What I think though really gets to be what's at the heart of why/how things went wrong to the degree they did in Game Of Thrones is the timing of each of the series. That they did this show with a yet unfinished book series. If Martin had indeed had the whole thing out by as late as, say, the TV debut of season 3 (possibly even season 4), I think it could've gone differently. And in my argument's case, Martin at least speaking in some depth with D&D once it was obvious they'd finish theirs first about ways he was planning on wrapping it all up doesn't really matter, at least not enough. I really believe that it helped cultivate a mindset in those two writers' minds and general attitude on how they felt about the show later in the game that it was no longer strictly off this globally beloved, cleanly and fully completed set of novels. I mean hell look at Martin himself, especially after the recent announcement of his HBO deal, I have zero doubt he never finishes & releases the end before he's dead, he obviously doesn't care enough about THAT specific story. He just wants to keep building that broader universe, keep "discovering" new characters and elements about it. Especially with how grueling and unorthodox the actual production was on the show (despite HBO having made it clear they were fine with a couple more years), it's so easy to see D&D themselves as then just running out of steam on it. So they took a number of things that would still likely have the same ending place as what Martin planned, but skipping over way too much to allow much of it to have organic sense within the TV show.
@Prene163 жыл бұрын
@@kevinw712 I've heard vince giligan say in so many interviews that the way he progressed the story was always based around the mindset of the characters 'what does walter think while he is doing that' and so on, which lead to everything feel like the natural progression of things. And I believe the lack of this is what hurt GoT the most. after a certain point, much earlier than the last season, character actions stopped making sense. and sure they didnt have the source material, but they had worked with these characters for years. If the ending they wrote was based on whatever GRR Martin told them, then it was obviously a mistake to listen. since they couldn't have written out his story anyway, they should have tried to write their own, and own up to it. like this is OUR ending. the way WE want the characters to move from that point. and they shouldnt have thought of an ending and simply try to get there, but try and analize what their pieces were and how they could use them. how they would logically react to the situation in front of them and where would their choices take them. because at the end of the day, the brilliance of the early seasons was just that, the way every single character's choice played such a big part in the final picture. they didnt have to expand the world anymore than martin already had, they should have simply moved around the pieces in a more logical way. and maybe thats not what they signed up for, but when you have something so big, why not try to make it good, and go down as 'the writers who tried and made something decent' instead of 'the writers who gave up and ran away'

I hope other producers and directors take note because many times music dilutes intensity and seriousness of scene.

It's pretty dark, but at the same time the scene perfectly fits into context and the way it was shot, the way Bryan C. played it with a moment of confusion and being overwhelmed by the situation, not knowing what to do and all of a sudden leading to hearing this dark voice, that is only just beginning to build up inside of him, and after having watched her die, leading to the realization of the absence of his actions - it's perfectly portrayed on his facial expressions and shockingly convincing.

But it became so clear after season 4 that Dexter was making too much money for Showtime wanting it to have a beginning middle and end.

Psychoanalysis/Philosophical --- Walter White: Walt is a prime example of Nietzsche’s idea that many people are only good out of cowardice. Many would choose the darker path if there was little chance of consequence and Walt is right there. He was a bad man playing a good man’s role. He had multiple opportunities to leave the life, even when he realized he wasn’t dying he realized who he was and stayed in it. Jimmy McGill (Saul Goodman): Jimmy is a lot harder. Jimmy seems to be an ever changing story the more you know about him or his past. He saw Chuck as the Golden child and denied his parents playing any role in the development of his super ego. His parents got played as fools and he knew it so he never saw them as figures to be emulated. With this, he never developed discipline and grew up maladjusted, in constant denial of his actions causing his family (the suckers) to lose their business. He tries to justify all he does wrong, even as an adult. (I’ve not seen season 5 so I may end up being proven wrong there form this point on). There is a point Jimmy realizes Chuck was not the Golden Child, he was the Golden Standard. He wants the love and respect that he ends up seeing Chuck receiving (and is so rightfully deserved). Chuck is now the archetypal “father”, the one to be emulated. The decline of Chuck’s mental health shakes Jimmy, as his role model is mentally deficient and refuses to acknowledge that he is sick (as seen when he refuses to commit Chuck). In their feud over the tape, he is angry but assumes after some time has passed they will patch it up. Chuck has his lights on and seems to be in full capacity of his mental wellness (he’s not btw, but that’s a different case). Then he tells Jimmy, appearing in full mental health that he “never really cared about (him) that much.” Jimmy’s archetypal father has permanently disowned him, and his suicide prevents Jimmy from redeeming himself. He returns to his denial from when he was the young man without a superego. This is his decent into Saul Goodman, the lawyer who’s conscience is just as small and just as affective as Jiminy Cricket in the beginning of Pinocchio.

As someone who believes in his own right to own and trade private property, Walter White has "broken good" ...the joke is the premise of the entire series. Hank Schrader, whom Bryan "abject idiot" Cranston has called "the moral center of the show" is actually the most malevolent antagonist of the show...far more evil than Gus Fring or the Mexican cartel. ...Every character in the entire show, minus Gale Boetticher and Jessie Pinkman are warped and twisted by the dominance of sociopaths in our degraded culture. Of course, that "moral center" of the show (revealed by his Ron Paul campaign stickers in his notebook and on his car), gets killed. In this, the show resembles "a system that destroys the good." (Like Ayn Rand's "We, The Living," "Anthem," Orwell's "1984," or Zamyatin's "We".) It's actually a story about America "Breaking Bad." ...Saul himself is not particularly evil or twisted, in comparison to the greatest moral evil of the show, Hank Schrader and the other drug cops. In contrast to them, his greatest evil is "doing business in a corrupted system" while insisting on making a buck in any scheming way he can. By comparison, his bar-licensed brother who wishes to restrict the practice of law to "an elite" is a grotesque moral evil, as uncovered by abolitionist Lysander Spooner. So, there's my "alternative" take...which was once the most commonplace view in the USA, pre-1913 and pre-government-run-schooling (pre-"Prussian model" schooling).

I just watched Sharp Objects, it had a good IMDb and Rotten tomatoes rating, but man was it pretentious and boring. I was reminded quickly how great BB actually is. It's very difficult to Ballance plausibility, entertainment and philosophical implications, without making the thing pretentious or over the top. That's what BB did so perfectly.
