HBO's Game of Thrones

I'm not sure that an afterlife, barring an undead one, would be in the spirit of Martin's stories. But, for the showrunners, it would make as much sense as anything else!

What if its like LOST... and everyone is dead? The never beat the Night King. They're just dreaming walking-dead.

I mean, I know you're most likely being facetious but everything in Lost actually happened to them. Only season that involved death was the last one. The flash sideways was the afterlife, not the island.

Lost, now that's an ending that pissed me off. Worst ending in television history.

They painted themselves into a corner and didn't know how to resolve the many questions they had raised.

That should be the example when telling writers why they need to start a story with a actual ending already in mind

The worst part of LOST's ending was that JJ and the producers assured the audience after Season 1 that they weren't dead... because that's what everyone was guessing right off the bat. Then what did they do when JJ got busy with Mission Impossible an outgrew TV? They made them dead.


Anyway, maybe Arya is dead. Remember how they were paralleling Arya being trampled with the Hound being beaten in cross-cuts? Well, he died... maybe she died too. Parallel.

Jon: Gooooooooooo! Go! GO!

Starting to think Gendry will be on the throne:

Hopefully, all this criticism for GOT Season 8 wakes them up that they need to step up their game for SW.

I've been thinking that might be the reason for the short season. "Let's get this over with so we can do Star Wars." Comes out in 2022 and script has to be done way before then. KK ruining another franchise.

Here's a picture of their Star Wars bad guy, he'll have lightsabers come out of each of his arms!

Interesting read. Some historical context from Athens, Rome, Nazi Germany, US at the end of WW2, Russian response to the Chechens, etc.

Somehow I doubt Benioff and Weiss will prove to be the worst thing that ever happened to Star Wars. I am unconcerned.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.... huh? What? Where?

Oh... symbolism and history as a crutch instead of good storytelling. OK.

The worst thing that happened to Star Wars was its popularity. Like everything else, popularity smothers genius.

And politics.

 

[Wor-Gar]

At least that didn't seep into GoT.
