Game of thrones - discussion about the good or bad post your thoughts & reaction

[crwth]

I guess we have different definitions of madness.
Anyway, SHE IS MAD !

What would you feel if your "right-hand maiden" Misandei, has been killed in front of you brutally?
What would you feel if your feeling betrayed by those around you?
What would you feel ever since in season 1 you are being belittled?

I think Dany has reasons to do that but killing innocents? Maybe that's just what drove the line. A line that could never be uncrossed.

Can't wait for the next episode.

The series has been... not completely faithful. Otherwise, it would have to run another five seasons. You know, it’s complex. I’m a little sad, actually. I wish we had a few more seasons. It can also be... traumatic. Because sometimes their creative vision and your creative vision don’t match, and you get the famous creative differences thing — that leads to a lot of conflict. You get totally extraneous things like the studio or the network weighing in, and they have some particular thing that has nothing to do with story, but relates to ‘Well this character has a very high Q Rating so let’s give him a lot more stuff to do,” George RR Martin said.
 

Even actors from the show, including the likes of Conleth Hill (Lord Varys), Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister), Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen), Pilou Asbaek (Euron Greyjoy) and Kit Harington (Jon Snow) have openly voiced their distaste with how the show is concluding.

There was something from watching these fans reactions one after another after another in which one stuck out at me for some reason as to why she did what she did.
Daenerys did what she did at kings landing as she saw she can only rule out of fear and not being merciful to her enemies and yes she viewed all of kings landing and their entire populace as her enemy even if they surrendered she knew they wouldnt abide with her taking it over because the people who fled from neighboring towns and villages where all coming there to be protected by her enemy cersie. So she viewed them all as siding with the enemy and so were willing to accept the same fate as her if the queen lost this war.
She had a feeling her grasp of taking it over was fading with her advisors turning against her and even jon not believing in her. So she felt alone in the world as the last targaryn as it was said by several other characters over the span of these past seasons. "It must be a terrible feeling." as said to jon by the maestar at the wall.
At the moment where daenerys made the decision to torch the entire city she was probably thinking she would not be able to rule the inhabitants there. And it would make more sense to just take back the city or what was left of it and start a new with loyal subjects and not have anybody from the old kings landings populace try and usurp her from the throne in defiance.
You have to remember where she started from nothing and if you watch her actions from the previous episodes she had to burn those who stood in her way or she would of never even reached it to where she ended up in the last episode.

I think this was the video which explained what she did was what she was intended to do since she wanted to make it to sit on the iron throne.

Even though it was unacceptable to many who watch the show. But then again.. It is just a show.

Their show was a little bit off when season 8 was aired. Actors and actresses expressed their thoughts about the ending on their interviews. Emilia sarcastically saying that this is the best season ever. Kit tells the interviewer that the ending was disappointing.

If this would be the decision of the producer of the show, having another 5 seasons that would be cool to me. MY GOD, Cersei died because of rocks after all this time of her torturing people this how she ends lol. Also, George RR Martin said that they forgot how to write a show. LOL. Hahahah, although for some people GOT season 8 is disappointing. For me it's still cool and fun to watch.

[rdbase]

^^ Exactly. It is just a show and for entertainment purposes.
Just watch enjoy and if it ends the way it ends then so be it. As if hollywood hasnt disappointed peoples expectations before even if those who are saying "Ive wasted the past 9 years of my life watching this and it is ending like this!?" Oh well.

On a better note
The nights king came out with a farewell video to arya in a music ballad.

I will change the title to the thread so to inform those we are talking about the final one and becareful due to spoilers.
You have been warned ahead of time!

GoT went from potentially the greatest series of all-time with an epic storyline to the dumbest, most idiotic, pointless waste of time and money in the history of tv.

It's almost criminal what they've done to this show.  

If a retail store utilized this bait-and-switch tactic to sell a product you'd be able to sue them.

[JSRAW]

Glad no spoilers, can't wait for the next episode.

Dear if you are from 2018 then let me give you heads up that you are in future now, its 2019 and GOT Ended today.

If you are talking about today's episode then its all fine. Cheers Best episode ever wink wink

Just saw the last episode, I can understand lot of no satisfaction the last season have brought.... it was just the best strongest maintaining building up serie of our time, with best special effects and lots of interesting individuals with all a very good background etc

for my feeling the season was way to short and to much @ once, the story could be better and where i'm always unhappy when movies or series being stretched out until it get ridiculously bad, This is the one serie that exactly needed that stretch of a few more seasons ........

Also even when Dany was killed the king choice (not that he's a bad choice) the punishments and all where going way to fast and with no good thought, I have a lot to say but its pointless the serie has been made and thats it I guess.....

[El duderino_]

OP


Change the TOPIC to movie/serie hang out discussion thread or something so we can flush away this lats season from our minds.............

-or would we need some sub sections etc if its movie/series etc ??

[yesiam6]

Worse ending than dexter in my opinion the last episode was just plain painful to watch some cool shots in the first quarter
but other than that it was full of bad writing and plotholes what a shit show
"Are you the master of grammar now too?" made me physically cringe
