i hate the new GoT
30 August 2017
Warning: Spoilers
it's obvious, it's desperate that this show needs the iron fist of GRRM. When the script lacks him, we can tell... It was a crowd pleasing episode, this is not the GoT i'm used to in the season finales. In here we had a cliché story we all waited it to happen: Jon getting in bed with Daenerys, The Night King destroying the wall, Cersei not accepting to help them (wow, i wasn't expecting that, at all...), Sansa & Arya conspiring to catch and sentence little finger...

BORING!!

where's the action? where are the sudden deaths? the ruthless cruel reality of the royalty? the interesting character development?

GoT has been squished and exploited to a point it's not as awesome as it used to be anymore. Admit it guys, it was a great risk to take the story to the side of the winter zombies, it is pretty intense and interesting BUT! if you writers, focus on that storyline, what else do we have??? we have nothing! everyone else who was interesting is dead or not in the main focus by now!! Olenna, Margaery, Samwell, Yara, Arya, Varys...

Also, the Stark sisters and Bran are together but, they contribute nothing to the story. OK awesome they're in Winterfell... and so what? i prefer Bran to be beyond the wall fighting and having visions, Arya killing bad people and Sansa struggling but getting on with it. Together they're boring as f*ck.

they joined every relevant character together to add suspense and intensity, but instead we had a chipboard of awesome characters who can be totally exploited by separate story lines in different locations with total action and awesomeness... they're being totally wasted!

for the next season, i can tell: of course Jon's winning but a main character is going to die. If he dies again, it won't be as intense as the first time so it'll be probably Daenerys or Tyrion. Aaaand if they lose we end the show with a hopeless finale, who we were also expecting; it has to be a balance for all the fan/crowd pleasing main events of this last season.

IT'S JUST MEH. I think Twin Peaks episode of last Sunday was way better than this one. For the first time since it started, Got has become generic and predictable. They made a very long and not active enough season finale to keep me on the edge of my seat.

I'm not interested in what may happen next, OK so maybe Cersei wins, who cares. Maybe everyone dies. I don't care. Everything has become predictable. Everything GRRM created and carefully crafted with a lot of time, patience and years, has been ruined.

Sadly, it had such potential of running this show WAY longer with a better storyline. Really saddens me, it was a beautifully made television program. This was quality in everything you see: scenario, costumes, performances AND story...

that's where the strong point were. Not anymore. RIP GoT
