OT: Game of thrones S8:Ep1
- Thread starter Fk_Pitt
- Start date
I thought this episode took a little too much advantage of the reunion of the characters who'd been separated for so long, as well as the introduction of the featured characters who'd never met before. Of course this was necessary given the circumstances of the story and how all of characters' individual story lines are now converging.
That being said, I enjoyed it but I'm looking forward to moving beyond the "family reunion" bit and toward the showdown with the Ice King and whatever madness Cerce is going to roll out for the North.

More lazy writing. A boring episode setting the pieces for 4 episodes of shaky cam battles.
Funny but I too thought the writing was weak. Very weak at times. Some of the dialogue was not As sharp as I’ve been used to. Tyrion’s lines in particular were lazy while the story telling of the overall episode lacked.
Overall though, I watched the episode a 2nd time and liked it more.
The pain is almost over.
The world disagrees.
Also, having Jon's name be Aegon is absurdly stupid.
How so?

I would be absolutely floored if Martin has Jon's "Targ name" be Aegon. Why? Because there was already an Aegon. Aegon Targaryen is the son of Rhaegar and Elia Martell. Why would Lyanna name her son the exact same thing when, to the best of her knowledge, the other Aegon was still alive.
Young Griff is the name of the young man who just invaded Westeros alongside Jon Connington and the Golden Company and may actually be Aegon Targaryen or maybe a Blackfyre at the end of Dance with Dragons.
I have to admit that it’s bizarre...but the whole series, print and tv, is bizarre. I mean, this Aegon Targaryian just slept with his aunt and is in love with her. She’s likely pregnant. Not to mention that another fan favorite character fathered 2, soon to be 3, children with his sister and also pushed a boy out a window when the boy witnessed the two having sex.
I’m sure there’s a good reason the show runners picked the name Aegon. Afterall, Martin is consulting on the show. But no amount of backward thinking surprises me. It’s actually the norm.
Speaking of Martin, has he finished any books lately?
Definitely one of the weaker recent episodes, especially the cersei scenes. But hopefully like before the next one makes up for it. My fear is now they are going to sloppily cram everything together to tie all the loose ends, or worse just leave some loose.
They had to get everyone to the correct locations to prepare for what is coming. They did that. Mission accomplished, except for Theon, who is on the way to Winterfall. It was the shortest show of the final season for that reason.
The scene where Jon rides the dragon may be the worst 5 minutes in the entire series. Was getting Star Wars prequels flashbacks with the writing throughout the episode. Thought season 7 was pretty weak and this picked up right where that left off.
I'm all in when I see a hot blond ( partial to blonde women) riding around on fire breathing dragons who are very protective. That was a great scene.
That's a woman living on the edge. I like that!
I have the blonde at home except no fire breathing dragons to ride around on just a Silverado pick-up truck.
It's all about a complex well written storyline / plot for Mrs Buffett.
All I need is a Taryargen Blonde Queen.
Or scenes of the Little Man/midget getting lucky in the Brothels!
So simple and shallow?

Martin finishes lots of books. The problem is that none of them are the ones people want him to finish.
