GoT Finale

[The Lawspeaker]

It was like watching a parody, hubby and I just started to laugh at some point.

I don't blame you. Thank God, my fiancee and I pirated the whole lot so it didn't cost us a penny. I feel like a moron for buying the books, though. 35 euro's or so.. pissed away. FML.

The ending episode currently has a 4.5 rating, which is more or less the same that the Sharknado movies have.

I guess the writers wanted to troll and decided to ruin a good series. My only surprise is that this is apparently the same story line that George Martin thought for the coming books.

The difference is he will take a whole book and over 1000 pages to explain with actually skill what the mediocre writers tried to do in 6 hours. To put that in perspective, the first book on audio form is the length of 4 seasons of thrones.

Also, rumor has it the books are already done and he waited until the finale due to contractual obligation. 6th book is potentially out this year.

The way they get to this same end will be vastly different. Characters still alive in the books are dead in the show. Also Gendry is basically 15 Baratheon bastard story threads mashed into one. Changes were made since season 2 so it’s a different entity to the books. Imagine a parallel universe, only the show version is a less integral version of the books.

The last book was originally called a time for wolves. Martin also said in interviews the reason Bran/3ER would be the best King. Also the books 3ER seems to have a very ominous plan. He’s a bastard Targaryen who has literally used magic to manipulate the realm and even start Roberts rebellion. Bran is also called the flying wolf or something and is never referred to specifically as 3ER.

Also, all the Starks in the book including Jon can warg. The show only made bran a warg. So the books and show have diverged since season 2. Only they had enough from the books to go off of that it was still great. Until they had to rely on their own talent and dropped the ball. Mostly their fault. Partly Martins for not finishing the books first.

Feminists disavow Daenerys because she is not a real feminist...the very moment she became a genocidal maniac.

As someone joked:

IT WAS HER TURN!
NO BORDERS
NO WALL
NO KING'S LANDING AT ALL✊

They needed 10 seasons with 10 episodes each, finished books, and competent show writers. Instead we got 8 seasons(the last two a total of 13 episodes), two unfinished books, and incompetent show writers. It was not going to end well at all.

Thankfully, I never watched the show nor read any of the books, lol. I hate shows or anything that pushes degeneracy and so on.

The show was great for the first 6 seasons.

Since they were based on the books, yes.
