Yavar Moradi 2,590 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 3 hours ago, Jay said: I just wish they had let Bryan Cogman lead the writing for season 8 instead of half-assing it themselves. THIS -- Season 8 Episode 2 ("A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms") was lightyears ahead of the other three so far in terms of writing. A pretty...um...stark...difference. It was almost like the good ol' pre-season 7 (or even pre-season 5) days. Really got my hopes up for the season to come after a somewhat lackluster first episode. Why did D&D have to insist on writing so many of these this last season, exactly?? Yavar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quintus 5,399 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Somehow Game of Thrones managed to eat out its own arse even harder than The Walking Dead did.

Popular Post Yavar Moradi 2,590 Posted May 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 7, 2019 No matter how disappointing seasons 7 or 8 of GoT are compared with the preceding seasons, I think it's silly to say that the show has fully "jumped the shark". There is still plenty of good stuff mixed in with the bad (which almost makes it more painful). Even the stupid North of the Wall "let's go abduct a wight" episode from season 7 was chock full of *wonderful* character interaction/conversations early on. And there is no way GoT is remotely as bad as The Walking Dead quickly became. Yavar A. A. Ron, Glóin the Dark and Bilbo 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fargo 297 Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 Didn't D&D once say they didn't even know Sam had POV chapters?

I'll have to use this on my third re-read (after finishing my current queue of books: WoT, LotR, Stormlight Archives, Dark Tower).
