TopicNearly a year removed, did the GoT final season ruin the show for you?
Mr_Biscuit

My biggest hot take is that I didnt hate Jaimes ending.

He was a complex character with good and bad, not only addicted to an abusive relationship as many people are in real life, but one with a woman who also happens to be his sister, who also happens to be pregnant with his child after the rest of his children have died. I think it was an absurd expectation of him that Jaime would literally kill Cersei himself or stand by while she burned alive, even if he agreed she was out of control, especially given his consistent wrestles with self-loathing and what degree of happiness he feels he deserved. That degree of a face turn is more Hollywood than reality. It does not negate all of Jaimes growth and goodness that he had a crippling, fatal weakness. The tragedy is that Brienne and the Starks were more willing and able to see the goodness in him than he was able to see in himself. Its disappointing I dont think thats the same as bad.

Much was made about his I never really cared about the people line, but it kinda baffles me, as he was pretty obviously being petulant and flip in that conversation before Tyrion was like dude, snap the fuck out of it. He was on some bullshit and in serious denial, not genuinely stating he had never cared about anyone as a character trait.

I do think the whole thing wouldve benefitted greatly from at least another 15 minutes of Jaime footage, though. I think S8 could be made a lot more cohesive with even just seven episodes an extra hour+ spread across the arcs would go a long way.

I mean just knowing what jobbers the NK and his army are alone would make it hard to take anything in the previous seasons seriously since so much of the show was "These assholes are squabbling over pointless shit when the real threat is almost here!"
Im not saying the NK wasnt a letdown, but I thought it was rather transparent that the walkers would not be the final threat and that ultimately the inherent shittiness of people and powerlust would be the enemy. A big team up against the dark lord as climax was like... counter to the whole thesis of the series.

Kinda think wow, they all banded together to subvert the apocalypse, maybe this is what finally brings people to a greater understaaaaaaand theyre already killing each other again was the point. That is not to defend the sloppiness or vagueness in the lore of things like the NK or the Raven, or the asspull Arya anime kill, etc., however.

People are big-ass babies about GoT's ending on a disproportionate level. I will argue in defense of "The Bells" and overall did not have a problem with Jaime's arc outside of needing a little more time to flesh out, pretty much hated "The Long Night," thought plenty of stuff overall in S8 was pretty dumb or rushed.. but even if you hated every bit of that, have a hard time seeing how it "ruins the entire show"

Dexter had an ending that approached ruining the entire show because every single season of Dexter was driving towards the ultimate resolution of Dexter's character development and his evasion of the law. Game of Thrones had waaaaay too many brilliant arcs over the years for a few disappointments to tank eight seasons of television outright.

Now, THAT said, I do agree that the show was truly only "all-time TV pantheon of greats" tier for the first three or four seasons.

Someone linked it to me here back when I was considering purchasing it a year or two ago. It had a song that I think was fan-made, pretty sure it was a custom video for the game, and I think it had the "Rip and Tear" thing as part of the lyrics. Can't find the video. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Yeah. I think they were hoping itd be close to an even split where they could justify it, but barring a bombshell or a big shift, Bernie is looking poised to kinda run away with it. If he wins or takes a close second in South Carolina, then takes Cali and Texas on Super Tuesday, its curtains and the Dems will need to start closing ranks around him.

Tonights debate is likely Bloombergs last shot to gun Bernie down. If Bloomberg somehow crushes Bernie tonight and then he or Biden wins South Carolina, maybe Super Tuesday doesnt go as well as Bernie hopes from there, etc.

I think Biden is pretty much done.

Its going to come down to Bernie and Bloomberg. Bernie will win a plurality of delegates. The DNC will enter a contested convention. The superdelegates will come into play and vote for Bloomberg. Bloomberg essentially just buys the nomination.
I dont think theyre dumb enough to do that at this point. I think they were mulling it over, but if the last week is the way things are gonna trend, no way. Bloomberg shitting himself at the debate and Bernie getting like 50% of the vote in Nevada rained on that parade pretty hard.

CNN and MSNBC have already started shifting coverage gradually to be a little warmer on Sanders.

Are we really getting this petty as a political society, or has it happened all the time and social media has just made it more prominent?
It was both of the women, stiffing their primary ideological competition.

Call it temperamental or call it women have had enough of this crap, either side you fall on, just an observation.

I believe it. sounds like that time I saw Pete Buttigieg at a caucus in Cedar Rapids the other day

I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didnt want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, Oh, like youre doing now? I was taken aback, and all I could say was Huh? but he kept cutting me off and going huh? huh? huh? and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my caucusing, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to choose my candidate up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen delegates in his hands without winning. The girl at the table was very nice about it and professional, and was like Sir, you need to win those first. At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the table. When she took out the app and started inspecting it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to check them each individually to prevent any electrical infetterence, and then turned around and winked at me. I dont even think thats a word. After she started to verify the votes and checked each delegate, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
