The other problem is you have to compare their work to Rian Johnson’s work who hits it out of the park every time.

She killed everyone that has ever opposed her. We were just fine with most of them:

I wonder why fans are so myopic about writers and showrunners. Everyone loved Game of Thrones and Benioff and Weiss... until the end when they didn’t. Everyone loved Battlestar Galactica and thought Moore and Eick were geniuses... until the end, when they didn’t. And everyone loved Lost and lauded Lindelof and Cuse...…

So a flawed, entitled, vindictive, damaged pyromaniac with delusions of grandeur and genocidal impulses that were for years constantly and only barely stemmed by those around her, and who finally succumbed to those urges when those people were either dead or she no longer trusted due to her also having a soupçon of…

Benioff & Weiss’s career to date has been mostly spend adapting other people’s stories to screen. Benioff’s sole completely original credit was his first novel, The 25th Hour, which he lucked out in getting adapted as a movie by Spike Lee. Since then almost everything he’s done has been based on other work. Weiss’s…

The last 2 seasons, they’ve been operating without GRRM’s material, and have completely dropped the ball. They are failing to explain motivations (why did Dany lose it and burn the city? The “seeing the red keep” excuse from after the thrones didn’t explain her rage well enough at all), constantly changing the rules…

I know there’s going to be a lot of fan backlash largely due to the themes that dominated Game of Thrones and probably even Dany’s heel turn on the last GoT episode. But to be fair, B&W are adapting GRR’s material as faithfully as they can to both the source and the medium. And I think they’ve managed to navigate a…

“The map is available for free right now on all Bedrock versions of the game...”

Some of the libertarians I’ve met opposed Right to Repair and Net Neutrality on the grounds that even an inch of new government regulation, no matter how well intentioned, was effectively a Trojan horse that lead to us eventually sprinting down the slippery slope and embracing Totalitarianism. 

Lol, if he was a real celebrity those dumb girls who sent him pics would have sucked his dick.

So they got off light...naked pics > Youtuber dick.

They’re the morons who sent them to a fucking Youtuber. That’s not even a real talent, like an athlete. At least I understand why a woman would want a jacked, physical…

No, he apologized for her having the disorder, not for being an asshole. 

Well, sure, the first organized defense didn’t work in the sense that they successfully routed the army, but I mean “it worked” in the sense that actions taken during the course of this first and only organized defense ended the Night King and his army totally and completely.

The books aren’t fixing shit. Martin is 70 years old, works at a snail’s pace, is not in peak physical shape, and has 2 books to finish. Arya taking out the Night King will be canon as somebody else will finish these novels based on outlines Martin wrote when he’s not bitching about the Giants draft picks.

Arya has totally owned the season so far. Dynamite in a small package..

Agree about Jon, though I’m pretty sure he DID knock the night king from his dragon? Or was that Dany? (I’m just thankful he didn’t get to kill the Night King, that would have been too much.)

The ending was always gonna be a little underwhelming since they were determined to not end the show with this encounter (I get…

We will never see a ASOIAF book in which the Night King gets killed.

I didn’t mind Arya killing the Night King, so much as I mind...

1) Jon, to whom has been leading the charge against the army of the dead for several seasons now, basically had no substantial part in ending it.

You could always answer his account name for him :-)

No but my 29 year old ass has an anxiety disorder!!!!!! How do you enjoy attempting to antagonize people on Deadspin for little to no reason basically every day?
