PopcornMax179 , I think people are forgetting that George told Dan and Dave how the story will end.... , maybe the way to get there is not 100% accurate with books but it's ok , I assure you that the writing on the show is done with the approval and counsil of George himself.... And For those who claim that the plot in this season is bad (bad ass maybe ;) .... I fear you will be disappointed from the following books as well , cause even though the show has passed the books , I believe that the plot this season is based on what George will write or currently writing in the books.

[@Demigodish4o3]

You cant assure anyone, because it's outright false. GRRM has stated that the show is entirely in DnD's hands and all they have are bullet-points about the story's progression, without much in terms of specifics.

I also wonder why the Night King didn't, ya know, spear the dragon directly in front of him on the ground (Drogon), which was carrying almost everyone at the time, rather than show off his javelin skills and hit the unladen one in the sky. Oh well. Still awesome.

[@TheEnasalin]

@@MrDuneedon I get your point, but the Night King comes across as a dead version of Cersei. He doesn't want to just outright kill all his enemies, he wants to make them suffer, preferably for a long time, not killing them but instead showing off how powerful he is and how little he actually cares about the suicide squad because he's the Night King with a huge fucking army is a much bigger statement than just going for the cheesy easy kill

[@meris8486]

The_Jackal Remember when Tyrion got accidentally knocked unconscious in season 1 so we ended up missing out on seeing a big battle? That was ok back then because the writing was on point and good writing can make up for a whole lot of shit. Whereas big spectacle doesn't make up for weak writing

[@ToughStriker]

you are sooo right. Those who are hating on it, can just go create their own show that is better. Stop hating on other peoples work.

[@80teg]

D&D have an impossible task at hand: They have to finish the story that was drew a massive crowd because of the interplay between fantasy, sex, politics, action, without having the necessary time to expand on certain things anymore. I think the mistake was committing to a 13 episode timeline -- Im not in the industry, so I dont know why they did that, but this season feels like a brief synopsis of a larger story because they no longer have GRRM's writing (and the enormous amount of time he took to write the first books) AND tying up loose was never going to be as satisfying as the build up. Look at LOTR for example -- its rare the you see fans think the 3rd movie was their favorite for the same reason; the end never feels as fulfilling as the build up.

imo they should have waited until GRRM is finished with his work they base their series on. just look at that Benjen scene eg. I mean wtf was that? I thought he disappeared from the show, and it was completely fine, he wasn't a very important person and I don't believe ppl were thinking too much about him, then he suddenly heroicly comes back just at the right moment exactly knowing that and where Jon needs help and then just dies after not even 1 min of screentime. Also what was going on with the speed traveling today again?? 1. Gendry running back to the wall and then sends a raven all the way down to Dragonstone, Dany instantly flies north and arrives just at the right moment again, this all happens in 1 NIGHT??? Gendry, the raven, then flying north = max. 8 hrs real time? what the hell? u call this detailed writing?

daVel No, that's mediocre. You praise the whole technical team for being awesome, but one thing is overall writing, and a completely different one is team work. D&D have pretty much fucked up logics this season (messages getting delivered pretty instantly??? Seriously???), but that doesn't make performances or the whole cinematography change. It's just D&D's fault. And trust me, "limited budget", with Game of thrones being basically the highest rated TV show in history, when they sell THOUSANDS OF MILLIONS in advertising, is just BULLSHIT. It's even bigger than The Sopranos, and they're just rushing it so they don't make 2 more episodes??? I just don't buy it.

[@TheTatzeLP]

When I read the comments, I can see that most people don´t understand the difference between horrible character decisons and bad plot writing. Tyrion wanted to conquer Casterly Rock to weaken Cercei. This turned out to be a bad decision and nobody complained about the plot. Now the characters made another bad decision, when trying to catch a wight beyond the wall. Its unlikely that this will change Cerceis mind. Have you ever thought about that the characters in the story aren´t as omniscient as we are? They do mistakes and thats what makes them humans. I want to attach another point. I often hear people complain that no major character was killed in the last episodes. To be honest, I think killing major characters was never the case in Game of Thrones. There were just two major POV characters in the books, who were killed - Catelyn and Ned Stark (Catelyn was revieved as Lady Stoneheart, so technically its one person). These were the only two major characters that were killed of in the show. I admit, that many side-characters died in the past, but we never really cared about them. There are 12 major POV characters in ASOIAF who are still alive. Daenerys, Tyrion, Jon, Arya, Sansa, Bran, Theon, Davos, Jaime, Cercei, Brienne, Samwell Its wrong to say, that GRRM killed so many major characters, he mainly killed side characters with larger parts like: Viserys, Robert, Khal Drogo, Renly, Joffrey, Robb, Ygritte, Oberyn, Tywin, Show exclusive characters: Hodor, Tommen, Jojen, Ramsay, Stannis All of these characters contributed to major plot developments: Viserys - changed Danys personality Robert - caused the war of the five kings Khal Drogo - with him, Daenerys would just have been his wife and not a queen Renly - introduced the whole Brienne plot Joffrey - Sansas escape and Tyrions trial Robb - anger against the Freys, better alliances for house Stark later on (The north remembers) Ygritte - Sets Jons way to Daenerys Oberyn - Tyrions escape to Essos Tywin - Jaimes anger against Tyrion I don´t think, that anyone will read my comment, but I honestly dont know why this series is so popular for killing off 'major' characters. All of the important ones are still alive.

People moan when there is action saying it's rushed but then there's less action people moan they are dragging it on. Can't win

Usually two different types of folks. Some want it smoothed paced while others only want battles and effects.

It seems like no one is pleased these days. The amount of bitching is baffling.

[@kut52]

Thinhk that there are two different groups moaning - in general I for example do think that the action should really be long time coming, there should be proper lead-in to it, there are so many action movies etc, but only one GOT.

[@Sjulemand]

People will ALWAYS find something to complain about.

I never cared about this show until a friend made me watch and I was blown away at how addicting it was.

[@vijaythapa3064]

I also watched it last week..after my brother recommended it now I am not able to come outside to this series,,this is pure emotion and it should keep going always 😊

I always envy the people who work on the set of Game Of Thrones, these people will get to tell their grandchildren "I contributed to the making of the greatest show in history" God I wish I had that privilege, even if it was a teeny tiny responsibility I'd be proud of myself for the rest of my life knowing that I had a hand in making of a masterpiece

This is insane men,, that was cinema scale prduction

[@thomasschulz8477]

yes, and a poor script after they ran out of books. its not bad, its just kinda ordinary and cheesy.

[@serenahussain2072]

I have even more respect for the actors to see how they can harness all these different emotions as well as carry out their action sequences as if they truly are on frozen lakes, riding dragons and watching their dragon child die 😭

My pants moved when Thoros and Beric lit up their swords like fucking lightsabers.

[@LordMyrsky]

Dany and the dragons could end the war literally for 5 seconds if all three dragons aimed the night king first. He wouldn't stand a chance against 3 dragons at the same time, but then the show would be over.

[@LordMyrsky]

Cant the dragons eat him for snack, or simple tail swipe.

[@Gamerboy_Joy]

yeah, sure, have the dragons fly directly at the spear guys. good thinking.

[@LordMyrsky]

No chance to kill all three as fast as they can bite in half the night king.

[@mizusecond]

sure daenerys could actually be smart and hide somewhere with her dragons until the wights + night king arrive, then just snack them and be done with it. but well, we talking about people who just got on a suicide mission to catch a wight in the dumbest way possible.

[@cwells45]

2:09 "we wrote it and I was watching it and thinking holy shit Tormund is going to die..(the director) managed to override my rational brain and make me think Tormund was going to die" Yes because that is what would have happened in old school GoT. Back then the show was about real-life consequences. Now, even the second-tier characters are coated in plot armour and survive the unthinkable.

Yes, this show has its faults, especially now that d&d have run out of source material. But still, they've done amazing work at telling such a complex story asoiaf is, and made a heavy-detailed fantasy novel, a lot of you would've never heard of, into a cultural fenomenom.
