You're right, GOT went from one of the best TV shows ever to a real joke
Television Game of Thrones (TV) • The watch has ended

Arya: meet me at the gates
Jon: ok
They forgot about that too. Jon just went about going his merry way

I still think Dany's death and subsequent lack of anyone giving a shit and there being basically zero repercussions to it (apart from Jon getting to go hang with his pet and best bud) is hilarious given that an episode and a half ago we were still supposed to be rooting for her as the ultimate goodie of the show.
And what happened to the horse! Why did the horse get 3 mins of screen time last episode to only disappear now.
Jon got imprisoned for killing Dany. How was he supposed to meet her at the gates?
They want Snow for a spin off or film. He'll be king of the north or such and reunite with the mourning dragon for some hijinks.

Wasnt it Jon who told Arya to meet him at the gates?
Will be in the spinoff with arya.
I thought this too, and he also got arrested for regicide so he wasn't really in a position to follow through with the plan.
People not doing the logical, most simple thing is kind of fundamental to 99% of all scripted entertainment.
I can accept that when the alternative is actually well done....in this case it was terrible hence the criticism.
The funniest scene of the episode was Arya telling Jon that she knows a killer when she sees one.
Are they really considering spin-offs involving any of the current lot? The only one that seems possible would be Arya and her travels.
Folks may be a little irrational when murdering their lover who also happens to be their aunty and their queen.
I think the magical dragon doing slightly weird things was the least problematic thing in the entire last season.
Yes. It’ll be called Return of the King
Ok. Watched it. It was ok. Not great but good enough. A few decent scenes and everything wrapped up fairly well. Some obvious flaws too but hey, when was the last time you saw a long running television reach its conclusion without any flaws? This didn’t even come close to the sort of closing episode feckery we’ve seen in, say, True Detective. That’s for damn sure.
I just have two final observations.
People who are getting really angry about this season are weird.
People who are actually writing loads of alternative endings are mental.
That is all.

Whilst it wasnt as good as previous seasons some of you guys who are annoyed are really coming up with equally shit if not worse ideas
this x100
all the stupid suggestions highlights that it's a difficult job. not saying they haven't messed things up, because they have, but i do give them some leeway given Martin has taken so fecking long.
it was a waaaaaaaaay worse finale than True Detective's.
It's things like this that make me believe people are going over the top with some of their criticism.

So Tyrion making a bunch of chairs look neat and professional, then posing before his council just come in and start smacking them about has some kind of hidden meaning. What a load of pretentious feckwittery.

Where did it even take her. She was back near the red keep again. Dumb as feck.
GRRM has said that all spinoffs are prequels.
Were in an age where people watch to be critics rather than to enjoy
Whether it has good or bad stuff, you can see people are more interested in discussing the negatives than the positives. It's just the way life is
I don't think any show has had this much scrutiny. It comes with being one of the biggest TV spectacles I guess. It does also lend to increasing ones popularity with videos tweets posts and articles + blogs.
Not saying everything should just be accepted cos fck euron. But there is defo of an element of some going ott

I think it’s quite astute really. The multi faceted intrigue that you would expect to accompany a true “greatest ever tv show” to have was abandoned in favour of throwbacks and caricature characters. “Tits and dragons” effectively, when it used to be so much more
It's hard to enjoy the ending of something like GOT. I've liked the destruction of KL, how the red witch lit up the Dothraki swords, how Drogon was flying during the destruction of Euron's fleet.
From a visual POV, those things were very nice but the story and dialogues ? Not so much
There are also many suggestions that are much better than what the paid writers came up with.
Season 1?!? You have to be fecking joking!! The whole green paint nonsense. Come off it. It was pure drivel from start to finish. The GoT finale was just a bit Hollywood-y. Trying a bit too hard to give all the main characters a nice happy ending (which was out of keeping with the vibe of the series as a whole). Not even close to True Detective levels of outright nonsense.
The last scene with Rust and Marty was good, how they solved it was ridiculous indeed
Hang on now, the GoT finale had way more dumb things in it than the green paint part of True Detective.
Yeah, final scene with those two was good. You couldn’t ignore the ludicrous detective work though. Not in a show with “Detective” in the title!
Not even close.
“He had green hands”
“Let’s see if anyone painted any houses green”
“That’s him!”
Piss off.
That's not true. Avengers got decent reviews and most people dismissed the negatives. It was broadly a positive vibe. You cant produce sub standard work and not expect people who have invested hours watching it not to whine. Especially some who are emotionally invested.
Plus, this one was particularly absurd. Like DC comic movie absurd. It will get called out on it in an OTT manner because of the standards set. Plot holes need to be earned not be part of the shows repertoire
Which is a real shame because they did build a beautiful plot over several years, if they brought it home better, it would have been among the best ever TV shows for me.
"People who are getting really angry about this season are weird."
Now that final season 8 was some way to ruin a tv show
The first season is one of the best shows ever made.
The acting yeah, the story yeah but the conclusion ruined it all for me. I cannot put it up there
They are!
Going off on a tangent here but I don't you think you can compare being irritated about a television series which was entirely focussed on detective work (the clue is in the title) that made such a laughable bollox of solving the mystery at the heart of the show with people getting wound up because characters they didn't want to die ended up getting killed, or the "wrong" character killed another character, or things happened too quickly, or whatever else the feck has wound people up about this season of GoT.
Hang on, people are seriously comparing the ending to a fantasy TV show, to true detective? now I've seen it all.
Eh, Pogue, you made the comparison, not me.
You're saying people can't get irritated that a show they've spent eight years watching ended in a really shite way, but it's ok for you to get irritated at a limited series ending in a shite way? How strange.
Name one pair of dragon tits that we saw in the show? Exactly, point to Pidgy.
