"See this interview? They should have spelled out word-for-word what they were going to do in the end! They're liars!!!!1!!1!1!"
Those after episode things are more to show what they want you to think after that episode, not to tip their hands on the whole series
Someone recently reminded me that Grey’s Anatomy premiered the same season as LOST and Desperate Housewives. How is that show still going??
it is a funny show sometimes! but seriously I dunno why it's a show people shit on - it's a very good doctor-based drama that has remained true to its characters.
OITNB is the last show that I can think of where I went from obsessed to can’t stand in a super short period of time. Normally if a show loses me I just drop off instead of sticking around to hate watch. I’ve done that with a ton over the years.
y’all are talking about inconsistent character arcs and writing for GOT but bringing up greys anatomy positively? my god
Yeah I dropped off hard on that. Went from binging to literally haven't thought about it until just now.
I believe Watchmen will be a better show than GoT ever was but it won't be anywhere near as big as GoT. So there won't be nearly as much vitriol and anger because the fanbase won't be as huge. But I promise you there will still be people that hate-watch/nitpick it to hell by the end of its run. That's just how TV shows get treated in general in 2019.
What are some possible reasons they decided to shorten the length of the seasons? Doesn’t seem like it could be budgetary... but it seems like it really hurt them
“Cersei walking past The Hound gif” is already on google autocomplete but doesn’t seem to actually exist yet. We just need one person to stop being mad at the episode for a second and make it happen.
Exactly. Due to her stubbornness and arrogance she died in the basement of the place she spent eight seasons climbing to the top of. By rocks. She could have been killed by being stabbed, beheaded, neck slit, burned alive, any of those could have been a nice result due to her stubbornness, arrogance and still be in the basement, but nope. All of that led to her being crushed by rocks. Rocks. Death by rocks.
Usually I like to see the same creative team retain control of a property all the way through a run, but it's a shame that they didn't hand it off to someone who still had the passion when it really does seem like more time / episodes would have served the story better. It seems like HBO was all for keeping it going. I don't really buy that this was ballpark the total number of episodes they were shooting for all along either. If that is true then they fucked up big time with the structure and pacing of the overall series.
This has been basically confirmed by a few different interviews and comments. HBO was willing to throw money at them to keep going but they put their foot down. I think some of the articles are in this thread but given how much it’s grown that’s no help now, lol.
Oakhurst is going to die in a rock climbing accident and I'm going to pay off the cemetery to make his epitaph "He died how he lived, with total disrespect for rocks."
I thought Jamie and Cersei were going to make it out alive (which would have been such a random ending for her) so when at the last second they are trapped and die, it brought back the feeling I used to get in the show when the unexpected happened. That made me like it, even though I get the complaints.
