Season 6,7,8 were utter garbage. Progressively spiraling into abyss of D&D's creative empty space between their ears.
I gave up on Lost and Dexter’s ending just makes me laugh more than anything.Is there a divisive ending that puts you off a show more than GoT? I can't think of it. Lost? Dexter? I guess because this show is so character driven that's what makes it harder to rewatch. So many people start to do so many things that are out of character simply because the writers need events to happen.
That wasn't D&D's writing.Killing the main characters at the end of season 1 and then again at the Red Wedding was terrible writing. D&D are shit.

I think that was sarcasmThat wasn't D&D's writing.
Not a TV show, but Mass Effect 3's ending retroactively ruined the rest of the series for me.Is there a divisive ending that puts you off a show more than GoT? I can't think of it. Lost? Dexter?

Yeah, the emperor was walking around naked for several seasons and I think the ending made a lot of people finally wake up to the truth.Season 6,7,8 were utter garbage. Progressively spiraling into abyss of D&D's creative empty space between their ears.
The reaction to Mass Effect 3’s ending was so ferocious they released a free DLC to fix it. We will never see it’s like again.Not a TV show, but Mass Effect 3's ending retroactively ruined the rest of the series for me.

Off topic of course, but the ME3 ending for me wasnt that bad. Like, obviously a bit of a disappointment, but honestly for that series it was more about the journey than the destination.The reaction to Mass Effect 3’s ending was so ferocious they released a free DLC to fix it.

I actually think the show peaked after season 4 finale. Didn't mind season 5, thought it was good. Season 6 was okay in places. Season 7 was a mess with horrific jarring time hops etc. 8.. well... let's just say I signed that petition.Really liked season 6. The Bran stuff peaked in that season imo.
It didn't even fix it. They went by the nutters on their forums that were obsessed with "romance" and gave dlc so you could spend more time with your "romance". It didn't fix the story or the mad nonsense at all. Marauder Shields tried to save us all and failed.The reaction to Mass Effect 3’s ending was so ferocious they released a free DLC to fix it.

They're great but the exponential plotline growth and lack of an ending, possibly permanently, are downsides.For all of you; read the books. Fantastic to read. Better then the show
I'm on to Dance With Dragons right now and I'm struggling to get through it. It's really boring and feels like GRRM threw darts at a board for some of his plot choices.They're great but the exponential plotline growth and lack of an ending, possibly permanently, are downsides.
Yes, it becomes a slog I feel. I have no idea how he's going to bring all those different tangents together for any sort of conclusion. Can't help but feel an editor was needed.I'm on to Dance With Dragons right now and I'm struggling to get through it.

It had to go that way but they could've handled it so much better.Making Jon Snow a Targaryen was the point when it became far too messy. It was a great plot twist at the time but it effectively ruined the two main characters, Jon and Daenerys, and pretty much the story altogether.
I think the intrigue in the books is going to be a lot more intense if it ever gets written because you have Denaerys, Jon, Young Griff all from the same family having varying degrees of claim to the throne, all working towards claiming it without knowledge of the existence of the others.Making Jon Snow a Targaryen was the point when it became far too messy.

Yeah on paper it adds up quite nicely, but because it fell on the worst, most rushed season of all time it ended up being a disaster for the storyline.I think the intrigue in the books is going to be a lot more intense if it ever gets written because you have Denaerys, Jon, Young Griff all from the same family having varying degrees of claim to the throne, all working towards claiming it without knowledge of the existence of the others.
Or he could have killed her at the same time she killed him. I mean its not a whole lot better, but it actually makes sense why Dothraki (those people who appeared from nowhere after being wiped out) and Unsullied (who, it was suggested should start their own house, hahahaha) took no action. Everything up until that point showed they did everything for their queen and didnt follow 'law / trial / judgment'I was thinking about how they could have made the ending partially redeemable without extending episodes/redoing the whole thing and, well, there isn't.... but I think Jon should have killed himself after stabbing Dany. The fact that both Drogon and Greyworm don't tear him limb from limb after he murders her is just ridiculous and if they didn't want to kill him that way then a suicide would have been more appropriate.
I'll give Kit the benefit of the doubt and say it was the writing but even the final scene between Dany and Jon was very bland in what should have been THE moment of the series (with the way the story went).
The build to this point was excellent. I really liked the s6 stuff with Bran going back in time to see his father and the secret. Even Bran and Sam figuring it all out together (in s7). But after that, cos of the lack of time, it meant absolutely nothing. All it served was the reason to make Dany paranoid, Varys into an idiot, Jon into saying one of two lines and yeah... basically everybody became stupid from knowing this.Making Jon Snow a Targaryen was the point when it became far too messy.

You are right about the fact that Martin maybe will not finish last two books but we don't know the true ending. This ending from show is D&D's rubbish ending. I bet that Martin's ending will not be near like that.I wouldn't recommend the books at this point. They're good but there is supposed to be two left and they're never going to be finished plus we already know the ending more or less.
I think Jon not becoming King is how it'll ultimately end, and the show fecked it up. Jon has always been responsible for his own destiny. He was brought up a bastard, he had no claim to anything and he made his own path despite what others wanted him to do. Whilst everyone wants him to be King - show watchers and book readers as well - it's not what HE wants. After losing Dany, and the decimation of King's Landing, he sees what power ultimately entails and he wants nothing to do with it. He's seen how anger and greed corrupts man and he just yearns to be back in that cave with Ygritte and have a simple life.I was thinking about how they could have made the ending partially redeemable without extending episodes/redoing the whole thing and, well, there isn't.... but I think Jon should have killed himself after stabbing Dany.

I don't think he'll become King either, but I think it might end with Dany killing him. He has to come back from the dead and the thing with the books is you come back different, you lose something of yourself. Stoneheart and Dondarion have been highlighting that. So it might be a different Jon by the end.I think Jon not becoming King is how it'll ultimately end, and the show fecked it up. Jon has always been responsible for his own destiny.

It's like GRRM explained this to D&D ("he doesn't want it") and the best they could do with that info was make Jon say "I dUn WaNtiT"
He'll come back as Ghost, poop on Dany's favourite blue dress (the one where you have one boob popping out) and she'll feed him chocolate. Then Drogon will eat Cersei and Tyrion will tell Varys that he has no cock.I don't think he'll become King either, but I think it might end with Dany killing him.

And everyone will conclude that Sansa is dead smart.He'll come back as Ghost, poop on Dany's favourite blue dress (the one where you have one boob popping out) and she'll feed him chocolate. Then Drogon will eat Cersei and Tyrion will tell Varys that he has no cock.
No you're right, that really did happen. With Theon. I bet D&D felt really smart when they wrote that one.And everyone will conclude that Sansa is dead smart.
Varys has no cock. It never gets old.
Am I imagining it or did Theon win a fight because he had no cock and therefore was immune to being punched in the crotch? I feel like I have to have imagined that, but I suspect I haven't.

"The guy. Without a cock. Gets kicked in the cock. *sssnnnnNNNOOORRTTTT* And then. It doesn't hurt his cock. Because he hasn't got one. It's like he's been preparing his entire life for this moment."
"Yeah. Or it's ironic. You know? His weakness is like a strength now or something."
"Like rain on your wedding day?"
"......We got any more of those horse tranquilizers left?"
"No....yes!"
"IoI subverting my expectations there"
Swap tits with cock, dragons do play a big part but it's the different characters and their stories that make it brilliant.Never watched it, full of cock and dragons so I hear. Is that a correct observation?
If so I will continue my boycott of the show.
