Jon was resurrected, no way he would die.
Still can't believe the ending they gave Jaime and Cersei. Just do anticlimactic and boring.
That shitty Bronn scene never should’ve been part of the show.When someone hires an assassin to kill you and your brother only a few weeks previously I think even the person most addicted to a toxic relationship must give up on someone at that point. Even Tyrion just forgets the fact that she wanted him dead a few weeks ago and hired an assassin to do the deed. It's just
Anti-climactic deaths are quite typical early season GOT to be fair. It’s only in more recent seasons that the obsession with characters being killed by their nemesis or lovers has come about.Still can't believe the ending they gave Jaime and Cersei. Just do anticlimactic and boring.
Euron's final words still crack me up though
This was strange in the sense that it was both too safe and ideal for the characters and lacking any real impact. Maybe Dany will slip off a mountain cliff in first 5 minutes of the next episode. Don't think it's necessary to drag out the deaths as some ceremonial event but there should be some sting to it
There are plenty of scenes in those 5 episodes we could have done without. All the scenes including fat Sam for starters, the Bronn scenes, the Brienne scenes.
They just wanted Bronn to get a scene as they didn't know what to do with him. So what to do but chuck in some nude chicks and a dialogue with his best mates, the Lannister brothers. I expect he will make an appearance in the final episode.
I think lowest rated as so many fans were heartbroken that Dany turned evil.
Euron has had a pretty prominent role these last couple of seasons.
It makes a lot of sense. Aerys was feared and hated by the peasants for years at the end of his reign because its implied he would kill anyone on his whims and paranoia. No one living would have any memory of the last stable, good Targaryen King (which would have been Aegon the Unlikely). Most people would probably have the fond nostalgia for the peace years of Robert Baratheon. Mad King would be mostly an evil, scary legend to spook your kids with for decades. Plus everyone was scared of the legends of Aegon the Conqueror burning people in castles. So to the common folk, Daeny is simply a scary foreigner with dragons.
Euron was just a mistake who should never have been part of the show in the first place. Same with the Sand Snakes.
It’s because it was awful!
Bronn has spin off written all over him. 'Jon and Bronn do Westeros' or 'Dude, where's my Dragon?!'
Awful season
You have 3 centuries of Targaryen rule with long times of peace before that. And as I said, the mad king's rule per se did not bring war to the kingdom, so for the common people all was still well until the rebellion. Taking Robert's rebellion, rule, and the Stark-Lannister aftermath together, we have ~20 years without a Targaryen king of which only 10 went without major acts of war. There are lots of people alive who remember stability under Targaryen rule, and on top of that the stories that are handed down from one generation to the other.
Okay, but you won't be fined if you stop watching it cause you don't like it anymore.
Euron was a brilliant character in the books. They just totally fecked him up in the show. Didn't bother to flesh him out at all and made him the most stereotypical villain imaginable. I know the actor wasn't great either but I do feel bad for him because he had zilch to work with. People can talk about not having source material as a reason for the writers ballsing things up but they left out a hell of a lot of the best source material, or changed it for the worse, too.
Drogon has to die too, the end of dragons and the end of magic
That's their level. Star Wars movies don't actually have real depth in characters, they are more a rehash of the old movies. These guys write some great cinematic set-pieces but struggle with characters who have depth, so Star Wars falling in the former category should be fine with them.
Course it is. Things have focused down to the finale and lacking source material for the later season they have done a decent job.
This is exactly the thing. It's not their story. They have to finish someone else's story. That's pretty much impossible. They're not George R.R. Martin and they were never going to catch the EXACT same feeling that guy did.
To be honest mate, there's not a whole lot of "hate" posting, that's way blown out of proportion. Most of us seem to have accepted it's not the same show and there's plenty of tongue in cheek stuff.
Queen of The Ashes.
Agreed
It's mostly those defending the show who are taking it too seriously though, which is the funny thing.To be honest mate, there's not a whole lot of "hate" posting, that's way blown out of proportion. Most of us seem to have accepted it's noy the same sgow and there's plenty of tongue in cheek stuff.
Of course you get a couple of people taking it way too seriously, but that goes for both extremes

What
This this this. They made a conscious decision to omit a load of interesting stuff and alter a load of other interesting stuff. Post season 4 they deliberately pandered to what they believed were fan expectations, not understanding that it was the show’s defiance of those expectations which made it so intriguing in the first place. The original material they introduced in the first four seasons proves that they can write well when they feel like it, so the only conclusion to be drawn is that they lost interest in the show after season 4.
The "you want a good girl but you need a bad pussy" line was definitely a prophecy relating to Dany's insanely sudden descent from good girl to bad pussy. Genius writing.
They're basing it on KOTOR, though aren't they? Imo the characters in that are incredibly rich and probably Disney's best chance at creating a character driven Star Wars trilogy, so you just know that they're going to feck them up.
They're a strange collection for sure. One minute they're incredibly adult themed, filled with beautiful flowing poetry, and the next minute Tyrion is doing front flip handstands off of mantle pieces and Patchface is shouting "ho ho ho, I knoooooowwww!"
The other end of the spectrum is equally as annoying - there seem to be people on here and Twitter who have decided that they hate the show now and will nitpick on every single small detail.
