although, it must be said, making Winterfell a dirty rustic hovel without any grandeur at all was tragic. You would think over the course of 8,000 years they would have accumulated some nice art and porcelain, not to mention better candle holders, LOL. I recently rewatched the scene where Sam has dinner with his family that has to be one of the worse sets in the series. The dinner scene is an almost pitch black like the Tarlys have no light in their castle at all. Yet, on the outside IIRC the castle looked more like off the set of Downton Abbey.

Why oh why would someone that's a supposed costume designer, fashion aficionado wear such things? You were kind not to give a closeup the clovenness, so to speak.

Count Balerion Posted April 13, 2021 Share Posted April 13, 2021 FIRE CANNOT KILL A DRAGON, CHAPTER 28. SEASON 8 BEGINS not much in this chapter. but ... anderson (GW) "i had a certain level of suspicion." hempstead-wright (bran): "at first i genuinely thought it was a joke script." [!!!] technical difficulty w/ scripts: cunningham (davos): "everybody thought i was a luddite b/c i couldn't open them [scripts]. later i got to belfast ... and they couldn't open them either." NCW sent gwendoline christie (brienne) an e-mail about scripts. "i sent back a being-sick emoji. how modern." "as the showrunners continued to check their e-mail, several cast members felt abruptly inspired to take long walks." weiss: "why aren't they writing?! does that mean they like it? does that mean they hate it?" ms. turner: "when you're actually reading it, and partly b/c david and dan are pranksters, you're thinking 'this can't be true!'" emilia clarke: "the effect it had on me was profound. i left the house ... and walked home w/ blisters b/c i walked for hours." more later.

The whole scene is just so stupid, and so stupidly written... and then comes that last stupid line. And it just calls out that they didn't give her a last moment. A main character didn't get to say something profound about her own ebbing life. It was All About Him. She went crazy because of some guy, and then she died because of some guy, and they still made it all about some guy. I'm surprised they didn't make her thank him!

Le Cygne Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 They were all about the shot (those faces! make it shocking! add special effects! copy a movie!) They don't write stories, they string together meaningless shots with nonsense. (It's also funny how they just blatantly admit that's what they did.)

I suppose the same way that Denis Neilsen hoped for "one last moment" with the people he'd just strangled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostlydragon Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 4 hours ago, The Dragon Demands said: Also consider that they admitted they focused all their attention on this one “perfect” scene, for awards baiting,... at the expense of paying attention to the rest of the season. How in the series finale inside the episode, only released in the blu ray....they blurt out casually “we spent so much time focusing on getting that one scene perfect that we didn’t think of the political fallout after that until the last minute” They should have ended it there. Let it end with Drogon seeing what Jon has done, prepare to kill him. Focus on Kit's face, and then end on that cliffhanger. Everything that came after was so stupid and made no sense anyway so why not just end the story with the end of the Targaryens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady Fevre Dream Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 So, this is the clip that came by my TTL on Twitter today. For The North? Jon Snow centric? Honestly, I don't know whether to be mad or sad: It is so obvious in this trailer that there is a flow thread lacking in the whole thing. The beginning and the end are not connected by any kind of sensible middle? It's such a disconnect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Fevre Dream Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 My computer is still a nightmare, so let's see if I can get a simple message across. One good thing, I can't imagine seeing any finished product from the D&D bozos anytime soon. They seem to keep having projects taken from them. It seems no one really trusts them. I can't imagine why, LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering they were already rich, I'm not sure that is the point. MY point is that we still haven't seen any WORK with their names on it. That seems to be what matters to them most, anyway. If Netflix doesn't get something out of them, then Netflix can worry about the cash they blew on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
