68 should be considered good. But it actually translates to mediocre for most people. Have to look at it through the latter, unless you're egotistical and think the world revolves around your views. ... Copied to Clipboard!

GranolaPanic posted... The irrational hatred of season 8 is ridiculous. It was fine. The only real flaw was Dany forgetting about the Iron Fleet.It was one of the worst seasons of all time, especially the later half/last episode. What a fucking insult. You can't even rewatch the show or any new content because you know it's all worthless in the end.

I think the biggest issue is that they tried to do too much too fast in the last two seasons. Which led to terrible writing choices because they realized they needed to get certain characters to certain places, but didn't have the time to build it up in the traditional slow burn story telling form that GoT was known for. Charcters were instantly transporting large distances, random asspulls needed to happen left and right, etc. Like, I don't think too many people had too many complaints about the actual plot points (except --- =E[(x-E[x])(y-E[y])] ...

Many viewers didnt understand the entire series was building to Dany doing what she did.The issue wasn't that she snapped like she was prophesised to, but the way in which they showed it in the last season. It was a giant leap from what she'd done previously, and couple with the numerous other atrocious decisions from this season many simply weren't prepared to give the benefit of the doubt. Dany was just one of many, many, many issues and not even the worst by a long shot. They were offered time to properly pad it out and present it satisfyingly, but they chose not to. --- Let's make biscuits! ... Copied to Clipboard!

GranolaPanic posted... I liked it and it was a fitting conclusion. Many viewers didnt understand the entire series was building to Dany doing what she did. I definitely think the conclusion itself was fitting. If circa seasons 4-5 we'd have been told how It was definitely the right ending for most of the show, and I'm absolutely convinced that it's an ending that Martin told them years ago, and is more or less the closest the TV show - with it's smaller cast - could come to the ending that Martin has planned for the last books that will never come out. Furthermore, I'm actually pretty convinced that the scripts for the last few episodes were written years ago, around the time they still had more input from GRRM - even the dialogue in those episodes sounds more like it did in the early seasons (references to "Bran The Broken" etc.) The big problem I have is that season 6-8 (save for the last couple of episodes), where they didn't have books to go off of, veered the plot in a different direction, the White Walkers kinda took over as the biggest plot thread rather than the Iron Throne even though that had no impact at all on the ending, character arcs went in different directions leading motivations away from where they needed to be for that ending, they clearly had no idea how to get Bran from where he was arc-wise to where he needed to be, and suddenly the finale that they had planned - while perfect for the first 5 seasons, and definitely the conclusion they had been building toward from the start - didn't really fit organically with what they'd changed the storyline to. They obviously knew how to end the show well, they just had no idea how to get from where the books left them to where they needed to be for that ending. The problem wasn't the ending itself, it was the couple of seasons leading up to it. And that's not even getting into all the "you've unlocked fast travel" nonsense, haha. --- http://i.imgur.com/6eF0W.gif ... Copied to Clipboard!

Hey, you know what's more fun than explaining why GoT from S5 onward failed - as both an adaptation and as a series in its own right - for the umpteenth time? I'm not in a hurry to see the new series, but I'm not opposed to it either. Tbh the Targaryen house and its history is the one I've always been the least interested in compared to the other great houses, but if the show's good, I'll watch it. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. https://imgur.com/eW67nT8 - Artwork by Wii_Shaker ...

I didn't think seasons 7 and 8 were that abhorrently terrible, they had some great episodes and not so great ones, but everything did feel incredibly rushed.

The issue with season 8 is not Dany's madness. That was foreshadowed a million times. It's the WAY it happens that's stupid.
