    I agree but my point still stands :giggle1:

    I don’t mind people criticising it but some of the over the top * is incredible.

    It feels like some people are acting out of character at times, and I'm left wondering whether it's an underdeveloped character arc or forced dramatic tension.

    There’s little points in that episode like Jon telling Bran to tell the girls about who he really is. Then it suddenly cuts and we don’t see their reaction. Also Bron just turning up. They’ve got more than enough story for a 10 episode season but they’ve cut loads of detail. Some people are claiming it’s a cost thing, but apart from episode 3, the episodes couldn’t have been that pricey to shoot.

    Naw it disnae. The story arcs (whatever the * they are) don’t look good and it’s got no book to be based on so it’s *. OK?

    A narrative arc is just the structure of a story: a character - let's call him Paul - could start the story as a condescending *, for instance, and end it with a personality.

    Thanks Vertie. If you’d have asked @JC Anton though he’d have informed you I went to 2 Universities and didn’t need your English lesson.

    Thought that was another underwhelming episode to be honest. Feels like they're going to have to pack in a * of a lot in the last 2 episodes to tie up all the loose ends and give a satisfactory ending that doesn't have more questions than answers.

    We're not going to be getting a satisfying ending. They're systematically butchering what was once the best thing on TV.

    some of the actors are on 500k an episode and considering they are all mostly in these final episodes then it soon racks up

    Feel like game of thrones fans are turning into star wars fans where they build up all these theories in their own heads and then when it doesn't play out exactly the way the imagined it they get angry about it, when it was never going to happen in the first place because its not their story.

    There absolutely is some legitimate criticism but some folk complain that it's too slow, others complain its going too fast some complain there's too much talking and others think it's just battles now with no interesting politics stuff. There was never a chance that the last season or the ending would satisfy everyone because too many people have different ideas about what the show is and what makes them happy.

    The fact GRRM hasn't come up with a way to continue his story when he's been writing the books for 20 years suggests he's * struggling as well.
