I want Dany to go mad queen and burn KL off screen and next episode begins with Jon arriving to KL and seeing a dragon burn half the city down. Basically recreate the Community walking in with pizzas and everything has gone horribly wrong but with dragons.

Man, a lot of people who hate this show watch this show. In this episode Jon sent his dire wolf away, ignored practical political advice in favor of honorable honesty, and the dragon he rode got murder-killed... Foreshadowing!

What made the ending so stupid? his sister (the only other important character on the show) dies offscreen to a blood clot, Dexter wheels her body out of the hospital to the hospitals boat dock? dumps her body in the ocean, then rides off, into a hurricane, presumed dead, leaving his son with his serial killer girlfriend in another country and reappears somewhere else in a new life as a lumberjack

Admiral Ray posted:Ah, got it. That's lame. I dunno how many more seasons the actors would have been willing to do, either, but probably up to 9 seasons. If the actors are getting tired of being on the show, that's maybe a sign their character should die soon. You could pretty conveniently kill anybody off to give them an out if they really wanted, especially now that we're post books. If you did it right away that'd be hokey, but if an actor/actress let you know "hey I kinda want to do other work the year after next" you could start writing a plot so they'd be out by halfway through the season or whatever, and you could plan that with them. TheRat posted:HBO begged D&D to make more episode/seasons. It's entirely on them. It really is crazy they had the most successful show and just tanked it hardcore. Couldn't just hand it off to someone else either, they had to be the ones to finish it because it their baby, so they'll kill it themselves first, in the most rushed fashion possible. Groovelord Neato posted:it is hilarious how many people would kill to have their level of success and they just go eh let's just throw poo poo out there and end it early. ^

Wafflecopper posted:The titular character, a serial killer, decides everything he touches turns to poo poo, so he gives his son to his serial killer girlfriend and tells them he'll meet them in South America. Then he fakes his own death and goes to Alaska to be a lumberjack. Do you think he still murdered people in Alaska, cause I don't think the show ever addressed him like... getting over or curing his "dark passenger" Should've had Doakes come back as a ghost

Raccooon posted:Writers needed a reason for Dany to snap so they need Missandei to get executed. How to solve the problem of getting her into the hands of Cersei was how the rest of that came about. - Dany's fleet shows up at King's Landing outside of artillery range. - Missandei is sent on her skiff as a diplomat to try and negotiate and avoid an imminent siege. This is from a position of strength instead of just showing up at the front gates with 50 guys after you've already lost the advantage. - Instead of negotiating they publicly execute her or do something awful to bait Dany. Repeat of Ramsey baiting Jon into breaking ranks by killing a loved one. Its like poetry, etc. - Dany loses her cool, charges in alone with her dragons and loses one in a hail of ballista fire. She has to retreat humiliated, and now she vows to burn down the city because she's pissed off and can't see a peaceful alternative. - Instead of just making squinty faces, Grey Worm now has the moral dilemma of witnessing Dany sending his lover off to die. They've sworn their lives to her, but he's bright enough to question whether she's just treating the former slaves as cannon fodder.

You also need to add that him and his sister were played a married couple who ended divorcing and it was AFTER the divorce that the writers decided they should do an incest storyline.

goodog posted:- Dany's fleet shows up at King's Landing outside of artillery range. Yeah I dunno I'm just a humble show watcher but that sounds better to me. The only sticking point is why send Missandei and not Tyrion, but you could explain it as Dany being like "Cersei doesn't like you, lets try something else". Then it back fires and she feels guilty for Missandei dying.

Dexter was an incredible decline from great to bad and then after hitting rock bottom it went ahead and started digging down and going even lower to depths previously unseen in television.

it's unfortunate that the finale of Dexter overshadowed the end of the Colin Hanks season where Dexter defeats Colin Hanks by injecting himself with horse tranquilizer only to reveal that it was a fakeout with no explanation as to why Dexter is immune to horse tranquilizer

goodog posted:- Dany's fleet shows up at King's Landing outside of artillery range. This would have been good. One thing I'd add is to have Dany still advocating for a first strike but Tyrion and Varys convince her to send Missandei as an emissary. That way both Dany and Grey Worm can channel their anger towards them and further drive Dany into hating all advisers.

I enjoy that they did the same budget saving trick as the battle of green fork - Tyrion gets knocked out and ends our POV. They reeaallly didnt want to have to shoot any more water scenes than neccesarry.

I said come in! posted:I was thinking that this morning. Like, how do you take an extra 12 months, only to write 6 episodes and have them turn out to be a sloppy mess? How do we go from how amazing season 1 was to this garbage? Loads of people keep saying this and I've even seen someone do that "season 1-7 DVD boxes" picture. But this isn't the same show as it was in season 1 because season 1-5 are based on some pretty decent books. It's changed because now the people who were just adapting are writing and they're really bad at it. I mean that's it, you can see it right here. Obama 2012 posted:Man, a lot of people who hate this show watch this show. I've always hated the show but I watch it because the people I live with want to - but I'm also curious to see what they do with the story. I don't get people who could watch 7 seasons of something and then just drop it when they decide it's bad now. Gotta see how it ends!

Cersei should have also killed Missandei at the top of the Red Keep in a giant fire to really taunt Dany instead of having Dany and crew roll up to within bow range. They only did that scene so they could get a shot of Drogon eat dirt and taking a dump in the background.

Dexter would have these actors come in and do a fantastic job for a few episodes like Jimmy Smits and especially Jon Lithgow (Edward James Olmos showed up too at peak hype for him but he didnt do much) and then the show would make the strangest most disappointing turns. unrelated, but I still think about the name Chicky Hines every so often. The dexter ending is hard to explain. It's a two minute sequence of him storming out of a hospital, sailing a boat into a storm, then a 20 second sequence of his being a lumberjack. Kind of have to watch it.

Also its lol as gently caress that terms like "Clegane-bowl" that you now see in traditional media pieces came from the same place that wrote a several hundred thousand word erotic fanfic about the series. Nobody ever brings that second part up.

Dexter driving itself off a cliff in that final season was something to behold. I think that was the first time I was following an SA thread about a show I was watching, really made for a fun experience.PostNouveau posted:In the last season, Deb finds out about Dexter killing people and doesn't turn him in. Then she decides she's in love with him. I love that the writers decided to put in a brother/sister romance after those same two actors had gotten divorced. Imagine if they had Cersei/Bronn clout and just refused to do scenes together. Hobo Clown fucked around with this message at 17:37 on May 6, 2019 |
