Game of Meh

[blake]

my question to all the critics is that when jon saves everyone from dany, which since day 1 has been the only logical outcome (at least the part where jon become king), do you already have your "lazy writing" posts written or do you plan on doing that immediately after the show?

there are people who simply post negative reviews because they understand that its almost a brand for them and it guarantees them X volume of attention. im sure they have several scenarios mapped out with corresponding hit pieces for each so they can be first to the SEO market.

and there are also people, and i include myself in this pool, who are fairly agnostic about the plot arcs but look back with a sense of longing and loss to when that arc was handled artfully. and if they dont uncork something remarkable in the next 70 minutes, we will have things to say about it as well.

come on, complaining about varys of all people? the hound-mountain battle was actually the most satisfying thing they could have done to resolve that storyline, but you didn't even like that.

again, i didn't like the way the genocidal danerys heel turn was written. i wish they developed that over the course of another year or two. there's not a great rationale for dany snapping like that when it happened.

but i also don't hate it to the point where i thought the overall episode was bad, and i was fully on the edge of my seat the whole time.

then we have people like vaughn who admitted months ago, that if jon ends up king, he will consider that "too predictable" and a terrible ending. now i'm not comparing you to vaughn, since i don't want to insult you, but there's too many people of this mindset, where they are just incapable of appreciating things.

bottom line is that for as "bad" as this season is, it's light years better than the best season of any other show that ever existed. and you people are losing sight of this.
