Part of the problem is people taking the source material too seriously.

GoT: The Books are excellent fiction, but they aren't exactly high art. It is political drama with high-fantasy elements, lots of action, sex, vulgarity, etc. The writing is dense, the plot is complicated, and there are a ton of players, but it isn't exactly groundbreaking. Good books? Yes. Books that are so good that deviating from them is almost sinful? Hell no.

Sit back, suspend your disbelief, and enjoy the show. Production is excellent. Many excellent actors and actresses. Plot holes abound, and I've complained about the more egregious ones myself. But at this point, you are all going to watch it anyways, so you might as well just STFU and

was there a writers strike or are they that incompetent without martin

I thought only one dragon was left, but, apparently both are still kicking.

It’s GoT tv version we should expect last second saves. I did enjoy true Arya/Damian Lillard memes last night. Paul George as the NK...love that hellsite Twitter sometimes.

Great TV and all but I thought this was GOT, not a f**k Disney movie. 7 seasons and we have one hour and boom night king dead? Who gives a f**k who sits on the throne, this was the battle for the fate of humanity and just do casually win at the very last moment. Like 4 people died, no one significant except a few and they got glorious deaths not even something brutal, depressing and realistic. 10,000 years of prepping for war and the guy was clueless, you aren't in a rush bro clear the castle before your melodramtic ending. Overall 9/10 for cinematics but 3/10 for plot. Some things just didn't make sense. OMG we can't get the fire started they moan, as a f**k dragon is sitting on cluelessly watching. Hey zombie bros lets just chill by the fire WHILE EVERYONE ESCAPES before we throw ourselves into it so others can walk over. I'm not a 12th century warrior scholar but it also par for the course to dump burning oil over the wall when attackers try to scale it, not wait for them to reach the top. The Arya shit was lame, not the ending but her running around in a panic (to show character growth or something idk). Crypts were obviously f**k stupid but we knew that - average IQ much lower back then I suspect.

Great parts included:
Dothraki just riding off into the darkness and being swiftly pwned a horde of zombies.
Unsullied are GOAT something just majestic about the discipline and sacrifice.
Theon is a good dood and the acting for him has been GOAT
Larry David cameo was again a high point

Also LMAO at PG. He pwned himself in that interview thats a bad shot for HIM, lillard has been shooting 40% from f**k anywhere all season, it's not a bad shot at all.

I’m sure they were going for a mood with the dark setting, but there were parts that it was impossible to tell wtf was going on. Saving money on cgi I guess.

As was mentioned, the Dothraki death ride was pretty awesome. You get some badasses to cross a sea they would never cross and fight for your leader’s boyfriend, only to get owned in a matter of minutes. Should have stayed home bros.

While the Arya bit was way too cute, I did like that they did project it from season 2 (or was it 3?). Planned all along or did they modify it along the way?

cinematics? i had every light off in the house and i couldn't see shit

the dothroaki riding off really pissed me off. visually it was cool. in terms of making it seem scary as hell because the night is dark and full of terrors it was cool. the idea of charging with 10k cav in darkness without knowing what they were going after except you know that they can rise you from the dead and add you to their ranks seemed laughably incompetent. they spent the last episode going over battle plans and sucking tyrion's dick for being a genius and THAT IS WHAT THEY f**k DID? and then they put the f**k siege engines in front of the infantry? and fired one f**k volley? are you f**k kidding me? AND THEN... AND THEN they decide to use the dragons? only, just one pass guys, don't want to make it easy for the defenders or anything, lets just fly around for this fight and run into each other

i wanted the f**k WINGED HUSSARS to arrive, the dothraki screamers coming in from the side while the undead were storming the gates of vienna, and the unsullied were holding as best they could, while the dragons defended the f**k cav

but no

and then after all that the night king just died...

turns out, his entire purpose was to destroy all of Danerys' options for battling to win her throne EXCEPT for dragons. so we get mad queen vs mad queen set up, and jaime and jon are going to have to kill their former lovers

OR WE GET DISNEY

f**k this f**k shit

I WILL give the writers credit on some things. Unless they didn't f**k realize what they were doing which is possible... faceless god gives arya the abilites of an assassin. the lord of light raises beric von jesus over and over, for a final crucifixion to save arya. the seven save sandor clegane the broken man so he can protect arya. the drowned god gave arya time to get into position. and the old gods gave arya the knife. now that, that is cool. but the actual death sucked. not even how he died, but because he didn't win after breaking down the wall at all. and he killed no names, instead of anyone the viewer cared about. he never hit his high water mark. we never get to look into his actual motivations. he's just evil because he's evil. how f**k boring

we are left questions as "why the f**k was jon raised from the f**k dead?" and "did they seriously add in ghost a week ago? NO ONE NOTICES HIM" and "wait is this f**k Lost and are they all already f**k dead?"

i wanted one of two things to happen that episode. i wanted the NK to not even be there but bran dies (so he could be sacking KL or something on his dragon) to unHodor, or for the NK to reach Bran, and kneel, turning everything on its f**k head
