I finally watched the whole series from 1-8 over the last couple of weeks. The ending wasn't great but it was better than I was expecting after hearing how bad it was supposed to be.
Maybe it's worse if you have to wait a year to see it. IDK.

But why the fuck did the Night King throw his spear at the flying dragon when he could have just killed Drogon while Dany was sitting on him. Then finish her off as well.

Something is wrong with you then.

In theory, binging this show should expose it even more. Did you not see a huge drop off in quality from seasons 5-8?

I guarantee you went "huh?" "the fuck" "that makes no sense whatsoever" "lol this is fucking trash" to ":lmao season 8" throughout the said seasons.

What they did to Jon's character made no fucking sense and in my opinion killed any rewatchability the series had. Jon was basically less important than Ramsay Bolton. :lol

Honestly, since I binged, the lines between seasons is blurry. For sure the earlier stuff was more consistently better episode to episode. But I didn't ever start thinking, this is trash.

Because?

I assume he recognizes that she's the one controlling the dragons or at least someone of importance. And even if he didn't, why not take the easy shot at the dragon on the ground that's got someone on it?

Just one of the stupid things that happen in the last couple of seasons. If you think about it too hard you'll just get pissed off.

He brought down the Wall and fucked up his relationship with his aunt/girlfriend so bad that she killed a million people. That's our main character :lol. Expectations were subverted so much that he might as well have not been resurrected. The Wall and King's Landing would still be standing.

Of course. Pretty much unanimous consensus now. Personally, season 8 but more precisely episode 3 and 6 sucked all the energy and love I had for this show. I cant see myself bothering with any other prequels or any GOT related material. At least for a good 5-10 years.

season 5 was one of the weaker ones of the series. dorne sucks. high sparrow was more annoying than compelling (actor was good though). sons of harpy were annoying... kind of like The Hand in the marvel netflix shows. arya's journey to/in bravos was mostly meh except her going in on meryn trant. no bran in season 5 was kinda weird too :lol.

but it had enough cool moments like hardhome to still make it good TV. the stuff happening in the north, in general, was cool. just not up to GOT standards. season 6 was a good rebound though

Season 5 gets a lot of shit but compared to the ones that followed, it's an 7/10 imo.

i thought season 6 was significantly better than 5

7's writing started becoming something of a shitshow but imo was still quite a spectacle and overall entertaining

enough bad things cant be said about 8, though.

Wow.. The Long Night was like one of the best shows of all time! Absolutely beautifully shot and a helluva story line. Even e6 was not bad at all although not close to e3. Those 2 episodes were basically the only good things on S8. I think people were so disappointed with the finale that their thinking gets skewed about the whole season.

Blake

03-24-2020, 02:27 AM

Overall I'm a bit disappointed in the show with all the hype that's surrounded it over the years. Still a solid 8/10, but was expecting myself to give it a 10/10.

My biggest beef is the weird incongruent use of the dire wolves. They set it up to be really cool pets but the way they pop up here and there with no explanation/reasoning most times bugs the shit out of me.

I also loled at the walk of shame that the religious nuts made Cersei do. I mean they could have just showed her for like a minute, fast forward to her walking into the castle but that twenty minute nudey walk cracked me up

That one hour arguably ruined the entire series. Regardless if it looked beautiful or how well it was shot... it was quite possibly the laziest piece of television writing ever. The long night and the night king specifically were slowly built up over the course of the show to be this world ending event, and were quickly disposed of with a single thrust of a deus ex machina dagger. And in the process, making Bran's abilities, the azor ahai prophecy, and Jon's parentage (which all consumed a great bit of screentime throughout the show) all completely pointless. Honestly, it makes it hard to even enjoy early seasons when the show was at its peak, because you know that all of this intrigue, nuance, and prophecy amount to nothing.

Then there is the finale...

Glad to see others enjoyed the show like me and the wife did. That is until the end end. Like you that all time worst finale stops me from rewatching because I know how disappointed I’m going to get. Unbelievable to us how a single episode just spoiled what could have the best series ever. This is exactly why I think I can only rewatch a few episodes that in my mind highlighted the best of the show. Prior to the shit-show of S8 I really enjoyed rewatching the whole thing until the new season began. Just my opinion.

paperboy77

03-24-2020, 07:13 AM

Yeah I’m not sure if he’s trolling or not naming perhaps the two worse episodes of the entire series as best ones. You can argue the 5th was the worst of them all but holy shit the long night was just..nevermind.

Not trolling just saying what I think. I just now realized e6 was that shitty ending. I meant to say e5 was ok definitely not 6.

However e3 was terrific to watch. Really not sure what anyone could complain about it.

I can live with everything that happened in Season 7 except for the Little Finger "scheme" and going beyond the wall. After I saw those two scenes come to an end, I lost all hope for Season 8.

The dire wolves have a more symbolic role in the books. Both the wolf and the child given the wolf share characteristics. I don't think the show wanted to spend too much time going into this so largely wrote them out.
The dire wolves were mostly skipped over on the show due to the FX budget. That money was used for the dragons.

Sometimes Ghost would be unlocked at Castle Black and able to jump in to help Snow or Sam. Other times he would be locked up. Other times Ghost would be wandering around in the wilderness on his own.

SPOILER - For purposes of the show, you don't really need to understand it. It was a cool idea that moved the show along for one episode and then goes on to be completely irrelevant going forward. You also don't need to remember anything about the children of the forest or the three eye raven. Just ignore the 4 year build up in Bran's story.

Oh yeah, I loled how they killed the "general" and all the wights he had raised in that group were destroyed...... except for the one they needed which must have been raised from the dead by another general.

All of the travel timelines from castle to castle were ridiculously fast. I just tried to ignore it
