    Money lost can be earnt back. Time spent watching Game of Thrones, following the characters, their storyline, reading reviews, watching clips on YouTube related to GOT, discussing episodes with friends and colleagues are all efforts wasted that you can never get back.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Filled with plot holes and writing that makes no sense. The characters in the show seem very generic in this final season. The follow none of what made them who they are throughout the seven seasons. Some dropping all morals all together for revenge and other murdering loved ones for no reason given. Then the fact everyone somehow forgot who Jon is in the end made no sense. They opened up a story about him which would of been better left unknown to try and create some conflict. Which this was very generic and the reactions expected. The battle with the white walkers episode was so poorly lit and to take a word from Howard Stern on this “Even porn directors mastered lighting effects on set” In the end you want to watch this series, I would suggest watching up until season 7 and even then that’s questionable in some episodes. What hbo did to this story and the writers is deplorable. Then to have actors defend this garbage is laughable. Own up to the failure you know it is instead of defending like you made it so important. Trust me if people liked your character and you then they may not so much now.… Expand

    I don’t think it’s possible to have written a worse ending to this brilliant brilliant series. It’s so incredibly horrible I actually believe they tanked it on purpose. I’ll never understand how they could have let this happen... even the actors in interviews about the last season are visibly disturbed about how it ended.

    The writing this season so far after 2 episodes is simply inexcusable. From constant brainless quips that would put Marvel to shame, to a story that moves at a snail's pace where characters talk a lot but don't say much of substance, to characters acting erratically not being true to their motives anymore in a world that no longer follow its own internal logic, it all falls apart asThe writing this season so far after 2 episodes is simply inexcusable.

    George Martin claimed the ending would be "bittersweet"but right now it just seems straight bitter with no sweetness at all. All of the character growth and internal struggles of the past seems to have been thrown away in favor of basically genetic predestination with Jaime and Daenerys. The touted threat of the White Walkers ends with a whimper. All those prophecies? Thrown out theGeorge Martin claimed the ending would be "bittersweet"but right now it just seems straight bitter with no sweetness at all. All of the character growth and internal struggles of the past seems to have been thrown away in favor of basically genetic predestination with Jaime and Daenerys. The touted threat of the White Walkers ends with a whimper. All those prophecies? Thrown out the window with no payoff. There is "subverting expectations" and there is just tearing things down for the sake of it to jerk with the audience.

    Nor does the supposedly leaked ending bring any comfort or sense of closure. Game of Thrones was based on the War of the Roses, and that ultimately only ended with someone taking the throne that had links to both of the major sides. Similarly, I do not see any ending with a Stark on the throne as giving closure because such a choice would be unacceptable to the other 7 Kingdoms, who would rightly suspect any such ruler of favoritism towards the North. The Targaryens were able to weld the petty kingdoms into one through being outsiders and through the actions of their dragons. Any Stark on the throne would face what the Lannisters would also have faced, namely an endless sequence of rebellions or even secession. That rules out Sansa. It is not believable that they would follow Bran, because he has no charisma or talent for ruling, and his mystic mumbo-jumbo would not be believed by most people. Finally there would again be the suspicion that he would be a puppet of Sansa or show favoritism even if he claims otherwise. Any Stark on the throne will be seen as a base of power centered on Winterfell and that would be unacceptable to the surviving lords of the 7 Kingdoms.

    Jon in terms of bloodline would offer the right mix of Targaryen and Stark, but let's face it, he's a horrible leader. He might have charisma and be a good fighter, but his political and command decisions are just awful. He is another Ned Stark in that his inflexibility and personal moral code ends up costing everyone.

    The original hints of a dual monarchy with Jon & Daenerys thematically would complete the Song of Ice and Fire. While modern viewers might feel uncomfortable with the idea of incest, they have handled even closer incest between Jaime and Cersei. Jon and Daenerys would temper each other's faults. A blasted devastated kingdom after defeating the White Walkers but with the promise of rebuilding. A true "Dream of Spring"

    Right now all we seem to be having is a blasted wasteland, the main characters mad, dead, or going into exile, and a kingdom on the cusp of tearing itself apart again.

    Martin has used the example of Aragorn from LoTR and how Aragorn's rule would have had consequences for all. Sure, explore those consequences, and sure have some nuances to Aragorn. But doing a 180 and turning Aragorn into a new tyrant is not some deep "subverting expectations" move. Such moves are simply for shock value and trolling and sadly it seems that is what GoT has turned into.

    Ironically George Martin, having written for TV before, was aware of and feared bad quality endings to TV series. Sadly that is precisely what he is getting.    … Expand

    I used to love this show, the story, characters, the sprawling setting. It's one of the first series that really made me care and root for the characters. Even the irredeemably evil ones were still exciting to watch.

    But that all changed with the final season. Unless you have been living under a rock for the past year, its commonly known that George RR Martin has not released his final book of the franchise. The final two seasons were all HBO original content, and they could maintain the story in passable quality during the seventh season. However, when it came to ending the story it is rushed, anticlimactic, and immeasurably disappointing.

    Characters started acting stupid, or just entirely unlike themselves. Loved heroes become confusingly insane, they lost all semblance of motivations from past seasons and suddenly became totally different people. The writer's excuse? A new motivation from past seasons is written in to skip development, in other words, retcons galore.

    The dialogue became inanely simplistic or just repetitive and boring. So little of importance is ever said. Characters just stare off in the distance vacantly, then occasionally they make the most observances that anyone could have inferred on their own. What happened to the complex script full of setups, payoffs, and humanly written characters?

    The only thing left to do now is scrub the awful ending out of my head by rewatching the past six seasons. Then I'll wait for George RR Martin to release the true ending because this is an absolute disgrace. D&D spit in the faces of millions of GOT fans. The best recommendation I can give this show is to watch the first six seasons (and the seventh if you want to test your patience) then forget about season eight.    … Expand

The Dragon of the Night King easily destroys the thick stone walls, but the f**king John Snow is hiding behind a bunch of trash and survive - a f**king nonsense. Arya, for what these hide and seek ? it was clear to everyone that Benioff&Weiss will not kill any of the Starks, so as not to upset degenerates. But you killed: Theon, Jorah Mormont, the Night King and a huge number of another interesting characters, which you killed in 6 and 7 seasons. And most importantly for what ? For nothing. The Night King stands surrounded by White Walkers and a large number of Wights, where did this bi*ch Arya jumped out ? Arya must be killed back then, in season 6. However, you still had a chance to fix everything, if the Night King would break Ariya’s neck. But you, Benioff & Weiss are two worthless cowards who fear reaction of various degenerates. Now it doesn't matter what you are going to do with the remaining 3 series.

    P.S.

Turned one of the best TV shows, where logic is at the forefront, to fan-service for degenerates. FANTASTIC IDIOTS!

Especially once they ran out of book though it just turned into a bloody, pornographic soap opera/cartoon/chick show where the only reason to watch is to see who dies next and who f***s their sister next.

    Season 8 is particularly bad. In the first 2 episodes (out of 6, you don't exactly have time to waste here guys) literally nothing happens, just petty interpersonal drama and wheel-spinning. I guess pan-faced Maisie Williams is legal now so sleazy perverts Benioff & Weiss couldn't wait to get her naked on camera even though the character is only what? 15?

    Then the battle happens. Oh ho ho the battle:

    - Army full of literal teenage girls and dickless men

    - Usual Hollywood garbage take on medieval warfare. No one in the writers room knows how castles, or shields, or armor, or formation fighting, or cavalry, or archery actually work. This is supposed to be a quasi-realistic show but every single detail is wrong and ridiculous

    - This show used to at least feature entertaining surprise twists. Now, it's straight Hollywood predictability. Expendable tertiary characters die, a couple secondary characters (who've been set up for heroic sacrifices for a long time now) die, no mains die, the good guys win. Yaaaaaaawn.

    - The White Walkers have been established as a colossal, apocalyptic threat since literally episode 1 scene 1. Now the time has FINALLY come to fight them and humanity beats them in ONE. SINGLE. EPISODE. It's going to be impossible to rewatch this show in the future once you already know what a joke the big scary Others turn out to be in the end.

    - Arya is such a pathetic Mary Sue. I 100% guarantee Benioff and/or Weiss are turned on by the manic pixie ninja waif cliche because she is pure fanfiction and it's embarrassing to watch. It was obnoxious when they crammed one of those characters into The Hobbit, but it's even worse here having a barely-legal chick pretending to be this master assassin stone killer because she spent like 3 months attending ninja day camp. I bet Maisie Williams can't actually do a single pull-up.

    - It sure looked like there were only like 15 good guys left alive out of their whole army at the end, but you just know the next episode will start and they'll be like "naw, we still have like 5,000 guys, they were just off camera". It's all so tiresome.

    This is a genuinely terrible show: vulgar, nihilistic, pointless, empty, juvenile, and wallowing in its own ugliness and absurdity. I can't wait to close the books on this shameful chapter in our pop culture.    … Expand

    The writing has gone down the **** once D&D don't have GRR's books as source. I didn't think it could get worse than last seasons writing disaster but somehow D&D managed to find a way.
    Its as one dimensional as Dora the explorer or some other nursery cartoon at this point.

Arya kills him out of thin air. She must know how to fly.. Jon and the Night king never get to have the sword fight we all wanted. And most of the main characters live. Everyone has plot armor. And the episode was so dark I didn't know what was going on during the dragon fight. The writing was bad last season but this just didn't feel like Game of Thrones..… Expand

However, you still had a chance to fix everything, if the Night King would break Ariya’s neck. But you, Benioff & Weiss are two worthless cowards who fear reaction of various degenerates.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Just saw the 5th episode, when the complete and utter indifference and/or self-deception of the creators revealed itself, and in the ugliest possible way. I can't say incompetence because they showed what they are capable of in the first 4 seasons.

    Anyone with half a brain knew that the odds this season would be great were slim, after the steep decline in quality that was season 7 (after the slight decline of 5 and 6). But I decided to watch for the actors (I've grown attached to them!) and for the spectacle, and try to ignore everything else. And I was sorta able to do that over the first 4 episodes. But in this one it was impossible to overlook. This is a completely different show, with absolutely no essential relation in spirit or sensibility to that of previous seasons. Not a single character we strongly expected to live on in this episode died, and a whole bunch of tertiary ones did. However, several of the characters that died were long-running and those we were attached to, but the way the deaths were handled was such that it had no effect on me other than disgust (at the creators). Suddenly the Hound is a crazed madman whose only concern in killing his already dead brother? So much so that he'd commit suicide to do so? This bears no relation to the cynical, survival-over-everything Hound that we've known so long. Jamie and the Ship King Guy get in a fight to the death for no prescient reason. Arya survives for no apparent logical reason. On and on the list could go.

    D&D's approach here is obviously one in which visuals trump everything - bereft of reason or depth, they just want to set up the "coolest" looking shots, and go to whatever lengths are necessary to get them. And that is all they are concerned with. They showed this a little in season 7 when they had the dragon go north of the wall for no reason, but this season it takes over the entire show. Not a single character has emerged unscathed by this twisted lust for mindless spectacle.

    Finally I want to say a word to those who accuse those such as myself who get mad when creators piss all over their creations of "entitlement". That is the stupidest argument, and reveals a complete lack of understand of art and the essential nature of the relationship between an artist and his or her audience. A film-maker is merely a modern version of the story-teller who would tell tales around the fire. Just like today, many times there would be a person or few persons whose main role in the clan would be to create and/or memorize and pass on stories. That was their job. And if they started telling an intricately detailed, engrossing story, and you spent many hours listening to it, then all of a sudden towards the end started **** all over what they created, and obviously put no thought or effort into putting together a coherent or satisfying ending, and just stopped, the natural reaction is to be pissed. Why? Because at the most basic of levels it's rude. A storyteller is a kind of host, but of your mind rather than your body. And D&D have been some god-awfully rude hosts this season, with not the slightest consideration for the experience of their guests.

    And beyond that, it's someone not doing their job. If I hire someone to fix my plumbing, but it breaks the next day because they didn't do their job right, everyone would admit that anger is a natural reaction. But somehow a different standard is somehow applied to artists. And I think this reveals the philistinism of those individuals, that at the end of the day they don't hold art in much esteem at all. They are the same sort of folks that insist that who makes the art - what color, gender, ethnicity and so on - matters crucially. Which again, makes no sense. If I buy a chair, do I care what the identity of the person who made it is? No, I care that the chair works, that it doesn't break when I sit on it, that it is comfortable, ect. It is only when I do not care about the chair - for whatever reason - that other things become pre-eminently important. And these identity critics - like those who attack anyone who dares have standards and basic expectations of care and/or competence in art - could care less if all the museums and theaters burned to the ground - as long as their pet ideologies are given their due, or they get their "fix" of emotional manipulation (respectively).    … Expand
