He was. Like 3 seasons ago. Have you forgotten already?
He was resurrected because he was important and had unfinished business in Westeros which I guess was never fulfilled
Out of DB and Dan's ass.
Yup. They should have let go of their pride and just pass the show onto some new competent writers.
[quote] Perhaps with GRRM at the helm for the final two episodes, we can at least have an incredible conclusion. [/quote]He's not at the helm though... And unless the writers have fooled us and have some insane twist up their sleeves and the NK isn't really dead, then how can this show possibly have anything close to an incredible conclusion? The show is done, man. The last 3 episodes are non canon as far as I'm concerned.
[quote]Nevertheless it's called Game of THRONES.[/quote]It's a much catchier title than "A Song of Ice and Fire". Why does that matter anyway? Since when do titles have to be literal? And if it is, how do we know the NK wasn't part of the game? We never found out his intentions
[quote]The political aspect of the show is the primary storyline, the zombies aspect is the secondary one.[/quote]What are you talking about? Both storylines have always run concurrently since the very beginning.
[quote]Even the opening theme each week shows the different parties involved. Not a zombie in sight.[/quote]Uh... there are no humans in sight either. Only locations. And what's the largest location shown in the opening intro? The Wall. I wonder what it's there for...
[quote]The political storylines are partially based on European history between different parties at war, too.[/quote]How is that relevant to what we're talking about?
[quote] BTW, not everyone came together to fight. MIA: Cersei, Robert Arynn, Riverrun, the Freys and Dornes (what's left).[/quote]How is that relevant to what we're talking about?
[quote]In the Game of Thrones, you win or you die. Slogan used in promos of the show. Zip about zombies.[/quote]Are you sure about that? The most classic and well known slogan from the show and for promotiing the show, is by far "Winter is coming". What is that a reference to again?
It seems like you don't know much about the show at all. Perhaps a rewatch for you is in order. Not that there's much point any more now that s8e3 pretty much rendered the entire show meaningless. I guess you're just one of the MCU loving casual fans who only watch this show due to "hype" who this, rather than watching it because of how original and truly special this show [used] to be.
No, it wasn't. The show was always about people pettily squabbling over who would be on the Iron throne while a major global threat is making it's way south for all of them. And that all the feuding, scheming, lineages and houses would all be destroyed, forgotten and rendered meaningless, unless everyone found a way to put aside their differences in the face of this common enemy.
That is the show.
"Who will get the throne?" is just the highly dumbed down and simplified version of the show, made for the simple minded audience who cannot see the bigger picture.
The mountain is already dead and is powered by magic! I don’t understand why anyone cares about “cleganebowl” so much. It would be cool if the Mountain was still alive and the Hound could actually talk to him and get his revenge properly.
So while The Hound killing the Mountain will still be cool to see, it will now be more of an act of mercy rather than true justice or revenge.
If you think was epic enough to justify all the 8 years of buildup, then you have an incredibly limited imagination. I feel so sorry for you.
Well you're a braindead moron then.
Cersei and The Mountain were on Arya's list. Much better candidates for her to kill, and actually make sense for her character arc. Ilyn Payne is still alive too, as far as I know.
So ruining 8 years of buildup is okay because it justifies Arya's 2 years of filler bs in Braavos?
Dumbass.
How...? Her chance at being redeemed was taken away when they prematurely killed the Night King. Hence no army of the dead in King's Landing for her to use wyldfire on.
Who cares? The show is pretty much ruined already, so there's not much point.
What are you talking about? Are you one of those morons who thought this was a good episode?

Seeking attention? Did you even watch the episode, dumbass? Stop being blinded by hype like a fucking idiot for a second and think about what you saw. 8 years of build up to the Great War only to have it end rather anticlimactically in 1 episode, 3 episodes before the finale. Not to mention the poor production quality of said episode. What about that does not suck?
See, it's probably people like you who I think they are now catering the show toward. "duhhh cleganebowlz hypez lolz. *air horns* OMG DRAGONZ"
The Clegane brothers duel should have been pre-Great War.
I've worried for years that these writers wouldn't be able to juggle both the Night King and Kings Landing storylines simultaneously and it looks like I was right unfortunately. It requires great writing in order to pull it off and it looks like these showrunners have finally proven they do not possess that skill. If they absolutely had to do it linearly, then they should have at least dealt with Cersei and the game playing BEFORE the Great War.
But yeah man, I dunno. Unless they have some trick up their sleeve and the Night King isn't really dead which doesn't seem likely, then I think we can say the show is pretty much ruined. The threat is gone and I don't see much point to the show any more. Sure it will be cool to see where all the characters end up and who, if anyone gets the throne. But it just feels kind of pointless now.
I know. Never before have I been so incredibly disappointed. I don't know what to say really. It really sucks and is a damn shame. The show is pretty much ruined now.
Dude who cares? The Great war, the war to pretty much save the world has just been won. The stakes are gone.
And then comes the worst thing of all. Arya being the one to kill the Night King. This was my worst fear for the show, as I knew the dumbass writers had a boner for the character and that she was a fan favourite for the dumbass casual viewers. Such a terrible option to be the one to do it. It made absolutely no sense. There was nowhere for her to jump from. The godswood was a completely flat area and it was surrounded by White Walkers. So this ancient mystical being who has been carefully planning his attack south of the wall for thousands of years is killed in the most illogical and ridiculous way possible by the least worthy person to do it. Literally Bran, having eaten some dragon glass as a crow & shitting it out onto the Night King would have been better and more creative death. D&D are talentless hacks.
And then we have that godawful sequence of Arya sneaking through the castle. I was confused as hell when this started, wondering where the battle was and questioning whether I had been missing a big chunk of the episode. But nope, one second she's outside fighting off some wights, struggling and then the next she's indoors sneaking around the library. Which for some reason is dead quiet, with maybe the sound of a slight breeze or snowfall outside. WTF? There is a damn battle raging outside... it should be loud as HELL, even indoors. There should be screams of pain, dragonfire blazing and swords clashing. How something like this could go through editing and sound mixing without anyone picking up on this or questioning it just baffles me.
