Yep, highly admire the research, skill and work that must have gone into achieving this kind of scale which for me personally overshadows the poor dialogue etc. We kinda had the best of both worlds across the entire list of seasons. First half had excellent acting and dialogue, second half had exemplary visuals and cinematography. I'm pretty satisfied with the whole series in the end.

I loved the Ghost puppet
Not sure how they used him exactly.
We can't hide behind small mercies.
The Lord of the Rings one has a shot given the size of their budget.
The season we needed couldn't be built by men loyal to the season we had.
Last season was dreadful to that timeline in the series.
When you consider previous seasons and the relevance they have towards the finale, it represents the title as a whole, so in my opinion the entire show collectively has been disappointing. Same as prison break, fantastic infancy but longer it goes on more the writers are clutching at straws.

People aren't having a go at the ones making the show at all. We unanimously agree that it was such a huge effort and very well made.
Now, the showrunners...
Let's be a bit less pedantic, Branlambs.
Let's not get annoyed for being called out on a stupid mistake that destroys your whole point, Mobypretendedtofeckpadme.
It seems like you can see my future.
Touchy.
Lets face it, no amount of talk from the writers is going to justify the terrible story in S8. Effects were good though.
Fanboys are so cute.
I stopped caring about the 'story' since about season 5 when we had random masked men popping out of nowhere and what not. It's been crap since. Watched this season mainly for the production value and the scale at which some of the battle sequences were shot, which wasn't half bad.
Funny to see the nerds outrage over their favourite characters being killed in a TV show and still not having moved on. Been mighty entertaining.
HBO’s Rome (which was kind of GoT before GoT) was fantastic with this too.
Little tip if you are going to attempt to be a wum, you really need to zero in on the actual issues and ever so slightly twist them to get a reaction.
You aren't supposed to miss the mark, then blatantly advertise that fact. It really doesn't work, it comes straight from D&D's "book of tips on reading your audience and playing them...for dummies".
I liked you more when you were having a week long meltdown in here.
Don't see anything funny about a person going into rehab for stress and alcohol related issues per reports.
Come on, it's funny because the final season was so bad that even the actors went
.I dont think it is either tbhCome on, it's funny because the final season was so bad that even the actors went

It’s very sad tbh and anyway the last people that deserve stick for that final season are the actors .. they’ve worked tirelessly over the years and don’t get a say in script etc. Hope he gets well soon.
Considering most of the actors have said the show basically consumed the last decade of their life (and a lot of the kids missed huge amounts of their teenage years as a result), I'm not sure what the feck is funny about the above.
Yeah I don't see how that's funny either.
Well that backfired spectacularly
Mental health struggles are well funny /s
Some people are just arseholes and dig deeper when they are clearly wrong.
Mental health is incredibly overlooked in general, not nearly enough is done about it.
I get why @George Owen thought it's funny. The season so bad it's sending people into rehab. I doubt he read the full article. Cut the guy some slack.
Yeah, I agree. Initially, I chuckled a little, but when the underlying reasons were mentioned in the subsequent posts, I immediately realized the severity of it. It happens, nobody is a saint.
I'd imagine the show ending in itself has probably been a really weird experience for him that's been hard to deal with, essentially a decade of his life into something massive that's turned him into a global celebrity. And also one which resulted in him meeting his future wife etc.
Best of luck to him either way, not something to be sneered at.

He's a United fan too so that can't have helped either. Watching us would drive plenty to drink.
There's an interview at the top of the page here from April where he talks about having a hard time coping with the success of the show and feeling like he was the worst thing in it for a long time...

All the best to him.

Yeah, it's been an enormous part of his life. I imagine there's that empty feeling, where something that has clearly defined him over the last decade has come to an abrupt end, and he's left asking himself: where do I go from here?
Even I had that empty feeling after the final episode and I've only watched the series once. Can only imagine what it must feel like for someone who has invested the best part of a decade living and breathing the show. All the best to him.
His character though is the most overhyped and probably the worst good guy I've ever seen. "I don't want it", "you are my queen", all those focused slow motions with him looking clueless and miserable etc. Basically just a sulky borefest. The only time he was sort of half-witty was when Sansa told him winter is here and he acknowledged the longest callback in history by saying "father always promised didn't he".

During season 8, yeah. But even though he's a dour fecker, for the other 7 seasons he played the reluctant hero very well.
It felt like the writers suddenly realised how popular he was becoming and started giving him all the "cool" shots in battles and making him be super humble. It stopped feeling organic and started to feel forced.
Cam imagine Kit has probably been inundated with negative comments, threats etc. Don't underestimate how cult like some of the Dany lovers are/were (I know some who hate Jon as if he s an actual person, even responsible for the shit writing etc etc) Can imagine that aside from what was already said that knowing some fans of the show absolutely loathe you now, can't feel good if you re already feeling down.
