Bran reckons Martin told D&D that he'd end up on the throne
Television Game of Thrones (TV) • The watch has ended

He told them how it was all going to end. G R Martin and D n D have stated it many times.
Aye but an argument I've heard/read is that they could have been told how it ends and done it differently on the show, in the same way certain plotlines took a different course. At least this shuts that shit down.
Again I don't find this funny. I hope he finds help for whatever issues he has.Come on, it's funny because the final season was so bad that even the actors went.
This.
I've known people at work who were made fun of for suffering from depression. Things being said like they can't hack the pressure or they need to man up. I feel sorry for people who say things like that. Having that little compassion or empathy for others even those you know is very sad.
Laughing at someone for suffering mental health problems... way cool man.
The last great season of the show was season 4.
I would say 2
As someone with severe mental health issues, I think it was a somewhat badly phrased joke, but not really problematic. I get what he was trying to say, he didn't mean to make fun of Harrington himself or the issues he has. He wanted to make fun of the writers, it backfired a little and that's it. No need to make this bigger than it was.Laughing at someone for suffering mental health problems... way cool man.
Agreed. It was a joke which was in slightly poor taste but nothing major, there was clearly no harm intended. People are far too quick to jump on somebody's back.
Agreed, basically he was a decent character until he fell for Dany. He became more of a standard leading man after that.
Yeah, I'd agree with that. Been all over the place since.
I'm half tempted to rewatch the short night on my nifty new oled... but nah, not really.
Watched the inside show. You realise how much work is put into it, even moreso than you realise.
Makes me sadder that they didn't just put an extra season to flesh things out
There are a few things I absolutely hated from the series :
+Dorne and how the characters were basically everything that went against oberyn and what he meant
+Sons of Harpy's
+The plan to take on a wight, them going north of wall really should have made more sense
+The second dragon being taken out. I have tried to rationalize it but when the whole 'dany kinda forgot' was said I can see why everybody called them dumb and dumber
The second to last and last could have been one long episode
Also do agree with most who said ep1 and 2 could have been merged
I really didn't have much issues with ep3. But 4 should have happened over 4 and 5
And then 6 could have been what was in 5 and 6.
Or as said make an extra season or two and d&d could have delegated and still done star wars and had their name to this

Season 8 was the equivalent of DMX in the rap world.
that's a really good fun videoIs that words of dialogue in the show?
Or words from the books?
EDIT: duh the books arent finished.
It says it in the diagram, words of dialogue per minute for each episode.
I cant see "dialogue" anywhere, but thanks.
Yeah, you're right. But since it seems to have been compiled from evaluating subtitles (see the bottom text), it has to be dialogue.
I'm disappointed given how the last two seasons of Game of Thrones played out, as many have stated it really did feel rushed and almost as if the writers had forgotten the method of writing a great story and telling it on screen. I thought the main story-beats could of worked but the writing that lead up to them was poor to say the least. Everything in the writing started to loose logic and the story they were trying to tell could of easily been stretched out for further episodes or even seasons for that matter. It's still a fantastic TV Series but it could of been so much more if it had managed to continue the quality in consistency that the other seasons had all the way through.
I think the simple reason D&D decided not to stretch it out was because they simply do not have the creativity or understanding of the characters that is needed to flesh out the characters. It was pretty clear that GRRM told them the end and it was mostly upto their creative elements to realize that end. Knowing fully well, just how much insight that would need, probably threw them off. They are going to work on the new Star Wars project I am told (Not a SW fan myself), so it should be interesting to see how my theory (Although not 100% Original) will pan out.
Tbf their work on adapting what was there and adding elements was great
I think the part of Ramsay fighting without a shirt when Yara came to rescue theon was just silly nonsense but not sure if that was from the books. One of the first silliest things however was Arya surviving multiple stabs, falling into water and then getting patched up and still out running the terminator.
I reckon d&d will be great for star wars. I still don't understand why they don't just keep their name on GoT and let it play out for a few more seasons and let others do the work whilst they still do star wars

Apparently the actor who played Bran literally thought it was a joke script in the ending where he becomes king.
Had never watched this last week but spent the week watching all the episodes and I thought it was great. So many emotional moments. Have heard the ending got bad press, however I had no problem with it (other than it being unsatisfying). If only Daenerys had showed mercy when they surrender, but that was never going to happen in GoT. I actually thought all the seasons were great with the exception of Season 5 which I felt was just good.
I'm excited to rewatch the early seasons already. Series 1-6 is just outstanding
Season 5 is cack.I'm excited to rewatch the early seasons already. Series 1-6 is just outstanding
Excellent
Oh. I can post in here again!
I liked the final season a lot. Preferred it to season 7 (which I enjoyed anyway) but not to any other season. That was enough for me. Reached all the conclusions a little quicker than I expected, and a little too quickly for their full emotional weight to be felt, but heck I was thoroughly entertained and I still got emotional. I'm not sure it ever could have ended in a way that satisfied everybody, or even in a way that ticked all the boxes I wanted it to. I think it simply grew so large in both scale and popularity that it almost broke the people involved, so fair play to them for pulling off such an unexpected last stretch that still made sense in relation to the rest of the story.
The last two seasons were a step down from the first six, but not by much. The first six seasons batted at a 9.5/10 average, the last two seasons were more of an 8/10. That's still great overall. It's a shame the sixth book wasn't published by the time the show caught up - that way we could have had an ending without all the questions about what's going to happen, what is and isn't in GRRM's plans, etc. In the end I think it affected how I felt about the fan community, which I used to love being part of. In the end I just grew tired of talking about the show, of listening to people talk about it, because for years now it's just been increasing negativity from people who kept saying they'd "given up" on the show but carried on hate-watching.
If the books ever finish (which I honestly doubt they will) I imagine we'll get an animated adaptation that'll stick closer to the books, and with the spin-off show coming I have a feeling this is more of a beginning for the franchise than an end. This is such a massive universe that any stories could conceivably be written into it. Hell, they could make an entire show based on events in Ulthos that we've never seen. Can't imagine future shows in this world will command quite the same size of audience, but they'll have a cult following - I love this world and I can't wait for new content from it, even if the characters aren't the same.
Now it's all over, for the sixth or seventh time for me, I'd rank the seasons: (best) 4, 1, 3, 6, 2, 5, 8, 7 (worst).

Whose opinion is that?
Didn't know I could post in here again, so I did. That's all. It's hardly a dead thread - the last post before mine was earlier today?Really, you are still doing this?
Oh. I can post in here again!
Followed by a long post of whatever, I didn't bother reading it.
You really will never learn your lesson, there were plenty more people reading those leaks and yet none managed to be as blatant as you. And instead of just bowing out gracefully, you continue to post your borrowed thoughts as if you came up with them yourself. I mean, I even repeatedly told you via PM that you were obvious, yet you still acted innocent.
You tried to ruin this show for others, and despite warnings of what you were doing, you still did it anyway. Again you aren't the only one, but you are by far the most obviously stupid one.
Huh. All I said was that I liked the last season even though it wasn't quite as good as the first six and that we might get another adaptation in the future if the books ever get completed. I don't really know what's borrowed about any of that. Judging by the general reaction to the final season I'd my thoughts on it were the opposite of borrowed.
You are delusional. Truly, you don't seem to understand what you did and continue to do.
But the show is over, all the best.
