Do not like what I just read on the live blog.
This is what I was worried about. |

Sounds like some foolishly rushed character development has riddled the plot with holes rather sensationally.
I knew this would happen. They should have sewn seeds earlier. |

Yeah.
Another great "stand alone" episode but it's all going at such a pace that if you've been watching the whole series it feels oddly unearned. I'm sure everyone will say how great it is but in the grand scheme of it all it's a pretty big letdown. Was hoping that the issues that plagued season 7 would get ironed out this season after they've had so much time to get it right but it was just a harbinger of how they'd be ending it. The show is still good, but it's a shadow of its former, great, self. |

It's even worse the more I think about it. I just want to watch the last episode to get it over with at this point.

Is Brianne still sobbing somewhere? Is that where we ended her after all that? Did Bronn just go back to....wherever he was the last few seasons? Jamie got captured to say goodbye to Tyrion? It's all so very....ugh.

Still not as bad as the ending of Mass Effect 3 though.

It just sounds really slapdash. As if they were more worried about making sure the right people died rather than ensuring they died in the right way.

Lots of powerful moments tonight.... yeah, the show does feel rushed and just "let's get things over as fast as we can and kill everybody who needs to die and end their stories"....... but on the whole, I'm still enjoying it "on the edge of my seat".
Thought for sure that horse was gonna kill Arya at the end |

Would be cool if the series ends with Westeros run via direct democracy and worker communes and the whole show was communist propaganda

Mad Queen probably the most shocking moment since the red wedding. Agree with everyone else though, that it was rushed. Her heel turn deserved another episode or two of build up.

Season should have been a few episodes longer. I don't care how long it would take. I'd have preferred they do it right.

I don't think it was shocking in the way the Red Wedding was since it was discernible where they were headed with this, whereas the Red Wedding scene completely caught me off guard as someone who hadn't read the books. I thought it was well done, but it seems like the last couple of seasons have been pretty straightforward with their storytelling, there haven't been those "hit you from behind moments" that I can recall. The last scene I remember feeling that way about was the church explosion.

Wonder how Arya Stark was seemingly the only (human) survivor on that whole block/city. Could have at least shown some other people moving about the wreckage to show that other people survived too....

There was something about her that was a little off, during the episode, but I didn't expect her to go apeshit on the city. A few scenes of her moping doesn't earn that scene, imo. As it was it was out of character.

I liked the scene where she was trying to save the group of people (and mother and daughter) but then they immediately all got killed... Was a good lil thing to show that not everything was magically going right for her

Just found out the same guys writing these episodes are the same guys who wrote Wolverine: Origins.
So that explains a lot. |

Whow.... heel turn to the max. Arya is going to get to kill a queen after all.
I get people being upset with how quickly things are going but with only so many episodes (and the 2nd episode being wasted) it was to be expected. |

I was worried about how 6 episodes could contain any real conclusion and now I can see they are taking it full circle: There is no real progress in the Game of Thrones, nobody is truly good or evil in the Game Of Thrones, History repeats itself in The Game Of Thrones etc... |

Basically The Game Of Thrones ruins everybody. We saw it at the start, a broken rule of a faded warrior across the seven kingdoms and across the world were discontented and angry allies and foes who by now have all risen and fallen in various incredible ways.
Now the next generation are doing the exact same thing as we approach a moment for the world to look back on a time of seemingly endless war... Just as the past was spoken of by Ned, Robert, Tywin and Co. |

A live recounting of events is almost as good as watching something provided you are interested in the story. Plus I can watch it whenever I can be bothered walking 15 minutes down the road. The visual experience is secondary to a strong storyline and in all honesty while the show has been good, it can't touch the source material for detail. I'm not sure why you think that equates to seeing a spoiler... Do you think someone else spitting in your soup is the same as you spitting in your soup? |
