Are we just going to ignore that there have been zero good boobs or good sex scenes in like, forever? We really gonna end with Jamie and Brianne?
I don't have a problem with them dispatching the white walkers before they dealt with Cersei (apparently GRRM is a big fan of the scouring of the shire from LOTR, so this actually makes some sense) but they did a poor job of making them a very serious threat.This final season is ruining the ENTIRE series. What the hell happened to the writers? Do they not understand the rules to storytelling?
The white walkers began the series. You can't destroy them midway through the last season! You have to kill them in the final episode. That plot MUST be intertwined with the plot and subplots of the rest of the characters.
It's been infuriating to watch.

John should have just kept having intercourse with the dragon lady. He would have saved many lives by doing so. I blame this is on John.
I honestly had the volume on super low and didn’t hear everything as I didn’t want to wake the kids at 4:30am.
Whole wright plot was insanely idioticI think if executed right the Dany turning evil plot could have worked. It was rushed a bit too much for one. I still think the whole plot of trying to steal a wright just to show Cersei last season was lamer than anything this season.

FifyIs there a Song of Ice and Fire thread? If not we need to start one if Winds of Winter comes out.

I appreciate that they are wrapping up the story lines. Dany being capable of brutality is not new... burning the witch, and the khals, showed that side of her. I could see her making an example to stoke some fear in Westeros, but to destroy the entire city was not supported by anything seen to date.Unpopular opinion: I still love the show.
Dany going off the deep end to the extreme she did feels implausible but it reinforce two main themes: "absolute power corrupts absolutely" and "your DNA sets your destiny"
Dany started seeming to be pure and reverted to her DNA by going all "mad king"
Jaime was evil, showed signs of redemption, and reverted to his DNA by returning to sis.
So my point isn't that there are flaws, but rather that some important threads hold together through the story.

Actually, I would have been OK with it if she'd taken out the scorpions first, then the red keep, and then finally gone on to destroy anything and everything else. Like, why take the time to destroy the civilians before your ultimate goal?I appreciate that they are wrapping up the story lines.

I enjoy the series and think this season is ok, but I also think it could be great. Let the characters earn the twists of the plot. Dany burning down the red keep was definitely earned, burning 10s of thousands of innocents not so much. What, she went nutso? Or is she calculating? The calculating queen B was supported, the nut job turn not so much. If they need that twist to set up Sansa, Arya, Jon, or Tyrian taking her out fine, but show her becoming unhinged, not just throwing a tantrum because the last straw was Jon kissing her like she is his auntie and not his hottie.
