Given how much of a hardon GRRM has for Tolkien it wouldn't surprise me that if he was going after the same angle. Yada yada the White Walkers and shit are gone. The unnaturally long seasons are gone. Magic and magical beasts and all that garbage are gone and forgotten and the world belongs only to men now.

Anyone remember when the night King’s mass Rez occurred? I’m not going back to watch it some of those corpses shown at the mass funeral should have exploded when Arya knifed the NK right? I don’t think everyone should have poofed but weren’t some of the main characters shown coming back as zombies?

I think the mechanic of it all was that the night King shattered, the White Walkers shattered, and major undead constructs (obviously greater than 5 hit die) shatter. Lower level undead simply "De-animate" and fall over. This is the magic principal known as "Save us an asston of CGI budget we can better spend on hookers, blow, and starbucks to drink on set during shooting."

There were some shots of Edd and Lyana Mormont getting rezzed, along with the Starks in the crypt. Could have been made into an interesting sequence where people have to confront the undead version of their old friends. Instead it went nowhere because they just wanted cool visuals instead of storylines.

Yeah this hit viral-- as well as some other cast comments/interviews.
It's starting to dogpile quickly. You posted this Monday, and by Thursday its still building traction.
The cast isn't stupid. They know the season is ass and there is no Big Bad (Disney) as there exists in other franchises to control what they are saying.
They are free to speak their mind-- expect more criticism in the coming weeks.
Kit Harington says the Game of Thrones finale is "disappointing" | PopBuzz Meets
We asked Kit Harington aka Jon Snow to describe the Game of Thrones season finale in one word and now we really wished we hadn't.www.popbuzz.com
This is what free speech looks like.
I posted the full interview. This is completely out of context

I feel personally saved from that crap, since I've seen it so many times in zombie flicks.

She named them right after they were born. You can't really see dragon cock until like 3 or 4 months. It is known.

It would have made for more interesting scenes than what we did get. I still say Jaime dying in the zombie wave then subsequently killing brienne because she was too in love with him to stop him would have been better than their shit love scenes.

I'm missing too much sleep to figure out just exactly how this is a burn on me, but I'll chime in anyway. The only bits of fiction I've ever seen address dragon clutch size were Dungeons and Dragons and the Dragonriders of Pern series.
Pern dragons are more sci-fi than fantasy as they are domesticated and quite a bit smaller than traditional fantasy dragons, the largest dragons ever being a bit smaller than Dany's dragons but with the vast majority being far smaller. "Present day" healthy clutch size would be in the 20-50 range.
D&D dragon clutch size was something like 2-5, but D&D dragons are also highly intelligent, capable of speech/complex communication, and just generally far more high fantasy than Dany's dragons.

It is a silly complaint, especially since there are so many other glaring problems with that scene that can't simply be hand waved away as "it's a fantasy world, they are magic ballistas". But it's the first thing we see in the scene and so that becomes the focus, because right away, as soon as it happens you're saying to yourself "Give me a fucking break, invisible ships with 100% accuracy?"
But then Dany charges straight at them and nobody can hit her, twice. And then she's right on top of them, ready to roast their marshmallows and in a position where the ballistas wouldn't even be able to target her and she... turns around and runs away, putting herself in shooting range again.
And she's flying in the goddamn air and somehow gets snuck up on. It's like a scene from the Walking Dead from the last episode I ever watched because it made me realize the show was garbage. There is some old man sitting on top of an RV with binoculars keeping an eye out so they don't get snuck up on by zombies, in the middle a very flat parse of land (a highway). Then suddenly there are hundreds of zombies slowly zombie walking toward them, so close they have to hide underneath cars because there is no time to run. It's fucking ridiculous and is a slap in the face from the writers that they think their audience is that goddamn stupid. Same shit here.
That whole scene is irredeemable. In fact the whole season is irredeemable. There is literally nothing that can happen in the final 2 episodes to tie up this story in a meaningful way. The writing has been so bad just to get us to this point that nothing can fix it.

Yea it's overused and would need to be well done to be interesting. Now we just see them wake up and then never see them again, making it pointless to the story.

After reading your assessment I don’t think he was trying to burn you he was just summoning your wisdom.

Starwars, GoT it's all just a cash grab now. They really have no reason to even try, they make millions regardless of the product they put out. They have put such little time into the story. I also don't see where all this money has gone, most of the episodes are filled with pointless dialogue.
