    Overall, I'd say my favourite character is a toss up between The Hound and Sansa. The latter had the most interesting arc, I thought. She was such a little shit in the early seasons, but she grew to be a wise and formidable woman, the result of her life experiences. The Hound was just easy to watch.

     

    Sansa is probably my most disliked character now that all's said and done.  Yeah, hated her at the start, began liking her as she gained agency in later seasons, but that's what the show wanted from me as a viewer.  Pretty sure it still wanted me to like her when she became discount Cersei/Littlefinger lovechild, but really she was just another ridiculous contrivance there to force the Daenerys plot stupidity.  For a show that so boldly told us the Starks weren't standard untouchable heroes via Ned's execution and the Red Wedding, it sure ended up bending over backwards to make that the case in the end.  Didn't give a fuck about any of them save Jon personally.

    What do you mean?  I don’t really watch any of their shows but I’ve heard The Good Wife and its spin-off The Good Fight are cool at least.  What bad shows would you compare the trailer to?

     

    I don't watch any either but I'm familiar with their advertising and it all seems very comically dour.  A rather unsubtle way of putting it would be TV for Very Serious Baby Boomers.  There is a hint of that in this trailer but it may just be an advertising thing.

    Can you imagine Williams working with a director like Nolan?  He'd pull his remaining hairs out!

     

    Why?  Nolan is one of the most composer friendly directors working today.

     

    Don't have much opinion on Ludwig but good for him for landing the job.  Zimmer needs space for Dune and that is going to be a special score.

    When you think of the legacy Howard Shore left behind after his Rings scores, GoT seems like a blip on the radar. 10 years and five or six basic themes played on his laptop using midi files.

     

    Come on credit where credit is due.  Effective scoring that satisfied alot of fans.  That's hardly something to be scoffed at.

    How was the final episode? Was it the big piece of crap everyone on Twitter and Reddit is claiming it is?

     

    Could have been serviceable if not undermined by the same lazy shit writing that plagued the previous two episodes.  I may not like some of the plot points themselves but I think pretty objectively this was major shit anyway.  It's pretty astonishing that this could happen actually.
