I think the "issue" as you get towards the end of the show is that it sells itself very well. I think the issues really start for me in season 6, even tho eps 9 & 10 are brilliantly executed. I think my biggest problem is in Jon's resurrection, and really even his death. Up through season 5, the show thrives off of a grounded feeling that no one is safe. As soon as Jon is brought back, the stakes are never going to be as high for his character. Granted the show feels a little heartless without Jon so it feels rewarding when he comes back. I think it's the first time they choose flashy twist over grounded storytelling. The writers, while trying to keep the viewers intrigued, start sticking small holes in the story's sail until it's dead in the water. And it's disappointing cuz you don't really realize the ship has sunk until you've drowned. I don't want to ruin anything, it's a decently entertaining ride until it isn't. I'm excited to see your thoughts after it's over!

when you finish everything, go watch this video, it explains a lot of mistakes and how the writers messed up the characters. everyone can have their opinion and tastes, but when it comes to what happened last season, I don't think it's just opinion, it really doesn't make sense what they did, and this video is good because it explains a lot: https://youtu.be/Yc0dwLYUUkE

Damn I’m 3 days late! Didn’t even know you posted the finale already lol. There’s a video on YouTube that I think you should react to called “R+L=J Who is Jon’s Mother” by Robbie McD. It’s a very well done video compilation of all the hints in the show about who Jon’s real parents are.

Yes. I think a lot of women from here on out saw Jon Snow as the representation of all the comparatively mediocre white men in their offices that get props and respect and perks for the work of women or at the expense of women who deserve it more. And I think that feeling was exacerbated by the political climate of when it was airing (2016-18). My girlfriends and I watched it together and all felt the same way about him the last few seasons.

I agree with you on this. When I had first watched it, I completely binged the whole thing. During season 7 I didn’t particularly notice the pacing, but it’s when you go back to rewatching older seasons where it stuck out for me. I’ve heard rumors that HBO had thought about giving this show like 10 seasons or something but the writers and producers wanted it done faster. Could be wrong on that though I just remember hearing about that. Regardless I still love this show and franchise. I’m patiently waiting for George to release the last book so that I can read them all. 🤣

I'm curious if you will feel the same because you're binging it. Because ultimately the main issue with 7 and 8 are the pace, but you're inherently seeing things faster than those of us who watched it in real time. I am of the opinion that had they written the story they had left and realistically considered how many episodes they needed, they could've told the identical story they did. Instead they said we only want 13 more episodes so we have to make the story fit that. Either way, I'm in the camp of it's still one of the greatest shows of all time.

Now that you know the truth please watch/react to R+L=J from Robbie McD on YouTube. Many watched it after this episode to unterstand everything better about Jon’s parents. There where hints to this point in the show but you won't understand until you see the show a second time after you know the truth. And it's all summed up in the video R+L=J. It’s spoiler free for the future episodes/Seasons.

It’s amazing to see your reaction to Jon’s heritage! When the show was airing Jon being Lyanna’s son was one of the most popular theories so most people weren’t too surprised when it was confirmed, me included. so seeing someone who had no idea hyped me so much, I was so excited!

It's no surprise I never liked Jon Snow, but 6x9 and 6x10 really made me hate him with a new passion.
The way he ignores Sansa's opinion on Ramsay for one, but the fact that he completely disregards her experience with him saying "I've been through worse tham Ramsay"??? I'm sorry but he didn't and no men will ever understand this. I can guarantee any woman would rather fight a thousand white walkers than have a glimpse of what Sansa had to endure.
And then he has no problem admiting he and all of their men would be dead if it wasn't for Sansa and calling her the true Lady of the North in private, but has absolutely no mind to do the same in front of the other houses, when people decided he was suddenly a king, when he literally sent all of his men into a trap because he's terrible at war planning and keep trying to play the hero all the time instead of maybe thinking for a second.
I've been through this when watching this show for the first time, but rewatching it is making me hate him ever more

I believe she was planning on killing them, which is why she refused food when they offered.
That was the big thing about Walder Frey, killing people after inviting people into their home and break bread. By the time she took and accepted their food she didn't feel right about killing them anymore and realized they were just people caught up in this madness same as her they just happened to be wearing the wrong colors.

Arya seemed hesitant and kept looking at the swords of those soldiers because they were Lannister men. She’s grown up harboring such a hatred for the Lannisters and everyone close to them but then she met these soldiers who fight for the Lannisters who were kind to her for no reason. I think she was waiting for them to grab their swords and turn on her but they never did and I think that made her question things a little bit.

Remember when Cat went behind Robb’s back and let Jaime go bc Baelish convinced her it was a good idea? And Sansa got Baelish to help in the battle behind Jon’s back? Sansa really is just a mini Catelyn

As for the Starbucks cup, (Which hasn't happened yet) I don't think you will see it. From what I understand, they went back and digitally removed it so anyone streaming the show now won't see it. Only those who recorded it back when it originally aired will have a record of it. Once it's all said and done, you can go back and see some reaction channels point it out as they reacted back when it aired.

To me the show ended after season 6 🫤
Ersin Günay
2022-09-21 13:55:25 +0000 UTC
When the season 6 finale ended we got news shortly after that there would only be 13 more episodes. From this point I personally made peace with the fact that the Game of Thrones of season 1-6 would be impossible to keep up if they were going to wrap it up in 13 episodes. There's no way they could do the same kind of story telling.
The people who are mad about how it ended are mostly in the camp of the pacing and writing. But if you can sit back, keep an open mind, and enjoy the spectacle you'll have a fun ride. Think of it more like a movie now. The writing isn't always tight but it's still the GoT world and in my opinion worth the ride.
People who hated the ending have every right to feel that way but there's plenty of us out here who enjoyed every minute of it... even if sometimes there are a few head scratching moments.
I can't wait for you to finish!

I don't remember exactly what was said but that hag/witch cersei met as a kid mentioned all her children would die... So ya was so shocking but I under why he did it, the person he thought he loved died and his mother just murdered many people and he would have felt so bad after all of that....

They did every episode along with theories. Be aware many of their theories are complementary to the books so there may be some "spoilers" making some things about to happen less of a surprise. Another channel I loooved to watch after every episode was Alt Shift X and wow their theories were mind-blowing. Hope you enjoy the rest of season 7 and the videos from these channels 🙌🏻💜

2022-09-21 03:38:54 +0000 UTC
I really think the death that was the most painful/rage-inducing for people watching when it aired was Princess Shireen's and we ALL wanted to see the Red Woman die for it. Hearing you be like "but she saved Jon Snow" in her defense is so wild to me. haha. I'm like BUT SHE BURNED SHIREEN ALIVE!!! KILL HERRRRR! haha. But I never had the attachment to Jon that you do. He doesn't make my Top 20 even. He's very predictable. And Davos is easily Top 5 favorites. So I'm on his side in the "to execute Melissandre or not" debate. haha
Also, I totally agree with Sansa re: Jon. Ned warned Cersei he planned to tell Robert that her kids were all Jamie's and that was a stupid move that lost him his head. Robb reneged on his marriage oath and that was a stupid move that lost him his head and the war. And Jon's already been killed by people he was leading once. If you want to rule, you've got to be at least a little bit of a politician too and Jon doesn't have that in him. Sansa does. She's a survivor and she's survived in the most dangerous of places. She knows the art of ruling.
