Finished this show a couple weeks ago. Now to begin, I just want to say how much of a disappointment the ending was. Not just the ending, as in the last episode, but the the entire season. It’s tone was undeniably different to the previous seasons, nothing made sense, everyone was doing illogical things and things that should never have happened, happened. One of Daenery’s dragons getting shot down. Wtf? Was she not prepared, did she have no tactical way to go about it?
I felt the show began to go downhill after season 5 let’s say, season 1-4 were the very best seasons and by far the strongest. I like to rewatch shows a couple months/years after I finish them, but this show I’ll never rewatch simply because the ending isn’t satisfying and you get nothing from sticking with it for a solid 8 seasons.
I hated—absolutely loathed—that Jaime and Cersei got a ‘happy’ ending, in the sense that they didn’t have to suffer, they got to be together, and they had a little stupid soppy heart to heart before dying. I was expecting an ENDING scene. Something that you could rewatch and be like ‘damn, that’s sick.’ Their death scene was lame and such a shit way to end two important and well-written characters.
Cersei seemed to crumble all of a sudden, and suddenly forgot how evil she was? What?
Don’t even get me started on that god awful, cringe and utter garbage scene with Bran and the whole ‘gang.’ What the hell was going on there? It seemed to become a comedy in that moment, completely destroying the dark aspect of the show.
I love how the The Night King was killed by Arya simply because she was there at the right time and right place, no big showdown, no crazy fight scene where multiple main characters die because, to be fair, that’s what would’ve happened in real life. They’ve waited months/years for this moment, and it’s over in a few minutes. What the hell were we waiting for then?
Then Daenerys goes batshit and burns an entire city down. Then she dies. I swear Jon Snow backed her up the entire time? Then he just drives a sword through her?
Not to forget the depravity of multiple incestuous relationships.
I had to spend time thinking about this show and what the absolute hell they did to it. It’s a nightmare. No wonder the very last episode got a 4/10 on IMDb. I haven’t seen a single show with such a low-rated and let down of a final episode. Take Breaking Bad for example; they nailed the entire show down to the very last minute.
I also hate the arrogance of the airhead writers, acting like they did what had to be done and that they’re not apologetic about it in the slightest. I swear, a show with this much viewership and popularity (probably the most popular show in the world), should 100% deserve a second chance or a shot at a re-film. Something that scraps the entire last season (or at least last few episodes) out the window and makes it brand new.
It’ll obviously never happen, but one can dream. I did not watch the show in real time, but I can only imagine the pain of the viewers that followed the show for the full 8 years it aired.
My rant is over. There are a hundred different things I wanted to address, but I honestly don’t have the energy in me to drivel any more. P.S. why the hell did the actors change for Daario (guy went from fkn blonde to full brunette), Dickon Tarly (that was embarrassing), and The Mountain, of course. Could they not just get reliable actors that would be able to stay for the course of the show? It was cheap to change actors, especially with drastically different faces.
