Wayne Cubed Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Yeaaaaa... I’ll be glad when this is done. It’s been a rough past 2 seasons and the writing just hasn’t been great. It’s all a bit messy and rushed. It’s not where the plot lines have gone it’s how they’ve got there. Dany can go crazy, Arya can give up her revenge, Jamie’s moral compass can break and Tyrion can become an idiot but man these needed time to develop and breathe. Oh and nothing like the baddest, most evil women dying by some poor infrastructure! She dies just like extra #23! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digital Spy And as far as he's concerned, there only are seven books. But he struck an agreement with David [Benioff] and Dan [Weiss], the showrunners of the series, that he would not publish the final two books until the series has completed. https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a27454564/game-of-thrones-george-rr-martin-finished-last-two-books/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Things Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Wow, what an episode. I was exhausted by the time the credits rolled. Cleagen Bowl? Holy cow, was I squirming in my seat when The Mountain started squeezing The Hounds eyes. Just a question on a minor aspect of the episode... Was there any significance on that girl that was Varyus' spy? She appeared in a number of scenes in KL, but I believe was killed by fire, after Arya tried to save her. Was she the same girl that showed up in the soup line at Winterfell? Just curious to see if anyone has any theories about her. Anyway... I agree with most of you that the last two seasons could've been spread out a bit longer, but I'm still loving it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixxxer Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 Great episode last night. One fo the best scenes for me was the Varys' execution. Tyrion being honest with him about his betrayal and laying a simpathetic hand on Vary's forearm Varys' takes that action like a hug. Then Drogon appearing from the shadows to finish him off was perfect. The camera goes to Jon and he looks at Dany, wondering if that wasn't a bit too much. I don't who said a dozen pages back "***** be crazy" as a way to describe this episode, you were not wrong, my friend, even though it wasn't plural.

Unless you believe the poetic justice of the whole thing is so that Cersei can watch everything be destroyed in front of her before she finally dies.

That little girl was sitting with Varys in the crypt during the battle at Winterfell. Apparently she was one of Varys little birds. Varys was trying to poison Dany and the girl worked in the kitchen. That's why she was reporting to Varys that Dany wasn't eating. 2 minutes ago, SDS said: I was thinking it was reminiscent of the cathedral/church thing that she had destroyed with all her enemies inside many seasons ago. That's exactly what it was when Cersei destroyed all her enemies with wildfire. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awwufelloff Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 (edited) My thoughts on GOT season 8 so far. They rushed a lot of character development. HBO said go ahead and have more episodes, the directors said no we only needed 6, such a fail right there... At the end of season 2 in the house of the undying we see dany walk through the red keep in kings landing. We all thought it was ice, but it was ash. This is the ending we should have all predicted. She became the mad queen, only because she was forced to because of how crazy Cersei was. Bran and the knights king story arc bothers me though, the rest I’m okay with. Also from earlier in season 4/5 we see Bran have a vision of a dragon over kings landing, last night we saw that take place. I guess Dany and John had a choice to make. Either destroy Cersei and Kings Landing first. (which would have been even easier before episode 3) or to go fight the knight king first before his army gets even bigger and nearly impossible to defeat. I'm slowly understanding the directors mindset. I still hated episode 4 the most. She finally listened to Lady Tyrell. "Be A Dragon" It's the only way she would be beat somebody who destroyed everyone at the Citadel with wildfire, including her family. You simply cannot negotiate with someone like that. They both ended up being "mad queens" in the end. I do really wish they would have beaten Cersei first, taken the seven kingdoms, fell back from Winterfell and made the last fight. Fire Vs Ice, winter is coming, the endless night that was developed for 8 seasons the last 2 episodes. I kind of wish I saw that. John and Dany vs the knight king in kings landing I think would have been a better ending. When Cersei and Jamie are in the red keep in the room with the map of the 7 kingdoms on the floor while hearing dany in the dragon in the background, also one of my favorite parts of the episode. They are both left wondering was all this worth it. Pushing Bran out of that window resulted in all of this. We finally got Cleganebowl as well, thought it was the best fight of the series and the cinematography was incredible throughout the entire episode. Does anyone think the horse was Bran?

Awwufelloff Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 For all those saying Dany went mad queen too quick. It was gradual to me, and then she gives John the final chance for them to be queen and King and he refuses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that first bolded section true? I thought they were told to limit the number of episodes. If so, bad, bad move. As for the second bolded section, that's very possible. And I knew from episode one of this season, when Cersei didn't send her troops to Winterfell, that the NK would be defeated. Kind of killed the suspense.

RaoulDuke79 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 Holy moly.....I take my blood pressure periodically throughout the week before bed. I definitely shouldn't have taken it during this episode. I may need to seek medical attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
