I guess it’s expectation

At this point I was expecting some typical Hollywood ending where everything fits neatly together. Nice and predictable. Very low expectation going into this episode.
It ended up being my favorite one in a while. That battle in the city made Braveheart look like Mary Poppins.

Game of Thrones went from being possibly the greatest show ever to just another series with that episode

I thought it was great. Surprised by all the criticism

It exchanged story for spectacle.

They made certain story lines and character's arc's meaningless, arc's and story lines that had been built for years.

Just awful, awful writing. The worst fan fiction has nothing on this.

I disagree. Respectfully of course...

Their arcs were not destroyed, Ned and Robb never did anything that wasn't like their characters.

I think you are confusing having surprise endings with characters behaving in a way that is against their characters

Yea that makes sense

What defines a person's nature if not how they act?

When you spend 7 plus seasons building a narrative and a story for characters and then change it in the last two epsiode

Well, several of us have given reasons why it was so bad.

I really think it’s all because it was crammed into too short a time frame. If

I do agree. I think if we had the last two seasons being full seasons we would have had more time to develop the

The pace of the destruction kind of leaves you breathless, doesn't it?

Can't agree with Jaime

5/12/19 10:42pm

And what he said last week was ridiculous as well. Garbage

It has nothing to do with a happy ending. That’s ridiculous. It has everything to do with the meaning behind

shimmy

If you completely ignore character arc/development then Jamie has a great story.

Talking about the books

5/12/19 11:40pm

Not talking about Dany, everyone saw that coming. Jamie and Cersei come to mind, Varys to a lesser extent.

5/12/19 10:16pm

I disagree with Dany's arc

She was never about anything other than gaining power.

That does not bother me at all and I like they did that

Except it was very predictable, not less predictable.

5/12/19 10:16pm

Agreed, this has been telegraphed since last season

After they departed from the books, the story has been just ok with some
