Re: Game of Thrones

[philstar22]

I'm not watching the final. I will read a recap. And then on rewatches I will ignore season 8. Just. No. If this is the route they wanted to go, they needed to do a lot more to make it believable. So many people keep saying it was foreshadowed, and sure, maybe. But that's not the same thing as believable character development. They needed to make it gradual. Going from only targeting legitimate targets to suddenly being totally cool with civilian casualties? That makes no sense whatsoever.

I'm not sure I've been this angry about the end of a show since How I Met Your Mother.

Game of Thrones offered them money to do two full seasons 7 & 8. The offered them money for a season 9. I hope these two writers are remembered for fucking this up FOREVER.

Re: Game of Thrones

Ugh. And there were ways they could have started this development earlier. I've seen people talk about how this is perfectly believable because Dany had done things like this before. Except, no. Going from no civilian deaths to all the civilian deaths is a big deal. And would not just happen after one line about the civilians not fighting against their oppressor. That's not who Dany is. There were ways to make her go dark that would have been believable.

Sadly, there seems to be a good amount of positive response to this, for some reason I can't fathom (check out the Entertainment Weekly coverage for example).

It is the lowest rated episode of GoT ever....

Re: Game of Thrones

[philstar22]

That's good because it was really bad.

She went mad, because of THE BELLS!!!!

Lmao, I'm sorry but that's the most amazingly stupid thing I've seen for a while on TV, like who okayed that??

If it had been threaded in more naturally, sure, her anger and heartbreak last episode was clear and on-display but like... that still doesn't at all justify a complete flipped-switch of personality because someone on the staff wanted to blow-up the Red Keep with dragon-fire.

It looked cool, but it made no goddamn narrative sense.

Suddenly, we all want TO MURDER. The fuck?

Re: Game of Thrones

[philstar22]

Agreed. It makes no sense. It was terrible writing. And you'll notice that while other actors on the show have come out with statements about the episode (Lena did for one), Emilia has not, nor have the showrunners. A small part of me has a slight hope they know they screwed up. But probably not.

Re: Game of Thrones

[nightscale]

Someone linked me to a video with Emilia having a red-carpet interview somewhere and lets just say, IT WAS FOREWARNING OF WHAT WAS TO COME.

BEAUTIFUL.

THE ONE FOR TYRION'S ACTOR GETS ME EVERY TIME. xD

Re: Game of Thrones

There was a good theory on reddit that she has ear problems from riding dragons and changing altitude too quickly. It makes more sense to me than the complete lack of explanation that the writers offered.

Re: Game of Thrones

[nightscale]

Sadly, even that I feel is giving the writers far too much credit.

Re: Game of Thrones

[el_regrs]

It probably is.

Re: Game of Thrones

ayrt

It is, but it makes me feel better to try to make sense out of this fuckery.

Re: Game of Thrones

[nightscale]

Aha, in that case: carry on my friend.

Re: Game of Thrones

[(Anonymous)]

I think some of the plots could have worked and made sense if they'd given themselves another two full length seasons to develop them properly instead of trying to cram everything into six episodes. Some things were just too WTF to work at all.

Re: Game of Thrones

[philstar22]

I agree completely.
