I think it's already drained his motivation. Think about this, GRRM hasn't released a new book since season 1 of the show. Since then, many of his book plots have been spoiled (Shireen, Hodor, Jon, etc.). That has to affect his motivation for completing this series. It's sad but the dude just needs to buckle down and…

Essos?

He was surrounded by like 8 dudes. Oh, and I'm not denying that the show has declined in quality over the years, but you have to consider that the writers have limited printed content to work with and a limited budget. They had to adapt the rest of the story with plans to complete it before GRRM even finished TWOW.…

Well, the whole logistical situation in this show is laughable. Bran shows up at the Wall like five minutes into the premier, but doesn't get to Winterfell until two episodes later. Meanwhile, Jon travels all way to Dragonstone in less than an episode's time.

The writing was strange to me. Like, Jon informs her of the army of the dead coming and then she responds yet again with her claim to the throne. It's like they have to give Emilia numerous rants about her claim to the throne each episode even if it's out of context.

The only way justice will be served in Westeros is if Meera Reed sits the Iron Throne. That poor girl looked completely dead when they arrived at Winterfell. She's been hauling the most important dude around through snow for how long?

I actually think they are in the weaker bracket of actors in the show. Don't get me wrong, I do like them both but sometimes both lack compelling emotion.

Or, "Hey Sansa, we have to talk about Jon. He's not who you think he is!"

Agreed. Oberyn got himself killed.

Um, do you understand how complex this story is? Do you know that the books aren't even finished yet? Why are you even watching it? No matter what, this show is better than any T.V. show from an entertainment perspective. Period.

And that will be the lamest shit ever. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

Are you kidding? He said that he's the 3-eyed Raven, which most of the old lords don't believe in, and that's that. "I'm the 3-eyed Raven!" (crickets).

Does Littlefinger ever eat, shit, or sleep? It's like he's Sansa's personal body guard. Dude is in her peripheral vision 24/7.

They might just do that though

Also, it was in response to Jon saying that the army of the dead is coming. Like, hey Dany, try to keep the conversation in context.

Yup.

"Burn them all!"

Fast travel baby!

HA!! The White Walkers are actually snails offscreen. They edit that shit out to keep people interested.

And he loses every conversation. HA!!!! Always seems to get zinged by someone, e.g. Tywin, Cersie, High Sparrow, and now Olenna.
