At this point I'm hoping season 8 turns out to be the TV equivalent of KH3, that is, fanfic to the max

Brienne and Tormund end up together!
Syrio Forel was J'aqen Hagaar!
Jaime and Bronn bro it out as mercenaries!
Tyrion is the secret Targaryen!
Bran can walk again!
Arya becomes Captain of the Queensguard!
The death of the Night King causes Planetos rotation to change and Khal Drogo comes back to life, punches Kit Harington in the face and then rides off with Dany on Drogon to go rape and pillage more villages!

didn't Arya use poison coins or something for 1 of her first hits? Like that was some creative poo poo. But when your writers can't be assed to come up with anything more sophisticated then zombie dragons in flaming swords, well...

There are so many things wrong with this lovely action sequence. It starts when the waif is chasing Arya and lineback shoves some dude like Arnold does to people in the Terminator.

This poo poo bag show denies the logic that it setup for itself. If syrio forel was in season 7 instead of 1 he would have killed meryn trant with a stick.

GoT is about actions having consequences. Or at least it used to be.

Violence in the early seasons was brutal, and characters were often permanently effected by their injuries.

Arya recovering this quickly and then having this strange chase sequence replete with wild acrobatics (don't forget the stabbings!) completely undermines the danger I felt earlier about violent events with characters. In the ongoing seasons it's only got more like the LotR movies.

They have to work with the material they are given. It's not really the actor's fault when the writing is so bad pussy.

Blame GRRM. Even though the books open with Ice Zombies and has dragons I didn't realise how heavily stupid and magic driven the books were. Watched a few Youtube videos and apparently there's Giant Apes, Lizardmen and Dwarfs and Cthulhu is knocking around somewhere?

Yeah, but those aren't really in any of the actual books outside of stories. Ice spiders being the exception. We were promised ice spiders and there better be ice spiders in the final season.

This is the show that did not include Lady Stoneheart but DID include their modified Dorne plotline which was somehow worse than the books.

poo poo like Dorne and Lady Stoneheart are gonna be the funniest things to watch GRRM try to reconcile and also shove into the closet. He's spent literally half a book on those two plotlines and it turns out that not only are they basically irrelevant to the main plot but he could have written them out entirely and nothing would be different.
