Big, did you enjoy the finale? I heard there’s a massive online petition asking to redo the whole season! So wonder d how you felt about it. No spoilers please, I’m behind (season 5)
If you’re not big and have something to say, you may also post.

Damn.
Danza? You used to be a fan, you even got me into it way back when I wasn’t motivated by the whole idea.

it started going down from season 5
i'm just watching for the stuff that still is good. there's some good directing. the actors. also i liked watching several youtube channels
it's just always been a bad idea to start the series before the books were finished (is easy to say in hindsight).
many arcs i was very invested in, fizzled out, so that gives a genuine sense of loss. i just comfort myself in that some great stuff *has* been created, also in the show

So are the books finished now, and is the ending poor?

no, the books are still where they were before the show started: (at least) 2 away from finishing. i'm writing that we at least got some great stuff, because it's possible the books won't be finished

Apparently it all takes place under two years. The saga is shorter than brexit.

a thing we can learn from all of this, is there's more you can take from a story than just how it finishes

i understood from a GoT Academy youtube video, that writer GRRM thought of doing a big time jump of five years, but didn't. and so we got the fifth book and a story that seems hard to wrap up

Look, Game of Thrones has been problematic from the start, and although the showrunners have made some superficial efforts to rectify the issues in more recent seasons, it should come as no surprise to anyone that in the final season it reverts to its truly toxic nature. One can't deny that the show is rooted in white supremacy, patriarchy, heteronormativity and Islamophobia, and such structures need to be completely torn down, not just papered over. Frankly, Game of Thrones should've been cancelled after the first episode, but I guess HBO just couldn't give up those sweet incelbucks

for example if i have to tell you guys what i was expecting when i started watching my first episode of game of thrones then i would have to say it was something different than what i saw which in return made me very disappointed and even question my friend's taste which caused some trouble in our relationship later on

Opposite for me at the start. I’m not a fan of sword fantasy stuff. But the Danza told me t give it a go, and I was pleasantly surprised.

“i'm reading the books they're fun and actually kind of good? ”
Are you asking yourself?
(I get it. It’s a “do you know what I mean?” Intonation?)

Game of Lols. I liked the way that all the berks that usually bang on about it at work were noticeably muted on Monday. Hopefully I'll hear no more about your pretentious soap opera.

Twin Peaks the return is possibly my favourite thing ever put to screen. Seen it twice and want to sit through the 18 hours a third time.
