The Game of Thrones Finale Was Fine and Everybody Needs to Take a Nap
It was fine. Now it’s over.
Go take a nap.
It’s nearly impossible to write a good ending. That’s why I actually have mad respect for David Chase and the end of The Sopranos.
David Chase had the perfect ending, it was the second to last episode which was his initial finale. But then he pulled a Lucas and had to make the ending all happy and screwed up whatever good vibes he had.
[…] I gather everyone has feelings about the “Game of Thrones” […]
I’d just like to say that being emotionally invested in this and other forms of disposable entertainment I can’t wait for the reboot of Love Boat! is exactly what the Silk Monkey Overlords have envisioned for us. My best advice? Pay all kinds of attention to the corporation behind the curtain!

New show idea….
“The Boating Dead”
I do love that I was expecting a longer article from ISM and then get 10 words total. It made me actually laugh out loud. Well done
There are already too many words about Game of Thrones. If Grr doesn’t feel like writing any more words, we should probably show some restraint.
I think this overtakes my Euros preview for Turkey as fewest words in an article.
also, I saw a trailer for “Watchmen” during the Barry finale. Is that gonna be neat and dark (and not too comic book-y)?
And that Westworld trailer was a nice out of left field surprise.
whoa, if Jesse Pinkman bangs Dolores, that would be fucking incredible
YEAH BITCH! ROBOTS!

One can pray. I mean, it’s HBO, and they have generally earned the benefit of the doubt thus far.
oh, and speaking of premium teevee FUN times – Chernobyl tonight!!
/Emily Watson is one of the most underrated actresses of our times
For me, it was pretty much the best they could have done given how thoroughly they have been butchering things for the last two years.
It’s like watching the Raiders win their final game of the season enroute to going 3-13.
Fun fact*: The Raiders have not won their final game of the season since 2010!
*fact is only fun if you do not like the Raiders
At it’s worst and most rushed, it was still fine. Just give me a bunch of big fireworks at the end so that I can move onto something else. My guess is another two years just to get to this point would have been brutally boring. We’re talking about a lot of filler.
Not to be a dick about it, but hasn’t the whole series been a bunch of filler? I mean, did they really need that many fucking characters?
They had to bring folks in to kill off. Come on man!!!!!!
– The Walking Dead
After my experiences with the end of Dexter and Veep – I am an avid completionist, but gave up on last two seasons of each – in no way, shape, or form do I want to pick up a show that sputters to the finish.
Fuck it, I know everything can’t be WOW! like Six Feet Under (h/t Senor Weaselo) or even Breaking Bad. But I am not going to intentionally get myself mad.
/plus, it’s always a fine line for me – I like some intelligent sci-fi (Westworld and most of Crichton’s books, for example), but usually not fantasy. You put dragons and/or wizards in it, I’m usually out.
The Dragons and Ice Zombies are the worst part of GoT.
But whatever. It’s fantasy. There’s going to be some magical bullshit in most fantasy. At worst I just wasn’t very excited about the fantasy elements, but it was never work to get through an episode. They were all at least a little cool.
Did you know there are still people out there watching The Walking Dead? Could you imagine if this show started to get like that? Fuck it, just pull the ripcord and end the bastard now before I start to hate it.
I finally quit TWD like 20 episodes ago. The shame still lingers.
I quit TWD before it was cool to quit TWD
I never watched TWD.
I quit the Walking Dead before the first comic.
I was too young to personally watch Six Feet Under (it premiered when I was 9), it was a Padre Weaselo show.
Game of Thrones Is like the Alliance of American Football: it ended before I got a chance to see a single minute of it.
You sound just like a woman describing her one-night stand with Rick Pitino.
Banner this man (yet again)!

A duck wearing a hat…is the best kind of duck.

A duck drinking boilermakers is an even better duck.

Why is Brienne writing in the book of knights while in full armor?
Bitches love armor?
It’s Game of Thrones, you never know who’s gonna die next! And apparently the cast has become self-aware of that fact.
Can she write faster?
I hope the USS Enterprise flew those lovebirds Luke Skywalker and Ellen Ripley with the one ring to rule them all back to Neo at Hogwarts before the Terminators and Predators could stop them.
NERD!
