This show has had 7 main James Bond movie actors. Theyve all been the best actors in the show outside of Rob's wife and theyre all gone and thats the biggest issue with current show.

JT Jag posted:I've been saying this all along, all the dark, gritty low fantasy stuff from the first seasons is just buildup to a wild high fantasy finish High fantasy finish is fine, but the "THIS CHARACTER JUST HAS TO MEET UP WITH THIS OTHER CHARACTER AGAIN" that shrinks the universe ridiculously is the issue. The show has become all contrivances, while the book/early seasons were about how decisions and chance basically screw over everyone and life basically fucks things over. The biggest example is that book Brienne couldn't find the Stark girls but met both of them almost immediately on looking in the show. That was a "cute" change at the time, but then EVERYTHING started happening as convenient as possible like that.

NowonSA posted:As for telling Dany, I think Jon just gets that diary and then tells her. Very real possibility to just wait until the dead are taken care of to drop that bomb too, that would be my play in his shoes. Then if he's skeeved from the incest he can just kind of break off the romance one-sidedly, he's too important a figure for him not to stay a major power player in their alliance just because he broke her heart. Targs are SUPER about incest - that's their entire family.

Karmine posted:I’m not saying you’re wrong about the bolded part, but I dunno, it makes sense to me that, when everyone is convening at Winterfell, people who haven’t seen each other in a while will see each other again and we can follow up on/resolve hanging threads of story. Early, it was hugely about travel time and area, so people would miss each other due to that. Now people are around due to speed of plot. Also, there are some little differences that became big now, like character replacements such as Gendry being connected to everyone now.

teagone posted:The universe was well built and expanded through the first several seasons. Now with every character's storyline converging towards one another, the writing would naturally bring more characters together. Sure it may be full of contrivances, but the universe is basically contracting rapidly into the finishing climax so I'm ok with getting everyone together by any means necessary, even if the writing isn't as strong as it was before. That's why I call it stupid fun. I enjoy seeing people meet back up, but it's oh so silly. As I said in my last post, it wouldn't be so bad, but the character merging they did means that everyone basically met everyone at this point, which makes it a ridiculously tiny world.

Bip Roberts posted:Why did they settle of 6 episodes? Is the actor per-episode cost too high with the ensemble? HBO started the "final season split" with Sopranos, and shows like Breaking Bad, etc. picked that up and it worked. Basically, you budget out a shoot for one season, and then split it into two because you make more money overall spreading it out like that.

Xanderkish posted:My counterpoint to this is that having Brienne wander around for like a book trying unsuccessfully to find two characters whose locations we know only to have it end on a cliffhanger ending is worse than something contrived happening so the plot can move forward. I complained about that too and hated those sections of the book (I liked how it showed the perspective of regular townsfolk but also was annoyed in reading futile quests), but there is a nice middle ground between the two. This isn't a love/hate dichotomy either, but just describing the difference in feel between the shows start and now. I still think its fun, just a different type of fun.

veni veni veni posted:Sorry every GOT post I make is poo poo I forgot, but what was the dynamic between Bran and Jamie? Like, I remember Jamie paralyzed him by pushing him out the window while he was boning his sister, but why again doesn't everyone know Jamie did it and did Jamie know that he lived? Jaime pushed him because he thought it was what Cersei wanted because the alternative would have probably been he, his sister, and his 3 kids being executed. Can't remember if the main Starks know now due to Brans script reading powers, but he could tell anyone he wants if he feels like it. Anyone else who knows that would matter is dead.

Antifa Turkeesian posted:Max Von Sydow is not a disappointment. You can be disappointed that he wasn’t a horror show, but he’s better than a lot of things and quite frankly Bran could do a lot worse than learn from Blofeld. This show has relied on James Bond actors from the start and we have none now. The best we have left is a John Wick villain.

From what I remember: 1) Book Catelyn does the most stupid stuff starting with convincing Ned to become Hand 2) Rob does the second most stupid stuff mainly because he gets all SUPER NED HONORABLE PERSON in cases when he should be playing politics with his forces and then doesn't give a gently caress about honor when he wants a woman, then goes right back into super honor mode. Ned was honorable to a fault, whereas Rob was only honorable due to convenience 3) Ned is really stupid because he's all honor to the detriment of everything starting with the initial execution of the deserter being all about honorable leader being the executioner, and not about *why* he deserted

D-Pad posted:It's explicitly stated that the warlocks had to rely on stuff like sleight of hand until the dragons were born and their real magic started working again. Magic being dead may have been the wrong term, more like dormant. But there was definitely very little of it until the dragons hatched and none to speak of in the 7 kingdoms. Didn't Varys say the magic made with his severed dick worked? Can't remember.

Fritz Coldcockin posted:I was literally making a mental list of People Who Are Going To Die In The Next Couple Episodes. So far, I've got Theon, Ser Jorah, Jaime, Pod, and Davos. Jaime should be fine, I expect an ironic Cersei killing from him. Davos has no narrative purpose, nor does Jorah now so they're gone. Oddly, I think Theon is okay for a bit.

Sydin posted:Jorah, Grey Work, Tyrion, and Theon are 100% gone. Kinda got vibes for Arya, Davos and Jamie too but we'll see. Everybody else is a coin flip. I assume Dany and Jon are gonna make it out at a minimum, also probably Sansa. You guys are forgetting a lot of narrative beats in your death predictions, and the showrunners are predictable with those. Bronn was sent to kill Jaime and Tyrion, there has to be drama there, so one or both have to live, for instance. Cersei has to meet one of her brothers again too. Etc.

Sydin posted:This episode built him up dying so hard. If he doesn't then I have no idea what the show even does with him. The writers clearly don't know how to write him smart any more, to the point where they realized they hosed up so bad they had to have several scenes this episode where characters go "Look Tyrion you've hosed up a ton but we know you're still SO SMART." Nah, this episode telegraphed him making non bad advice/plans for the first time since Kings Landing.

Nail Rat posted:She doesn't look 12 at all she just has a very round head. When she makes any kind of facial expression besides boredom she definitely looks like she's in her 20s. They've been hiding her body growth by dressing her like a boy or ninja her entire time on the show so she doesn't look to age as much as everyone else and everyone still thinks of her as a girl. On top of that, a lot of people just don't like seeing people they knew as preteens having sex in general because they get natually paternal/maternal over them.

Xanderkish posted:This also fascinates me. I'm sure plenty of people who complain about it complain because the show's gone in directions they don't like, which I get, because I felt that way about Hannibal season 3. It's for those people who seem to have not enjoyed the show for a long time that I don't get. I mean, I have enough of a problem finishing shows I actually like. And even when a show starts going in a direction I don't like (again, like Hannibal season 3), I just, you know, stop watching, because I don't have the time or inclination to watch a show that bores/upsets me. What attracts a pereson to watch a show that just makes them so angry all the time? Shows can get so bad theyre funny enough to hatewatch - Dexter Shows can be bad but still surprise you with legitimately great episodes - Westworld S2 Game of Thrones is like the latter, along with the added bonus of people who read the books wanting to know the cliffnotes of how GRRM wrote the endings of characters
