Lot of things seem rushed. Like leaving a cup of Starbucks on camera.

I can see it now
the director "what idiot left a starbucks cup in the shot?"
someone one from the stage crew picks it up and says "a cup has no name!"

Funny you should say that, if you went back to rewatch that scene, HBO edited the cup out... virtually vanished

[ArcadiaGP]

Looks like all the spoilers that came out were accurate.

Ending is out there, for anyone interested.

there's always time for boobs... (n.b. I do not watch GOT on Sunday night due to conflicting programs that my wife likes...)

I'm avoiding spoilers, so I don't know what the leaked ending is. But I'm increasingly disappointed in this season. Dany's actions were absurd. (The only plausible explanation is that her "coin" fell on the same side as her father's, and she's mad. But even that represents an absurdly rushed character-development arc.) Also, an hour and a half episode where the battle is won in the first 45 minutes and the second 45 minutes are nothing more than gratuitous "burn them all" scenes through King's Landing? Kind of "phoned in", IMO.

The Hound and the Mountain had an appropriate culmination, but Jamie and Cersei didn't deserve the romanticized ending that they got.

After Dany's temper tantrum, is there even still an Iron Throne for anyone to sit on?

 

[chezuki]

Not completely convinced Cersei is dead. Jamie was likely bleeding out anyway.

I'm with you on the disappointment. This show spent 7 seasons building characters, plot lines, prophecies and so on, and for some reason (I can only assume because they no longer have GRRM to copy from) they've decided to take a big steaming dump on all of that for season 8. Nobody's decisions, including the writers' and producers', make any sense. The hound/mountain scene was the only thing worthwhile in this past episode.

kurt sutter (sons of anarchy) "I'm going to write the worst final season in tv history!"

DB Weiss and David Benioff … "hold our beers!"

Yeah, I saw them too... and they are accurate so far, BUT if it follows through with who they say will sit on the iron throne, in really going to be pissed.

Honestly, Dany has been that person all along. Someone else pointed out that whenever she thought about going off the deep end, someone would temper her fury. She doesn't have that now because Jon Snow is "whipped."

...but to be fair, Emilia Clarke can do it.

 

[hoosierdoc]

That was a strange episode. And not a single boob

dani is very insecure. Those leaders destroy any possible threat. She gonna kill Jon?

I think she may try.

 

[Mongo59]

The only thing I can take out of the episode is Dani had better get a food taster, the Spider knew he was going to die...

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Typical woman... going nuts and killing everyone when her boyfriend breaks up with her.

Can't wait to see the spicy feminist takes on this season

You mean, they won't applaud Jon for going on a sex strike?

I don't believe that this rampage was over Jon at all.

What was Missandei's last word..?


"Drakaris."

I think that once the ballistas that could kill the dragon were destroyed and the walls breached, the city capitulated. When Daenerys was confronted with this it was simply too easy. She wanted to vent her rage at losing Missandei, a totally helpless and innocent person who depended upon Daenerys for protection, and Daenerys failed her. Her rage was over her own lack of ability to save Missandei along with Cersei's callous beheading of her dearest friend.

This is why I don't think Jon factors in at all. She was full of boiling rage and it all ended too easily, and she wasn't able to accept that. And King's Landing suffered dearly for who (Cersei) sat on the Iron Throne.

Doug
