Some scenes also cut between night, day, night in weird ways too. Continuity is fucked up.
I guess their famous intro flyover of Westeros is the petard that gives too much perspective and calls into question the feasibility of characters insta-traveling. Maybe think of last night's episode more like a Rocky training montage to show how much Tyrion and Varys agonised over the tricky predicament. - Talking at Winterfell - Talking on a boat - Talking at Storms End - Talking at King's Landing Oh and some plot advancement happens during this montage of talking. I'm with Ab on this one. But there's only 3 episodes left, so come on let's get it over with... |

The writing has fallen apart at an exponential rate this season. In previous seasons it didn't even cross my mind, now I find myself saying *cough* bullshit *cough* in every other scene.

The show doesn't even know what time it's set in anymore!

You know when some TV series are are cancelled early, and then production makes a mad dash in final season to cover all the story arcs and set ups, making mistakes in the process.. Yeah, that.

I just saw that the showrunners Benioff and Weiss have cameos in that Winterfell scene. Priorities huh? Two years of filming and post-production, all those millions of dollars, and no-one noticed the coffee cup.

The timeline stuff pisses me off - the whole point of them showing up decimated and tired was because it was quickly. But the wank fest in between would imply that it wasn't.
Also, one handed man made big lady cry. |

What we do in the shadows
Holy fucking shit!
Taika knows when his mates want to have a bit of fun. Riding the Avengers hype with added Wesley and Danny from the Old El Paso ads... Wow. At the start I was all "That can't be Bastida…" Nek minnut - Tilda. |

I was wondering if that was actually Kings Landing, or was it an outpost.
But they had a shit load of the crossbows for it to be an outpost |

the writing seems so average now and they've made the characters different and in most cases, dumber than before.

Agreed. Finally the last episode and we can all move on with our lives! (Until the prequel seasons)

Will be disappointed if I don't see Cersei dig her way out of the rubble with Jaime's arm in the final episode.

lol @ patch notes. Pretty much sums up season 8. Balance issues.

"Backstory update: In spite of the fact that Jaime's entire character arc revolves around his slaying of the Mad King to save the innocent people of King's Landing, he now doesn't care what happens to them"

Also, his love for Cersei has grown his hand back.

Isn't copyright law the best? Knowing that the stories we grew up with can only be told by a select few, trying to make the most money as possible from those stories by making them appeal to the most people as possible. Like McDonalds.

Four and a half years and counting until The Mouse enters the public domain. Unless Disney buys another law I guess.

Can't remember where I read it, but someone/some people had the opinion that the show runners were great at adaptation of existing material, but horrible at original content, and that really makes sense - as soon as the show made it past the books, it all fell apart.
It's almost as if GRRM said "hey, these are the major plot beats and here's the end" and they literally just did that, without weaving in minor plot threads and nuance/context and just ramming it in dry. Last edited by pxpx : 14th May 2019 at 21:34. |

Huh. Making a TV series based on an incomplete book series isn't such a great idea. Who would have thunk?
I guess money now beats money later.

I actually didn't find the finale tooo bad.
a couple of plot issues I noticed though - greyworm not killing Jon on the spot and also that Arya's many face thing didn't end up coming into play

all that buildup... for that.
By E03 I hated every character and the writers. Fuck everybody. |

That was terrible. It's punishment for all the people pirating the show. That's the only explanation that makes sense.
They should have ended with a Looney Toons "That's all folks!" and then Jon Snow winks at the camera. |

how many character arcs went absolutely nowhere? how many characters made a complete 180 in their motives? how many audience winks and "we like this character so heres more of him" bullshit can there be? how can you essentially ignore characters for 2 seasons then have them play a pivotal role in the last 2 minutes of the fucking show? writing was shit, plot was shit, character development was shit, show was shit. what a fucking disappointment. |

It could have been a lot better but I found it entertaining and wasn't unhappy with the conclusion of most of the characters. Comparatively I reckon it wasn't as disappointing as the last few episodes. I'd give it a 3 out of five. In saying that I'm more of a casual viewer than a big fan
