Yeah that was the Lumie alt, Noodle baited him into attacking about his diet. Blew his cover, ROFL.

This thread was better than the show in recent months.

this thread has slowed down way more than i thought it would. three weeks post-season between seasons was usually pretty busy around here. i know it's obviously because there's nothing to speculate on anymore, but damn. the end of an era.

The shitheap ending has really ruined the series. I don't think it has any rewatch value, either. You'd just be frustrated seeing all the cool things that turned out to go nowhere. Pic related.

Watch up to season 6 and then read fanfiction

I think you could go to Season 7 and then pretend that everyone died to the massive army of the Undead. That would make for a fitting enough ending that would keep in line with how the story should have played out, given the title quote of the first season.

How about a 3 way clusterfuck between WW, the North, and Cercei, where 80+% of the main characters die? Bitches should have paid me millions.

Game Of Thrones' director Miguel Sapochnik talks getting "visually policed" by showrunners

When you hear director Miguel Sapochnick say he “pissed off” Game Of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, you might assume it’s because he forgot the lights while filming during “The Long Night.” But, no, by that point Sapochnick had already paid his dues. On a new episode of...

He wanted to kill off as many named characters as possible in Ep 3 but D&D said no

"But David and Dan didn’t want to. There was a lot of back and forth on that.” Sapochnick says he eventually relented because “there comes a point when they dig in and you just don’t want to be there.”

lol i'm guessing he doesn't plan on working with them again :)

he's gotten enough cred from GoT and a few other shows he's done episodes for that i don't think burning that bridge will affect him much tho

On one hand, I felt the death Jorah ended up having on the show was pretty good in that we at least got to see the emotional effect on Dany...but I think I would have liked his version a whole lot better with a lot more deaths, and not just a few semi major guys with a few red shirts.

yeah either have Sam in the crypts to protect his role as future story teller guy or have him be heroic and die, not whine like a bitch among the bodies and live.

Killing off Brienne would have been better for some as it would have been a trigger for Jamie to return- and they could keep their Jamie is not a complete ass hat redemption arc alive.

But no, I told you so... Jamie has no redemption arc he is a piece of shit like everyone in his family - apparently even Tyrion

The thing about GOT is the idea that anyone could die at any time. This episode shit in the face of that and all the main characters being seconds from death, then the scene cuts away for 15 minutes, then cuts back and now they're seconds away from death again somehow. Repeat. Is fucking garbage

The experience I have thinking back on this show is very similar to that one you get after spending an hour browsing porn only to end up with an unsatisfying finish, and the shame that comes along with it.

Especially THAT episode...if Jorah goes out and gets wrecked in the first scene, I agree completely it would have set an all bets are off vibe that would have been great especially with a few more main deaths.

i think they didnt kill them off because they had nothing left for episode 6. as it was, episode 6 felt like it ended with jon killing Dany and Drogon flying off with her corpse. something they could have done in ep 5 instead of all that 9/11 porn filler. when you really think about it, they threw in so much filler that they could have only had 4 episodes or even just 3. it was a huge waste of time.
