Game of Thrones: The Bells (2019) Season 8, Episode 5

D&D

[4/10 · 14 May 2019]

Great acting, great production, and mind blowing CGI cannot make up for poor writing.

"It's easy to do things that are shocking or unexpected, but they have to grow out of characters. They have to grow out of situations. Otherwise, it's just being shocking for being shocking." -GRRM

Game of Thrones: The Last of the Starks (2019) Season 8, Episode 4

Why D&D, why?

[5/10 · 7 May 2019]

Fantastic production, fantastic directing, and wonderful acting can not overcome poor writing. If characters can flip over their character arcs in one scene without any foreshadowing or logical basis then it's an error in writing. The characters are making decisions off and on screen that defy what and who we've come to know them as over the past 7 seasons. I hope the next episode can iron out the kinks and loose ends but at this point I have little faith in D&D.
