It was shit but relax with the Dexter comparisons. That will never be beaten.
GoT has already done that. The final season of Dexter actually wasn't bad, the finale was. GoT season 8 has been terrible from start to finish

YESHHHHH, We'll GOOO for it.
First few episodes are the most important. They have hired a very good Director for that. I have been following it closely. The community on Reddit eventhough Amazon are keeping a low profile about the show. I think this could be the next big thing.... bigger than LOTR series.
You are posting in the GoT thread which was amazing for the first few episodes

But I can't be the only to think Sansa is the most entitled shit on the show? She went through a terrible time but nothing Dany didn't who was also raped, imprisoned etc. we just saw more of it with Sansa.

Sansa was way more paranoid and did nothing that didn't help keep her in power.

If she had dragons as well, she'd a million times worse

Which makes so little sense why Bran would tell Jon his true parentage if he then doesn't point out that Jon is the legitimate heir to the throne. I wouldn't go down this rabbit hole, it's not worth it.
Exactly.

I will have nightmares for whatever hours are left of my sleep.

Jon is a fecking cnut. He deserved to die after killing in such a coward and disgusting way.

Then he goes to the wall and decides "well, feck them, I'm not staying in the fecking wall you imbeciles, I'm going north to feck all these crazy wildlings"

He got big part of the westeros's population dead by not keeping his mouth shut/fecking Daenerys and end up as the biggest winner of the show, the lord of the true north. Future Ice King?

In my mind, Drogon took Daenerys to a place of magic, and got her revived.

They'll probably have a spin off show. West of westeros or something.

I've been wanting to watch GOT from season 1, but I want to wait after it all finished. Should I start watching it or is the ending will be a total let down?
Not sure if this is a wum or not but overall it's obviously one of the best series ever and worth the watch. You've got nothing to lose and probably enjoy it more without the 2 year gap.

I mean it was rushed and pretty bad, but people are just overreacting at this point, it was Ok ending for the characters, but fans just want blood at the moment I guess.

This is like a matchday thread at the moment, kneejerking all over the place. :lol:
Pretty much. It’s been that way for a while.

Show clearly got worse but the people so invested in it that get so over the top mad about it are hilarious.

First 30 minutes of this was actually very good. Trial scene and small council scene were crap with some bad logic. Then the ending was good and gave satisfactory endings to most characters.

Not great but you’d think it’s the worst episode of television ever made :lol:

What the feck even was that
You mean you didn’t think it was brilliant writing that Tyrion, a prisoner who had been banished from speaking, anointed Bran the king with an impassioned speech about his wisdom. And then for Bran as his only act as King to come in and say “cool, y’all take care of those details now. Peace!”. And then bounce?

I for one found it pithy, insightful writing.

It was going fine up to and including Dany getting killed. Then all the characters decided they wanted it wrapped up in 20 minutes and did whatever they had to to make that happen.

"Sure, be king, free him, let him live, let her have a kingdom. Just let me leave, for the love of god, let me leave."

Loved how Tyrion went from a prisoner and traitor to the one deciding who should be king all within the same scene.

Also who let Edmure out?

Bran is the real villain in all this. He knew he was going to be king all along. All he had to do was light a fire that caused Dany to snap by revealing Jon’s parentage.

In all seriousness, why didn’t anyone point out Jon is a Targaryen & the rightful ruler?! Wtf was the point of building it up all season when you don’t mention it at the time it’s most relevant!!

So in the year of epic finales we’ve had Endgame (shite), and Game of Thrones, which genuinely make me envy the victim of The Mountains eye gouging. I fear for Star Wars, I really do.

Anyone else find it hilarious that Ser Davos suggested to the Unsullied they settle in empty lands and start their own house? A house they can’t populate because none of them have nuts.
