How about the "everybody dies except Tyrion and Missandei; they gently caress" ending, is that fake or?romanowski posted:I think it makes a lot more sense that they would kill off a fan favorite in the most contrived way possible. it's the last season and the show's bread and butter is killing off characters, so why wouldn't they do that? I dunno, it seems like it started off that way but the show has felt more and more pandering in the seasons after it ran out of Grum book.

Well, I'm assuming they have more grum book for this season than they did the previous one, since he gave them a list of major plot points when they started writing the show. Most of those are probably going to be ending-related, like Dany murdering characters we like, and Jaime strangling Cersei with his golden hand and Jon loving a zombie for peace.

I agree that the show has gotten more pandering in various ways but it just wouldn't have really made sense to kill off any of Jon/Dany/Tyrion before this upcoming season. the pandering I think comes more in the form of meta dialog and dick jokes and stuff, which was kind of always there anyway Waltzing Along posted:I never watched season 2. Who became the hero? dolores becomes a villain e: I guess maeve becomes the "hero" but I can't really remember what happens because I didn't like the season anyway romanowski fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Nov 7, 2018 |

She was the damsel in distress, if anything. Unless they did a hero > villain all in S2. But Dany has been John Cena since the very beginning. A heel turn now would be like Hollywood Hogan level.

Thoros of Myr, the guy who used to resurrect Berric Dondarrion and make his sword be on fire. He was the one casualty of the whole zombie kidnapping episode.

Well, the only one with an actual name. I think there were some nameless wildling dudes who weren't even on camera until they got to the lake.

Eh. From what I've gathered, GRRM's writing style is very "as it comes" meaning he definitely notes out what he wants to happen broadly etc. but it is extremely subject to change as he fills in the details progressively. He's more or less said 'yes, I have an ending written out for if I get stuck and just don't know what to do but it isn't THE end' and while definitely I bet he gave HBO those original skeleton notes I also think they are very broad and not even that likely to happen in the books necessarily. He's definitely not the type of writer that creates elaborate notes and decides how every little detail will go before ever sitting down to write it all out.

And the writers have amply demonstrated that they couldn't write themselves out of a wet paper bag. This crap was turbodone two seasons ago.

Dolores did not really became a villian in Westworld because Westworld is an incoherent show. It seemed like she was the villain for most of S2 but then the end of season 2 didn't just reverse that, it retconned it, as well as most of the details of the entire show. The whole story is a nonsensical mess now. The writers admitted along the way that they had been reacting in real time to people's reddit predictions, and also deciding last-minute on major changes like supposedly "Stubbs is a robot" on the night of the finale, without having told the actor or anyone to act accordingly before that point. (edit: Now there are no characters remaining who have not had that tired "reveal" done to them besides the two techs) The purpose of Westworld is to feel like a "smart" show that makes viewers believe they are working to solve a mystery the show writers have strung out before them. But the show writers admitted that they don't know the mystery, don't plan the twists, and are just faking everyone out. Bad scam show, with a huge budget and big names, which is how they still managed two good episodes in S2. Happy Thread fucked around with this message at 23:09 on Nov 7, 2018 |

Speaking of best shows, someone mentioned the Shield. Once I finish The Wire and everything else David Simon has touched, I might want another good police show. So which is better, the Shield or 19-2? I'm asking this because I saw the clip from 19-2 with the really long scene (that lacked any camera cuts) showing a school shooting and was awed by the production quality of that

The Shield is fantastic. It's got one of the all time great final episodes too, that whole final run of the final season is incredibly satisfying.

I actually paid 15$ for a Knight if the seven kingdoms, and can say with certainty 10% of the book in, its better than the last three seasons of the show combined. Nobody even had to “flop dugs” to make it good, and it’s still full of great non-tits illustration.
