Show runners seem better at weaving all the mysteries and byzantine plots and shifting allegiances and prophecies than resolving them, budgets baloon, writers and directors change and leave. We're definitely watching schlock but at least it's still fun schlock at it's best and we're going to keep watching it till the last fukkin frame because of the sunk cost phallus.

I have to say the location scouting and set design this year are particularly top notch. They also seem to have upped their game with the cinematography.

I'm still highly entertained each week and I still don't know how it ends so who cares? I can sit there and laugh at the hokey teleporting villains and still think its a pretty fun show

They've just created too many messes to conviniently clean up, so they have to focus on the biggest ones. It's not the worst crime. Like people upset that nobody did anything when Cersei blew up the church, getting upset makes sense. But in the larger scale, we inherently Know Cersei isn't overthrown by a mob, she's beaten (or beats) one of the other legacy characters. Getting worked up over it seems a bit naive but also in no way excuses the lovely show-running, they should be better at this by now.

Someone really needs to report back about whether the dip of the beds behind the throne at the Dragonstone match the dip of the beds visible at the beach. If not then provide a cross-section thx.

Yeah, with this many years of investment a show would have to have a Dexter-level falloff in quality for me to consider jumping ship. I still can't bring myself to watch the last 3/4 of the final season.

You've obviously invested a ton of time making your own head-canon for this show, but things just aren't going the way you want/imagined it. Get over it.

Daenerys knocked off the miniature chess piece representing Dorne, which is the show's equivalent of dieing on your way back to your home planet, or in the show's own language, s7's equivalent to s6's "and the sept blew up and everyone died RIP" lezard_valeth fucked around with this message at 05:03 on Jul 31, 2017 |

They need to do something truly surprising because they really did blow their wad early on.

Olenna's gently caress you dead speech was good. Unfortunately the way Olenna dies brings even more veracity to the season spoilers, and we are almost at like 50% through the season and so far they've been 100% true. Oh boi.

How the gently caress did Mel not tell Dany and company about the death and resurection of Jon Snow? You'd think something like that would come up in casual conversation at the very least.

Better question is why they didn't spend any time coming up with a pitch more convincing than "The dead are totes rising."

Kings Landing goes from hating to loving to hating the Lannisters seemingly overnight depending on whatever happened the previous day.
