Actually, this just points to the fundamental problem that so many of us can’t get over after that last episode. They did foreshadow her turn extensively and often. But every time it would come up before, they would quickly counter it by showing that she was still good, that she still wouldn’t visit death and…

Season one might’ve been better, but I feel like I had more fun watching this season just for how bonkers it was. Archie’s homoerotic vigilante street gang seems tame in comparison.

Yeah the codename theory is crazy and wrong.   Clearly the only logical answer is he is a Timelord

So... If anyone has seen my comments on the experts and newbies reviews, you know that I’ve been positive about the series and this season almost to a fault. I’ve invested so much time in this series and enjoyed all of the seasons as a whole. I defended season 5, yes the Sand Snakes and Dorne storyline sucked but…

how stupid the show has become.

Hey, at least we got that super-important Euron vs Jaime duel/fisticuff everyone was so looking forward to.

I am sure Dany’s storyline in the books will get to this point, although it will make more sense and be more fleshed out. Jamie, though? I just don’t see book Jamie doing this. I know it’s been 8 years since I read them, but isn’t book Jamie pretty much done with Cersei by the time him and Brienne run into Stoneheart?…

But here’s the problem: not that Dany turned out not to be good, but her turn in the episode puts her in bad genre fic “evil” territory. Thats is every bit as awful as ending the show with a Royal wedding complete with Dany telling Tyrion “you bow to no one” as the music swells and drogon breathes confetti all over he…

Exactly my point.  Well said.

Funny how there was no inkling of any of that depression or remorsefulness you’re inferring. If that’s what they were trying to portray, then they completely failed. You’re giving too much credit to the writers. As of Season 8, they didn’t care about portraying a complex man; rather, they took a shortcut for…

Having people act randomly without consideration of what has happened before is not deconstructing anything. Real life doesn’t work that way, neither does good story telling. You can pretend that this has been some avant garde exercise in story deconstruction, but it’s just sloppy writing by a team that’s ready to end…

Yep, Danaerys had endured a lot worse than some people being more enthusiastic about the guy they had known for years than her. This descent into indiscriminate carnage makes her seem brittle, and feels like a disservice to her character. Instead of her story being one of overcoming the cycles of violence and abuse…

Martin’s subversions have purpose, thematic heft, and a reason for veering beyond “Ha! You didn’t expect THAT, did you?!” Jamie’s behavior here is pure subversion for the sake of subversion, with no greater thought or purpose behind it. That’s why people aren’t happy with it, not because it surprised them and they…

It was such a wonderful palate cleanser after that *other* episode I watched tonight.

“WITH MY SPEAR AND MAGIC PLOT ARMOR”

What an utterly baffling episode. It’s almost like this show got cancelled and the producers clapoed their hands and said, “Mm’k, let’s get this shit over with.” And then proceeded to finish the series out in the most basic way possible while ignoring 90% of the built of mythos of the books and the last 7 seasons

The brains were what stopped me watching. S1, they were interesting; S2 they were a bit silly but fun. S3 and £4, though, were just ridiculous - the most insane brains they could think of, as 99% overwriting Liv’s personality. The whole original idea of how these different brains could gently nudge Liv in different…

I love you, Spartacus but we’ve only got fourteen hours to save the Earth!
