Game of Thrones Season 8 {possible spoilers}
- Thread starter Jasmine Raine
- Start date
Well I can see all feminist writers, going ape shit about both female queens going crazy with power and having the fictional world return to be ruled by a man.
Now it's obvious, Tyrion will kill his queen, he then will become the hand of the king, who will marry Sansa. It won't be Aria because it's to obvious and she followed the hounds advice, not make her life about revenge.
Remember the original story is about the Stark's and Targaryen's. It's also obvious that Sansa it ready to jump John's bones.
Just saw the after comments, it doesn't look like Cerci and Jayme are dead yet.

While it's great to speculate about who is going to kill Dany.......
WTF ARE THEY GOING TO DO ABOUT THE DRAGON!!!!!
WTF ARE THEY GOING TO DO ABOUT THE DRAGON!!!!!
I never even thought about that. If Jon doesn't kill her, maybe Jon gets the dragon?
Personally, I don't want to see him die
Ask yourself what an angry out of control dragon is capable of...........I never even thought about that. If Jon doesn't kill her, maybe Jon gets the dragon?

One episode left.
What do GoTs fans expect?
I was hopping that all the dragons would die a painful death by now, the remaining dragon taking out the Iron Fleet left me soured. Dany has fulfilled her destiny, she's been insane since S2. I questioned why Emilia Clarke played her so blankly, they had to hide the murderous psychosis within. He rise to power was unchallenged, committing ever greater atrocities as she arrived at her goal. The death of Jorah removed all traces of humanity from her. Jon Snow is partially to blame, he was too weak to intervene. I won't lose any sleep if he takes his own life. They went Schindler's List at the end with human ash falling from the sky.
They made Cersei almost sympathetic, she was committed to saving her family. All her children were killed and Jamie was powerless to save her. I shed a tear for The Hound, he went out fighting. Revenge is a hollow satisfaction.

More like Darth Vader. Lol

Well, that was about as fucked up an episode as it gets. Did not see that one coming. I knew there was going to be a battle, but I did not expect a wholesale slaughter.
Kingslanding surrenders, rings the bells and instead Dany just goes insane and levels the city and kills a huge chunk of its inhabitants. (And I don't see how a fire breathing dragon is going to knock down buildings. Sure sure, I accept that there are these things called fire breathing dragons, but I don't understand how flames have enough power to blow holes into stone walls 20 feet thick. There is thermal energy, but not potential energy to knock down buildings. But since when does physics apply to Game of Thrones.)
Frankly, the whole season 8 just jumped the shark last night. Last night's episode just ran screaming past absurd.
I get that there is president in the show, after all, Harronhal was reduced to a ruin by dragons and Targaryans in the past. Dany's father was "the mad king" who enjoyed roasting people and was going to burn the city to the ground in the past, so clearly Dany has it in her. Jon and Tyrion were caught blind sided by all of it.
The whole series has been reduced to a comic book action flick in so many ways.
There are no happy endings in Game of Thrones.

Y’know, I saw a lot of people posting the Vader comparison, but I have to disagree with it. Vader in RotJ looked very frail and human, that was the point of the scene, to show us that under all that armor, he was just a man. It humanize the monster. With The Mountain, it’s the opposite. The point was for him to look grotesque, to show us the monster the armor was hiding. I don’t really think they looked all that similar at all.
Not only physical, medical laws were broken.
I found hard to believe with all those giant crossbows not one them could bring the dragon down. After taking a stab to the kidney from Grayjoy, Jamie would have died of septic shock long before he reached Cersei. Excellent make up work on Bjornsson (The Mountain), they took his physical features and made them grotesque. There is one Greyjoy left, will she have a part to play in the finale?
Watched The Raptors last night, sick fuck that I am, I watched this episode while having breakfast.

The Mad King had previously hid "wildfire" all over the city as a final doomsday bomb. And yes, just look at the Sept as to what it can do.
Jeremy Jahns uploaded a review of E5, he said that the first 4 Seasons were masterpieces and the series started to go downhill after that.

Of course, the first 4 Seasons were the domain of the Taylor siblings. Vanessa Taylor was the executive producer and wrote 20 episodes including "you know nothing Jon Snow". She left after S4 to persue other projects. She worked with Guillermo del Toro on The Shape of Water. Alan Taylor is veteran director who knew how GoTs should be staged after directing episodes of Rome. He's directed several films but his forte is directing highly acclaimed shows. He's directed episodes of Mad Men as well as 10 episodes of The Sopranos. The last episode of GoTs he directed was the death of the first dragon at the hands of The Night King. David Chase has handed him the reins to direct his Sopranos prequel: The Many Saints of Newark.

Seasons 1 to 4 also closely followed the plot of the books. G.R.R.M. was always very careful to logically connect his plot points, make sure the storyline made logical sense, and make sure the characters he established acted in believable ways.
Season 5 was really the first time the show branched out on its own. It has always been on shaky footing since.
I liked this episode much better than 3 and 4. It still had some illogical narrative beats, like how overpowered Drogon suddenly became and how useless the King's Landing defenses were. Way too convenient for Euron to emerge from the waters like that. The Hound convincing Arya to go back was also a little too convenient (they should have show Arya seeing more of the bloodshed before that at least). Tyrion betraying Varys is a reach, but okay.
I know some will say Daenarys going mad is also a reach, but I bought it. We've seen her lashing out before. We've seen that she can be cruel. Yes, she's always had a reason, but that's what makes it believable. She became too consumed by her "right" to rule. Too convinced of her own goodness. Always convinced that her actions were justified. And she experienced so much loss. Lost her only real friends (Missendei and Jorah). Lost two of her children. Lost a large part of her faithful followers. And was scared of losing that one thing she held so dear: the right to rule. I do fully expect a shitstorm to come of this, however. There are a lot of Daenarys fans.
I can't tell who will kill Daenarys at this point. They seem to be setting up Arya for the kill. She still has those green eyes to offer up to the Many-Faced God. The only two on the show that could mean were Cersei and Daenarys. I'm not saying she'll succeed. Only that she'll try. I also think Jon will be involved in that final confrontation. He does have a dragon to steal away!
Also, loved how Qyburn died. By his own creation!
