Sir Hedge of Hog Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 2 hours ago, Art Vandelay said: So a prisoner gets to give a speech that will decide the next ruler. The Starks somehow get to bring three people in to the same decision making process, despite at least two of them holding no power at all. Sansa is then allowed to interrupt other people's declaration for the Throne. Arya is now threatening to cut powerful people's throats in front of audiences of other powerful people. Faceless Men are shit at the whole assassin thing. Davos legitimately offers some eunuchs the chance to go start their own house. Somehow Sam is there despite being in the NW therefore having no power whatsoever. They elect the biggest weirdo they can find. Sansa then just decides the North is no longer part of the kingdom and is allowed to do this. No one else bothers to claim their own independence. They send Jon, who should by all rights be dead, back to the NW. For what? There's a giant fucking hole in the wall, the WW are dead and the Free Folk are all south of the fall. Of course we all know no one in Westeros understands the idea of getting behind walls anyway. What in the name of fuck was that scene? It's only topped by Bronn being master of coin. 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tadco26 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Paraphrasing, GRRM has said in the past that for him the story is the journey and the details of that journey are what is important, more so than the end points. D&D are more focused on the end points and don't really care if the journey is logically consistent. I think the end story can be fine with a satisfying journey to get there. Consider this quote by GRRM: Quote The return of Drogon to the city was something I explored as happening at different times. For example, I wrote three different versions of Quentyn’s arrival at Meereen: one where he arrived long before Dany’s marriage, one where he arrived much later, and one where he arrived just the day before the marriage (which is how it ended up being in the novel). And I had to write all three versions to be able to compare and see how these different arrival points affected the stories of the other characters. Including the story of a character who actually hasn’t arrived yet. This writing style is why the books take so long, and also why the books are unlikely to be that close to the show. Even if some of the biggest highlights are the same, the journey is going to be completely different. Another quote: Quote As you know, I don't outline my novels," Martin wrote to his publisher in 1993. "I find that if I know exactly where a book is going, I lose all interest in writing it. I do, however, have some strong notions as to the overall structure of the story I'm telling, and the eventual fate of many of the principle characters in the drama." The show just cares about hitting the plot points, and not if the set up for those plot points makes any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the show, Robb and Ned both seemed to be unconcerned about Bran's ability to get an erection and ejaculate. As a matter of fact, they were all but assured that his only problem will be his inability to walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ygrain Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Just read an article how fans' high expectations killed an otherwise perfect show (though a bit rushed, the author does admit). Woe is me, how could I have expected a coherent narrative and character development? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kissdbyfire Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I was looking for the Outside the Episode and couldn’t find it. Is it possible they’d given up on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
some old man Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Apparently, everybody in the show forgot that Bronn, alongside Jamie, pillaged Highgarden for all its worth. And now he gets to be their Lord? GTFO. I don't usually berate those that 'like' these kind of train-wrecks, but seriously, anyone who felt satisfied with this season is a low IQ sheep.

Corvinus85 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 And another mistake. https://www.yahoo.com/news/fans-spotted-plastic-water-bottle-091755725.html Did the production make these mistakes before, and people either didn't notice or didn't care?

Saturno Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 So apparently everyone knows about Bran powers and actually think they are pretty good. Very convenient. Amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how they first offer The Reach to the Unsullied and claim it is unoccupied. The Reach is the most fertile and most populated region in Westeros, and they make it seem like it's Greenland.

Saturno Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Loved how they have put every single surviving character (except for Bronn, so apparently Horn Hill is the new seat of power of the Reach) as the "new lords of westeros" PLUS A FEW RANDOM GUYS to make a impression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bear42 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Isn't it funny how the first 3+ seasons were filled with the conflict that follows the death of a monarch when there are questions about the line of succession, but that same scenario is resolved in five minutes in season 8. Game of Thrones has turned into the cliff notes version of an interesting show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Cygne Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Tobias Menzies wandered in and made a character actually seem real for a brief shining moment.. so of course he was cut short by rude Sandra.

GW told Missy they’d go to Naath after the xenophobic northerners gave them the evil eye. She also had a convo w/ Davos about it iirc, while he was ogling her.

They bring the character back only to use him as a step for this ridiculous character they call """"""Sansa"""""". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
