Absolutely none of us have any idea how much input Martin still has besides telling the writers how the books end.

Oh...Eastern Illinois. They contacted me. I didn't take the entrance exam because I had 64 crayons instead of 3. But I loved going through Central Illinois. Watching people on bad cooked up Tide is the best.

Whatever ending George told them, they aren't using.

They are. He told them the major points of the ending of it. They did have a lot to fill in but it's going to end the same was as the books.

I love how you have such confidence in this

There are major characters/plots from the books that were dropped to accommodate for TV. The ones they did keep have deviated as well. Unfortunately we may never know if George doesn't finish the damn books!

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

This show sucks.

I have loved this season so far and the last episode was no different. However, it does have flaws but I have to see what happens next week to make a complete determination on those.

However, they made a huge mistake trying to put 3 seasons worth of stuff in 6 episodes. They should have really ramped it up last season to give this time more time to breathe or as now has been reported accepted that it would be a 10 episode season rather than 6. This is obvious from the "Mad Queen" storyline which literally took place over a few episodes with only minor hints prior to that. It's completely understandable why she went mad when you really think about it but it all happened in one or two episodes. She's spent the whole series basically getting whatever she wants because she has 3 dragons and has viewed herself as some sort of great person for it even though she has always had the goal of taking over the world and doing it by force because she has weapons that no one else has. She had never even seen the world she wanted to control and when she got there she learned it wouldn't be the easy conquest by a grateful people who would be happy that she took them out of chains which don't really exist there anyways because in general the people on that side of the water do live pretty free lives even with the Lannisters running things. Add in the issues with Jon and how he is rightfully more respected than she is and it is a perfect storm for her to throw a tantrum and take over by fear. That's why she burned everything. If that had happened over a season I think it would have been a better way to do it rather than defeating the Night King, talking to Cersei, killing everyone in what feels like 3 days.

I think after a cooldown period a lot of people will come around to it simply being a season that was done on light speed but upon rewatch there is more appreciation for the story still being great.

After reading some reviews it does crack me up how the show went 180 for SJWs. The "good" queen became a crazy bitch, the army of brown people started killing innocent people and the white male is gonna save the world.

No, this final season will not age well.

People did it for The Wire.

But newspapers did die!

I agree with that. Obviously more time is passing on the show than it seems. The travel times alone suggest as much. But the emotional impact is different when everything is jammed together. It took Dany six seasons to get to Westeros. You identified with her struggle. Her slide into madness was gradual but the pacing of the Season 8 episodes made it seem sudden. The easy fix would have been to drop the pointless Night King story altogether.

Aaron Rodgers dying was cool.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

I don't think killing the Tarleys was extreme. Stannis executed Mance for refusing to kneel. She had other extreme moments here and there but nothing that suggested the mass murder she carried out yesterday. The writing sucks.

I did enjoy seeing someone post about how the show is an allegory for how white women will turn on women of color eventually.

I suppose that episode really does ruin the series for the people that were trying to use it to promote a social agenda.

I for one was happy to see how easily the NK was defeated since he's climate change and all.

Did you know Varys was trying to poison Dany? That's why he was asking the little girl to keep trying to get Dany to eat!
