The show is definitely getting more awful at an increasing rate like a hockeystick graph. Thank god it's only got one more episode.

Here's a good question for y'all: When did it jump the shark? What was "the moment" when the show hit the inflection point?

For a while I thought that the moment Jon was brought back, the show lost its point. Resurrection just screws up way too much of the setting, but that was at the start of E6 and there were certainly signs before then.

"Bad poosey" and the whole Dorne-plot-mangling in S5 was certainly bad, and that was even earlier.

Yara's hilarious "Theon rescue attempt" in S4E6 was surreal at the time. Maybe that was the moment, because I can't think of anything truly inexcusably bad before then. Most of Dany's plotline (starting from S1) was somewhere between bad and "meh", but nothing that completely took me out of immersion and made me think I watched the wrong show like that did.

I can't put my finger on an exact moment, but I'd lean towards them omitting Catelyn's return. Remember, that resurrection had been occuring on a regular basis before Jon's return. (which I'll assume is canon in print, but who knows?)

This happened really late but what they've done to Euron and Dorne is absolutely criminal.

What a collection of bullshit lol.

No one knew if anyone would even like this show. Let alone a reasonable prediction it would end of being one of, if not, the greatest television series of all time.

That's why I said they could and should have thought ahead.

Martin didn't finish his books, Martin is drunk on fame and money now, and is too fucking out of shape and lazy to finish anything. Not to mention the pressure that the books would have to be great. Imo he is taking these last to books to his grave.

It doesn't matter what he his or does or how fast or slow he writes. Still can't blame him, unless there was a written agreement that he would have to finish all books on time for the show to rely upon them.

I dont know how you expect any director or writers for television to finish major plot lines and dozens of colliding character arcs in 14 hours, all while taking into account no fans really agree on what "should happen"

then you have very low expectations

When you are writing a book, there are no actor or HBO contracts, no episodic limits, and no reality constraints to what can actually be put on TV.

ok, fine, nobody said anything about that

Your arguements are childish, and illogical, with no basis in reality of the adult world. "D&D are brain amputated moroms" lel. Good one bro.

their writing is, and that's all this is about. the technical execution of the show is great for the most part. calling them morons is not my argument. I made a short list as to why the blame is with D&D - please check it out again.

I'm sorry it didnt end with sugar and rainbows for you. Actually I'm not sorry at all. I'm glad it didnt end how to would have liked. You and the rest of your high school AV club can go cry in a corner and take turns sucking each others thumbs.

I'm 42. Nobody asked for rainbow and sugar in this thread. On the contrary. We got lots of sugar and rainbow and incompetence in season 8. This could be any TV series and it would be a trash season.
