this is the first thing i found after searching this stuff. ''Rian Johnson and David Benioff & D.B. Weiss are working closely together as they plot the course for their respective Star Wars movie projects.''Quote:

I think they're decent and capable writers. I'm not sure why everyone is piling on them. Clearly there is some fatigue going on there after being attached to this project for over 9 or however many years it has been.Quote:

Had this been an original story, it would have either sucked from the start or people would be going crazy for it. So given that discrepency from having book material to not and having to make shit up on the spot, I give them a break.
I can see Jon killing Dany. They're doing a good job of portraying her as power hungry and on the verge of going mad. Jon will probably kill her to prevent her from doing something terrible (killing innocent people most likely). He'll be devastated but his nobleness will trump his love for her, tbh.Quote:

Yep, HBO would pull a Disney and kill the fuck outta this shit like they've done to the Star Wars franchiseQuote:

FYI, another person who leaked season 7 just confirmed that most of the spoilers left that are being spread around are true. The interesting thing is that all of the rest of the leaks end with episode 5. The rumors about episode 6's production being top secret, appear to be true.
I'll just be happy with a solid 10 minutes of Bran looking through the past. It is bound to be way better than what's coming. I just know they will blow the ending.Quote:

Been watching the older seasons recently. Man I forgot how terrible season 5 was compared to the others. The whole Ramsay and Reek thing, The Faceless Men storyline, High Sparrow gaining power. It makes for a very boring season, but I have to admit it also makes for great payoffs in season 6.
IMOQuote:

Yea I really enjoyed 4 watching it again, great season. Crazy how big of a falloff 5 is. Will be watching 3 next. Not sure why I'm re-watching it in a semi reverse order just kinda happened :lolQuote:

Reading through the first half of those is pretty impressive having seen 4 episodes thus far.Quote:

Actually going by season 8 logic, it makes perfect sense, nevermind :lol
Would still suck to see a character that had barely two words said to each other in the entire series to randomly be killed by one another.
Okay so I've avoided spoilers thus far but finally got around to watching the first three episodes. Episodes one and two were mostly good. My biggest complaint is that alot of these reunions we've waited years for are just being breezed by and falling flat. That and Jon riding a dragon for the first time should have been a much bigger deal than they made it seem. Daenerys taking off on Drogon in season 5 (?) was a much bigger moment. Jon struggling to ride Rheagal was played more for laughs and no other characters really acknowledge the significance. Other than that it was mostly good. Jamie knighting Brienne was probably my favorite moment.
Episode three... what a shit show. I won't rehash everything everybody has already said multiple times, but I just cannot wrap my head around any of the dumb decisions made during this episode. I really have no problem with Arya killing the NK, but how it played out was stupid. Jon and Dani, who were built up to be these larger-than-life characters and possible prince-who-was-promised candidates, played almost zero part in ending the long night... other than massing an army. The series is call A Song of Ice and Fire for Christ's sake. Are we to assume that ending the reign of a drunken queen and her pirate lover is going to be a more significant victory? And Bran, other than being bait, was completely useless. I seriously cannot think of a more anticlimactic ending to the White Walker storyline.
Jon kills Dany.
The least you get your hopes up the better. I stopped giving a shit already despite being emotionally invested what, eight-nine years into the show? At this point I expect a Dexter type ending.
I want to like this episode, but Dany fucking around with peasants instead of rushing straight for the Red Keep just makes no sense at all.
It's another example of writing around desired scenes and ends and ignoring character development and logic. Can't have Dany kill Cercei too quickly or we don't get Cercei and Jamie back together. Seems like there are better ways to achieve that end.
That said, pretty thrilling episode from an action standpoint.
so fucking stupid :lol
dany destroying the iron fleet in ten seconds :lol
all of a sudden multiple scorpions can't fire at once :lol
euron conveniently running into jamie :lol
jamie conveniently running into cersei :lol
arya surviving :lol
SMH
arya could've been on a plane that crashed into a world trade center and she would've survived.
What doesn't make any fucking sense is her destroying that shit, the entire series was "I'm gonna get what's mine" Now it's "I don't want it anymore I'm gonna blow it the fuck up"Quote:

A marriage alliance would have softened the Northerners to her--hopefully shutting Sansa's annoying fucking mouth up--but neither Jon nor Dany's advisors sat down with them and had an actual conversation about it. Varys chose to risk his life and commit treason against Daenerys while still on Dragonstone, because he thought Jon usurping Dany was the best option possible. :lol This shit is so contrived that it's ridiculous.
Greatest episode of the entire series. Seriously. Makes up for this entire shitty season. If you don't see it, you're an idiot. George RR Martin is super anti-war. He was a conscientious objector during the Vietnam war. He got out of getting drafted because of anti-war short stories he wrote. Dragons in this world are nuclear bombs. This is the most anti-nuclear war message ever, right up there with the ending of The Planet of the Apes.
