| Topic | Game of Thrones: the good, the bad, and the ugly (spoilers) |

I think another thing to realize is that this was their first foray into writing unique material (for the most part), but it was the closest to the end point of the books that they had. Everyone knew Snow was going to be resurrected, that Cersei was going to get revenge on the high sparrow, that Daeny was going to ride into Westeros with an army and wreak havoc, etc. Once they accomplished the obvious plot threads and had to then go further, they were left to their own talent and an open map as to where to go minus the general ideas Martin had given them (which lets be honest, even he seems to be getting overwhelmed with the plot at this point). It's not hard to understand why some of the best stuff from the show was what followed the books the closest, and the bad stuff was them using their own ideas. They just couldn't compete with the world building Martin had already done for them, and season 6 and 7 still let them at least use some of his material to build their own world. Season 8 was so far removed from their source that they were left to do it on their own, and clearly... they can't. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
