The bigger question is why Tyrion didn't immediately have LF executed for treason as soon as he got to King's Landing. He knew that LF framed him for the attempted murder of Bran, and basically kicked off The War of Five Kings.
(This is only a factor in the books, I don't think Show Tyrion ever found out that LF framed him)
Is Season 5-6 the Bad Pussy episode? It's such a standout BAD episode until the endgame hits.
Caviar has unveiled a limited edition Game of Thrones-inspired Samsung Galaxy Fold following the HBO series' finale.
With only 7 available to reflect the 7 Kingdoms of the show, this nearly $8,200 USD phone is upgraded from its $2,000 USD retail counterpart with a carbon fiber leather and gold outer shell.
Was it ever confirmed how much of this was conformation bias? Amazing portraits though.

Lindsay Ellis getting ready to rip the shit out of GoT.
I liked episode 2, 3, 5. I thought it was rushed and the season needed at least 4 more episodes for character development and proper goodbyes (and better writing). Episode 4 was the ultimate insult to characters and audience. What i mean is that people here listen to interviews and translate that towards their own opinion. The reactions portraits you posted maybe aren't about the writing or the quality of the show. That's just a wild guess. Could be of course. But could also be about something else.
Lindsay Ellis is making a takedown video with a longer runtime than season 8.
Best phone ever for best season ever.A confirmed problematic phone decorated like a currently hated TV series. How many gun jumps is that?
I really like Lindsay, but considering that Kit is in rehab over the stress (and alcohol) from the show, some of the fun critiquing the show has been lost. I know that Lindsay won't mean for it to be an attack on Kit himself, and I do think a lot of the better critiques have avoided calling out the actors, but you can't tell me that this blowback didn't play some role in Kit's health problems. It's all fun and games until someone really begins to feel the stress of the show and the weight of the disappointment from fans. D&D have been fun targets because they genuinely don't seem to give a shit and have moved on, but if in return someone like Kit is taking all the criticism really personally then this isn't fun anymore. Even the if the best, most honestly, least personal, most constructive criticism is adding to the stress on the people involved in the show, then I'm not sure we should be adding to it right now.
I have really enjoyed some of the high level, thematic, critiques of the show, but it's good to be grounded and reminded that there are real people on the other end who put their blood, sweat, and tears into the show and that the deluge of criticism can't feel good.
Jon didn't need to fight the NK, and honestly in retrospect I'm glad Arya did the deed because otherwise she seemed wasted. But to not have anyone fight a single WW was absurd.
What? Relax man, I'm not sure how that was what you took out of my post. If you're getting enjoyment out of critiquing the show, that's cool, so am I. For me, personally, a little of the fun came out of it with Kit's statement. You can keep doing you, it doesn't make any difference to me. Lindsay's show will always certainly be good and I'll watch it, I'm not going on her Twitter and telling her to stop or anything.He has been in rehab for several weeks and it has nothing to do with reception to the series finale. Let's avoid making things up in order to get offended at people criticizing a television show.
Is this the cover for the Criterion edition?
The point is Kit checked himself into therapy before the shittiest episodes released.What? Relax man, I'm not sure how that was what you took out of my post.

Just because we feel bad for Kit doesn't mean criticism of the show's writing isn't gonna go away now.. If anything, people know the cast and crew did their best with what they had.

Exactly. Well, of her co-stars.The Kit one I always thought people were misinterpreting, it's just deadpan humour.
The other ones I don't know, but don't really care, the entire idea of reading the actor's opinion from a single clip is silly in the first place.
Like, it really went well with the body language interpretations of Brie Larson...
Is the whole High Sparrow storyline from season 5 in the books? With the armed Faith Militants fanatics roaming King's Landing?
Even as far back as S2 (Dany talking to Xaro):
X "What do you want?"
D "To cross the narrow sea and take back the iron throne."
X "Why?"
D "Because I promised my Kalasar I'd protect them and find them a safe home."
X "(laugh) You want to conquer the seven kingdoms for the Dothraki?"
D "I want them because they're mine by right. The iron throne is mine, and I will take it."
X "Ah, a conqueror."
D "And how did you get all of this.. did someone give it to you?"
X "No, I come from nothing. I hit the docks like a piece of cargo.. except someone normally cares about what happens to cargo."
D "So you wanted more than you had and you took it. You're a conqueror too, you're just less ambitious."
I'm not defending the execution in S8 by any means (it sucks), but it's super interesting to look back at some of the dialogue from earlier seasons (presumably most of this characterization came from the novels) and see things I missed the first time. The writing was on the wall in lots of interesting ways.
What makes this exchange more interesting than some of the other examples people have pulled is because she's not threatened.. she's not just trying to survive. She's not simply outside of the gates trying to get in, trying to get a ship.. she's just fully in character, talking with someone and revealing her personality under normal circumstances.I'm currently rewatching everything too (currently at season 5), and I fully agree. There are a lot of things very early in the show (visually and narratively) that directly reference things happening in the end. Yeah, season 8 had problems, but all seasons are very well woven together I find. With a rewatch of the series, events are not as "unwarranted" as people pretends.

You can use the other examples too, but they're not as compelling in comparison to a more usual context.
