Current Events > Season 7 Game of Thrones ... Best season in television history? *Spoilers*

(+) Yeah! (+)

So many OMG moments coupled with emotional attachment to so many characters ...

Not even the best season of GoT...
---

Season 6's last two episodes were absolute masterpieces and I'm afraid they'll never get better than that.
---

It was one of the worst seasons of Game of Thrones. Besides the cool effect and large-scale battles, they stopped caring about development or time management. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed it, but it was a pretty bad season when compared to others.
---

This is a lame gimmick bro
---

not even close bay bee
---

id put it on par with season 6. some parts felt a bit rushed, if it were the length of a full season it might've been the best
---

ahahaha
---

The season with the most spectacle for sure. Spoils of War is an all time great Thrones episode but the season is nowhere near best season in TV.

They shoved down fanservice for people like you, not that D&D had any talent to write anything of quality.

In any case, this is EASILY the worst season this show has ever seen. I will take Arya fucking around in Bravos, over this.

I agree. The eye candy was at its best, but most everything else was kind of shit

sounds like book worship to me

yea some things were rushed but the writing, for the most part, was still excellent. and it's certainly not worse than season 5

it was an absolute blast. the only people dogging it are the people who thought there was any complexity to game of thrones to begin with.

Haven't touched a single GoT book. Technically I haven't read through a book in years, but that's besides the point.

It's just clear as day the difference in quality between the latest season and the previous seasons. Can't speak for you, but the writing this season almost gave me brain aneurysm, so I had to forcefully stop caring about the writing.

These two topics provides a decent enough analysis of the writing of this season.

Season 8 is too predictable
The latter half of season 7 was pretty predictable too.

And some of the things don't make sense like how that peace talk happened face to face? True game of thrones spirit would be they conspire to kil each other and set trap. I found that odd.

And this whole expidition bullshit was so stupid. Didn't make any sense. Even if they show cersei a white walker did they really think she would go along with them? That's so stupid and naive. She wouldn't give a damn cuz she's down south.

Great action and basic plot development but overall average season. No one did anything clever it was all just stupid idiots horsing around bullshiting around.

Early game of thrones would outsmart me as the viewer but now I'm outsmarting the show and that's not good.

of those complaints the only ones that were distracting to me was the plot armor and time abuse, and that was mainly in the penultimate episode. beautiful episode visually but full of conveniences and unkillable main characters

and i should clarify, by the writing i was referring mainly to the dialogue. the back and forths between characters are still smart and engaging (except Jon and Dany who were basically ogling high schoolers this season, but now that Jon swore alliegence to her I imagine their interactions will get better)

so yeah, it has its faults no doubt but i was thoroughly satisfied with the season

It was a very mediocre season. It was only about tying pretty bows on everything before getting to the real plot (season 8).

Yeah, the writing for dialogues and back and forth were a treat, without a doubt, that has more to with the actors. But the writing of the narrative itself was of low quality, contradicting and not throughout properly.

No, we already know whats going to happen in season 8, it's all predictable now. Even season 7 was predictable. I guess thats part of the reason they focused on action, because theres fewer chances for crazy twists and liked characters getting killed.

-With 3 armies left, its clear that Dany could overpower cersei at any time and take her out. Cersei clearly has the weaker situation, even with the giant crossbows
-Dany and Jon will always do whats "right" and Cersei will always do the most evil thing possible. GOT wants you to HATE the characters not just dislike them.
-If Dany took out cersei first, then its jon + dany to fight the white walkers, and thats a lame "final" battle because the white walkers aren't as antagonizing and hate provoking as Cersei. Cersei will most definitely be the final boss.
-So the only way the show can even out the odds is to have Dany waste her time with the white walkers while getting more dragons killed while cersei buys up this mercenary army with 20k soldiers
-So once jon + dany get done with the white walkers (which will involve a hero fighting the knight king. this will likely be jon)
-That white walker showdown wont happen til at least midway through the season because they still have to go through the politics of all the north business with the northern families not being happy with jon bending the knee and going crazy about how he's making the same mistake as robb with a foreign whore. and they still have to show cersei building up her army. and they stillhave to show them making weapons out of the dragon glass.
-Eventually they'll be down to 1 dragon, danys army, northern army, they'll be significantly weakened, and they'll go on to fight cersei who will be now pretty damn strong (so that we are all scared and shit)
-They'll eventually fight and likely arya will kill cersei and it'll be pretty epic. Hound will end up killing his brother. Yara/Theon will kil euron. etc
-Jon will be the king, the only question that remains is, will he marry dany knowing that she's his aunt? cuz now they're gonna hvae a kid, likely.

Ser Jaime will kill Cersei and then marry the night king and have beautiful children.

Lol this sounds exactly like something they'll do

but I'm not so sure that they will. I hope they don't

the whole mercenary company thing is silly

the golden company in the books is a blackfyre (targaryen) descendant army that is fanatically loyal to 'aegon targaryen'

they're just going to stab her in the back

It was one of the worst seasons of GOT. Still puts it above most shows on TV though.

This. You can tell D&D are so lost without the books, this season was a mess.
---

My guess is that Bran will possess the Night King and either become the Night King or kill himself while in the Night King's body, leading to an insta kill of the entire ghoul army.
---

Ed Sheeran soldier will come back in season 8 and kill TNK

Clearly they're just gonna challenge the night guy to a dance competition, and the talking light from Destiny will defeat him with his 1337 dance skills.

Angry Short Hair lady will be so impressed that she'll commit Sudoku, and Dragon Boi will be crowned King through process of elimination.

Or alternatively, Book Man will make a cameo and everyone will bend the knee or whatever.

It was great. I don't understand what people wanted or expected . .

Too predictable I can't see any of that happening maybe some but not that type of ending

It was obvious. But yet I'm not sure where else the story could really go at this point. It was always building up to these moments. Maybe that's why GRRM is struggling getting the last two books out.

I think Cersei will be killed off first if that vision of Kings Landing covered in ice pans out.

Too predictable like this entire season was
---

In terms of sheer spectacle and post-episode reactions, yeah. I can't think of a single other show that gets more hype than Game of Thrones.

This is so strange to say but Cersei Lannister is now the only good thing about the show in season 7.

Nah, I could lay out so many different directions the story could (have) go(ne) and it would have proper foreshadowing.

Hell I could write a good enough story wrapping up all the ends differently and having darkstar turn out to be the real Aegon who fights young griff after Dany and Jon sacrifice themselves to fend off the WWs...

He has plenty of options if the one I threw out was the worst I could come up with off the top of my head.

The show isn't even up to that point yet. The last season and the ending is a different story. Getting to that point through season 7 is what I'm talking about. We're in that awkward period where it's not quite the climax and we've had characters built up for years. Killing them off now would feel like a waste.

I meant specifically towards GRRM writing the two books.

I wholeheartedly believe he has no qualms killing people off even though it hurts. He just understands the gritty nature of the world he built.

To be honest I don't see a lot of the popular show chars living as long as they have here.

As a show watcher I agree D&D are in a hard ass place.
---

It's fun as hell. And epic scale.

But it's not even a top three GoT season unfortunately. Though I like short seasons. More focused.

Though GoT feels like it needs air to breath.

are you seriously not calling Jon Snow Jon Snow anymore? Thats pretty lame.
