Bananarchy

Well, if we're dealing with impossibility, the rebuild would be great if a kid from Chicago prayed that the White Sox would win the pennant and angels literally come and help the White Sox play better.

Parkman is talking about this year. Kopech was hurt last year...

It's pretty clear when the show went south, too. After Arya goes to Jaqan and says "A girl is Arya Stark..." the series seems to completely change.

GoT was one of my favorite shows to rewatch. Seasons 1-6 are all great, IMHO. These last two seasons have completely ruined the whole show

See, if HBO did what they were planning to do before the showrunners messed it up, they could talk about what happened to Dorne (for that matter, Ellaria Sand may or may not be dead) and who that person was. Also, I would have liked to see Robin Arryn deal with the fact his mother and the steward are dead.

Or Sopranos. It could have been better than at least BB, but season 7 ruined it

Robin Arryn had a good episode.

I loved those books

I'm going to hold on to my HBO subscription for a while until His Dark Materials, Watchmen, and then eventually Westworld

Couldn't have said it better. Until the Jon/Daenerys scene was okay, but the rest was laughable.

You must feel let down

Sopranos ending aged well. This one will not. Best 6 seasons of any show ever and 2 seasons of complete trash. Biggest let down in television history.

I mean, that sucked but the rest of the last two seasons were so bad there was nothing really they could do.

Who cares? It's AAA. AA is where the $$$ is

Confirmation bias.

Good thing we're White Sox fans and we know better than the northsiders.

Most character development was either thrown out the window or arrested. Jon Snow, Sansa, Arya got the best of it. They're pretty much the same now as they were in season 6. Brienne, Jamie, and Daenerys were tossed and the result is pretty terrible.

Yeah, Daenerys throughout the show has compassion for the poor and downtrodden (and slaves) and a ruthlessness towards her enemies. This sudden change of character to killing everyone indiscriminately in King's Landing is not only staggering, it's also completely unbelievable. I think @bmags is probably right; the showrunners could have convinced more people of the authenticity of the change if they had more time. But here we are. Take a nuanced character, make her the Mad Queen.

Daenerys has been many things in this series. She's been impulsive, compassionate, and cold as ice. Has she ever done anything to indicate she's insane? (No, she hasn't). I can buy your "yeah, she has always been evil" argument, but you lose everyone when you say she's insane. She has no history of being insane.

Meh. Not sure why the other kingdoms would have any interest in Sansa over Jon Snow. A lot of people would have to die for that outcome to make any sense

If the writers have any talent left, Jon now realizes he needs to be king. Jon on the throne is the only ending which makes sense now

No. The best ending would have been for Daenerys to die in a battle with the night king or Cersei leaving a void for Jon to become king.

Too bad they shoehorned that in for seasons 7 and 8 because the writers are terrible

You should defend the Star Wars prequels next. They have the same poor character development in the final act. This may be the biggest tv letdown in history. Does it even matter what happens next week?
