So if GoT was only 6 seasons then it wouldn't have shown as much strength.

Casual internet use is a huge advantage GoT had (and the Writer's strike really hurt Lost), but the crux of my point is that it took years to really get the ball rolling with GoT, whereas Lost was big pretty instantly (which also gave it room to have people drop it).

So while I'd consider them in the same class, I can accept GoT being bigger but it required time and pervasive internet presence to overcome the HBO subscription barrier to get the comparable numbers.

You're saying schools arent teaching different classes of numbers and that's just not true.

https://www.wfla.com/national/survey-most-americans-say-arabic-numerals-should-not-be-taught-in-school/2012373609

56% of Americans think Arabic Numerals should not be taught in schools.

I blame the dumbing down of our education system. Instead of teaching students about the difference between a number and a numeral, and teaching them about different classes of numbers like natural numbers, whole numbers, integers, fractions, decimals, rational numbers, real numbers, complex numbers, etc., our dumbed-down schools just teach students that there are just "numbers" and they are objective, universal, and real, rather than abstract imaginary objects. I bet most students don't even know that decimals are a way of expressing sums of fractions.

Please stop pretending that you know what schools do.

In terms of being a cultural phenomenon, there are few others that can match the impact it had, and even fewer that can say they remained such a cultural phenomenon for so long.

Yeah, it definitely has a tier of its own

beyond that I can think of maybe LOST and Breaking Bad being cultural phenomenons during their time but I'd argue neither got close to Game of Thrones' level

Nah, Lost was bigger

I think I would've felt good about Jaime if they made one small change...

His arc was one of redemption. But in the end, he still had the ties of his love of his sister... they just needed to frame his ride south as one of heroism, and not one of relapse. "You've seen the dragons... if I don't go, she will die. And she's my sister". Make Jaime's ride one of sacrifice, where he's giving up his newfound place in life to save his sister who will die without him.

Given where the show was when the episode started, I liked it. Still some pretty dumb dialogue, but some good stuff in there in general.

Loved the small council. Can you imagine... somewhere in season 3, someone said "hey, who are all the characters we like that are just like, around?" and drew up that list of people... "this will rule the kingdoms one day". Bronn + Tyrion + Davos + Brienne is just a fucking super team.

"All stand for King Bran the Broken" can you imagine seeing Tyrion say that, with those other characters around the table, back during season 3? That would've been so off-kilter, it would be taken as a joke.

People don't get it. She lost her 2 Dragons, the closest friend of hers, 1 of her advisors was plotting against her to kill her, Westeros people don't like her and other things too.
Is it that hard to believe that she went angry?

Angry, sure.

Genocidal maniac? Not so much.

Dany has always been ruthless. She's never been "indiscriminate murder". It's why the "mad queen" angle is a hard sell. She doesn't show signs of madness.

There's an in-universe explanation of her being turned mad, given Bran had a 'vision' of Dany and the mad king going "burn them all".

If it's revealed that Bran unknowingly time-travel messed with her the way he did Hodor, then it would be more acceptable of a turnout.

Hell, I'd love for this last episode to show Dany had no control over the decision to burn them all, realizes she ruined everything, and just leaves Westeros (or kills self idc). Then we're left with people picking up the pieces.

It's a little rougher. You definitely need luck to nab saps for VC and have bodies that give you value via fox and burglar. But at 10-7 ranks it's not the worst matchup

we're not talking about 10-7, we're talking about players who have consistently been top 50 finishers, points leaders, former world champions, etc.

Yeah, but I originally meant the point in terms of the field being 90% warrior.

surprised nobody's taking Tesspionage Rogue into Grandmasters

What does Tesspionage Rogue...beat exactly?

Like...pretty sure it loses to Tempo Rogue. Pretty sure it loses to giants mage. And pretty sure it loses to Warrior (control warrior is probably a decently close matchup, but still, if they have DK Boom on 7 and generate a few Omega Devastators, I don't think it matters how many 1 cost cards you draw).

I feel like I've got close to 75% winrate against Warrior. Maybe skewed because the games take so long, but Warrior moves so slow that you can usually win it. Guaranteed if you draw into Boom yourself, because that turns your Tesses into "add 20 cards to your deck"

So, since Bran warged to Hodor in the past and made him get mentally damaged, does that mean we can insinuate when Bran had his "burn them all!" vision, it was him actually causing Dany to go that route?

ned doesn't grant a trial to the night's watch deserter in literally episode 1 and he's literally the standard of morality in the show's universe. robb doesn't grant a trial to lord karstark and it's tragic only because it's a shit political move to him. the tarlys are executed for treason, which they are literally in the process of committing when dany executes them.

Literally what.

Dany is not in any position of lordship over them. Them not kneeling could be any number of things but it sure as shit can't be called treason.

Will literally pleads guilty to desertion of the NW which he knows carries a penalty of death.

Karstark is a vassal to Robb (not a POW or conquered individual) and admits his crimes.

Tarlys are vassals of the Tyrells, who swore service to Dany.

If there were more scenes for Dany+Jorah and Dany+Missandei recently, we could embrace the swap sooner.

It just doesn't really feel earned. Alluded to, but not really earned.

I had a thought in the shower - would've liked for Dany to NOT go mad queen, but Cersei set up a wildfire trap that basically caused a chain reaction when Dany attacked the Red Keep. Turn the populace against Dany, so that when everyone thinks Dany went bad and killed all the innocents, she would snap and start roasting.

I don't know what the right term is but people have definitely given into the hate. I don't want to tell people they are wrong for dislike the show - that's their opinion and all that. certain people just seem eager to complain.

The thing is - this is the end. For how directionless characters and seasons have been, for how pointless certain plotlines have been, there has always been more show. Now, there's not. And while there's no pleasing everyone, there are people who feel ultimately that the characters they fell in love with and stuck it out for have just been done unwell. And it's a bitter taste.

Like, for the people who disliked the Battle for Winterfell... at least there was whatever came after with Cersei. And now that's resolved.

And she didn't take the slave army for herself, she literally gave them the choice. That was the entire purpose of that scene. Breaker of chains. "You are free. Anyone who wishes to leave can do so with no punishment. But if you stand with me, you can serve me as free men."

empty words and empty offer, the slaves only knew one way of life: obey

remember the slaves begging to go back into slavery because she fucked up their culture/tradition/economy?

Sure, but that's not about Dany being ruthless, that's about her being naive and inexperienced.

She was welcomed into other cities as the Breaker of chains.

The Dothraki thing was pretty ruthless, but it was literally the same thing she's always done - remove the head of power to acquire power without harming innocents.

she literally kills her first husband by going mad with power... then she burns slavers and rapers and pillagers (then becoming the queen of those rapers and pillagers), but that's ok those people are morally corrupt and she's seen as the good guy

Her first husband died because she pleaded with him to protect innocents.

She killed slavers/rapists/pillagers for the purpose of freeing slaves (innocents).

She became queen of them because she was advised to, which was then shown to be the wrong course of action, setting up the theme that Daenerys's personal decisions were better than the calculating ones given to her by advisors.

Hey, remember when she imprisoned her dragons because they killed ONE. INNOCENT. GIRL?

Literally yes. If you're willing to kill 100 to save 10000 then you're not far from killing 10000 to save 1000000 in the future generations. That's exactly how Dany justified it this episode.

No... it's not. There was no justification in that way. Just because you read into that doesn't mean that's what was presented.

At best, what we got was "I am going to rule, and if you won't love me, then I'll make people fear me."

We shouldn't believe she LIKES carnage. That was never a displayed character trait.

That's why this is an actual development. She had every element of the mad queen, except for the conscious choice of destruction over peace. That is what she gained in the last few episodes from all her loved ones dying, the party, and especially from Jon's betrayal. It makes sense.

Overwhelming care of the common people was an element of a mad queen?

I don't follow.
