    Game of Thrones Season 8 (2019)

    It was an excellent documentary and I urge all fans to watch it. I was very impressed with the approach the filmmakers took in glorifying "the little people" who were behind the scenes and made the show the success it was. In particular, they followed an "extra" who had been with the series...

    Just got around to watching the final episode this evening. I did read the spoiler thread beforehand but was interested to see how it would play out. I wasn't satisfied nor dissatisfied with the finale. I just shrugged my shoulders afterward and thought, "okay." Having binge-watched all 7...

    I hid the link but those names didn't necessarily mean anything. It just means that we find out what happens to each one of those characters. I know, because I was tempted to read it.

    Very well said, Jim. BTW, been reading a lot of your reviews and thoughts in various threads. You write very well and have a knack for giving vivid descriptions of scenes and situations. Consider me a fan.

    I didn't realize until I did some Internet searching this morning that there was such a backlash against this week's episode. I understood it completely. Did not bother me. This video explains much and also contains MAJOR spoilers for anyone who has not yet seen Episode 5

    Game of Thrones Season 8 (2019)

    Just finished watching this episode. Holy Smokes! THIS....THIS....THIS was the episode I was waiting for. In a season that seemed a bit lackluster, this episode really hit it home. I have to say, all the Internet forecasts about how people would die got it all wrong. While I realize some...

    Game of Thrones Season 8 (2019)

    At the moment I would agree with that. However, it all depends on what kind of ending GOT intends for its viewers. This is a series known for killing off likable characters and not providing a happy ending. On the other hand, the cast has come out and said they thought the ending was...

    Game of Thrones Season 8 (2019)

    Sort of figured they did. I just watched this week's episode. Not sure which airing my DVR recorded, but the cup was definitely not there. This episode was "okay." As others have mentioned, waaaay too much time spent on the Winterfell celebration. This episode, in my opinion, only really...

    Game of Thrones Season 8 (2019)

    I agree. For a series that has had some incredible storytelling and some AMAZING surprises, the payoff to the killing of the Night King just seemed rather cheap. Without any buildup, they just put Arya in the shot with a knife. I know one is supposed to suspend all belief for this show...

    What angers me was the blame was put on viewers with uncalibrated displays. I would say over 60% of those viewers have no idea what a calibrated display is. Just a lame excuse from the cinematographer. They fucked this up.

    Yeah, I suppose so... I was just hoping there was a little more cleverness -- a little more effort --- put into that particular scene spoiled above.

    Just finished watching Episode 3 so allow me to rant in the same manner many of you have already. From listening to Howard Stern's anger over the episode to reading the huge amount of Internet complaints, I knew going in this episode would not look great. However, I became increasingly pissed...

    Aaah, okay. Now I remember. Just forgot that they were Samwise's Dad and Brother

    Game of Thrones Season 8 (2019)

    Thank you. That makes more sense. And I didn't realize that Daenerys killed Samwise's father and brother for not bending the knee. That was not exactly mentioned but I suppose should have been accepted, and thus, the reason for Sam having to be alone to collect his thoughts and shed some tears.

    Greg, First, thank you for the lengthy explanation. I have to look up every single one of those names as the explanation reads like a Chinese menu. Not your fault. I am not just versed in all these character names. I don't know what Daenary's relationship is in all this, but I did pick up...

    Game of Thrones Season 8 (2019)

    Really cool to be among all of you for my first participation in a current GOT thread. As some of you may be aware, I binge-watched the entire 7 seasons in a course of 2-3 weeks last October. No argument here that this is probably the best TV series I have ever watched. I wasn't necessarily...
