How did this go from a decent show to a literally unwatchable piece of shit? Serious question, the last seasons promised (and delivered) a nuanced political strategy with subtlety, interesting characters and engaging dialogues for the most part
Now, it's horribly predictable, dumbed down, cringy writing, "feel good" moments, shameless feminist propaganda and no likeable characters whatsoever? What really happened behind the scenes that lead to this? Did they really think this season would be passable?
Ayden Wright
Tywin died.
Robert Stewart

Mason Torres
Only its first season was good. Rest has been low quality trash in television standards. Hilarious that the latest episode is the highest rated episode in IMDB, really good pleb-o-meter.
Henry Morris
>What really happened behind the scenes that lead to this? They aren't following GRRM anymore m8
his two books will be completely different
Eli Sullivan
>containment thread sperg out, kid.
David Collins
Ur just a contrarian fgt go fuck ur mom got is da best evarr XD !!!!
Bentley Gonzalez
This. The War of the Five Kings was just one storyline that was of a greater whole, and it ended up with both the heroes and the bad guys getting BTFO. The mistake was that they marketed it as "Game of Thrones" as if it defined the show.
Now all those other different and more fantastical storylines that had been marinating in the background for years are at the forefront instead so they can wrap this shit up, so blame the fat man. You can't subvert expectations forever and tell a coherent story.
Alexander Bailey
Yup. No imposing, respectable male characters anymore.
And it really pissed me off how they killed Ramsay thinking that scene would come across as a "feel good" moment. What a dumb scene. Sansa comes along, then suddenly the dogs pop out to bite his face out of pure coincidence. And Ramsay was pretty much one of the few remaining enjoyable characters.
Angel Turner
Ramsay was lousily written villain and the final scene of him getting eaten by his dogs was weird as fuck with twisted morality of 'its okay when the victim does it' mental gymnastics.
entire show is garbage
Wyatt Hernandez
No, Ramsay became as predictable as the rest of the show.
Nathan Richardson
I liked Jamies speech about love
Zachary Gomez
Explain how Season 1 is better than 2 and 3. 8 sentences minimum.
Nathaniel Wright
>ratings have never higher. >viewership is only increasing. your opinion is obviously not shared by anyone outside of Sup Forums contrarions. i do agree the quality has dropped since season 3 but season 6 is def better than 5 and probably better than 4.
Joshua Sanders
abandon ship while you can good thing I never boarded it
Luis Price
non-amateur hour directing and cinematography alone make S1 better.
not my issue if you have no standards.
Gabriel Smith
Outside of Jons story every other story is complete shit and is impossible for the audience to get invested in.
>Kings Landing Theres no heroes here, everyone is a complete piece of human filth and they all deserve to burn in wildfire togeather >Slavers Bay Dany is suppose to be the hero but she basically sits on the sidelines while massing a gigantic force, how am I suppose to root for a "hero" who can completely crush an villain on the show with ease and is completely invincible? >Braavos Nobody even knows what the fuck happened in Braavos and now its just randomly over after they recreated T2. >Riverlands Overall seemed to be completely pointless outside wrapping up the Blackfish and having Jaime and Brianne meet for an episode. >Dorne Fuck Dorne I wish they would just write it out of the show.
Logan Rivera
I'm not saying Ramsay was well-written. I'm saying his presence was the most enjoyable comparatively. His 'predictableness' was dramatically intensified this season.
Chase Parker
>My Lady, you weren't at the war council.
Why the fuck would she be at the war council? Pandering to women much?
Gavin Collins
Ramsay is the worst villian in his show and in recent telivision history. Glad he's gone.
Joseph Ward
I completly agree. It turned from medieval politics to hollywood fantasy. The remaining characters after the deaths of Eddards, Tywin and Stannis all feel "cheap" somehow, not in the least believable. The immersion is completly ruined.
Adam Baker
Viewership and ratings don't mean shit. Look at the viewership of 2 and a Half Men or The Big Bang Theory.
Adrian Gutierrez
Dorne and Bravoosi bits were so fucking stupid. Offered absolutely shit all to the show and Dorne storyline (Bravoos was 100% filler) has some of the most retarded logic ever.
and it's already nice how fast they forgot their daughters death
such shit show
Benjamin Wood
Tywin's death in the books and show marked the series slipping into mediocrity. It's a shame cause books 1-3 are pretty good for a fantasy series and seasons 1-3 are good and 4 is decent but after that there is a serious dip in quality for both the books and show.
Always thought it would have been better if it was just a trilogy based around the War of the 5 kings. No Dany and Jon went down south to war with Robb and it mostly just focused on the war between the Starks vs Lannisters.
Tyler Davis
Cause they're too young
Logan Baker
>season 6 is def better than 5 and probably better than 4 There's no way a person with a minimum amount of understanding and appreciation of nuance would consider season 6 to not have pathetic writing. It's so cliched and dumbed down, I don't even know where to begin. Almost all the scenes are cringy. No subtlety, no dialogue, everything is predictable.
John Price
I mean hes not wrong, it is better than 5. But 5 also had 20goodmen and badpoosy
David Thompson
If you're so god damn unretarded then could you, for once in your life, actually put weight behind your words? All you said was "ugh, no!"
Matthew Wright
>implying big bang theory and 2 and half men got worse as seasons progressed they always sucked senpai
Colton Wood
1>3>2>4>6>power gap>5
Evan Morales
>Some faggot defending this garbage after what was essentially two seasons of filler storyline and some of the most retarded logic in another storyline. fucking lmao
Jack Long
Yeah, so viewership as a measurement of quality is false
Hunter Nelson
I think since the red wedding (the scene itself was decent) the show has really turned bad for me. There were already (altered) plotlines and scenes which were pretty bad or didn't make sense, but since the red wedding it feels like the show is just a train ride from one big "shocking" moment to the next, without exploring any of the consequences of these moments.
The red wedding is the best example, because it is still a major plot-point 2 books after it has happened. Everyone is still very mistrusting of the Freys/Boltons and/or plotting revenge and rightly so, while in the show we haven't really seen any of this. People seem to dislike Lady Stoneheart, but she is the kind of thing that happens in ASOIAF when you do something as horrible as the red wedding. Comparing this to the show, Arya is maybe going to kill Walder this season or the next?
Dominic Parker

Oh, boy what's coming next? Could it be?
WOW DRAGONS, SO COOL FOR THE FIFTH TIME, I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING, SHE'S SUCH A BADASS POWERFUL WOMAN ALRIGHT AWESOME!!!
Ryder Jones
It's on par with Season 5 at least. It's just last season had some good episode as well but everything else was just mediocre.
Xavier Myers
This is a serious problem, Grrm decided to make the major pov characters so damn young it affected his work and even the tv show even though they attempted to age up the characters.
One young character? Sure but Grrm had to go 5 major pov characters under the age of 16. Dumb idea.
Christopher Martinez
you have no taste
Nathaniel Reed
The show is glib as shit
Jeremiah Walker
D&D are two submissive perverts that went the feminist route and totally wrecked everything.
Justin Morris
>mfw i've never watched got, breaking bad, or whatever has been popular in the last 6 or so years
Josiah Wood
There will always be a set number of autists who watch TBBT.
Brayden Murphy
Breaking Bad began quite good, but you can probably skip that and just jump straight to Better Call Saul. Best TV series I've seen in a decade.
Jace Gonzalez
WOW DID YOU JUST SEE THAT? Them slaveowners just got owned. I did not see that coming. This show is awesome!!
Joshua Robinson
Shit actors and shit character writing. Overal plot is bad but if there were characters for viewers to latch onto it would be at least watchable. Right now I can name only two characters that are interesting to watch, Theon and the Hound, both decently acted, and they don't really get much screen time. Instead we get to watch Emilia Clarke making retarded faces and one-note Sophie Turner who acts just like she acted(which isn't very good in itself) in the begining despite all the shit hers character went through.
Hunter Martin
When the first maester or whatever pushed the 'poor maester' forward I knew that the other two would die.
Like I said, glib as shit.
Carson Gomez
Ooooooh so sexy!!! YOU GO GIRL!!!!
Nolan Thompson
The Hound's writing is a meme. When Al Swearengen and co. gets whacked
he fucking walks with axe in his hand to the people who killed him
and they just like
stand there waiting to get axed
lol
Ian Gonzalez
DABID, DABIIIID! Maybe we can have greyworm do a super ninja move Dabid, Tyrion says one of you's guys gotta die Dabid, but Greyworm, he kills two Dabid! You get it Dabid? Slave owners Dabid, two die Dabid, even dough Tyrion says one gotta die Dabid!

Liam Powell
Season 2 of Better Call Saul was utter shit. BB is an enjoyable thriller for the last 2 seasons. I recommend it but it has no replay value
Josiah Sanchez
BB's writing post s2 was hack stuff
Parker Hernandez
what does dabid mean ?
Mason Johnson
DABID
William Evans
Yea, the worst is when they end a season with the retard Dany, I mean really, I actually cheered and stomped my feet when one season ended with Arya riding to Bravos and not the retard Dany doing something messiah savior like. I'm hoping Dany somehow messes up and her dragons eat her, god help me sanity if the dumb bitch wins and rules in the end. I know right, fuckin giant on the battlefield and enemy army, not one comment out of them or look of amazement. Meanwhile first time Jon see's a giant he looks on in amazement, same with Ed. Stupid Dumb&Dumber forgot giants are fairytales/myth to people down south. It's like me or you seeing a Pegasus fly by and not reacting, unbelievable sloppy writing by two clowns.
Parker Gutierrez
>attack dragon queens city >completely unprepared for dragons also >walk into an obvious trap she has already pulled before I mean fuck the guy from Astapore already fell for this shit he should have knew this was a trap. Just send 3 random mooks dressed as Masters then why you have confirmation that everyone including Dany is on that small ledge, bomb the fuck out of it with Catapults. Put me on the small council coach im ready.
Andrew Sullivan
>They decided to stop showering us with arrows just so we could a final moment, okay giant?
Tyler Anderson
They've seriously been doing the same exact shit what Dany this entire season. I'm genuinely surprised episode 9 didn't end with her scene like most did this season.
Hunter Wilson
Weiss has a speech impediment caused by Dabid donkey punching him during their late night writing brainstorm sessions while he violates him in the back raw dog style during their breaks.
Joseph Reed
>Theon is interesting to watch >pathetically weak servile cuck who bows before his sister >no cock
Logan Johnson
You know what's disturbing? Reading fan theories and assumptions which are almost generally on point, except the fans get a creative on how the scenes go down and they're way better than anything D&D come up with, it's happened a few times where I'm like ok, they predicted it goes down like this here, and then boom, it happens and the scene is over and you realize D&D are 2 clowns who can't get creative.
Hunter Parker
Basically what I mean to say is the fuckin fans describe what they predict happens and are right in general, and when they somewhat detail or assume what happens, they do it in a way more believable way and creative way than D&D.
Nolan Lewis
damn Dany is so sexy
Evan Carter
>it wasn't actually Arya walking around like a complete retarded with her guard down, it was Jaquen or some shit >nah it was actually Arya just walking around with her guard down
Cameron Lopez
I wonder how many scenes in this season ended up with some deus ex machina saving the main charcters at the very last moment.
It's like they went from trying their best to avoid cliches, to embracing them as much as possible.
Justin Perez
eyebrow fetishists are worse than footfags, keep your disgusting fetishes to yourself
Xavier White
Euron what are you doing shitposting on Sup Forums you need to get those ships built
Josiah Kelly
oh come on, that was a good moment, besides ramsay was the only one left at that point
Ethan Powell
Why didn't he run a post route?
Brayden Foster
That plotline writing is shit but Hound is still a decent character and they didn't manage to butcher him yet. I noticed that generally we have 4 plotlines that get any real atention, the rest is just rushed and porly writen. Hound coming back plotline ends in a matter of one episode with septon Schwerenger murder(good use of great actor, give us more Danerys making retarded faces), we don't even get to see how he was during his paceful times after duel with Brien. Maybe a guy chopping trees wasn't as interesting as war in the north but he was a prominent character and it would be nice to get some buildup before he comes back. Kingsmoot, a big political event is resolved in a two-three scenes, no buildup, we don't even get to know the new king. Meanwhile writers waste time on clifhanger in Meren, with the Masters atacking the city. Guess what, it takes two scenes in the next episode to get over with it. Sons of The Harpy are the worst "faction" in the show, they are plot device for the writers to either show how badass Danerys is(god know that we didn't get enough of that) or get some heap clifhangers.
Alexander Perry
Yea, that was one of them.
I came to realize a bunch of people online predicting and somewhat detailing how it plays out have more talent and creativity than them. yea and he cocks, you get it? COCKS his bow and the freefolk pointing arrows at him don't all fire at once at him and make him look like a sea urchin. Dumb way to make final boss Ramsey be the only one standing in a way, it wasn't that bad, but could have been done different and better easily.
Wyatt Reyes

Austin Baker
These moments of the dwarf drinking with the slaves are totally, completely, absolutely not repetitive.
Brandon Hernandez
How does she do it?
Samuel Myers
>mfw I realize these eyebrows and the way she talks reminds me of a skinny manlet faggot I used to know who used to talk to much and was one of those people who thought he was one of the lads, without realizing he was the joke, always overacting in his mannerisms and pretending to get pissdrunk from one drink and such
Holy shit! Did my subconscious always know? Is that why I haven't been able to stand khaloreesi?
Sebastian Baker
>All of us have to believe that we're decent. How do you tell yourself that you're decent after everything that you've done.
Wow, this is absolutely not terrible acting and an original and intriguing monologue

They are like limbs. I expect she will have a shit tone of wrinkles when she gets older.
Adam Howard
Nah, she looks ridiculous and so is her acting. Fake blonde, over acts, can't act angry correctly, she's a limited actress.
Anthony Ramirez
I'd kill myself too once the sex got stale
Blake Edwards
she must possess extra muscles in her forehead that normal people dont have or something this is nuts
Sebastian Stewart
...
Wyatt Lewis
This cat and mouse scene is absolutely not predictable.
Samuel Ross
to be fair, in season 5 drogon had fucked off, and only showed up at the end to carry dany away. the other two were locked up since season 4.
they didn't expect dany to suddenly have control over the dragons. there really wasn't an explicit reason given in the show either, she can just control them now for some reason
Aaron Wood
It's that she does it on purpose though like it's attractive
Carter Carter
Yea, it was good, sort of, then it fell flat when Jaimie goes all psycho hardass and tells him he'll launch his kid on a catapult over the wall. Like the Frey's would let that happen to their heir to the riverlands. I couldn't even follow how Jaimie made him break and frankly wasn't interested consider edmure would be out of his tits crazy underfed pissing shitting on himself and wouldn't really give two shits since he's been through so much.
Isaiah Murphy
she's already got those massive trenches on her forehead. now that i think about it, daisy ridley looks similar as well, those britbong genes man.
Justin Lopez
literally perfect woman
Charles Myers
just imagine what she could do to your penis with those things
Thomas Williams
Yea, I was expecting the 2 that somehow knew to escape to just fly off on her, but maybe Drogon is so much bigger than them they followed what he did?
Oliver James
I can't believe how they butchered the kingsmoot. It was one of the best parts of the 4th book.
>LOL I killed your king and I have a big cock, now I'm the new king. >This works
