What a shitty feeling.
I made a prediction and got the show spoiled and a warning out of it. What a mess, lol. Really subverted what I expected would happen when I first posted. It's funny how people who are worried about other people spoiling things often end up calling attention to and cementing things as actual spoilers in threads.
This whole season has felt like they're simultaneously rushing through plot lines and dragging their feet, so it's hard to guess when exactly anything will happen. Next episode could be all battle again, or the fighting could be over in the first 20 minutes, and I wouldn't be surprised either way.

I would be down. I could imagine them going for
some kind of anticlimax where nobody gets the kill on Cersei and she just dies in childbirth.

I'm happy for you lot. To watch your queen humiliated; witness her Mountain tear apart her enemies; sit back in awe as she spectacularly took matters into her own hands and destroyed all who opposed her; be gripped by fear as new enemies gather in incredible numbers to end her reign, and be stunned and amused as these enemies trip all over themselves as they snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Must feel great.
Cersei probably went back to the Red Keep perplexed and asked Qyburn, "did he really say that he knew that I wasn't a monster?!" 🤔

I just got a case of wine for the final two.I just want to say, before we get bogged down in the last few episodes, a round of applause for our host shira and the work they do managing both GoT threads. Really appreciate your efforts.
Fuck. Don't read some of the replies to that tweet. Some asshat posted an image of (what I'm assuming are) spoiler descriptions and I didn't realize what I was reading until it was too late. Shit.

How do you fuck up so bad that many of your main actors are at the best not enthusiastic about this season?
While I think he's just being coy here, it will be interesting to see how the actors viewed this last season in later interviews. I remember in the Battle for Winterfell episode featurette Dinklage rightly pointed out the absurdity of putting the defenseless people down in the crypts.
Wait, it wasn't a joke ? He is so apathic saying this I don't know anymore.

The only thrones I have watched are the very first episode and episode 3 of this season because I wanted to see some epic Lord of the Rings Helms Deep shit go down.
I'm in for the last two episodes though because fuck it why not. I want to see the train wreck along with everybody else.

Fortunately my #CerseiCrew have kept me in the loop so I am an expert.
Dinklage looking checked out half the time. God, it's just all been so good to follow
I missed those at first too lol

Good god if Arya and the Hound travel to
some casino and meet up with Hot Pie who tells them he is actually an international pie dealer

Kinda depends where 5&6 go
If 5 isn't superb it brings down 4 and 6
It ages poorly. The more you sit with it and think about it, the worse it gets

It's not dogshit/failure, but considering Endgame just came out and the expectations of a decades long saga, it does fall short of heightened expectations
On the surface all of season eight is 'not that bad'. Still entertaining in spots; a good spectacle at worst. But take five seconds and actually think what it does to the rest of the series and yeah, it's pretty bad.
The only uniquely awful part of season 8 for me is that the apocalyptic long night brought on by the army of the undead is just a footnote now. Basically just a justification for why Dany's forces against Cersei has been halved.
At this point I just want Bran to do something! That's all I care about now. I'm just too damn disappointed.
They ruined everything. I wish somehow we can get a proper retelling.
Just rewatched episode 4 and I liked it more than the first time. I gotta say the reaction has been way out of proportion to the quality of the episode. The first 50 minutes or so are really great and the last 20 are no where near bad enough to warrant the vitriol going around.
Episode 4 kinda unraveled the whole thing for me in a way that season 5-7 thus far have not, try as they did. It's like the penny dropped and idgaf anymore about how they end this and just here for the fuckery now.
When you try to move plot like that so fast, every action a character on screen makes feels so weightless and pointless(and also very very dumb) because they can just engineer w/e fucking thing they want now as long as it makes sense to D&D. Such a strange feeling watching ep 4....its like some made up show that did not have 7 seasons of setup before it and instead things just happen now.
Plus the night king was built up to be the end game big bad for years. Boom he's done after one battle and we still don't know wtf he wanted beyond "me kill".

The show doesn't want to show anyone's reaction to things besides the dragons
like why didnt we get a scene of Sansa reacting to Wun Wun being real?
