There were probably people with terminal illnesses holding on so they could catch the finale of their most-beloved TV show, Game of Thrones, and who died horribly disappointed.

The first one is mostly vibes. There's not a ton of good story meat in it, and it's pretty short. Book 2 really gets going though, and book 3 is just wild. Once you get to Wolves of the Calla, though, it's really gonna test your patience.

Lindsay summed up the theme of the final season so well in the thumbnail of one of her videos: "Dragon Lady Bad".

I hated the ending of GoT almost as much as I hated the ending of Mass Effect 3.

I still am not over that trainwreck.

It fell off the rails after season 3, you could argue everything after season 1 began a downward spiral.

At least with Mass Effect, most of the third act was solid. Plus, there's always the Indoctrination Theory to help cope (even if it wasn't intended).

GoT is utterly unsalvageable.

All the potential DVD/bluray sales - gone. All the merchandising - gone. The potential for spin-off shows - gone

I'm sure they're still making money hand over first from DVD sales & streaming. Not to mention they actually did launch a spin off show

Yeah, but I was so invested in ME. It was such a deep game with so many storylines...all ultimately pointless.

I see your point, though. Right up until the very end, I had a great time. Somehow, though, it feels worse for that abrupt lurch into stupidity.

No worries then, the only way to live past your natural expiration date is believing in Medicine and getting qualified help. The vast majority of terminal patients couldn't live on longer even if they were emotionally invested in a TV Show.

Yeah, I hear you. Prior to 3, I genuinely expected Mass Effect to evolve into the Star Trek of my generation, complete with spin-off shows, movies, books, etc.

That ending sure took the wind out of those sails.

I have seasons 1-7 if anyone wants them.

turned it into something to feel a bit embarrassed to admit liking

Pretty sure that's not a thing

Not really, thanks though.

I disagree. Now I've never read the boots, I only know the TV show. She took out slavers, oppressors, just generally people that would be the villain archetype and there was never some big reveal that actually anyone she was taking down wasn't just that. By that same logic, my great grandfather is a bad guy because he helped take down Nazi's in WWII, a group most would agree, were the bad guys.

She flipped at a sound of a bell against unarmed, innocent citizens who didn't even know who she was.

But by all means, I'm down to watch Episode 1 again, what scene exactly foreshadows her going genocidal?

I showed my wife an alt ending I had found that ends the story without the bad stuff and the dumb stuff

[email protected]

How about Bran becoming king? Or winterfell seceding from the seven kingdoms without backlash from the other six?

dude she married into khal drogo and had things gone well her and the dothraki would be raping and pillaging all of westeros

she also has to be talked out of slaughtering all her enemies, something that ramsay bolton actually does (doesnt work out well for him)

id have to watch episode 1 again to see what the foreshadowing was, or if i was wrong and it happens in a different episode

also your grandfather analogy is nowhere near the same as for daenarys, your grandfather was not conquering the countries occupied by nazis and personally burning everyone down, before eventually moving on to the soviet union because stalin executed his best friend. that did not happen. rewatch the series in the eyes of dany was always the mad queen, and youll find you were justifying her most implusove and abhorrant behaviors for all of the show

[email protected]

whats wrong with those? the series ends before we see any backlash to any decision made and how is the 3 eyed raven becoming king such a bad thing?

[email protected]

Not sure what people expected. They were copying a book series that was unfinished. Most of the writing and dialogue were pulled straight from the books. The series got bad when there was nothing left to follow.

The ending gave your cancer cancer.

Its Been a while but s8e2 was the dark episode where it was just blackness with some moving shadows and light points, right? I was in a dark room, at night, with my TV at brightness 100 and I could still not make out wtf was going on.

Then after a modified (super charged gamma and brightness) i could see what happened and it was even worse. The tactics used were so mind-blowingly dumb that a 5 year old must have thought them up
