At least they're writing something, George.
I've seen them finish it though lol
Yep!!!!
Maybe if you fucking finished a story other people wouldn’t have to give it a substandard ending George…
If they finish it, they improve it.
Have you seen GoT Season 8?
I'd say it could have been improved by not existing.
Why does everyone hate S8 so much?
Becaues it is really, really bad.
But what makes it bad? Can you elaborate? Cuz I watched it and I mean it wasn't as good as season 3 or whatever. But I didn't think that it was a total piece of shit either. I really just don't understand. I don't think. And Daenerys had been unhinged for seasons by the time she tried to burn King's Landing. I just don't understand it
The dialogue isn't nearly as good as other seasons. Characters did abrupt about turns like Jamie throwing all his character development away. Ridiculous coincidences happened like Euron and Jamie randomly washing up on the same beach. Non credible things happened, like a light layer of bricks killing Cersei and Jamie. Plots went nowhere. It's just... shit.
There were too many illogical moments that made the viewer scream, "Oh for crying out loud!"
I've never been one to look for those sorts of things, rarely notice on a first viewing, but here's one that grabbed me:
Daenerys is the heroine for flying her dragon around the corner to see the incoming invasion fleet. Posting a dude with a signal fire on the cliff overlooking the only invasion route would have done the trick.
The battle at Winterfell is a perfect microcosm of the issues. Even apart from the shit artistic work (everything was so dark you could barely see what was happening), almost every scene made no sense:
- they start by sending a bunch of people into the army of the undead only for them to die & turn into more undead
- the catapults etc. are in front of the castle gates where they're easily destroyed
- they put their most vulnerable into the crypts, where dozens of dead bodies lie, while fully aware their enemies can reanimate them
- characters keep getting into situations and scenes where it looks like they'll surely die, only for them to be fine in the next scene
- almost everyone survives what is basically an unwinnable battle
- Bran doesn't do shit
- they shit all over the Azor Ahai prophecy by having Aria "end" the long night via killing the Night King, while Jon Snow has basically no relevancy
I can't think of a single good choice in that episode. It took one of the greatest series of all time, and made what is essentially the climax look worse than a B-movie from the 2000s
I agree. And there's tiny tweaks that would make it less shit, like the dothraki charging when they weren't supposed to cos they're the dothraki and that's what they do. Arya could have used the faceless man shit to sneak up on the night king. DONT PUT THE VULNERABLE PEOPLE IN THE CRYPT FFS etc etc. Those small changes would make it a bit less bad... still bad, but not as abysmal
And just like that you've already put more thought into the episode than D&D did!
Ha! You're right I have. They clearly put zero effort into it
And Daenerys had been unhinged for seasons by the time she tried to burn King’s Landing.
Not quite like that. I remember feeling that she was very out of character when first watching S8. And she wasn't the only one. And a lot of storylines were just ended super abruptly, which just ruin years of built up.
But it's been quite a while since I've watched it. This drunk scottish bloke explains it quite well.
GoT season 8 plays like an authors notebook. There are sketched ideas, completed scenes, and no transition work or idea completion beyond the half-assed.
The writers on GoT finished nothing. They appear to have set an authors idea notebook as a script instead of writing a complete script.
They could’ve done better. Ho’Dor for example. His full story arc is not in the book. Clearly, Martin had that scene fully written out in his little notebook. The writers worked that well and did it right. You could feel it. I’m getting chills all over again just thinking about it.
Those same writers got lazy in 8. It’s well documented they were trying to rush off to the next job. The good news is, they were fired from that next job for the terrible job they did on 8.

It's wild how vindictive people can be over a tv show. It wasn't perfect? Oh well. Just deal with it and move on. It's not worth harboring hate and resentment for those involved forever after.
The vitriol is laughable!
People are mad due to the steep fall from grace in the last two seasons. GoT was the best television I've ever seen, but I won't get far into season 7 before turning it off.
You should've seen firefly back in the day. We got one glorious season and I won't let the specter of joss wheden fuck that up fot me.
