my first attempt at stealing this episode was a fakeout, someone uploaded the southpark episode making fun of Game of Thrones as episode 8 and since that was far more entertaining than this show has ever been, I got distracted watching that instead of the season Finale.

live view coming soon

What the fuck? All that was , was a long ass setup towards the final season. You get to watch everyone marching to war and getting ready to fight and......done. Enjoy your fucking blue balls..

You could literally watch the recap for episode 1 season 3 and get the same thing. NO war or dragon action at all, save watching them fly and having one more added to the mix right at the end. This series draws the story out way to much. They could have done this in 2 seasons....

Haven't watched it yet, but I was afraid of this happening all season the way it was drawn out.
The insult was they spent all season with the tagline to pick a side for the war, then don't show umm the war.
This isn't going to go well for reactions if they seriously didn't even have the battle.

After that shit, next season better be nothing but total carnage every damn episode. Main characters better fucking die each episode in a pool of blood and fire with thousands dying around them. I watch this shit for the dragons, not the actors.

Fucking ass holes...

Ok live view of what better be the Battle of the Gullet. so far 100% of the scenes are invented for the show and not a single one is from the book, just like 95% of this entire season and 85% of the entire show (both seasons).

ridiculous bargaining scene with the Triarchy, but notice how they admit that the trade that is being blocked with King's Landing is tapestries and perfumes, not fucking food? God I wish these writers owned a map or a copy of Fire and Blood, the book they aren't even pretending to be adapting to make this woke garbage.

weird they want the stepstones in exchange for joining the naval battle, since they already fucking own them, even in the show. After Daemon killed the crabfeeder with an assist from his brother King Viserys on dragonback, despite not even own a fucking dragon, remember that in season 1? Daemon became "king of the step stones" then he fucking left and has been doing his own thing for a year now, they took the stepstones back immediately since nobody was there to stop them.

omfg what in the name of androgynous tranny fuckery is this thing supposed to be? Ahh just a dyke I guess.

Aemond burning castles for fun, that does happen later but its a nice preview of things to come.

Aegon and Larys, kinda lame that they are explaining him fleeing that was a nice surprise from later on, not sure why they are telling the audience now. Oh lame, "aemond fled in terror" yeah right. Ok so this is what they are going with to explain why king's landing is unguarded. Not an attack on Harrenhal but everyone just running away then? fucking gay. Oh and Aemond's going to kill aegon huh? haven't completely assassinated the character yet but that should just about clinch it, a coward who ran away and now plotting to kill his brother now that he spent months *healing* up and, you know, not just killing him immediately after his injury when it would have made the most sense and easily explained. These writers are so fucking dumb.

Making this scene about Larys trying to convince Aegon to flee is so fucking retarded. Aegon is the one who planned this escape, he goes to get his *not dead* dragon and heads to Dragonstone where he kills all of Rhaenyra's people and waits for King's landing to overthrow her which they do immediately because she's such a shit ruler and then he feeds her to his still *not dead* dragon.

didn't really need the TMI about his cock exploding lol

Oh look its Rhaena she totally abandoned her duty to escort Rhaenyra's two youngest children to Pentos and instead somehow got lost? roaming around the Vale of Arryn, imagine getting lost in a narrow valley with 1 main road down the middle of it that leads from the castle to the port where you were supposed to head off to. If they want her roaming around lost in the mountains then she'd be dead in seconds to hill tribesman.

this bastard scene is kinda lolsy clearly setting up Jace being upset and storming off headstrong to die in the battle of the gullet, makes his death heroic i guess.

Rhaenyra worried about the moral integrity of the bastards she just gave a bunch of WMDs to...yeah ok nice dodge there, dont worry they betray the first chance they get.
Ok they are at least mentioning the other dragons, so far it had only been Vhagar mentioned.

ok finally daemon is doing something? maybe fuck, nope nevermind. This is the most disappointing change of this season tbh. I get it, they drastically cut the budget to this shit show, cut the episode counts, etc, so yeah they cut a bunch of battles from it, but there are ways to show battles or the after affect of battles with a low budget, they did it throughout the first few seasons of GoT and you still kept the story intact without neutering half your characters.

In the book he assembled his army at the end of last season and has had 2 major battles so far this season, working up to a 3rd battle where he feints an attack on the lannister army so that he on his dragon can evade the army from king's landing + Aemond/Vhagar, and join Rhaenyra on the siege of King's landing.

But instead this season he's just moping around Harrenhal with a case of the yips and delusions, with this whole "is he loyal to Rhaenyra or not" garbage storyline.

Oh so now Alicent is back and she is the one who wants to flee with Halaena? what the fuck is this scene? its so stupid got this writing is bad. what a cunt they are making alicent into.

Oh look they remember that Criston Cole exists. he took off marching his army 3 episodes ago, lets check back in annnnd, its Alicents retarded brother challenging him? Oh so its common knowledge that Cole is fucking Alicent? I mean this whole storyline was just made up for the show to make Cole into a bad guy and an Oathbreaker, he of course never did this in the book. what shit writing, oh and now they are implying that all king's guards break their oaths. i mean wtf not just character assassination of Cole but of the entire fucking king's guard.

This is weird though because Gwayne is not with Cole's army, he is in King's landing, in charge of the Gold Cloaks. well he thinks he is in charge of the Gold Cloaks, he dies really fucking soon, as soon as Rhaenyra flies to King's landing with her dragons and Daemon's gold cloaks murder him and open the gates to Rhaenyra.

Welp, actually kinda enjoy the Nihilism of Cole. I mean if you are going to ruin his character I'm fine with this aspect of it.

Ohh dyke mud wrestling, yeah this totally makes so much sense. wtf is this just humiliation ritual for any character who is a straight white male? par the course for this show so far.

Oh look a fake out, "I want to have children with you" Holy shit she isn't a dyke? Just kidding, "fuck my wives." lol i swear the lesbian space witch writers from the Acolyte must be guest writers of this show.

all these scenes are just dragging ass, time wasting, why are they wasting so much time with this filler garbage, get to the fucking action please.

wtf Rhaenyra's plan is to attack fucking oldtown and Lannisport? No army just dragons. god she is so fucking stupid. No bitch you just fly over king's landing and take it without a fight. they've already completely crippled the other side with shit writing and giving you ridiculous plot armor, you literally just have to fly to king's landing with your 6 fucking dragons and you win the war. Your husband and his dragon has this massive army which hasn't even been used up since they couldn't afford to have any battles this season with your shit budget, just spend 15 minutes flying to king's landing and you win the war.

Ahh fuck I thought they would at least have Daemon do something this fucking season, more delusions and getting bewitched by Alys? Oh cool lets give him visions via the weirwoods, try and connect this show to shit that happens 170 years later like this totally makes a lot of sense to him. Cool he gets to watch his own death by drowning. Yeah this is supposed to be totally profound or something? convince him to come around or something, sure, sure.

Oh damn this episode is an hour and a half long? god it feels long, get to the fucking point already.

idk why they are suddenly giving Halaena agency and speaking lines, she's now a character? She's been nothing but a fucking down syndrome retard for 2 seasons and now she's this prophetic character. Yeah this is opposite of the book, She's a real character before watching her son die and then she is a completely grief stricken shell of a person who has no agency, they never bother her to ride her dragon but of course in the book there wasn't so much shit writing to get them into this pickle they are in right now.

Oh cool let's have Rhaenyra fly her dragon to Harrenhal, the one place where the largest dragon alive along with 3 fucking enemy armies are marching towards right now. God she is stupid/stupid writing. Yeah that makes so much sense. Even with all the changes made to the show there is still the King's Landing Army, Lannister Army, and Reach army en route to Harrenhal and Aemond/Vhagar headed that way too. They know this, this is why they fucking gathered their armies here. Aemond should just descend from the heavens, merc all 3 of the dragons and then burn down this keep and wipe out all opposition.

what's worse she marches into the grand room with the entirety of Daemon's army? fucking alone? If she does suspect him of treachery she is a fucking retard for this, whats stopping him from just merc'ing her? Oh yeah, shit writing plot armor.

Oh look that profound vision given to Daemon that makes no fucking sense at all totally changes his mind of course. That completely useless and unfulfilled prophecy? Your line has absolutely fuck all to do with anything, remember GoT's shit ending? If jon had never went north for no reason and if Danaerys had never flown north of the wall and lost a dragon (hilariously bad writing there, since dragons *CANNOT* fly north of the wall), then the stupid night king would never have been able to bring the wall down and never have been able to march south. Or even if he did manage to march south, your lineage still had fuck all to do with anything. Arya won the war remember? Excusing this show's shit writing by tying it in to the worst writing of the last few seasons of GoT is fucking LOL.

lol what a meta line, "until death, or the end of our story" literally sounds like "Until death or this show gets cancelled"

fuck there is still 30 goddamn minutes left? gonna take a break.

continued. still 100% of this shit is completely made up. HOLY FUCK NOTHING FUCKING HAPPENS? And entire season of bullshit filler????? How fucking dare they.
Corlys and his bastard having this heart to heart, oh wait just ragging on him for being a shit father? First Black man of westeros abandoned his children, no child support paid to his side chick baby mama? pretty sure they are going to lose DEI points for this scene.

oh cool more scenes with Hilary Clinton and her girltoy, more shit writing.

Ohhh look, Alicent can sneak on to fucking dragonstone? more teleporting women. Remember how earlier this fucking episode Aemond shut down the fucking port? no fucking ships can leave? to prevent any other bastards from leaving and joining Rhaenyra as potential dragon riders? remember that happened like 30 minutes ago? these writers didn't remember that for some reason.

god this whole dialogue is cringe AF. I so desperately want to fast forward through this shit writing.

Oh cool lets make Alicent a fucking traitor and set her own daughter up to be killed, fuck this is such shit. And Rhaenyra refuses to take the fucking offer? she is so fucking retarded. Demanding yet another son? Oh and alicent totally agrees to this, lol.

they are running out of time for the actual battle, wtf. I mean how long was the battle of Blackwater? It was at least 75% of that episodes content. we're down to 15 minutes and they haven't even started the fight?

Finally a shot of Daeron on Tessarion and the high tower army (the largest army of the war), ok finally shots of lannister army marching.

Wtf this seems like a montage....and we're running out of time. ARE THEY NOT GOING TO SHOW ANY FUCKING BATTLE? THIS IS HOW THEY END THIS SHIT SEASON? Just garbage dialogue between two stupid cunts and traitors?

and wtf is Otto doing in a jail cell? wtf...
WTF the last 15minutes of my download is retarded dyke faggot writers giving commentary on their own shit fucking writing? holy fuck what a waste. This show can't get cancelled fast enough.

edit: At this pace I can't see this show getting renewed for a season 4 so they are going to have to finish the entire story in 8 episodes of season 3. that means they are going to have to cut out every single land battle down to probably just 1 major land battle, prolly end up being a combo of the first and second battle at tumbleton. They'll just have all the riverland stuff teleport to the reach, not like they own a map.

At this point i'm not going to bother with spoiler tags, this shit doesn't deserve it.

Season 3 first episode they'll probably find a way to make it absolute garbage filler, but it should be the battle of the gullet, death of Jacerys and his dragon, loss of of Aegon III and Viserys, leaving Rhaenyra believing that 3 of her 4 remaining son's just died (her last being Joffrey who is schrodinger's cat, he currently exists neither in the Vale nor on Dragonstone).

By the end of the episode Aegon III will be discovered alive but still Rhaenyra will be pissed and immediately siege king's landing, mad queen style. She will, in her rage, have Alicent and Halaena raped repeatedly (rumored to have happened in the book but doesn't actually happen), Halaena will kill herself along with her youngest Son Maekor by jumping into the spike pits.

This they will then use to have the small folk start to turn against her, along with her having no gold in the treasury the food riots/famines will really start to kick in to over drive. They will probably skip the 3 kings storyline and just do the small folk/shepard storyline? IDK they only have 8 episodes and they love their useless filler.

They will have the major battle of tumbleton where the two bastards betray rhaenyra and wipe out the riverland army, like I said previously Hugh's wife and her family will somehow be killed during this battle which is why he betrays, since they decided to make him so honorable in the show. Ulf will just continue being Ulf so far he is the **ONLY** character in the show who is properly portrayed (a drunk power hungry rhapscalion braggard with no morals or qualms for shit). Addam will heroically sacrifice himself to kill of these traitors which ends with all of them dying, so that's Daeron/Tessarion, Ulf/silverwing, Hugh/Vermithor, and Addamn/seasmoke all dead (Silverwing lives for a bit longer in the book but doesn't matter)

Daemon will have not went with them or flee, or idk, he will stick around harrenhal with Rhaena now and they will hunt for Aemond/Vhagar. Aemond Vhagar will twirl his mustache is true evil fashion and burn down cities. They will eventually find one another and Daemon + Aemond will both die at the battle of the God's eye along with both of their dragons. Rhaena will fuck off to the Vale I guess? idk it's weird giving her sheepstealer. but it's not like this show has to concern itself with accurate story telling.

Eventually the peasantry along with the faith militant style uprising in King's landing will overthrown the gold cloaks, break into the dragon pit and murder all the dragons. Rhaenyra's last son Joffrey will mount Rhaenyra's dragon Syrax to fly to the dragonpit and save his own dragon, but Syrax will toss him from his back and Joffrey will fall to his death, leaving only the baby toddller Aegon III as the only living Heir of Rhaenyra. All the remaining dragons will be killed by the smallfolk.

In the uprising, Rhaenyra will be forced to flee king's landing, where she will arrive back on dragonstone to find all her people are dead and Aegon III has been waiting there for her. He feeds to his dragon.

The final scene of show is Aegon II returning to King's landing on his injured dragon. The only other remaining dragon is Moondancer/Baela, who was hiding. She ends up killing Sunfyre and near mortally wounding Aegon II, but at the cost of her dragon, she then manages to flee. This way a strong black woman gets the final word in.

The rest of the story is just explained in an epilogue title card where they just state that aegon II is later poisoned by his small council and the toddler, Aegon III is crowned as King. Sorry we wasted too many episodes on bullshit filler so we ran out of money and can't finish the story proper, girl power rah rah.

it was beautiful to see a black man yell at his dad for being an absentee dad, its a real problem in the black community and it was nice to see a show acknowledge it. someone should also tell that crazy ass black girl at the end that dragons don't shit meth



what a shitty season at least we got ~5 mins of cool dragon shit the whole time but thats like finding a pistachio in your maggot infested steak

Sorry we underestimated how truly shitty these woke writers are. right now about only about 15% of this show (both seasons) is even loosely based on the book, it's almost entirely bullshit filler made up by shitty writers. Season 2 is only 5% based on the book.

We should have had 3 major land battles and 1 major sea battle to date, if this was based off the book (and a more creative writing team could have dealt with the budget constraints while still telling an accurate story) but this is absolutely NOT based on the book at all, this is revisionist history of the 2016 election where Hilary Clinton win's and the evil white male trump loses.

What utter trash this was.

Literally felt like I've taken a girl out for 8 dates then not even got a kiss goodnight.

I had a friend over for a BBQ in the evening UK time, was a bit tipsy and went to bed at 130am instead of waiting for the torrent at 2am. Woke up at 430am after having a HOTD dream of dragon battles, then got up to download this. There was more action in the sliver of a fragment of my dream than in this


What utter utter trash, lmao

I actually hope they cancel it before s3

Seeing negative feedback across all social media platforms regarding the finale. (overwhelming negative feedback from people who normally lap up the latest bullshit)

Looks like it might have killed further interest.

I haven't seen hate for GoT like this with "???" reactions from core fans since Season 8.

Is it not like paying for a girl to go out on 8 dates and you don't even get to watch her fuck any of the 7 guys and 1 dog?

Time to rehire Sapochnik. A guy who actually understands GoT expectations and what big GoT moments are supposed to be.

If they keep Ryan Condall for next season that's an easy pass again. This new sole showrunner doesn't know what good TV is.

so apparently the temu Khal Drogo that had the only action scene of the finale (the mud wrestling) is a retarded youtube tranny. It runs a channel called philosophy tube so the line "What kind of person are you? A warrior? A philosopher?" is an idiots reference to that. So yeah, the show wasted 10 mins of everyones time self-inserting an ugly ass tranny for the lulz, how awesome

i could not for the life of me figure out what this character was doing in the show or why i was suddenly watching another show but there ya go. its apparently also in Acolyte and other recent shows so yeah, Hollywood isn't pushing an agenda or anything
