Just think of Arya as a superhero. And Jon and Dany are high fantasy characters. Tormund is also a superhero with the best origin story ever.

Tywin's death was peak GoT, even above the Red Wedding.

Because that’s when everyone’s contracts were up? I don’t know why this surprises everyone. They had to roll out new contracts for Season 8 and people got loving *paid*.

This is my experience with every spoiler I ever heard. The only one that didn’t come true was the making GBS threads in a field one. But I was sure it was some kind of parody that I would have understood if I had read the books.

You guys think Gendry knocked up Arya to keep the ol' Baratheon lineage going? Cause that would be stupid but also in keeping with the writing.

Y’all talking about it like there’s a nonprofit that got together to stage the works of A Song of Ice and Fire. “We’re just here for the love of the game and that’s why we staged this multigenerational work using different actors at different points in their life in order to stay true to Martin’s vision and not make any compromises whatsoever as we adapted an intensely insular work into a loving mass-market television show”

As has been said before, HBO wanted another couple seasons and it was the producers that chose to wrap it up in a short 8th season. They weren't worried about paying the cast increased salaries, I'm pretty sure HBO is making plenty of money off the GOT train.

I just rewatched the last few seasons, and 7 wasn't really that bad in a big dumb fun way. Things happened in cool ways, even if they had to use the offscreen teleporter to do it. 5 and 6 were the real duds, mostly because of the Sand Snake plotline and Arya's wet fart of a plot with the waif and the theater people.

Also I'm sure there are plenty of Baratheon bastards out there even if Gendry didn't get Arya pregnant. Cersei might have tried to have the ones in King's Landing killed (and failed with at least one that we know of!), but Robert traveled the country with his army loving whores and leaving bastards all over the Seven Kingdoms. If I recall correctly, Stannis and Melisandre were keeping one in their back pocket at Dragonstone in case she needed some king's blood, and Gendry took his place in the show.

Season 6 kicks rear end because it gave us The Winds of Winter. But yeah, the resolution of Arya's time with the Faceless Men was kinda dumb.

Is getting murdered in someone's place a service that the House of Black and White provides? That seems like a poor use of an assassin.

Maybe not anime, but I thought the show would be way better as a cartoon than live action. Mostly because I didn't think they could pull off the fantastical elements convincingly. And they mostly haven't. The Wall was pretty good though.

Really there’s a lot of stuff that would work a lot better as animation if you can shake the twin curses of “for kids” and “tween succubus”

Is interesting than in GoT all magic is different versions of Blood Magic. You sacrifice somebody or something, and you get something in exchange. The childrens of the forest probably where a lot into human sacrifices. The andals did the right thing burning all these pesky ugly forests.
