Note that none of those morons on your list are elected to anything. Please re-read my first sentence:

Both sides have idiots aplenty. But your side regularly elects idiots to office. So don’t even try to both-sides this one:

Its a lot more fun to worry about 22nd century problems than 19th century ones.

I think people ultimately just got worked up about Daenerys and Jaime not turning out to be “heroes” after people got emotionally invested in them. While I agree the execution and pacing could have been better, I suspect that they would have been disappointed regardless.

I am so not looking forward to the shitshow that AV/I09 comments will become.

Seriously, the entire population is full of goddamn babies. I really wish all these dipshits would put their energy into something constructive. The world is burning around us both literally and metaphorically and all anyone cares about is that their head canon comes true.

WAHHHHHHHH MY BEDTIME STORY WAS NOT TO MY LIKING WAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

WAHHHHHH I COULD WRITE A BETTER ONE

I WON’T

BUT HEAR ME OUT: I COULD

It’s almost like the show deconstructs the stupid narrative of “arcs”. People are rarely redeemed in real life. People don’t have closure. People don’t have tidy endings where they reflect on their deeds. They live everyday like they will live forever and then one day they die. 

Her beef was with her (partly paranoid, partly justified) assumption that Westeros—its people, commoners and lords both—is rejecting her. 

I find it difficult to reconcile the people who praised Martin for subverting so many of the tropes of genre fiction with the people complaining “they undid Jaime’s arc.” If you want neat and tidy character arcs that fit traditional concepts like “redemption,” there are plenty of stories that will deliver that.…

It’s possible he didn’t feel he deserved that redemption. I don’t think the show justifies a complex reading, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable that Jaime would still feel guilt over his past, or that he didn’t think he had a future without his sister. Some people pursue things even though they know they’re doomed.

Sweet empathetic queen who mercilessly slaughtered, tortured and crucified anyone who refused fealty or did things she deemed immoral.

I can’t imagine being blase about this episode. That was one of the damnedest things I’ve ever seen on any show.

Did you not watch any of the other seasons? From the way she murdered her enemies to crucifying her enemies all the way down the road for miles on ends? I mean sure they deserved it (relatively speaking), but she’s always been sadistic, and the previous seasons have clearly shown that. Season 7 showed it when she…

I love listening to you assholes whine. Seriously miserable people. 

the whole torpedo-lodged-in-hull thing was distractingly bizarre because every time they went back to it no amount of willing myself to just roll with it could overcome the “but if...” cascade kicking off again in the back of my mind...even allowing for the built-in excuse that “shields up”=”no transporters” it seemed…

And was I wrong, but was Pike literally just one the other side of a single door when a photo torpedo went off (that blew off the front 1/3 of the saucer), but he was fine?  Huh?

More observations:

Obviously we have at least one episode left where this can magically be resolved and “make sense”. Or maybe they won’t directly resolve it, and it will lead into “Discovery’s wacky time travel sphere-data adventures” for Season 3.
