they refused to make 10 episodes, saying 6 would be enough. its different than saying "no dont give us more money"
also, at this point, HBO probably knew and this statement from them is just HBO doing PR to protect itself from the angry GoT fanboys
dim hedge
Hmm well regardless they should have done 10
Although the run times are similar to last season, it seems far more packed in
neon coral
Yup. and A lot of stuff that should have meaning, doesn't., because of that. Also Euron fucking sucks. Even the actor is disappointed in the character. They turned a badass dark lord, into some horny bam margera-like pirate.
crimson lance
crazy how its not a lack of skill or source material but a lack of wanting to make it

he misses

then danny wakes up from the coma

at all
dim hedge
then bran wakes up and realizes that season 8 was just a potential future and it was all a vision
which can be changed
😰
crimson lance
can bran see the future i see everyone saying this but i dont remember that being a thing
dim hedge
greensights are confirmed to be able to see the future
tribal tundra
I forgot honestly, tho i think he has some form of it
crimson lance
lmao why didnt bran just tell them what would happen then
dim hedge
yeah iirc he was also had the ability
he had greendreams like jojen
the third eyed raven also said that jojen saw his own death and knew it was confirming, which further confirms that they can see the future
it could be possible that the dagger theory was right and that Bran know in advance that Arya would kill the NK
but thats just some serious head canon of mine
tribal tundra
Yeah the show basically forgot that reckon had the ability too
crimson lance
because rickon added nothing
tribal tundra
Yo did anyone find a link
scenic terrace
Got ||Yes we learn in the last 5 minutes of episode 6 that bran was seeing the best future, and we go back to the night king killing bran

what should of happended was bran brings an army of crows and they peck the nk to death

they dont have it

crimson lance
they have visions of the past that they can see but thats it
scenic terrace
Bran affected the past
crimson lance
also no one has ever warged into a dragon
tribal tundra
Yeah theres some form of time travel
scenic terrace
Bran made hodor into a handicap
crimson lance
Bran always was meant to affect the past its one of those time loops thing
scenic terrace
No but in the first universe hodor wouldn’t be dumb
tribal tundra
Yeah i think got uses the no “free will” time travel theory, i forgot what its called
scenic terrace
Thus never would have been in the situation with bran where he needed to save him
Either way I must go watch the episode now

yep its time

Anyone has a link?

theres alot of things that dont make sense about it

and why would george hold back two books, and not just one
and why would just one actor on the show know this

im just fucking happy theyre done

they're not likley

This is likley false

because this means Grmm has been lying the whole time, also an actor giving away big info like this

as i said, idc about the details
and it should be fucking reasonable to expect hes had it done
crimson lance
This is something you officaly announce, not something a side character knows and announces
especially not at some random con

hes been working on it for years
broken fossil
i dont find it surprising a book is revealed at a con
crimson lance
but he doesnt have both done
yeah, but by a side character? and only a side character
theres no one else with him
you'd think someone who has written the books or published it or something would announce it
also its possible the guy isnt lying
But the info is wrong

this is the books were talking about, not the show. i have more respect for it than that. dont dehype this for me

|| dont think jaime said anything about it as he was busy getting stabbed ||
median plinth
also, that is true. Even the cast couldn't act their way out of how bad S8 ending was. Saw some interview thing, people asking some of the actors what they thought of the ending of S8. Emilia Clarke just gives a nervous laugh and says nothing, Jacob Anderson has to turn away because he can't tell the truth. Kit Harrington was asked to describe it in one word and immediately goes with "disappointing" realizes he's on an interview and changes it to "epic!"

LMAOOO
I was just watching that before the episode aired
and honestly, i think kit may have meant “disappointingly epic”

so then I read the spoilers.

i liked episode 3 a lot

i mean episode 3 made it look like their forces when from like 10k to 25 people

Its was fun

I can kinda understand the appeal because it's just like, hype killing and shit, and there's an appeal in that, and you don't have to pay attention to the details

but with ep. 4 you're just ignoring the entire episode if you don't see what was wrong with it.

|| I see a lot of people defending the Dany madness thing as well, and I mean if they actually built her madness into her character development instead of introducing it in the end of the last episode then it would make sense and actually be a really good ending ||

to me it all started with the mad king burning neds brother and father

||the ending of it im least concerned about, but its actually thematically beautiful, white horse included||
||its symbolism, i honestly dont give a fuck about hurr durr plot armor about some stupid rock falling on aryas head, thats not more important than the themes of the story near the end of its run ||
neon coral
You're seeing stuff that even the writers and the director aren't aware of.
broken fossil
||her getting on the white horse after everything around her is gone is symbolism, for her finally giving up on all this shit and stupid people all around her. everyone should die and she should have nothing to do with it. if that was aryas last scene ever it would be perfect than if she even kills dany ||
||i feel that scene GRRM inserted himself ||
||not D&D||
||that fits more his symbolism style writing ||
dim hedge
Didnt GRRM say he was hands off with season 8?
median plinth
Symbolism is fine, but not when it's written like something a 5 year old would do.
You can't just ignore the problems because "hurr durr symbolism"
broken fossil
||she got on a pretty dusty horse and symbolically rode away on a pale white horse away from war and all the blood shed. she said fuck it to everything.||
neon coral
Nah, that's just you seeing something that isn't there.
broken fossil
||im not ignoring the problems, ive joked and talked about them all here||
||but people will completely dissect this episode for complete garbage and thats completely unfair||
||thats not constructive criticism its being whiny, pointing out aryas plot armor in the ending scenes and her horse||
neon coral
If this many people, who haven't seen other peoples opinion, are all coming out and making the same points, then there's clearly an issue.

who are you to say they havent seen others opinions before typing their own out?

We're past the point of "contructive criticism" with GoT.

||yeah and the episode can still have its merits while having its flaws, its undoubtedly the best episode out of the 5 presented so far.||
||can anyone name a better episode in season 8? lol every previous ep was shit even i admit ep 3 was heavily flawed||
dim hedge
||I enjoyed epusode 2, i would enjoy it even more if episode 3 wasnt so flawed ||
|| i enjoyed it because i thought that that would be the last happy episode of the series ||
broken fossil
||it was ok, i found the dialogue shallow, besides the singing scene being done nicely, i liked the dialogue in this episode better ||
dim hedge
|| it upsets me how bad the dialouge has gotten compared to other scenes that they wrote like the arya and tywin interactions and the chaos is a ladder ||
broken fossil
|| i agree with that||
||been rewatching seasons 1-4 just to relive the golden years and the tywin scenes were just so so good, especially with arya||
dim hedge
|| Its not like they cant write good material it just feels like they gave up||
|| the cersi power is power scene was also great ||
broken fossil
||also agree||
dim hedge
|| GRRM said that the ending of the show would be very similar to the ending of his books, potentially this was the plot all along but DD fucked up big time in executing it. ||
|| I think if they didn’t rush it and Instead we had far more time to see the madness take over then it would be a far better ending ||
But that’s just my opinion
|| whats annoying is that DD were given the option of 4 more eps to develop it but they refused ||
Yeah, a big shame
Just going to watch the last episode next week and accept that this is how it ended
Yeah at least we have the books to look foward to eventually
Hope the rumours are true about || about GRRM holding onto the release until the show ends ||
tribal tundra
@dim hedge personally i wouldn’t really trust this
There are different types of rumours every time regarding the release and it never happens
GRRM needs to start snorting cocaine like a true writer
dim hedge
😞
They did supposedly come from an actor on the show which isn’t exactly reputable but I guess I am trying to raise my hopes up after what has happened
broken fossil
@dim hedge ultimately, i agree with u
calm sun
If GRRM finished the books but just didn't release them to wait for the show that would be a huge slap in the face
copper phoenix
imo I think he is really having difficulties dealing with so many plot lines
he kinda wrote himself into a corner
calm sun
I think after he released the last book he thought "I can rest now I have plenty of time" and overdid it
tribal tundra
The show is basically doing the same mistake as the author of naruto. Dude got tired and wanted to end the manga at chapter 700 and because of that everything felt cramped up and forced
The plot itself isn’t bad, but the execution is done extremely poorly. I’d argue that even 2 seasons are barely enough but 1 season? Hell nah
I was hoping before the season started that 6 episode would be enough, it couldve been tbh but not with 2 wars
broken fossil
The books are coming , book hype!
neon coral
the 6 vs 10 episode thing just seems convenient for HBO. Like when a superhero movies all hype, then when everyone says it sucks, the studio comes out and starts blaming others for the failure.
and If the book ever does come out, It's probably not gonna be any better. I doubt it'll even come out at this point. GRRM is better off having people go on forever about how "the book would've been better!" than actually writing it and having people pick that apart too

Ya, but I'm saying its convenient that this info came out after the episodes were poorly received.
scenic terrace
I mean it makes sense they'd want more episode anyway, means people are subscribed to hbo for longer
neon coral
Yeah, a lot of people only subscribe for the show
broken fossil
Everything in the books is better than the show
From season 1-8
Joffrey scenes , oberyn fight , battle of blackwater , etc
The only thing actually slightly better than the books is Cersei showing more emotion
That’s it
neon coral
not everyone wants to read books, though. I wonder If the reactions to the show, would affect the story of the next book(If it's even created)
dim hedge
1-6 was amazing
broken fossil
1-4 were the real golden nuggets, it started to drop off heavily at the sand snakes arc
copper phoenix
sand snakes, more like sand skeks
broken fossil
Everything regarding them is completely different in the books
Not even remotely the same story
neon coral
I see the book like I do half-life 3. It can never live up to the hype, and its likely it'll do more harm to the series than good. So why write a canon ending, when you can not and let everyone have their own thoughts on how It should go instead?
If GRRM can write that book, and make it something worthy, then he should go for it. But he hasn't and I really don't see it happening
broken fossil
He’s already written like 4 other books with thousands of pages each that tell a very incredible story, the show began season when GRRM released a dance with dragons I believe , you say this as if GRRM has no track record to back up his quality , but people knew of his quality much before the show ever began
To put him as the same level as the show is a complete insult to everything he’s worked up so far lmao
It’s nothing like half life 3 in this respect
*began season 1
The show writers have no idea what they’re doing , yes, but he always has.
neon coral
That's just you thinking the grass is greener on the other side.
broken fossil
No that’s just me who read the actual books
Being fully aware no one who hasn’t started them yet will start them after this
🤷♂️
neon coral
There hasn't been a new book in almost 9 years. Do we even know his progress on the current one? Getting a story started, is simple. Ending one, is not. That's where he's struggling, and people can, and will be, very critical of endings. Especially with his books.
broken fossil
Did you know there a fake Targaryen plot line that’s not even about him or dang in the books? That’s an example but the entire thing: It’s essentially a completely different story
*jon or dany
neon coral
His book being good isn't a given. If the story flowed, He wouldn't be putting it on hold for this long. There's plenty of other writers who started out strong, then lost their momentum and things just faded out. He's no exception.
broken fossil
It’s been 9 years , hence I believe the statement from the actor that they’re done by now , it’s not too hard to imagine
Nothing has lost momentum in the books
neon coral
At this point, he's got 2 books to go, right? We went from having a 2-3 year gap between books, to 5 years, to 6, to ? now.
broken fossil
If you haven’t read them please don’t talk about them like that
It just makes me a sad panda 😞
neon coral
Trying to have a conversation with a bias fanboy makes me feel the same way.
broken fossil
lol at least try to read the books if you’re gonna have a conversation based on them though
That’s all , not trying to be a fanboy , I would be down to talk about what people think are problems within the book
The books being that good is the reason why a swath of people are upset with the show to begin with
They are fully aware it can do better
warped drift
sheesh man why is everyone trying to bash everyone on this server , who am i kidding its in all servers
neon coral
So you can't have a conversation, or make actual arguments, beyond "I read the books so I know more and my opinion means more" ? Stop assuming you're the only person who's read the book. Whether someone has or not, doesn't invalidate their opinion, or the shared opinion of thousands. And this is exactly like half-life 3 at this point, down to the people blindly defending something that doesn't exist because "Valve(GRRM) is great". There's a clear parallel there.
broken fossil
I don’t think rebelled or I were bashing , I do see where rebelled is coming from, the upset from the show is justified , I was just trying to defend what I thought has been established as solid reading material for years now
I’m not saying I read the books to lord it over your head , rebelled , I would just like to know which specific parts of the story within the book people would have a problem with
warped drift
i didnt mean the two of u in particular
broken fossil
Because it’s not the same as the show, so if people had something they didn’t like about the books I’d genuinely like to know what that is
One complaint I personally had with A Dance With Dragons is perhaps it gave us TOO much of dany in Essos plot. It was tons of names and branching plot lines that didn’t appear in the show , and it was frankly a lot to keep track of and remember.
vapid marlin
As someone who read, I am a firm believer in got being overrated
cant speak for the show though
Books are def good, its just not something id compare to tolkien like a lot of people do
i've seen some have the gall to compare grrm to frank herbert
copper phoenix
idk why people even compare to tolkien lmao
dim hedge
I have never watched LOTR, should give it a try
copper phoenix
just because they're fantasy I guess
got is far more focus on politicking and has very little fantasy elements in it
also the show even cut most of the fantasy parts
broken fossil

I agree about the frank herbert bit more or less lol
Dune the movie was not Dune the book though 😅
the book was far better than the movie , as is the case for GRRM lolz
And yeah LOTR is a different beast, I wouldn’t compare them too much

calm sun
The books already being done makes no sense
Why would they tell him to not release them? What do they gain?
Why did he say he was writing it multiple times relatively recently, lied to throw people off?
Why keep announcing dates then delaying it?
Why talk about how challenging writing asoif is as if he's still doing it if it's done.
It doesn't add up

Heartstone x GoT s8 episode 5 meme:
median plinth
So, I watched episode 5 finally.
Well, watched is putting it loosely. Idk if I can call it bad, because I was pretty disinterested about halfway through ||when Kings Landing starts getting destroyed|| and just was doing my assignment while it played in the background and I occasionally looked up when there was no dialogue.
1st half of the ep was humorously bad though.
neon coral
Was some Anakin/revenge of the sith level type of "wtf is this"
Just watched Aquaman for the first time. Was better than expected. Jango Fett being in it is pretty cool, and the costume designs for Aquaman & Ocean Master were amazing.
Was really expecting Willem Dafoe to be a twist villain.
Black Manta looked like Kevin Hart & 50 cent had a baby

@copper phoenix ||agreed. I don’t mind the plot itself we even had multiple hints throughout the seasons that she was no saint and the lust for power was clouding her judgment. The real problem is the execution. It should have been done in at least 2 seasons so the character development didn’t feel forced||
GRRM himself wanted there to be around 10-11 seasons

thats an unrealistic, and stupid amount of seasons for a tv show.

He was vital to the next story and I dropped the show after that

Daryl didn’t even exist in comics , sure he was a good addition to the show but then they’d have to figure out a good character arc for him
