basically that suicide gag from the IT Crowd lol

Saved all his game progress, donated his crown, sipped some wine, took a psychedelic, spanked it out to Marjory one last time, and just nonchalantly ended it like a boss.

Maybe? I mean who knew timing could make such a fine difference between comedy and tragedy, except in this case the scene and character involved absolutely did not call for humor AT ALL.

I personally tend to equate lulz with bitter laughter. So in that case, it's hard to top Barristan getting jobbed by randos with knives, or Areo Hotah getting jobbed by a girl with a knife, or Arya turning off her brain long enough to get jobbed by her chief rival with a knife, or the Blackfish getting indeterminately jobbed (probably by some jackass with a knife, but we'll never know for certain since it was offscreen).

lol okay I'll give you that one because that was a casual stormtrooper/red shirt-tier death written for a character that was not that.

i didn't think it was awkward at all, i thought it was great how it was just a still frame focusing on the window for the entire scene
I think I misspoke -- the shot itself was fine, the jump was just a little goofy

Well it's from the best episode in the series, so... But it's true it generally dropped after season 4. Anyway it's Tommen.

idk for such a pansy he lasted a solid 3 seconds while having his skull covered in 600 degree melted gold before dying from shock. That had to have sucked A LOT.

Cersei unleashed that green fire stuff, which killed tons of people, including Margery, so Tommen committed suicide by stepping out of a window.

lmfao imagine being such a casual that you think the show only got bad in season 8

Imagine being such a casual that thinking taking literally all season, or even multiple seasons to get from A to B is quality show writing.

Despite the issues with season 6, I think that Tommen's death was really well done. Watching those first 20 minutes really did hit the same feel as some of the most emotional elements of the show.

Qyburn getting yote was funny as shit tho

Travel time doesn't really reflect on the quality of story writing at all in terms of length. Like, the show wasn't badly written early on because the writers took their time to develop plots, and it's not as if that travel time was void of anything interesting or memorable, lol.

Season 7 basically had the same issues season 8 had but had a few better written/memorable scenes in it

It's not even like they needed another 5 seasons to close in those plotlines. It would've been pretty simple to do in like 3 full seasons (say, 7/8/9) as opposed to the clusterfuck of action setpieces that defined the last third of the show.

I didn't really have an issue with his death. He was on old man who was completely outnumbered, and he had no armor. Yeah, he was a legendary swordsman, but that can only take you so far.

What was stupid was he was one of the queen's top advisors roaming around a city with an insurgency problem while unarmored and without security detail.

The show got bad around season 4 or 5, but this was actually a good episode. Hardhome, too. Those might be the only two good episodes after season 4.

Season 4 is probably the best after season 1.

Season 5 it really goes off the rails in terms of random quality drops. 6 brings it back in some ways but there was a lot of pandering. 7 had better moments, and 8 at least got to see interactions between a huge number of characters that we've wanted forever. Until ya know episode 5 and 6. Trash.

I didn't think Barristan's death in the show was really that bad. It was just him and Greyworm vs a bunch of enemies, and show Barristan was an older guy who was never really portrayed as the best swordsman in the world like he was in the books.

Gold melts at 1,064 C (1900ish F), no campfire can burn that hot.

I think that was the first crack in the eventually shattered vase. A pointless change made for no reason that actively made a character worse.

Pretty sure they flat-out said it more than once.

Like when Bitch Boy fired him from the King's Guard, he drew his sword, told the six guards he could slice the lot of them apart, is believed, tosses down the sword, bounces.

That's true, but is also just a bunch of people respecting his reputation. Did he every actually do anything cool in the show? Idr it very well and refuse to watch it again. I know we didn't get that cool scene where he destroys the pit fighters.
