Well, we wanted to subvert expectations and we thought that it looked good. And so long as we weren't thinking about them surviving, they'd survive. Q: D&D, why the fuck were you on the greatest show of the 21st fucking century? It's not like you idiots had a clue about good writing, you just know how to adapt books better people have made.

We read George's books, well kinda, up to a certain point, and thought we could totally do that in live-action, how hard could it be? We drew inspiration from how awesome our stories were in our Dungeons & Dragons sessions. Q: As the show progressed, you've changed more and more of the story in the source material. So with that in mind, why did you bother to have a Dornish plot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was going through your minds when you wrote the ending for the White Walker subplots? Did you really think it's realistic that one battle (with shitty battle tactics I might add) to kill off an army numbering over 100000 with a wight dragon? Why did you have a Mad Queen twist in TWO EPISODES?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were going for a realistic vibe with the White Walker ending. Unfortunately with all the hype and build up we realize we wrote ourselves into a corner and couldn't reasonably resolve the situation in one abridged season without looking silly. So we opted to cover that up and surprise everyone with the fan hype of Arya killing the Night King. So a lot of foreplay and build up leading to one unfulfilling spurt of an orgasm. Realistic right? Quote Why did you have a Mad Queen twist in TWO EPISODES?! There has been ample foreshadowing for Dany's madness such as her torturing the slavers, wanting to burn Slaver's Bay and executing prisoners with dragonfire. However, this was too subtle for what we wanted in the end, so we opted to surprise the fans with her sudden shift into wickedness to force our protagonist Jon to act as he did. We felt having her massacre lots of innocents just because would justify Jon Snow in murdering her. Though we decided to throw in a Hitleresque speech afterward just to be sure. Q: Wouldn't Theon Greyjoy have made so much more thematic sense to be the one that killed the Night King? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, we knew that we needed to kill him off, and we were considering ways of doing such. But then our children read over our work, said that it was horseshit and came up with how Theon died. Why did the "Battle" of Meereen only have Dany burn a few ships? Why isn't there a Yunkish or Volantene army at the OPEN GATES of Meereen, sacking the city?

And we couldn't think of a better way to demonstrate that than to show that everyone who isn't from Westeros is just really stupid! Incompetent! The only real people are from Euro- uh, Westeros. What was behind the creative decision to go full sit-com and have everyone laugh for like, an uncomfortably long time after Sam "Why Don't We Try Democracy" Tarly invented democracy? Did that not feel like a tone shift for you after the dragon nazi thing like right before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did Jon Snow only know a few sentences in S8 and why are the jokes and dialogue so bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
