Do you have faith in the final season of Game of Thrones?

After a season 7 with so many inconsistencies, bad story plot and bad use of characters...i wonder.

Season 6 was awesome and i still can't understand how they made that "whigt" plot nonsense.
There was good moments (Daenerys VS Jaime, Olenna Tyrell...Even Theon redeemed was good.

But then there was episode 5-6-7... =/
Many complains about fan fictions and we ll know that GRRM isn't on the show anymore (and sometimes he spit poison on it...) .

So i'm kinda scared about the final season and i'm kinda sad that most people will know GoT by the tv show and won't read the books.
You can talk about GoT without mentionning GRRM now . That must be awful for him even if TWOW and ADOS will be very different than the tv show.

So...still some faith?

The show went off the deepend after season 3, and wasn't good after season 1, so no, I don't.

I do. Plus I found season 7 entertaining despite some of it's flaws and generally think people were too critical of it.

This is probably the only conclusion to the story we'll get too since I doubt GRRM is going to actually finish the book series.

Nope. Will be a total rush job with plenty of moments leaving you saying "But why didn't the characters just do this?"

Should be some nice action setpieces though.

Nope. They lost me a long time ago. Only in it for Arya to start playing some real Murderball (TM). Everything else is butt.

Yes. Because people are going to be so mad that its not a happy ending. I have a feeling we are going to lose a lot of favorites. Bring it on

We will never know what Littlefinger plan is.
This is awful.

Not really, no. If the rapid decline in wuality wasn't enough to kill my hype, the extra long break between seasons was the nail in the coffin. It feels like the people behind the show just got bored of it, and they've been rushing to finish it off so they can do something else.

I have no faith whatsoever in the plot but I'm expecting at least 1 or 2 cool action scenes so at least it'll be somewhat entertaining. lol

This is the reason of GoT in 2019.
All 2018 budget goes to:

I mean, I expect it to be big loud and shocking, and kinda dumb but with some clever twists. Just like it's always been. It ain't Shakespeare, it never was. But whatever powder keg craziness they've had prepared for the ending all these years is going to be a big crazy spectacle, and of course I'm looking forward to it.

No, but I've already excepted that it was already going to be the case as soon as they got further away from the incomplete book series.

Not really. It will probably just be good television, as opposed to the "god-tier" variety of the earlier seasons.

At least it's going to have an ending. That's more than you can say for the books.

Not really, it's a shell of what it once was. They've fucked the characters up so badly that I really don't give a shit what happens to any of them.

No D&D are a joke and can't even handle the most basic of plot threads without shitting all over themselves. The last 2-3 seasons in particular have been so bad (except for the acting) that I only have watched for the unintentional comedy.

The latest season had high highs and low lows. I am confident that they will make an entertaining season that closes out the series with a somewhat satisfying ending, though (like many) I fully expect it to get shown up by whoever ends up finishing the series in book form.

Sanderson seems likely to me. He has done it before with Wheel of Time, writes at a high enough level, and is proficient enough to get it done in a year or two if he puts his other stuff aside.

And then he got caught.




The book series has arguably declined even more than the show

Books and tv show suggest a more secretive plan than that.
And then tv show dropped GRRM since season 5 and LF became dull.

Why season 6 was praised? Because they follow AFFC and ADWD and some chapter from TWOW.

Follow the books. Don't do fanfic

I think it'll be an entertaining action thriller like Battle of the Bastards or the Spoils of War but I don't expect as much originality or depth as GRR Martin's more guided vision in the first four series.

They'll deliver on spectacle, but there's only so much that can happen with the plot at this point. Like, outside of something like Cersei actually surviving I strongly doubt we'll get anything crazy. Though I might suspect that the closer we get to the ending the more GRRM material they actually have to work with, since endings and how everyone gets there tends to be more specific than not.

Not really. The hastened pace last season resulted in a much higher volume of sloppy cinematography, pacing, and utilization of teleportation. It was jarring.

I predict it will have some really stupid bits / lots of bad writing but it will be enjoyable nonetheless

Gods no. They've reached a point where I think it is literally impossible for them to pull off a satisfactory ending to this whole mess.

I do, I love the show. It's been a rollercoaster of quality but I like the good with the bad. And the bad, isn't even THAT bad.

As a book reader I have been holding off an watching anything past season 5 as not to spoil anything. Just waiting for those last two books to come out...

Yeah. I liked last season.
I also feel like everyone puts it on a pedestal as far as writing goes. Its definitely better written than most shows, but it doesn't stand alone...at all. Theres better written shows.

Its a soap opera with dragons and gore. Its fun.

I really don't think a saga like GoT can have a truly satisfying conclusion. It's quite impossible to give the right amount of closure to all the threads the story has left hanging, and balancing between the shock value the books are known for an actually giving some sense of purpose to the story is something even Martin has been struggling with.

I'm going to enjoy but I know I won't be "happy" about it, and it's fine.

Littlefinger plan will be unknown
We will never know who sent the assassin to Bran in season 1 (IT WASN'T LF)
Gendry gotta go fast
Night king goes Olympic
Daenerys travel westeros in one episod and was stuck during 2 seasons at Esssos
The whigs plot...

I mean, even Lost didn"t had so much inconsistencies.

The weaknesses of the last few series are largely reflective of Martin's text which has been treading water since book three.

I desperately WANT to.




That being said I don't. Not really anyway. The number of episodes just seem so few to wrap up such a massive story.


That's why I am looking forward to reading the actual canon of what happens when the books come out in a few decades.



But I will be there day 1. If only to see the Burlington bar reactions lol

The White Walkers win and the moral of the story is "Politics and infighting are stupid and ultimately accomplish nothing. Quit being dicks and actually get stuff done."

I don't have faith it will be as good as some of the earlier seasons, but I do really want to watch and am very excited for the ending.
