Re: Game of Thrones Season 8: Now What Will We Do for Boobies?
For those of us (Myself Included) who are disappointed in how Dany's arc is coming to fruition, YES, we know that all this was foreshadowed and yes we watched the show the entire time. It doesn't change our minds. Sometimes the obvious is the easy way out. I think they actually did make it obvious what was going to happen with the way they handled the Missandei killing.
Sansa sure foreshadowed Tyrion's fall when she said he "used to be" clever. That was another hint.
I guess I wanted to be surprised. Instead we got pretty much exactly what they told us we were going to get. While lying to us at the same time cause over many seasons Dany was supposed to be the savior. Tyrion bought it. Varys bought it. Jon Snow bought it. Davos bought it.
Ultimately it feels like a pretty cheesy simple end. There was nothing complex or profound about any of it. Jamie's arc ended up lame. Cersei ended up destroying herself. She wasn't some super political schemer in the end, she just manufactured her own demise. I don't know what to say about Tyrion. We'll find out. He went from one of the greatest written TV characters to blech.
So, yeah, we get it. Mad Queen, blah blah blah. For a series full of surprises there wasn't a single surprise moment last night. Not a one. Been thinking about this all day. The shock of the Red Wedding is what I wanted and instead I got the obvious throughout. And the more I read the more I feel that way.**NOTE: The misleading post above was brought to you by Reynold's Wrap and American Steeples, makers of Crosses.

Originally posted by ScoobyDoo View PostHad forgotten that but sure. Ultimately everyone is turning out exactly how they are supposed to turn out. Which is kind of my point. Just saw a video of George that pretty much confirms that. He appears to be a great believer in foreshadowing and having things turn out the way they are supposed to based on that foreshadowing. In this case it becomes boring. Humans change but it appears in George's World they do not or cannot.
You don't like the way it's working out, fine. But it's in no way inferior. It's just not your cuppa.Cornell University

Originally posted by ScoobyDoo View PostIt fed Dany's narrative to wack him so it wasn't a surprise. Now, if they had killed Tyrion at that moment for what he had done that would have been better.What kind of cheese are you planning to put on top?

Originally posted by Kepler View PostYou can find foreshadowing where it doesn't exist. I'm sure there is "foreshadowing" that could be appealed to for a theory as to why any of the major characters kills the Night King. And they were all moot except for Arya's.

Last nights episode was predictable and boring. So was the episode before it. The Dany arc was so predictable it had no shock value when it happened. All that carnage was lost in the obvious reveal.
I never used the word inferior. Last nights episode was about Dany, and Cersei (and to a lesser degree Jamie). All 3 were boring, cliched, and predictable.**NOTE: The misleading post above was brought to you by Reynold's Wrap and American Steeples, makers of Crosses.
