Honestly I cant wait for this fuckin poo poo to be done with. The speculation. The endless parsing of teasers. loving ALL of it.

I was an instant fan of the show but its not THAT great and will be rightly remembered for being corny as hell

I met someone and we were talking about TV shows- I mentioned I liked GoT- and the response, "all I know is it's a show about rape" :wtc: Welp, see ya!

Like lol suddenly I'm a loving apologist for rape because I like this show

There is an awful lot of rape.

Name a woman on the show no one tried to rape. There's a couple

Yeah but it's not about rape

It's not like oh hey I gotta tune in to The Rape Hour to get my fill of rape, oh will my insatiable thirst for rape ever be satisfied? Talk about not giving someone the benefit of the doubt :shrug:

e: what I'm trying to say is, can I get some validation that maybe this was just a really lame person, because lots of women like the show too?

TV Show is already the canon story in the majority of people's minds. I wonder if GRRM is bitter about that.

Well it sure didn't inspire him to write any faster :rolleyes:

You forgot the tree elf fire grenades :laugh: And we want more dickless love story with Grey Worm. Really, who gives a poo poo? So much screen time, in every season, wasted on pointless bullshit. Will Arya get rid of her sword? Will she?? Won't she?? Who cares!??

To be honest, I was hoping Cleganebowl wouldn't happen. In the books Browne meets the priest and there's a unnamed character who fits the hound's description though the priest explicitly says that the hound is dead and buried and then she moves on and we never see them again and Sandor has a nice little sendoff where he's out his old life behind him and implied to have found a measure of peace exiting the story on a high note.

I liked that ending for him.

Ah yes, the best part of the book. "That interesting character you like? Died while you were at the movies! Probably, anyway! No, you can't have a cool flashback sequence of it!"

I'm generally just pretty glad that I only started reading the books the year DwD came out and avoided the show entirely after watching a few scenes that looked a lot less grandiose than my mental image had been from the book.

Spfcly the tourney where they say the King used his superhuman medieval general shout to get the mountain to chill in the book, and he just kinda grumbles it in the show.

My favourite of this is Vaes Dothrak. In the books it's like the biggest city ever with palaces of every architectural style able to simultaneously house every Dothraki in the world.

In the show it's literally just a pile of poo poo.

The Eyrie was dope but how did the Moon Door go down into the valley below when it is in the middle of the floor of the castle? I forget if they changed the layout in the show after S1.

So is this stupid show coming back or are they just going to show more gay trailers forever because that's what 11 months of the year feels like under normal production but it's now been more than a year since the last season ended so what the gently caress, can we please not wait anymore? Jesus

I hated Roz and thought she had wayy too much screen time, the first person they tried to make an "important" character by having her interact with every person in Westeros when it just wasn't earned, interesting or relevant.

It was amazing how it was such a huge thing for eight years and then <crickets>

No-one even talks about the good parts. Just wiped from the collective conscious.

The suspense was the good part, and having everything resolved so terribly kinda kills all the impact of the buildup that came before it. It's the ultimate shaggy dog story.
