They're bang out of order.@Olly Gunnar Solskjær you hearing this pal
Their approach with Cersei was always a bit bizarre in that respect - they consistently loved having her do awful things but then would simultaneously use her motherhood to try and redeem her. I mean, I get that it's a show with morally grey characters who can't be defined as good or evil, but there's points which go past redemption and if you have someone as evil as she often was then being a mother isn't enough to make her seem somewhat okay.I thought Lena did another interview recently saying again that she didn't like Cersei's death. I still think it was a bizarre decision to try to 'humanise' Cersei in the penultimate episode after all the evil things she did. I suspected they would do a miscarriage scene which might have helped us sympathise with her (if that had been the intention) but in the end it was all very underwhelming. She was always insecure and jealous but I thought she'd go out like a crazed lioness, not a scared kitten. The whole 'you're not a monster' speech from Tyrion is staggering considering what she did to him all his life and the fact that she hired Bronn to murder him and Jaime a few weeks earlier.

Watch first 4 season again and compare it to Joffery's.Best death was Olly. Hang the little fecker again
The music and scene direction was just brilliant.Actually this death was fecking brilliant:
Back when Jon was the fecking man.Actually this death was fecking brilliant:
That moment when Longclaw stands up to the ice spear sends shivers up my back even after all this time.Actually this death was fecking brilliant:
Yep. Stupid what they did to him/how his arc played out.Back when Jon was the fecking man.
It looked really shitty though. When you poor molten gold on someone, they burn. Iirc, Viserys didn't so much as get his hair singed, just died.Best death surely has to be Viserys Targaryen purely due to the ingenuity of death by gold? If nothing else GoT had some good deaths...
Yeah. I don’t see why folks think that.Because it was crap.
It was so bad that I've lost all enthusiasm for the series to the point that I won't rewatch it. I always go back to the shows I've loved and I've gone through Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, DBZ, Band of Brothers & The Pacific more than 4 times. I thought Game of Thrones would be added to that list but no. I will not bother investing any more time to be let down.So, I never had access to HBO until this summer... that means I just now watched Game of Thrones in its entirety over the course of the last month.
I really don’t see why people were losing their shit over Season 8.
For an absolute litany of reasons, it was all over the place.Yeah. I don’t see why folks think that.
They tried to pack 20 episodes worth of content into 6 episodes which made it rushed to the point of unwatchable. They removed all the character development scenes and subplots to focus on getting from A to B in the timeframe.Yeah. I don’t see why folks think that.
There were 2 wars that needed ending. That happened. It was pretty straight forward.For an absolute litany of reasons, it was all over the place.
They’d built up to season 8 throughout. Season 8 is when all the building up finally comes to a head and happens. Makes sense to me.They tried to pack 20 episodes worth of content into 6 episodes which made it rushed to the point of unwatchable. They removed all the character development scenes and subplots to focus on getting from A to B in the timeframe.
Dialogue was shit, characters became terrible, the story unwound horribly, it was beyond poor and verging on laughable.Yeah. I don’t see why folks think that.
It was the shiteness of season 7 on steroids and protein shakes.Yeah. I don’t see why folks think that.

Nah. Not seeing it.It was the shiteness of season 7 on steroids and protein shakes.
It was like going from SAF in the first few seasons to full blown Moyes in season 8!Nah. Not seeing it.
Yeah I’ve seen stuff like that since it first aired.It was like going from SAF in the first few seasons to full blown Moyes in season 8!
What did you like about it?Yeah I’ve seen stuff like that since it first aired.
I simply don’t agree.
All of it.What did you like about it?
All of it.
Great epic battle scenes reminiscent of the Crusades or Greek mythology. Wrapped everything up nicely. Held true to the Targaryen “coin flip”. “Bad” folks got their just deserts.
I even liked who ends up on the throne. Been saying that character should be it since season 4/5.
Ever read Plato?By doing absolutely nothing and barely appearing for ages he should sit on the throne ?
Ever read Plato?
Plato’s Republic... the philosopher king.I wouldn't watch 8 seasons of him
I watched the last 3 seasons in about a 2 week period. It flowed fine to me.@Carolina Red Interesting to hear you say that. There was a perceptible drop in quality for me from about season 6 or so when GoT passed the books (never read any of them, mind you). And the last season even moreso. Perhaps binging it the way you did might have contributed to your thinking.
Exactly like the transfer tweets thread.Dialogue was shit, characters became terrible, the story unwound horribly, it was beyond poor and verging on laughable.
There was indeed drop in quality and things were rushed but it wasn't as bad as most people overreacted.I watched the last 3 seasons in about a 2 week period. It flowed fine to me.
It flowed like a river of shite on a hot and humid day.I watched the last 3 seasons in about a 2 week period. It flowed fine to me.
