Now I’m typing this, it’s got me wanting to go back and watch it again. Wasn’t even sure about watching it when it first starts, because Ross Geller was in it? That episode is the most terrifying bit of TV I can think of. Gripping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bajthejambo Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 If I could add a current show, then I'd suggest Billions. You can't take your eyes off of it. On topic, I can't believe we only have three hours of Thrones left! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. That's because Band of Brothers was real history with real people while GoT is fairy tales with invented characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haken Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 17 hours ago, Cade said: The whole season feels rushed, half-ersed and as if the show makers don't care any more. Just want to get to the end and find out who wins. 16 hours ago, Zico said: The last two seasons have been pish - Eastenders with dragons. It’s night and day (or fire and ice) from the first four seasons. Not long to go now though so might as well stick with it. I think what's been noticeable is that since the TV has caught up with and passed the books, things have happened much more quickly. I have doubts that GRRM will ever finish writing ASoIaF, but if he does, I imagine they'll cpontain all the detail that's missing from the TV.

Bozi Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 Watched all of sons of Anarchy and agree that after season 3 it diminished in quality quite quickly. The Wire was incredible, brilliant, outstanding but I do know some people that struggled with the dialogue. Breaking Bad was equally brilliant Started Mad Men but couldn't get into it(I would have stuck with it but the wife couldn't) Lost is a bit like most (I exclude It and the stand) Stephen King books, it starts off amazing, interesting, magical, mystical, then completely loses its way because it doesn't know how to finish a story.

Bozi Posted May 9, 2019 Share Posted May 9, 2019 I want to get round TO sopranos and deadwood but starting Line of Duty and halfway through season 2 of Ozark. For what it's worth I think Game of Thrones has been tremendous and its quite normal for it to reach breakneck speed towards the end the time for talking is done. Anyone who has endured the last few years of the walking dead would agree that "all out war" should mean just that and not ten episodes of inane chattering Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughesie27 Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 What has Bran staying alive through all of this actually achieved? From what I've seen he has offered nothing to any characters (his existence and journey resulting in his friends being killed) for the show his visions into the past is only helping the audience understand the wider story, but this doesn't impact any characters. Even Sam was able to work out who Jon really was. His lines and screen time are basically pointless I hope he dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Sam was able to work out who Jon really was. His lines and screen time are basically pointless I hope he dies. To be fair, all Sam knew was that Rhaegar had his marriage annulled and re-wed Lyanna, there was nothing in the diaries about a baby. Only Ned, Howland Reed (who is never mentioned in the show) and the birthing nurses (and presumably the previous 3 eyed raven) know about the baby until Bran sees it through weirwood.net. Littlefinger also hints in the show there was more to the story about RT kidnapping and raping LS, but that was probably just fan service and laying the foundations for the later reveal You could argue he was also important re the Night King because he told them the NK would come for him and he could be used as bait. But yes other than that relatively useless, I mean he could have maybe told Dany and Jon about Euron's fleet etc instead of telling Tyrion about the history and lore of wheelchairs, but maybe its all part of the plan (to avoid Dany ending up on the throne and being Mad King II and/or because he isn't Bran Stark anymore he doesn't want to get involved in squabbles between houses; his main objective of assisting in seeing off the NK being achieved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was always planned for 4 seasons and they canned it after 3, meaning a hastily cobbled together ending was put in place. Annoyingly just as groups were forming and sides were being taken for the finale. Like above, hopefully the movie sorts that out. If anything, it gives me a reason to watch it all over again in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
