I hope the remaining dragon has some frog DNA in it so it can switch genders and impregnate itself. This show has dragons, titties, but no dragon titties? Shameful.

Drunken Baker posted:It looked to me like all the zombies were just trying to kill everyone and they wanted a scene where Jon faces down against a dragon. And the person who made this argument to me was specifically saying the Dragon was just trying to keep Jon away too, not kill him. Just... inconvenience him? Sorry, I should have made that clearer. it's like how brans ravens apparently drew in the NK, i can see the dragon being used to hold jon off, but it wasn't very well communicated.

Unless you say you are a nazi you... you aren't a nazi. I've had a couple freakouts at me and got banned from an FB group because I said Sansa should have been dead ages ago because she's a STRONG WOMEN or whatever. Except she's not. She's just an idiot who should have been dog food after popping out an heir or two. Speaking of, I honestly wonder if she's infertile. Supposedly Ramsay slammed it to her every night but she's not pregnant? She never got pregnant? Was she taking pennyroyal the whole time? Because surely Ramsay would have noticed that poo poo and hung the maester or whatever out to dry, right? Even back then the timelines were kinda confusing and I'm still not really sure how long Sansa was in Ramsay's possession. And if she is and the spoilers are true, does that mean Bran is going to somehow knock up someone? Because otherwise the Starks are a dead house, too. I hope we get a Harry Potter 7 part 2 ending. "15 years later" and everyone's in bad makeup and poo poo. E: If you want to kill a dragon, it's super not hard to kill Rhaegal during The Long Night. Have him go down a champion protecting Dany until Jorah gets there while Drogon is shaking off zombies. Or have him die protecting Jon from Viserion. Both of those give you sufficient time to not have to resurrect another ice dragon and it gives Dany more reason to yell about not being reciprocated by the north.

What exactly are a bunch of birds going to do to the Night King? He had the high ground. He should be immune to mosquitoes and other irritations, he has a goddamn ice dragon. All he has to do is chill and resurrect every hour or so once the fighting begins. This show is filled with own goals, over and over. Also: uber_stoat posted:it's because it's Her Turn.

Regarding Pod the Rod, I remember some turbulence about his junk back in the day. The wise amongst us realised his dong was the real prince that was promised and others, jealous of his majesty, argued that Tyrion paid off the concubines to simply say he was good at fukkin' in order to bolster his confidence. Where do YOU stand?

Der Shovel posted:This season is bad, but this last episode was HORRIBLE. Yeah, I feel like on paper the ideas and where we're going isn't awful but it's being executed so shittily it's amazing. It's not a budget problem but entirely lazy writing - I have to believe even the people writing/directing this are aware of how dumb the scenes are but just don't care. The time jumps are really getting to me. I know there's no time left for the episodes but you just can't skip months between scenes with no transitions. Like, the fleet gets wrecked and they wash up, next scene cersei is letting people in to the castle to act as a meat shield, next scene is the survivors of the fleet in a castle talking about how cersei is letting people in to the city and then the next scene is them OUTSIDE kings landing. (not exactly but you get the idea) ALSO isn't it supposed to be winter? It was snowing in kings landing last season. hemale in pain fucked around with this message at 13:49 on May 7, 2019 |

(not exactly but you get the idea) It's been a long, long time since I saw the older seasons, but I'm sure there were a few time where, before embarking on huge journeys, there would be a scene of them checking out a map and going over it. Sure, a LOT is happening now and most people are aware of the map just in their own heads. But it was a nice touch and grounded things. Gave everything a bit of weight. (if it happened, lol I could be pulling this from my rear end.) hemale in pain posted:ALSO isn't it supposed to be winter? It was snowing in kings landing last season. Wayyyyyy back in season 1 I remember someone made this diagram of how, exactly a planet would have to rotate and its trajectory around the sun in order for them to have 7 years of winter every x years and GRRM explicitly said it's all magic. So you COULD say that with the Night King dead then winter is ending... but there was zero talk of this in the show and now I'm doing what I was complaining about a few posts ago. Writing the show for the showrunners in order to defend it lol. They're hacks and think King's Landing is now on a dusty plain because it's cheaper/whatever.

ElGroucho posted:Looks like the veil has been lifted from TVIV's eyes I've seen a LOT of hate for the episode and yeah, it sucks (don't they all since Oberyn's death?) but I got a "Game of Thrones" vibe from the scene where Tyrion and Varys were having their back and forth about what to do with Dany. Feels like people just wanted another episode of non-stop cgi sword mashing. I think that's just what I like. I liked all the talking and politics and backstabbing. The little fight with Ned and Jaime stabbing a dude in the eye in season 1 was icing on the cake. Arcsquad12 posted:Starkbucks lol

They teased scheming Sansa back at the end of season 5 or 6 but then the next season Littlefinger sold her off to Ramsay and she spent the entire season getting tortured so Theon could get some character development. That's the most disgusting thing about Sansa's rape scene. The scene is not about how she's been victimized, it's about how Theon feels bad because he's powerless to help someone. Most of it happens offscreen with Theon doing his Reekiest Reek tremble. Oh and Brienne failed to rescue Sansa when she said she would because she ran off to execute Stannis instead of standing watch. This is never brought up in the show again despite Brienne being a woman of her word. She just fails to tell Sansa how she ran off and betrayed her oath to follow a personal vendetta.

Still unironically hoping for Qyburn to have a legion of Frankenstein monsters ready to make the unsullied look like even bigger chumps. Also what happened to the zombie hand he stole? Probably just a one off moment to show he's a sick gently caress, but I'd have loved a few scenes with him experimenting on prisoners using it.

He grafted it onto the Mountain along with a second head to make a zombie zaphod beeblebrox. The Hound pins down both of the mountains arms and then the third arm pops up to start shanking the Hound.

Drunken Baker posted:Also has anyone else noticed this trend with people who vehemently defend the show? I've had people block me on Facebook for posting, on my own status, that the last season of a show I've gone to bat for for years is terrible. I own every season (except the last) on BluRay and even bought season 3 twice just so let someone borrow it before season 4. I never read the books but I was a huge supporter of this show getting a fan base so they could keep making it. "Why do you have to ruin things for everyone?!" By posting the obvious flaws in logic and drop in writing quality I've had some GoT fans question their favorite show which counts as a personal attack. To question season 8 of GoT you HAVE to hate women, by the way.
