Admiral Ray posted:She doesn't act like that in the books. She's invited to Qarth by Pyat Pree and Xaro. Show Dany is a lot dumber and more reliant on her advisers than book Dany. apologies to georgie. i assumed it played out the same with xaro letting her in as part of his scheme. should've assumed it was d&D...

Did the Hound and Arya or Gendry and Arya or loving ANYONE and Arya ever have a conversation about "hey I want to be an explorer because that sounds really cool, and I would do that if I wasn't killing people horribly all the time" She wonders what's west of Westeros to the actress she befriends in Braavos.

Diet Crack posted:So Bran basically duped them all into doing his bidding for the Iron Throne. Yeah, HBO would have been happy to let the show take as long as they needed to finish the show, but D&D insisted on two seasons. And not just that, but two half seasons. If they had admitted to themselves that they were burnt out of the show and left it to more interested writers/producers and stepped away, it would have been for the better. Instead they phoned it in and everyone's let down by how apathetic the show ended up. I don't mind the actual endings for the characters (well, except for king bran, that was just dumb full stop), it's how abruptly they got there that makes it so disappointing.

The Lord of Light is real, and actually has real power over the world, to the point of being able to revive people who were dead. The people of Westeros continue to worship their false pantheon of not real gods

Away all Goats posted:The Lord of Light is real, and actually has real power over the world, to the point of being able to revive people who were dead. This is one of the funnier aspects of the mythology of the show, he’s a very active deity dropping resurrection, magic and miracles constantly and nobody gives a poo poo, here on Earth though we only had one resurrection and then 2000 years of worship.

It's interesting to hear the British side of things; to hear what all these British actors and actresses have to tell us about the world in general through their TV show. Their message for us seems to be, "It's no big deal at all when a kingdom decides to break off from a loose, mutually beneficial union of countries. It's a smooth, easy process. Just sever previous economic and political relationships for the sake of independence if you're suspicious of foreigners."

Can’t believe I avoided S8 spoilers and then marathoned that garbage fire this weekend. 3 things would’ve made it about 1000 times better: 1. Instead of going off the deep end and napalming all the innocent peasants (after seeing herself all series long as the protector of the innocent downtrodden and helpless) dragon lady should’ve gone paranoid psycho on Jon and ordered her troops to turn on the Northmen. 2. Instead of setting up Cersei as this evil bitch and making us hate her for the entire series only to just drop a ceiling on her, effectively suffering the same fate as all the innocent peasants and by analogy making her just another innocent victim of dragon lady’s madness, Arya should’ve ran into Jaimie on his way up, murdered him and taken his face, then gotten Cersei to admit to all her evilness, then drop the disguise as she’s gutting her. 3. Instead of just chuckling at Jon and not saying anything, the Night King and Jon should’ve dialogued a bit, talked about how Jon himself came back from the dead, why the undead even exist, etc. Then loving Jon should’ve been the one to kill him. Bonus round: Instead of defeating the Night King first he should’ve been the final villain, you know, so that an entire loving series of nonstop ‘winter is coming’ isn’t dealt with in one episode, midseason, and winter lasts like a day.

Bleck posted:hey everyone check out how much I don't care. please punch my Cool Card when you have completed checking it out I do care. I am one of the few people who enjoyed this show beginning to end. The last episode pretty clearly spelled out the theme of the show, what with Drogon melting the throne. The writers mostly threw the supernatural poo poo by the wayside, except when narratively convenient, likely because GRRM himself doesn't have answers to things like who Azor Ahai is. Once we got to the show's version of The House of the Undying I pretty much accepted that the book prophecies were going to be given short shrift. I was disappointed in this and maybe I adjusted my expectations accordingly. But who knows, maybe Lady Stoneheart will appear next episode. Regardless of how one feels about the show, Game of Thrones will be an object lesson in why adapting an unfinished work is a bad idea.

Did anyone talk about how dirty they did Jon? This guy did the hard thing at every turn. He saved the freefolk, the Night's Watch, his family, retook Winterfell, united a bunch of squabbling bitches to fight the Army of the Dead, and literally plunged Lightbringer into Dany's heart, and his reward was being sent to Siberia. Jesus Christ he has a worse life than Wolverine

Why did Littlefinger bother plotting and backstabbing? Bronn went from an illiterate sellsword to the lord of the single most powerful kingdom (especially with no more Lannister gold) and the Master of Coin in the span of like 7 years.

Can't wait for the Ayra, and Drogon spin off where she becomes a lumberjack. "Noooo Drogon stop burning up all the trees I need to sell those". That's what we call flame maple.

"She was mad all along, we were just too blind to see it. It's important that we learn from these mistakes and move forward. I suggest we crown the scary tree boy with strong psychopathic tendencies, a complete disinterest in anything and a history of using and discarding those beneath him for his own ends. And lets give him a borderline mocking title."

Or there's a lot more to his character and he has emotions, intelligence, agency etc, perhaps a personal quest for revenge against the 3 eyed raven or the children of the forest. What they did was hint at both and not bother to explore either way, instead just rushing his death so they could skip to King's Landing.
