this finale was just… not very good. I mean, what did it do basically? Did it say anything? Why should I care? Did it manage to emphasize a season-long theme or put it in perspective? Not for me. All it was, really, was a series of climaxes happening in a very specific, predictable order. Action-packed? Yeah, but is

I have no idea how they managed to, but they did… they managed to top two all-around brilliant seasons with this one. It seemed like they really tried to include a lot of different characters storylines and arcs, and they pulled it off brilliantly. I don't think the season made any major missteps. Much of the strength

I actually thought this was a really good episode… until the last 10 minutes, they were so try-hard

Oh, look, these characters are soooo dark! They're sooooo flawed! They're soooooo interesting! Except they're not. The reviews were pretty average, but not even I expected the first episode to be, well, bad. It tries so hard to develop these characters, but at no point did it seem natural. I don't even think the first

Atleast we won't have another year of True Detective being completely overrated by everyone and their mother

I honestly now think this series has the best cinematography I've ever seen on TV.

Thank you. God knows why the hell Breaking Bad never got called out for doing the same things

I thought it was an amazing episode, buuuuuut I mean, they better not bring Jon back. Like, it better not be a fakeout. How cheap if it was.

I'm sorry, but Myrcella died for NOTHING BUT SHOCK VALUE? Umm, if there's one thing that tried to do with the Dorne stuff, it set up her murder, and Ellaria's revenge. The whole episode was with inevitable conclusions due to characters' actions and their consequences (whether it happened to them directly, like

I thought it was an amazing episode, buuuuuut I mean, they better not bring Jon back. Like, it better not be a fakeout. How cheap if it was. Is that how he's "killed" in the books?

how so?

Oh, please

Oh, and another thing- why is it that people want to keep judging this show BASED on the books. "Book Stannis" this, and "Book stannis" that… just stop. What matters is if it makes sense in the context of the show

A B+? And a B from you guys? Why?

Like you, I'm so impressed by how much it covered. So, it covered a lot, it seemed to, and yet it was also pretty leisurely, confidently paced. More than usual, it seemed like the artistic flourishes were at a higher degree here. I still cannot believe NBC is letting them to this stuff, like WHAT? It does not in any

Jesus Holy Fu*k. For reals. It would be a perfect last episode. The show's always been meta but this was to another degree, and it was the series' weirdest, most inaccessible episode ever. I loved what it did though, true Community style. Season 6 was sort of rough in the beginning but it came into its own, and while

Felt so achingly personal but also offbeat and funny, like the show always is. This was yet another great season, although perhaps its least "great" due to less episodes. It certainly went to the older, more episodic format but it still maintained the tone the show acquired since its second season. And even though

The Dorne stuff was some of the very few interesting things in Book 4, but all of those scenes just fu*king suck in the show. The Sand Snakes can do die in a fire, all together. The three actresses are awful, the dialogue awful. Every single thing in Dorne looks so cheap and corny, the fight scenes are just so cheap.

Oh yeah, I forgot that Hannibal hasn't even had a season in contention this year haha

Yeah, the final shot really could be read in two ways, and even more than that. People could easily say he didn't create that ad (although I think there are too many clues to believe that). But I do think he changed for the better, even while creating that ad
