Game of Thrones

[Lon of the Dead]

I feel your pain, but I don't think I can go that far. I mean that last season of Dexter was bad enough to simultaneously disappoint viewers in the future while disappointing those of the present.

Spoiler...

You may have a point. At least Jaime and Cersei didn't run off to be lumberjacks. Still, Jaime deserved a much more dignified death. As for Cersei, I actually think the worst comeuppance she could have faced would have been to survive, but be forced into servitude for the rest of her life, scooping up dragon shit and emptying Dany's chamber pot, knowing she will never be Queen again and having to live with the loss of all her children and brother/lover. Death was too good for her.

How the hell does this get a limited theater release? Looks fucking terrible

Limited theaters usually just means maybe less than a handful of theaters in NY and/or LA, it's essentially just going straight to VOD. But yeah, it looks really bad

Well, it's finally over and some of it I wanna say WTF??!! Not that it's bad, but it's not a befitting ending to a series such as this. Some will hate it, but very few will love it.

There were things I really liked and things I didn't like

Things I liked:

Spoiler...

-Brann becoming king makes sense and that, in my mind, was totally satisfying. I have no qualms with him ruling the six kingdoms. It also gave a good reason why he went through so much shit in the series. Hodor and friends sacrificing themselves for Brann wasn't in vain.
-I like where Sansa, Arya and most of the other cast ended up. That all felt like great conclusions to their characters in my opinion.
-The cinematography was once again spot on in this episode. Everything looked gorgeous.
-Dany never got to sit on the throne.
-I like the make-shift counsel and how no one knows what the hell they were doing. It was fun, but Bronn was annoying. Drogon fucking off could be very important, and he basically cut Sam off and said, 'WELL HE'S FAR AWAY SO FUCK IT'.
-Arya sailing to the unknown was pretty fucking badass.
-All the houses coming together to basically elect a new king was very cool.

Things I did not like:

Spoiler...

-Seriously, some of these scenes went on for way too long. I didn't mind the intro scene where Tyrion is walking through King's Landing or the scene where Dany is talking to the Unsullied/Dothraki. I think those were needed, but that scene with Jon Snow and Tyrion in that room? Holy shit, that could have been brought down to like 5 minutes max. I felt like they spent time on too much BS when I wanted more clarification on where some other characters ended up. It was just thrown in there.

-Jon Snow being banished was horse shit. His character basically did nothing this season and I just don't like where he ended up. But, he did get to pet that damn dog, so good for him. I just wish it was in better circumstances. I know he loved being in the North, but I don't know, it's hard to explain. Didn't feel good to me and left a bad taste in my mouth. I really felt like he got the shit end of the stick.

-Dany dying had no weight. It was so expected that the scene felt like a drag. Drogon is a fucking insane dragon and him burning the iron throne was pretty cool though. Other than that, it was just another scene that went on for too long. She should have died episodes ago.

Overall, it didn't feel like a series finale to me. It would have sufficed as a season finale, but eh. I think Cersei/Jaimie dying last week was a pretty horrible end for them and was half expecting some more to come of that. This episode was good, but way too much filler. On the flip side, it's hard to picture an ending to Game of Thrones and I'll actually stick up for the writers (for this episode only) that they did the best they could. They really fucked this season up, but I did not mind this episode as much. Like I said though, it didn't feel like a series finale, but I also was not totally disappointed.

Didn't have a finale feel, but wasn't a bad episode either. Compared to the series as a whole though it was rather MEH... and the same can be said for the season as well.

[FrighT MasteR]

It was an ending and I'm neither happy nor disappointed by it. It felt fitting, especially for most of the remaining characters. Though I think the show would've benefited from a full season as opposed to only 6 eps, because there were times where it certainly felt like it was being rushed; specifically with the whole Night King thing considering it was teased about from the very beginning and to have it all occur and end in one episode, ehhhh, felt a little to rushed to me; like lets just get this outta the way already so we can get to how we really want to end it. And the way Cersei went out last ep was way too fast and easy on such a despised character.

All that aside it could've ended a lot worse and there really was no sure way of ending things that would make everyone happy. I'm a bit sad that it's all over now, but the show lasted a lot longer than I expected and the writing was clearly starting to suffer, so it's best it goes out now than later where it could've gotten much worse. Hopefully the prequels/spinoffs they're working on will be good

[Lon of the Dead]

Bullshit, start to finish. Seven years of complex storytelling, for nothing. I said it before and I'll say it again: this season suffered by not having Martin's (unfinished) final book from which to draw its material. Instead, you get a couple showrunners who, lacking material to adapt, clumsily stumbled through stitching together their own conclusion. I imagine them in the writers' room, looking at a wall smothered in seven years worth of post-it notes and red yarn mapping all the various plot lines and character arcs, and randomly picking which ones to ignore in order to tie everything up in a measly six episodes.

A hugely anticlimactic and completely nonsensical conclusion to a story (and its fans) that deserved better. But hey...

Spoiler...

...at least my favorite characters -- Tyrion, Bronn and Davos -- made it out alive. But still, Jon, winding back on the Nightwatch, exactly where he started? That renders null and void everything he's been through the entire duration of the show. And that bit with him apparently ignoring the orders of his own brother and King (let's think about that for a second -- Bran, the new king? Puh-lease...) and leaving the wall to go live with the Wildlings? It's almost as if the showrunners WANTED to piss away his entire character arc.

Anyway, it's over. No fixing it now. I'm looking forward to whatever projects the cast go on to in their respective careers, because it wasn't the actors who ruined the show. But showrunners Benioff and Weiss can go jump in a lake.

[Necromancer]

Spoiler...

For the most part the writers put all of the characters where they felt would be the happiest ending for each of them. Jon wanted none of it, so his happier ending was as a member of the Nights Watch and being with Ghost and the wildlings. Bran did nothing to earn his place as King, but that's where they put him...better than Edmure Tully.

I'm probably the only person on here that's never seen this show.

So disturbingly accurate

[Red]

I guess they wanted a life...

Georgy said it best.

There is a reason why the show has been roasted far and away by most people over the last two seasons. For however entertaining it was, the writing was absolute garbage and it smelled of people who wanted to move on as quickly as possible. This is a rare case where Network interference probably would've been for the better, whereas in most cases its disasterous...case in point...the Walking Dead.

"it's like watching WWZ with 5 pairs of sunglasses on" That's gold.
