Patchwork

Spoilers Alert! I go into detail about my thoughts of both the series as a whole and the finale. You have been warned. So, Game of Thrones has ended. One of my favorite TV dramas has concluded (Probably my third favorite if I think about it critically). And what do they have to show for it? What did I think of this epic conclusion? Meh. Not angry, but certainly disappointed. So the major story beats if you haven't seen the show is that Dany threatens world domination - wanting to break her wheel, as it were. Tyrion confronts her after finding Jamie and Cersei's bodies and gets imprisoned. Jon talks to Tyrion, he convinces him to kill Dany and he stabs her in the throne room. This intro to the episode is fine. I don't have major problems with it - other then it feeling rushed. Then again, it was probably the best time for a rebellion - kill her before she can recover. Again, I'm fine with everything up to this point, more or less. I can forget about how quickly Dany...

  Dawn has broken on another Monday. The ashes have settled and the sun rises a new. But the anger that plagued my sleep the night before is still burning as hot as ever. “How could this have happened?” I keep asking both myself and my partner. How, indeed. While I can’t delve into the how, considering I don’t work on the show, I can explain the why. So last night (Sunday May 13.) Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 5 aired. I watched the show and after about 15-20 minutes, I wanted to completely give up on it. If you follow the show at all, then you would know that the final season has been a bit sub-par. I was one of the viewers arguing that it was still good. I argued that it was still fun to watch and well written. I am disappointed in how the Night King was defeated. How it happened was fine and Ayra dealing the final blow was okay - would’ve made more sense for a different character to do the deed but whatever. My problem with the Battle for Winterfell was that so...
