I appreciate their willingness to expand the universe and show qaarth and bravos and the grass sea and shit. sort of commendable that GRRM created like 5 or 6 distinct and complete locations/cultures. Spending time in Dorne was a good idea, and killing off the hot daughter was CR, but D&D flexed their terrible writing skills with the lesbian assassin squad

That doesn't make any sense, the entire series led us to bellieve that the coming of winter made it possible for the dead to march south, not that they caused the winter.

There are had been numerous winters without any white walkers appearing south of the wall.

The show-runners seemed incredibly inconsistent with this. People talked of winters that lasted a generation, but no one had seen a wight or a walker for centuries. Long enough that no one believed it anymore, but everyone definitely knew about long winters. Probably THIS winter was brought by the walkers, but it wasn't a "true" winter.

Kings Landing appeared to be in the tropics. But then out of nowhere Drogon is covered in snow. So maybe that flurry was the winter everyone feared so much? If so, they were overreacting a bit. In the flash forward Kings Landing was back to tropical weather so what winter there was couldn’t have lasted more than a month or two.

First point:

The greyscale they first show in the series, with Shireen and the exiled on Valyria, isn't a scale on top of the skin. It turned the tissues into stone. This was even clear when they first showed Jorah with it. Then they retconned it later to show it as some kind of rash.

Second:

They make a big point of saying it was INCURABLE. Shireen caught it as a bay, and Stannis had to bring the best maesters in the kingdom to barely save her life.

Then later we find out there's a cure it just *rarely* works and maesters just let them all the victims die rather than attempting it. Lol what a joke.

Yeah, I realize they contradicted themselves with that; just saying that the cure as described was no picnic and would kill most people.

As for the second point, it sounds like we agree that Sam's lack of medical training was kind of irrelevant

It's relevant in the sense that maester didn't even attempt it because of the difficulty, then Sam does it by himself in one night with no training. It's inconsistent with what we've been told.

the fat guy that was friends with john.

theon's sister

I don't get why everyone is pissed off over arya and bran. they spent the whole series building them up to be omniscient and omnipotent so they could kill the knight king. makes sense.

everyone knew while watching the show that a lot of it was wandering nonsense. given that all of modern pop culture is fake news to distract you from the world's real problems its not inconceivable to see how a well put together show could throw in a bunch of red herrings to throw you off. none of it was as bad as that seaseon in breaking bad with the plane or whatever.

hopefully the major networks learn to do actual season arcs instead of just dragging out a decade long story though.

Also feel like they totally glossed over mankind having to unite to fight a supernatural existential threat.

It's like if a numerically and technologically superior alien race invaded earth and every man, woman and child had to defend their very existence and then ultimately emerging victorious in the face of impossible odds. Would that not have serious and permanent effects on our social, economic and political dynamics? It's not like that could happen and the day after declaring victory we go back to focusing on Trump/Biden 2020.

They literally served together and Paulie basically flipped out over bullshit. The Russian guy 100% would go to war with the Sopranos over this. If you Google it you'll see that the writer was a one shot guy and there was never any intention of building a story arc out of it so it got dropped.

Playing devil's advocate a bit, many of the seemingly pointless characters like the blacksmith guy ended up being heads of the main houses in the end, and in retrospect the show told the stories of the people who would be the leaders going forward, which was only brought into perspective at the end. It's sort of a cool concept just badly executed because several characters at the end meetup were completely new (or I had no idea who the fuck they were). But telling the stories of the bit players who go on to end up.as the heads of great houses isn't a bad idea in principle, if that's what they were going for.

Bran going back in time and mentally breaking people

Given his visions of the Mad King right around when he broke Hodor (ensuring that he held the door), it seemed clear that Bran was going to give the order to “burn them all”

Which makes me wonder if he was also the one to make Jon Arryn start repeating “the seed is strong” line. Could tie into the dropped famine plotline.
