It takes some of the lustre of your coolness paint when you have to deliberately go into a thread to make sure people know how much you don't care.
A finale where everyone dies would've been just as controversial
What, that was the Sansa rape episode, what are you even trying to say
User Banned (1 Week): Misogynist Conspiracy Rhetoric
its for Daenerys story, like sansa in s5, where the episode they didn;t liked get review bombed, by "professional reviewers".
Female reviewers quit the show then, then they came back, now they quit again.....
Man, OP. You really enjoy looking at user ratings.
He will be very buzy with the Emmys beeing ad to the highest emmy winning show, and the succesor shows.
that a show scores jump up and down depending if a "professional reviewer" gives the green light to your story.......

But this is critics ratingsMan, OP. You really enjoy looking at user ratings.
The Big Bang Theory also routinely wins Emmy's.
My dad, who has basically the lowest standards and will eat up any stupid thing on the TV, hated it so much he said he regretted subscribing to HBO for it lol
I walked past a couple in the street earlier and heard them saying 'it came out of nowhere she would never do that, the writing has fallen of a cliff, one of the worst endings ever'
I took a chance and asked them if they were talking about game of thrones, they were.
They have never read the books and loved the show, they were extremely annoyed at how insultingly bad this season was.
It felt so good to bitch about this garbage with some randoms and not on the internet. The hatred has gone mainstream baby.
Of course I left them with a lecture on why Stannis is the best character in the books

Apparently the bad reviews hurt your feelings enough for you to come into a thread and complain about it lol.
....and its a good show, not a disaster as someone that dislike it might think?
It's the Daenerys fans, it's the females.... What excuse is next?
This writing was crap.
Man, if you think that that was why the Sansa rape episode was panned by many reviewers then I don't know what to tell you
so the problems they had with it, in the next episode everything were suddenly rated great??

Yes? That episode was shit, the next one was good, and thus rated better?

Oh my fucking god, you're one of those. I'm sorry I engaged you.
The last part didn't, that's called a joke. The rest did. People hate this episode.
If they had a full season to flesh out storylines (like Danaerys major shift), it could have been better. Everything after EP 3 felt horribly rushed. Maybe even just editing it differently could have helped. Night king could have been left as a finale episode.
The Big Bang Theory is a terrible, unfunny sitcom, that's like something that came out pre-Friends.
My apologies, you really enjoy making threads about individual episode ratings. :P
wow, the defenders of the show are now the toxic weirdo's. The worm has turned!
You are in a discussion forum. The whole purpose of this website is to discuss things lol
No, it's not.
It also ended on a disappointingly sexist episode where the female lead who has said she never wanted children was randomly made to be pregnant and happy about it (without even remotely touching on her change of heart) in order to fulfil the male lead's desires.

Lul. I find it to be a good discussion point for a series that's as popular worldwide and across the board as GOT is, that's all.
I agree with ya. But threads like these...there isn't much discussion going on. Just like the last few GoT threads, it quickly devolved into folks saying, "ending good" or "ending bad." It just comes off like folks wanting to have their opinion accepted by some higher power.
Enjoy some professional show reviews, ill add more:

I didn't like most of how this season handled character development, but I liked where the characters ended up. I'm just imagining in my head a version where they had more time and better writing to get the characters to their end points in a more believable way. Jon + Dany never had a super believable relationship, and the split in Dany's forces between those who became disenchanted with her and those who remained loyal happened way too fast. But I felt that the ending for each character was appropriate if bittersweet, which is exactly what I expected from GRRM.
I'm not gonna defend the writing though, it was pretty bad, just like the whole season.

Game Of Thrones Season 8 Finale Recap: And Now Our Watch Has Ended

If the character i supported(?) ended on the throne, then the show would be great...........

Your thesis is that people are upset Danaerys did not end on the throne?
What actors actually didn't like it? I've seen a handful of people cherrypick quotes from Nikolaj, Lena Heady, Conleth Hill and Hempstead-Wright as proof of them not liking something about the finale or final season...then read or watched the actual interview where it turns out they're onboard and satisfied with it after all.
Season 8 could have definitely used more time (I do agree with Benioff and Weiss' judgment that this season had about 6 episodes worth of story left, but think they miscalculated by thinking that that meant only needing 6 episodes to tell it). But I also think there are a lot of people who would've just never been onboard with Dany's turn, no matter how much time was spent building up to it. If your investment in Danerys is as the hero, then how would you ever be down with her burning King's Landing like that?
I'll be curious to see how it plays in the books (uh, someday!) because there's no doubt in my mind that Dany's turn will be part of GRRM's ending too. Similarly, there's no way that defeating the army of the dead before the finale wasn't also part of GRRM's outline too, so I'm not sure saving the Night King for the very end would've worked either unless they wanted to completely change the ending he'd given them.
Man for a second there I thought you were talking about GoT and wondered if I'd missed something huge lol
I agree with this take. I liked the ending.. just the way we go there, was not... great. Pretty much great actors given a fanfiction.net script.
One of many reasons, that are not related to quality and make people rate it 1/10......
Others shaped their story due to book prophecies , that even in the books there might end up completely different from what they want it o be!
