disclaimer : i ain’t sayin there’s a lot of shit wrong with the show . the mistreatment of characters and their handling from the writers is near fucking abhorrent as far as seen , and it’s a tragedy the fact a lot of plotlines , character development , and conclusions have come the way they have . the way the show is currently being written is a disgrace .
- on the other hand , i ,,, do love the current plot . yes , it needed a lot more time to come into fruition : god , a lot more time . more episodes , more depth . they took two years and what they’re handing us doesn’t feel like two years , it feels like six months . BUT ... i do love the idea of the current plot .
- i think it was understood from the beginning that daenerys was capable of as much evil as she was good , and her actions in a certain light are completely understandable : she’s alone and grief - stricken in a world where one of her last true friend’s words were dracarys . i think d&d are shitting on themselves by not doing a better job of showing this : they’re vilifying her without giving a full portrait of her mindframe and almost every scene is painted to make her look like the bad guy .
- the lannister storyline is just poetic . painful , and seeming a waste of jaime’s character arc , but in the end it’s a tragedy . think of the theme of their house , the song that plays nearly every major scene of theirs : the reigns of castamere . oh , it’s a disgusting , terrifying end for a toxic relationship for both cersei and jaime , but it’s fitting .
- arya’s whole storyline ? don’t need to say a word . we love her .
- while i’m not okay with sansa’s justification that she’s “ no longer a little bird “ because of her traumatic experiences , i ... think it’s an interesting juxtaposition between her and daenerys : her first priority will always be her home , the north ( in my eyes ! ) , and she’s being the wolf she always has been . protective , fierce , and heart - wrenchingly loyal .
- OKAY BUT ARYA CALLING HIM SANDOR ? BEFORE HE DIED ? that ... that was painful . i think , alike jaime & cersei’s ending , it was something that was always coming . it was fittingly tragic .
- i’m not okay with rhaegal’s death , no . that felt like it had no real ... purpose to the plot or storyline other than to further help paint daenerys as a “ mad queen “ . lazy writing .
- i’m not okay with euron’s actions , either ?? he’s supposed to be “ crazy “ but ??? there is no genuine purpose here . his ambition is to be king ??? to fuck cersei ??? i think he was used as a scape - goat to ferry the golden company , but beyond that i think it might’ve been more ic if he’d gone home like he said in season 7 .
- JON .... i’m ... cool ? with jon’s plotline . he doesn’t want the throne . but ,,, what he saw ... what happened in the sack of king’s landing ,,, that was ... traumatic . i’m genuinely excited to see how he struggles with his morals versus what happened .
- grey worm attacking innocents felt extremely ooc , but ... i ,, get it ?? missandei’s final word in mind , his grief and loyalty to daenerys , the scene of them burning her collar ? it was to cement and show viewers that bond between him and dany . it’s ......... fair i guess ,,, ?
- BUT THE ACTING / GRAPHICS / ACTUAL CINEMATOGRAPHY ? FUCKING BLESSED !
