The more popular the show got the less tits they put in.

Attract viewers in the first couple of series, become a world wide phenomenon and lower the tit count, no longer required....

But, where the fuck did all the Dothraki horsemen come from? Only about half a dozen returned from the white walker charge.

Yes will get on with life now

You know it’s not a documentary?

I actually think our governments should use it as an instruction set.

Got all the right people ready for the main parts..

Agree with whats been said last two series have been disappointing, especially the last. Mad as a box of frogs from seemingly nowhere, lame death of sersei. Build up over god knows how many seasons of white walkers and its all over in one episode.

Honestly found this last series quite boring and poorly executed.

Not a series I ever got into myself, but I gather Season 8 was crap and I imagine if I'd invested that much time and interest in something for it to just fizzle out I'd be pissed too. Surely the screen-writers etc., must have seen where it was going but did it anyway?

I understand fans have over a million signatures on a petition to have Season 8 re-written (not that I think that would ever happen).

No. It will never happen, pointless petition.

The problem with the writing is that the series overtook the books. When they didn't have any of the detailed, complex, layered and clever original material to draw from, they showed what they were made of. Not much.

We endured series after series of cersei and evil acts...

And I cant believe I'm analysing TV to this extent on a public BMW forum

I had the same thought. The wall and the knights watch was to keep the white walkers out. With them gone surely there's no need for it?

I can live without that plot hole. It's a big place, you never know what might still be up there.

At the start of the whole show no one believed in white walkers either.

Plus, they didn't really stay as the Knights Watch anyway, he left the wall with the wildings and headed into the north beyond the wall.

That one can be explained away, the Dothraki army can't. It looked bigger than before the battle with the white walkers.

Yes looked as though Jon Snow is going to live out his days beyond the wall as a free man with the wildlings.

Maybe some of those brave Dothraki warriors were hiding for the rest of the battle with the night king

I thought it was building up to a showdown between Sansa and Daenerys which would have been good.

Got to say I was disappointed with the last episode.

What kind of showdown could they have written? It couldn't have been a battle.

Ultimately Sansa used her brain to win, which was her only option. She made her play to win as soon as she told Tyrion about Jon Snow. She got it right.

And now I really am thinking about it too much.......

Sounds like a spin-off to me. Queen of the North.

That sounds like it would be boring. Like when she was in the temple and selling oysters for a whole season. Maybe if she does the whole faces thing that might be cool.

Depends on what she finds to the West I guess.

Apparently there is going to be 3 or 4 spin offs so I'm sure some of them will be good.

Nah, will suffer the same issue already mentioned with no background material and sloppy screenwriters.

Unfortunately I'd have to agree..
It was a success because it wasn't made for the sole purpose of popularity and making money... quite rightly because it was so good the popularity and money came as a side effect..
When that becomes the driving force, the substance loses out.

I suspect they'll appeal to the Disney crowd and minority's and dilute it.. marvel style..

Hopefully I'm wrong and really cynical

Sorry I am om dial up so only just watched the last couple of episodes last night

It was always going to be tough to end an epic series and it was good enough. Looks like there is good scope to resurrect the series at some point.

Off the GOT topic, I stumbled accross a brilliant Australian WW1 series on Amazon prime called 'Gallipoli'. I binged watched all 7 episodes over a couple of evenings. It is a must watch if you like things like Band of Brothers.
