You're telling me you were reading the awful rushed and badly written scripts alongside your coworkers and you liked what you read? Shit taste.

Kinda ot but I was watching the Red Wedding episode a few nights ago and it's fucked up how they were always so weirdly blatantly anti-women in this show. To the point you include a female character, ADD THAT SHE'S PREGNANT, none of this occurred in the book, and make sure she's stabbed repeatedly for what?? More shock? I'm still disgusted by this it's been years.

They should have just kept Jeyne Westerling. The change to Talisa never made sense. They wanted to give Richard more of a love story but he came off as dumber. In the books he knew not to take Jeyne with him and insult the Freys further.

IA. The subtle change behind the Red Wedding (from being about Robb wanting to preserve Jeyne's honor to being a purely romantic thing) has always bothered me, and I hate that it became a recurrent theme throughout the show (the stupid annulment that never made sense in season 7).

Yes! and it especially pisses me off that he was ready to force Arya to marry a Frey and fucking move to their nest for the rest of her life, but he thinks that he's too good to marry anyone but his ~true love~

I'm fine with the story where the choice he makes is a result of his character flaws, but not one where this is portrayed as romantic or whatever

people dont get mad because shows end, the get mad when shows end shittely

There might have been signposts along the way but in my personal opinion I still think the progression from "I will not be the Queen of the Ashes" to "I'm just going to set 100,000 people on fire now" was a biiiiiiit too quick. Two years between seasons does not equal two years in the show.

And really, that's the main complaint most people seem to have. It's not that everyone was mad there wasn't a super happy ending, no one was expecting that. It's just that the last season was super rushed and it was clear that D&D just wanted to get it out of the way so they could move on. There's nothing wrong with wanting to exit a project after ten years but it was annoying to find out that they were offered an out of letting someone else finish the show and they didn't let that happen either.

Also Jon killing Dany didn't really carry as much weight as it should have because they didn't even know each other for very long. They got together in the last episode of Season 7 and by the first episode of the next season Jon finds out she's his aunt and they're pretty much dunzo from then on.

Kit and Emilia just didn't have enough chemistry for anyone to buy that the choice to off her was really that devastating to him and Kit couldn't deliver the emotion that scene would have deserved. If Jamie was forced to kill Cersei it would have waaaaay more impactful on us as an audience.

It seemed to me that Emilia was giving it her all but wasn't getting much from Kit in return. I blame him for the lack of chemistry lol

Kit seemed very checked out, he had almost no reaction to learning Ned was not his father. They did not give him much material though.

Fuck this show.
