I hope that the late King Robert is resurrected and brings along the reanimated head of his best friend Ned as they bash their way south, whoring and fighting as only free zombies can.

They can reminisce about the times they had an active pulse and poo poo talk his illegitimate son about he died like a wuss.

I don't really think GoT should be held as a standard of "good development of a show over time" at this point.

I meant season 1 specifically. Although the plot was great until about the time Tyrion gets exiled and they ran out of book to adapt.

Season 1 was legit good. Cinematography, scenery, costumes, acting, score, fight choreography. Had it all. The plot stayed pretty close to the book with only minor tweaks. I watched the poo poo out of it and then read all the books.

Then the show got extremely fuckin bad. Around season 4 I suppose but really the signs were present before that.

IDK why they did Stannis like that.

What did you say the strategy was?
When did the capitol city get burned and the little guy inspire his army to get their assessment kicked? That's around when I stopped watching. When was the wedding thing, too. I think I saw that because I'd read the books and wanted to see how it played out on tv.

The show didn't get bad, it got dumb. The effects got better and the brains got worse.

I've often described it as someone who went in for plastic surgery and had a lobotomy on the side.

It used to be 'Smart poo poo, implied poo poo, shocking poo poo.' Now it's 'Dumb poo poo, dumb poo poo, loving AWESOME, dumb poo poo.' I mean there's no debate that the dragon attack scene last season was the single coolest motherfucking dragon attack scene ever put to film, even if everyone was acting like a drooling moron the whole season

They could have adapted the Dorn stuff which I've heard about from the books and can say was legitimately cool as gently caress. Instead they gave us Xena Bad Pussy Princess

ED: Seriously what the flying gently caress happened there that whole plot was literally dumber and had worse choreography than a 90s Hercules episode, and that is in no way a joke

There's not enough loving coke in the world to get them to put goddamn Dorkstar on the screen. You think bad pussy is cringey? Try "I am of the night" by some lame gently caress with streaks in his hair. They would've been better off to leave Dorne out of it entirely since the whole plot leads to Myrcella being scarred up by Dorkstar.

Actually the worst part of the stupid gently caress Dorne plot is it leading to Jaime being chill with Cersei blowing up the Sept with wildfire like he didn't loving stab the last person who tried that in the loving back.

Forget Stannis, the show hosed Jaime all up the second he arrives back in King's Landing.

Dorne in the books wasn't as much legitimately cool as it was a long stretch ranging from dumb to decent, with a capstone of wheelchair guy delivering a sick as hell speech about how he's a seething ball of rage beneath the surface who wants to murder everyone who ever crossed him and his family.

Instead of using good lines that were already written for them, they decided to shank the guy and replace him with Ellaria the wine-spilling child murderer, who might honestly be the least compelling character in the entire show.

the only legit good moment in this series and in the books is Robert and Cercei relationship. It was loving hearbreaking how these people absolute hate each other so much that they stopped feeling anything. Those scenes where they where talking about how their relationship could never have worked was great tv

At least the bad seasons still have Richard Dormer and his smooth, gravelly voice. Season 8 should have at least two good scenes, even if they decide to cut boobs from the show entirely.

That was such a poorly acted and directed scene with no sense of gravity or emotion in what should have been a pivotal moment. I hope a giant gets loose on the set and steps on the showrunners

Sounds like you are describing the show getting bad.

I'd rather watch a show that was nothing but characters wearing burlap sacks sitting in dark rooms than the "awesome" high budget action scenes that are so poorly executed on every level that they are just groan inducing at this point.

I remember when people were writing fantheories about how Arya was really the Waif and stabbed the Waif posing as Arya because how could the smartest character not named Lannister be so stupid as to walk around in broad daylight after betraying a global alliance of super assassins in their home city?

Nope turns out the writers are that dumb.
