Media Center>Game of Thrones Seasons 7-8
keg in kc 02:23 PM 05-24-2017
About to hit the 5000 post mark on the old thread, the first season 7 trailer today seems like the right time to start the final Game of Thones thread.

I'm going back to the original rules pre-2015. I don't think we need supervision or bannings. Just don't be a dick. Post anything you find online that hasn't aired yet inside of spoiler tags. That's pretty much it. I think we can all handle that...





For future us, 2015 thread is here: Link

If you stay away from the internet and forums, you'll probably like it.

My co-worker doesn't visit forums and he loves this season. Comes in every morning first thing Monday wanting to talk about GoT.

My wife and nephew don't partake in reddit etc either and they love this season.

If, however, the criticisms have already gotten to you then it may be too late.

I believe that once you have that shit in your head, it stays there and you end up spending every episode looking for little "Gotchas" to nit-pick at.

If you can go into it without looking for reasons to roll your eyes or dislike the show, then you'll probably enjoy yourself.

And f*** HBO too - those a-holes.

I don't know why these ****s don't have Chiefsplanet write this stuff because the arcs would go exactly the way everyone wanted them to. Idiots!
See, this shit is ridiculous (maybe i didn't catch the sarcasm or something?). Ruined her? That's who she's ALWAYS been. Dafuq.

'Complainers'. Great. Now we're picking sides. I guess this is the fucking internet so I'm asking too much but can we maybe not divide this up into fucking teams. It's okay to have an opinion, and it's okay to - here's a new word: discuss - it's okay to actually discuss this stuff without trying to make it out like there's my side and there's your side and one of us has to be right cause reasons.

As far as quality of the season goes, Episode 1 was good. Episode 2 was great. Episode 3 was good. Episode 4 started okay but ended bad. Episode 5 may have been the worst episode of the series. I'm not at all excited to see the final episode, which leaves me feeling really disappointed after the level of anticipation I had a month ago. Is season 8 bad? Ask me next week. I don't know yet. But It's certainly not good so far and it's trending down. In my opinion.

You definitely missed the sarcasm.

Meanwhile, people like DJ and I think Ep5 may be the best episode of the season and sums up 10 years of Danny's character in totality.
Maybe it's just her inevitable fate that bothers some.

My wife's only complaint about last night is that Cersi didn't die brutally enough.

I’ll go in with the highest hopes for greatness, always do

Sure the action scenes are always top shelf and I love that as much as anyone... but it’s the writing/source material that makes it great of course

Hey hey, take it easy there Spoily McSpoilerson!

Why is episode 5 the worst of the bunch for you? For me, if parts of season 7 better led up to the heel turn and parts of episodes 3 and 4 were done better, then 5 is probably one of the best, period.

That's where we disagree. To me it's exactly what they did with Jamie. They took ten years of character development and just trashed it, like it never happened. Although I think the did it to a greater degree with Danaerys, the Mother of Dragons, Breaker of Chains, freer of slaves and downtrodden across a continent. She killed the same people in King's Landing she saved across the Narrow Sea, and why? Because Jon Snow spurned her? That was the reason they gave us. Fear it is.

And that, that I don't believe, that the Dany as presented on the show would kill women and children, methodically, coldly.

Just like I don't believe that the Jamie presented on the show would do anything that he did after the battle of Winterfell.

I do want to emphasize that: my reaction has nothing to do with the books. It's what i see as inconsistencies within the show itself.

Nah. The destination was fine. She didn't ever need to win. Isn't at least part of the point that everyone loses. It's how they got there. It felt dishonest to me.

I've said this before: it was like they had marks they had to hit, in terms of who needed to be where doing what. But they couldn't figure out how to get them there, so they just stopped trying to make sure that things made sense or stayed in character.

Pretty sure everyone agrees on that one. They were probably trying to go for some deep meaning there when all they needed was a knife in the back.

I still think the whole point was to milk sympathy for Cersei. Which I hate.

Imagine if you will the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Fellowship and Towers directed by Peter Jackson. And then The Return of the King is directed by Michael Bay. That's probably the best way I can express my reaction to last night.

I agree that they did an absolutely shit job at getting Daenerys to the point that she'd murder innocent townsfolk and children that we're surrendering. She absolutely has shown some really bad tendencies in the past, though.

Yes it was sarcasm. i thought blue italics meant sarcasm? I was doing my best Star Wars thread impersonation which is exactly like this thread except different character names and locations.

I would have completely believed her burning down the Red Keep. She wanted to break the wheel, as she put it. The rest? Not so much.
