Probably why Emilia said episode 5 was amazing last week... LOL
Dislike the episode if you want but don't put words in people's mouth, just to help you hate on D&D!

David Benioff was the main writer of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the worst X-Men related movie. He's just returning to his roots of nonsense since the show's been going downhill in a blaze since they ran out of book material. D.B. Weiss doesn't even have a filmography. Before Star Wars (hey Disney 'Lucas'film, try hiring some more family friendly experienced writers), they both wanted to make a Confederacy/slavery revival show on HBO (yes really). I can only imagine what they'd do with that white supremacist fanfiction since HBO loves making their stars get naked for erotica and used to put outright porn on the network.
D&D did a terrific job adapting GRRM's books, even with season 5 imo, which was based on two bloated books where less important stuff happened than in ASoS alone. I also liked season 6 a lot, which contains some of the best episodes of the entire show, which aren't even based on GRRM material at all. Season 7 and 8 are incredibly rushed though.
I just don't get why D&D set themselves the 13 episode limit to conclude everything. We know HBO would've been okay with more episodes and/or seasons, so I don't understand why they choose to rush to the ending like this. Just why?

Keep in mind, films accomplish development in two hours; they don't always have to be slowly drawn out over the course of multiple episodes.DHOPW42 wrote: ↑May 13th, 2019, 6:26 amI agree with those who feel that all of this is rushed. I don't want to convince all the others, but I also feel that there are some basic problems with screenwriting and maybe even directing here. I know it sounds arrogant to say that I'm smarter than a professional HBO writer, so excuse my language. Still, these are my thoughts:
mm yeah, blame Benioff who wrote the first draft possibly as early as 2004, when this project was first starting to be built, not Skip Woods, who wrote the final draft and ruined Hitman twice, not to mention David Ayer, Scott Silver and James Vanderbilt also did rewrites on it (allegedly the script was too mature and brutal, originally R rated, but the rewrites made it PG-13, google tells ya)MagnarTheGreat wrote: ↑May 13th, 2019, 8:21 amDavid Benioff was the main writer of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, the worst X-Men related movie.

but yeah, I doubt any of that will stop this Benioff=Tommy Wisczeau=Hitler meme from taking over the internet

God, I wish I didn’t spend time reading others’ reactions on previous episodes, treatment of Daenerys, etc. on places like reddit or twitter. Watching this episode I realized I could barely tune out of that headspace, I just kept remembering “oh are people going to hate this”.
I never was a fan of Daenerys. I never wanted her on the Iron Throne. I had a difficult time seeing past her pompous ‘riiiiiightful queeeeeen and fire and blood’ shit. She was always a 'conqueror' from (almost) the very start.
So in my eyes, the most legit criticism lies not in the actual story, but how this specific story came to fruition - writing/plot.
Also, regarding Jaime
But overall I thought this was a great episode. HOLY SHIT the Arya stuff. Fucking wow man. It brought a tear to my eye.
