Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
But the same time was given to Jon & Ygritte...they were clearly more believable as a couple (as they are married now).

Jon & Dany have never had any chemistry. In the books, Jon only falls for Ygritte b/c he sees a softer side of her when she sings. Which is even more reason why his character wouldn't fall for Dany b/c all the girl gives is fire & brimstone.
Both Danny and Jon's real life actors (I still don't know how to word that lol)..... they both said they LAUGH when they have to kiss and make love.. Cause they been nothing but buddy buddy for all these years and never even filmed a scene... So they can't even fake like they more than bro and sis, cause in their minds, it's corny in real life too

And damn if it doesn't show on camera

This season is getting a lot of bad heat. I've always wondered what they were gonna do when they caught up to the unfinished books. With anime, they continue on and it's almost never as good as the actual direction the story was headed but they can go back and do the true version but that's not happening here. Things feel rushed, the political maneuvering seems absent. Hopefully, George R.R Martin finishes his story so someone can tell me how the story really ends.

Nah, not at all. Ygritte was in 17 episodes during the course of season 2, 3, and 4. She was captured by Jon, took his virginity, saved his life when the wildlings wanted to clip him, had her life saved by Jon when they were climbing the wall and free folk breh cut their rope, had her heart broken when he ran off back to the Nights Watch and shot him with arrows, and then obviously died in his arms.

Jon & Daeny spent 4 episodes together last season discussing the oncoming war and whether he should bend the knee. She went to save him at Eastwatch from the WWs, and then they clapped in the boat. This season they've spent 4 episodes together riding dragons to the waterfall, fighting the NK together, and now discussing his lineage, his family, and the repercussions.

8 episodes in total with decent screen time together and they were throwing around that love word halfway through. Impossible for the audience to believe it or care which is a shame.

That's just a clickbait meme, Varys never says anything about Robert not wanting to rule in that scene. He just calls Robert a disaster and says things have only gotten worse.

It may not be that scene but I distinctly remember Varys saying Robert was a disaster because he had no interest in ruling. I agree the meme is clickbait tho

GRRM has said before something like he wishes they could or should do more seasons

They could avoid a lot of shyt they fukked up on by having these last two seasons be 10 episodes each.

HBO should have just replaced the show runners.

1) Season 8 about the Night King
2) Season 9 / Final season about taking on Cersei
