    Yikes, I hate to pop in and just flat disagree with something that isn't even on topic, but man, I couldn't disagree more with that assessment (so much so that I popped in to do so, would love to hear what you liked so much about it via PM).

    I’m a fan of Neil Gaimen and that arrow death scene in season 1 was visually pretty cool. That is about as much praise as I can muster. The first season did me in early so much so that I can say with certainty that I’m not ever going back.

    For me it's not a great show, but it has some good bits. There's a scene in season 2 where Deadwood's, E.B. Farnum and Al Swearingin are reunited. I would watch the entire show for that scene. There's anothere scene where the dead girl is arguing with the leprauchan and he starts drowning her and the cops show up, she pretends she's dead and he gets arrested, hilarious. Also, the guy playing Anansi who was also in Juwanna Man, is actualy really good.

    Ya, that is probably true. I have Netflix, and Hulu with Showtime and HBO, I think it’s around $45 a month. Every time I think about cancelling something, I just remind myself that for years and years we were spending around $140 for Direct TV. It’s literally like the cost of going to an okay restaurant for my gf and me.

    Totally get it. I don't really watch tv at all aside from anime and this, so it's buhbye to the sub after tonight.
  • Did anyone hear George Martin imply that the books will have a different ending then the tv show?
  • Kind of a Dick move if so, considering he told D&D how it was going to end and all.

    Someone has to do the series justice.

    Yeah, sure, but if he fed them some BS ending which they implemented because he told them that's how it's gonna go then it's kinda on him to a degree.



    I still feel that they've dropped the ball in a number of ways, but he himself has said in the past that it's bad writing if you start with a plan and you feed that plan with your writing and then you change your plan just because people figured it out.



    If he's changing the ending in the book because of backlash, he's a hypocrite. If, on the other hand, he's simply given D&D one ending while all the while planning to do a different one (while leading them to believe the ending they were given had parity with the books) then he's just an asshole liar.



    I'm gonna say it now - I have no intention of reading the books. I've read the first 3 or so and I honestly just don't like his writing style. His world building is great, but the style of the writing itself I am not a fan of at all. I don't want to get the shit story just cuz I prefer the video medium.

     Nope never watched it. 



    I watch very little tv but I did watch Westworld. Newcomers experiencing a world where anything goes was more interesting to me than the maze and robot rebellion. By the second season I had lost interest. 



    Just watched the first 2 episodes of Chernobyl on HBO last night and enjoyed it.

    From what little Ive read online it looks like they changed the story so as not to be predictable. If so it is on them.

    Ah then I had it backwards. Fair nuf. 

     
  • Aaaaaghhhhhh shit!
  • Discuss.
  • Knew the kid would be king since last season.



    But man. What a ... it was something I guess.



    I needed a day for episode one but a week to digest this.
  • It was ok. Show cant live up to the huge hype. Had more closure than I thought it would atleast.



    Id give it a 6 or 7 out of 10
  • Honestly I feel like at the end of it all I'm going to need to sit and watch through every season all over again to really get the true measure of the show as a whole. I imagine we could nitpick away at just about any season and poke it all with holes and be shitty about it if we cared to.



    It's still been a great ride over almost a fuckin DECADE (My god really?), and it'll always be a show I can go back to.
  • The worst episode of the worst season of one of the greatest shows ever.

    The one constant. Buyatari griping about a season 8 game of thrones episode lol



    Remember that one guy you defended in here after episode 4. He said the show needed to "get on with the story already". LOLOL. The one person in the world that thought this show wasnt fast enough.

    You are right I'm glad it is over.

    This season was 6 episodes too long ! 

     

     
  • Grey Worm -> Shut up dwarf. Your time for talking is done. We are here to decide your fate

    Tyrion -> You are right. I have said too much.

    Grey Worm -> I said shut up dwarf !

    Tyrion -> How about if we let my friends decide who should be king to decide these things?

    Grey Worm -> ok good idea.

    Tyrion -> I think Bran should be king.

    Grey Worm -> ok that sounds like a good idea. Brother of Jon Snow and friend of Tyrion is as good as anyone.

    Bran -> I will be king and Tyrion will be the hand of the king.

    Grey Worm -> hey wait a minute here.

    Bran -> No No seriously this is perfect he doesn't really want to be hand. This is punishment.

    Grey Worm -> ok well if you say so but Jon Snow will die for killing our queen.

    Bran -> No we will send him to the Night Watch. The ice wall that was destroyed has been rebuilt overnight and we need him there to make sure that um. No reason really.

    Grey Worm -> Fine. I'll go back to my army that was wiped out during the battle of Winterfell and has since been reborn.

    wall was destroyed at eastwatch. They were at castle black

     
  • In the other game of thrones thread years ago that one dude kept laughing at people who viewed the starks as the "good guys" back in the day when people were upset the killed them in the red wedding.



    Well dude, it seems like they were the good guys after all



    Edit: Found it. It was rickrollcollector being a condesending  book reader. From like 5 years ago after red wedding episode.

    Not sure I got you completely, but I would say that if you'd like to correct anything about the show that's already happened, that's fantastic. It's really interesting.



    Now though, I am going to expect another Stark to die, and any hope I have for both girls to live is shattered, and now it's only a matter of waiting to see who it is. The surprise deaths is a large part of what is good about this show so far, and I want them to be just that... surprises

     

    Well since you and all others noticed this whole series go into unexpected way...so, to break you perception about the show, the books are not about Starks, and Starks family are not the good guys...its all opposite



    So, enjoy the show now
