Winter Came…and it was LAME. GOT review

May 4, 2019

Posted by adrianne curry

Last week, I watched the most highly anticipated episode of any series ever. Since book 1 and season one, The Battle Of Winterfell… The Great War has been teased nonstop. It (the show) started with the walkers. The ENTIRE STORY was how bad ass these guys were and how THE GAME OF THRONES political battles between families ARE NOTHING…and that this was the ONLY war that mattered. The prince who was promised..the prophecies. ALL OF THESE THINGS MATTER. The STORY matters!

Jon Snow’s ENTIRE STORY ARC has been the wall, the walkers, the night king. However, FUCK the entire plot… just toss Arya in…who’s story has NOTHING TO DO with the fucking great war, the prince who was promised, etc…. wielding the SAME MOVE Rey did in Star wars to make feminists happy. I am a woman. I am NOT happy. This was the shittest writing I HAVE EVER been exposed to…and I fucking watched TWILIGHT. Do you hear me? TWILIGHT! Hardhome, Battle of the Bastards…The explosion of the Sept….Stannis laying siege to Kings Landing…ALL way better in every way. Can we mention the thick PLOT ARMOR? No one cared Ser Jorah died. You have been waiting for it forever. However, what was his fucking story? IT MAKES NO SENSE! Theon? Expected from the moment he told Bran he would defend him. Jesus Christ! NO ONE ELSE DIED! The great battle….and NO ONE DIES! Not even POD! Come on! In the GOOD DAYS, half if not MORE of everyone we loved would be DEAD. NAME ME a SINGLE Dothraki who died? I am waiting! Name me a single unsullied that died? TWO DEATHS? I cant even make Beric count, he was dead in like, book 3!

My entire home is a nod to Winterfell. All my decorations are sigils, etc. My WEDDING was based off Game Of Thrones. I forgave the shitty writing of the last season. I was ok with the story telling going from stellar to bad. I forgave the boring crapfest of episode 1…episode 2 gave me hope….But this? This is fucking ABYSMAL. ARYA had no fucking business killing the night king. She has nothing to do with his story. Jon wasn’t even THERE when the Night King died! Jon is OVER. He was a useless dumb dumb as is Dany and her dumb dumb do nothing Dragons. WHO CARES ANYMORE? Why tell us the house battles mean nothing for fucking 8 seasons…then magically have the last 3 EPIOSDES of the show be about THE HOUSE WARS!???

The Night King was super weak and stupid. What a horrible waste of what could have been an interesting character. What was the point? What was the point of Bran? Strongest warg/green seer EVER and he doesnt do anything? GHOST is a Ghost. The Direwolves are just as huge a part as the dragons…but who cares. Why would jon send his fucking direwolf into the charge? Just help me! We got NO ANSWERS TO ANYTHING. A flying magical girl who can water dance over a thousand walkers and The Night King’s commanders…literally FLOATING THROUGH THE FUCKING AIR… ended the war? Did anyone notice Dany threw her beloved armies OUTSIDE THE WALL and protected the Northerners INSIDE of it? They said they wanted this to be like Helms deep, maybe they could have learned about HOW TO WAGE A WAR and where to place your army from fucking THEODEN.

Fine, if Arya had killed the Night King like Éowyn slayed the fell beast AND The witch King…sure….so long as Jon had his THEODEN moments where he made a difference in some way. Nope! Jon and Dany were useless. The entire Dothraki, gone in 2 seconds. This entire SHIT FEST was covered up by pretty visuals…if your screen was light enough to EVEN SEE THEM. Also LORD VARYS HASN’T SAID A FUCKING WORD ALL SEASON! You take mother fucking 80 years to tell a story…then jam too much into too little of a last season that you forget a bunch of characters even EXIST!

Fuck off, HBO writers. I supported this show since before it came out. Preached how great it was before anyone even cared of it’s existence. I dedicated almost a decade of paying for HBO simply for THIS. This entire show was a waste of my time…well, not the first 4 seasons.

Why are there 3 episodes left? WHO CARES? I don’t think I can even bring myself to watch this travesty to nerdom. For the first time EVER, I am not happy and or excited to watch any more Game Of Thrones.

It’s fine if you liked this. I am happy for you. I am glad someone somewhere isn’t as heart broken as I am. I dedicated years of my life reading, rereading these books…watching and rewatching a show that literally took a steaming shit on the brilliant story it was telling for a shock factor…like a shitty horror flick.

      I’m fairly confident HBO would have given them all the episodes they wanted.

    Yup. Absolutely agree.
    I did not see that Arya part coming
    I liked the part with her and the hound.
    I liked the part were Jamie kinda takes charge
    Liked the red woman arc.
    Would’ve like to see the dragon fights.
    Why couldn’t ghost guard bran as well.
    Had some highs. Best I can say 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Like why would north even want to go south now.

    What it proves to me is that Hollywood is bankrupt when it comes to writing. Until GRRM writes another book, GOT will be dark $hit.

    Omg… I could have wrote this. THANK YOU! I thought it was nuts that no on else I knew seemed disappointed.

    The only thing that could save it is a massive plot twist at this point.

    Being that I’m completely book ignorant in this series, I relied heavily on this show to enlighten me about the books. In this last episode, I really thought I was watching something great and I fell deep in to the hype of it all, but your review really makes me feel like I was just visually molested.

    Its pretty sad that today’s writers can’t find a way to pay homage to the Author’s original content but rather they try and suck up to whatever’s popular in the world of social media and exploit the shit out of it.

    This feeling is just as bad when I found out my local sushi place wasn’t serving the fish they said they were. #duped

    Thanks Adrianne.

    The difference between what the author wrote and what HBO writers were capable of became ever more stark (Like that) as they moved further and further away from his last book. The series has desended into typical TV mediocracy.

    I thought it was a massive waste of potential. Whilst I don’t mind that it was Arya who killed the Night King, the whole set up was ridiculous and underused most of the characters. If I’d have done it (and I acknowledge I’m no writer), I’d have done it as a chain of events so more of the key character’s led to the ultimate defeat of the Night King. Maybe something like; White Walker attacks Jaime freezing his sword to his metal hand, Brienne saves him but dies/injured in the process, Tormund & Podrick enraged by this, give Jaime space to get the Brienne’s sword and go after the White Walkers towards Bran, this would allow Jaime to kill the Ice Dragon, with the two swords that were once Ice, also replacing the Kingslayer moniker with Dragonslayer, this would allow Jon to get through to Bran, stopped by the other White Walkers, Night King gloats and slowly moves to Bran, allowing a dying Theon to get one last blow distracting the Night King, giving Arya the opening she needs.

    or something better than what we got.

    I just got into the show a little over a month ago. I binge watched it and didn’t realize that the last season was about to air, although I read the books 8 years ago. So I was apprehensive (an hour long battle ep is boring, I find) but excited. Until I saw the Dothraki WASTED at the onset – then I knew it would be a clusterfuck. I’m not a gamer or battle oriented by any means but I knew that they were being slaughtered FOR NOTHING. I knew that the Unsullied were about to be slaughtered FOR NOTHING. Except to annihilate Dany’s forces and likely set her up as an underdog to fulfill their political dogma drivel i.e. the tale of the battle will reach everywhere in the world and the inhabitants of the 7 kingdoms, upon realizing that Dany sacrificed her forces to save them from the Night King – and that Cercei did nothing) will unite behind Dany to Cercei. So Dany sacrificed her (foreigner) armies but will gain a larger (home grown) army that will take down Cercei. It was always about the Houses because Hollywood is obsessed with the Houses.

    What’s worse is that you couldn’t SEE anything. The b.s. line is that the producers wanted to “keep it real” but the show featured dragons and white walkers, so that doesn’t wash.

    As for Arya, while the Night King was Jon’s storyline and not hers, her storyline has always been family. Avenging them, yes, but she’d want to prevent Bran from getting killed. I think her initial involvement in the battle was in response to what she had evolved into (a killer), getting knocked into the wall was a sort of hard reboot back to 11 yr old Arya, and Mellisandre bridged the two so that the warrior could do what the child couldn’t – prevent a loved one’s death. Which she did, but had the added effect of saving the rest.

    As for the crypts, I dunno. It was the safest place for the vulnerable but they nonetheless should have been kitted with dragon glass knives. Disappointing.

    Great analysis but we shouldn’t be surprised since GRRM gave the writing of the storyline to HBO. His vision was nothing like the last three HBO seasons.

    I thought it was epic right to the end. I love being surprised. I dig Arya. The writers made it clear that the Night King wanted Bran, not Jon. I have no complaints.

    Some things I really didn’t like is too many people outside the castle. They had a row of spikes and oil they could have lined up behind and been way more effective for those who were actually outside. And then they started off with the calvary charge??? Calvary is meant to be shock troops to turn a battle, not start it. Plus they could have easily had 3 times as many people guarding Bran.

    Horrible, horrible strategy by the good guys. Everything else I was ok with.

    I agree with you 100%. This is all the stuff I had been saying to my husband. He doesn’t think like I do but I guess I got in to the character more and now I couldn’t care about any of them. I was screaming at the TV when Jamie and Brienne slept together that “This is written wrong!!!!” I am going to soldier through the last 3 episodes because it is pretty much the only TV my husband and I watch together but blech. Ugh.
