  1. My spoilerfree opinion on the ending of GoT.

    FFS I just saw the episode where they threw Cercei in jail. That is only Season 5. I do not even KNOW anything about the ending of GoT. I do know that the 2 main guru's are the most hated toons in the eyes of the fans, such a strong reaction from the fanbase I have not seen for YEARS. The only thing that comes close is when I was in spittle range of some uber-nerd's litteral waterfall of words regarding how 'Han shot first'.

    Talking about Star Wars. The main guru's behind GoT are going to get their own Star Wars trilogy. But also Ryan Johnson was supposed to get his own trilogy. Meanwhile if I can take this thing anywhere close to serious http://rainbowdash.net/url/874466

    If I had a betting sort of personality though I know what I would put my money on. But I am not. I'm just going to enjoy the Hindenburg-Train-Airbus-Hybrid-Crash while sipping my favorite beverage.

    It makes me feel like a winner.

    1. @drinkingpony Spoiler-free, people are mad because the show writers got extremely focused on being unpredictable, basically ditching character development and having the cast behave counter to how they did in previous seasons just so they could say "hah, bet you didn't predict this!", which is just poor writing.
      It's another case in a long list of tv writers thinking they're much better at their jobs than what they are, and believing letting their "creativity" run free will improve upon the source material rather than trash it.

      And that's how you get 1.45 million people to demand you get fired and replaced https://www.change.org/p/hbo-remake-game-of-thrones-season-8-with-competent-writers

      1. @nerthos You can’t fire a guy who just finished his job

        1. @mrmattimation You definitely can considering they're both starting other projects and massively negative image can make investors reconsider their choice of director or writer.

      2. @nerthos I think they need a different petition, to make the ending match the books'.

      3. @nerthos [because the show writers got extremely focused on being unpredictable]

        Ohhnoo... I heard the Ryan Johnson story one too many times before, I did not like it then. I'll assuredly will not like it now.
