Like many people, I became interested in this show and picked up the books. Then I became intrigued by the complexity. Then addicted.

Now, after a 7 season investment in these characters, the world they inhabit, and the various, interconnecting plot lines, my expectations grew in a way proportionate to the quality of the writing ... which has been awfully damn good.

But this season has been, for me, a disappointment. It's subjective, of course, but I've noticed a noticeable decline in story-telling since the source material dried up.

8/3 was a shoot in the dark that turned this epic saga (from the medieval soap opera I saw in 8/2) into a medieval night of the living dead. Once fascinating character arcs are now flopping about like decapitated limbs.

Remarkably (and based on internet feedback), millions of people are apparently rationalizing and justifying (not that I blame them) instead of "enjoying". That's sad and I fear that a "Lost" ending coming our way. Hope I'm wrong.

If there's any solace in all this, it's that GRRM and the creators have said they've done everything they can to avoid a "LOST" ending and want the direct type of ending that Breaking Bad gave its fans.

What was it that happened at the Three Eyed Raven's cave? Weren't there skeletons throwing weird exploding things? This episode kind of felt like that.

I liked it.

Theon finally atoned. He did well.

Two questions:
How is Sam not dead?
Why is Sam not dead?

Bonus question:
How can we make it so Sam gets dead?

There is a chance Dany will see to that. She has a talent for burning Tarly's fresh from a battle.

It's like people (and the directors) have forgotten that Game of Thrones was just the first book. The series is called Ice and Fire for a reason. The white walkers were supposed to be the "big bad."

Don't be mad at us that the writers suck ass.

I actually did not realize that the wights attacking everyone in the crypts were the old Starks, I thought they had broken in from outside. I couldn't see anything happening on the screen well enough to know any differently.

This show has never been truly about the damn throne or the Lannisters...

It was always about families and houses squabbling over a throne that quite frankly doesn't matter while the real huge threat was brewing in the north and kept creeping closer and closer.

The hubris of all of Westeros should ultimately have been there downfall but nahhhhh we need social media reactions and MEMES.
