    So now that Game of Thrones is over, we've got quite a few high fantasy series' to look forward to.

    Amazon's The Lord of the Rings
    BBC's His Dark Materials
    Netflix's The Witcher
    Netflix's The Chronicles of Narnia
    HBO's "Bloodmoon" (working title, Game of Thrones prequel)
    +at least two additional HBO Game of Thrones spinoffs in the scripting stage (could be axed)

    That's a lotta fantasy on television

    Finished the final season. Better than season six. About on par with season seven. Not as good as the 10/10 seasons. Pacing, especially with the first three episodes, was really off. Final episode was underwhelming. Arya is still cringy. Bran is better than usual. Dany is
    Spoilerevil as always, and this time everyone gets the hint.
    SpoilerJaime and Cersei's death might be the only GoT scene to make me cry, but maybe Ygritte's did as well.

    Probably a bit worse than season seven. Extremely unsatisfying in the end. Almost every character is less interesting than they were before. No one gets the conclusion they ought to have.

    SpoilerJon Snow's character was meant to have an epic story, and his appearance this season was anything but. That's the worst crime here. Jon Snow going to the north would be fine, if only he himself were happy with that. Jon looks very unhappy. Maybe GoT wanted to try hard to surprise us, and so decided not to make Jon the king he should've been, but well, he should've been. I'm just disappointed.

    Damn--didn't even get through one full episode of this before I found it depressing the fuck out of me. (No, I never seriously entertained the idea of watching the series, my fiance just had the finale on this morning :P)

    ...I mean, did anyone really expect this series to end cleanly? I guess it did, if anyone was expecting chaos on the level of Metallica or something. Lots of special effects and stuff that really slowed to a crawl in the final minutes.

    Honestly, I think AVGN had a better text ending for that episode.

    Worst episode ever. Worst season ever. The Bells currently has a 48% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, an all time low for the series. They're too fucking kind.

      Editing … I doubt the hysteria surrounding the show is going to exceed tonight's. Only one episode left and I have zero fucks left to give, and most people seem to feel the same. I've bumped my score down from a 9.0 to an 8.0, if I ever get the opportunity it's getting booted right out of my top 10, and I don't think I'm even interested in grabbing the series box set when this is all over.

    I still haven't started season 8, and honestly I've been thinking I should put it off. I think I'm gonna rewatch seasons 1-7 first.

    I mean, the last season did come out in 2017. Been a while, seen a lot of other shows, and Game of Thrones (at least 1-5) is super duper quality. And season 7 wasn't bad.

    And I've got TIGOLE ENCODES to replace my old GoT collection so I'm gonna fuckin download those!

      Editing … Season 7 was the worst, imo. It felt like it lacked a lot of the big moments of previous seasons, and the ones it had either weren't a big deal at all, or felt a bit forced. It generally felt like a much more convention show, and lacked the intrigue and deeper plotting the past seasons had. It essentially felt like it was in a hurry to get nowhere, moving at a fast pace, but really not covering a whole lot of ground, tbh. I know you hated season 6, but I at least thought it got more done, and had much more memorable scenes and generally felt more important than season 7 did. The show hasn't been in top form since season 4, though, and I'm pretty worried about the final season, between last season disappointing me, and the premiere being boring and already feeling kinda lazy and rushed, in some ways.

      Editing … On season 6's memorable scenes, well that's really all it was trying to do. It threw out the quality writing of past seasons in favor of emphasizing popular scenes. The sorta scenes that get trending on Twitter.

      Editing … All seasons had popular scenes, though, so I never got that complaint. I just found it a much more entertaining season than 5 (which had Hardhome and not much else), and a much better paced, less rushed yet still more eventful season than 7.

    Since the show's page is busted I'm posting this here.

    SpoilerSo first episode of S8, with those two characters staring at each other at the end, and I think "What? I don't get it. Have they ever even met? They've been on opposite sides of the world for the entire series, haven't they? Oh, except for the first.... oh. OH! HOLY SHIT!"

    Christ this show has been on a long time.

    When you're behind in the books, don't watch the series and are trying to avoid the spoilers:

    Over the weekend I watched the first season of #Game of Thrones on DVD, was slightly amused that George Martin had the guts to kill SpoilerSean Bean but other than that I don't feel compelled to buy/watch season 2-4 anytime soon. Guess I'm not really into high fantasy after all
