Was "Hardhome" the best episode of Game of Thrones? "Night's Watch, with me!"

Adding the F/Aegon plot line to the show, would’ve given D&D enough time to wait for GRRM and the source material to come out. We would be on szn 9 right now, awaiting szn 10. And I’m sure GRRM would’ve given them insight to TWOW and A Dream of Spring. But D&D wanted to rush it. Omitting F/Aegon shot them in the foot in terms of them having to write their own plot lines and in turn speeding up the series and making things feel rushed. No way in hell should they only have a 6 episode szn finale, in which half of it was filler and wasteful plot lines. The books had enough plot lines to keep ppl interested and hooked for a few more years. But that’s what happens when you omit major and minor book characters. You thin out the show, and rush it, now you grasping for storylines. :mjlol:

10 seasons is unrealistic. All the actors wanted to leave. That's 10 years of people's lives..these guys just weren't good writers.

nikka fake aegon isn't a minor character. He's literally the reason none of this makes sense. And I didn't even read the books, just chapter summaries.

Dany will turn because fake aegon actually took westeros and the people love him more.

I bet those slavery are the work of varys in the books to keep her busy longer.

Aegon Targaryen (Son of Rhaegar) landed on Westeros with the golden company, the mercenary group that showed up at the end of the show, and they assaulted Stannis' hometown and took it over. They also sent messages to Dorne to join them.

Damn I def don't remember that in the show. Gotta rewatch that

jon connington pov.

The opening scene showed them on that faq tip. Yall was really #dorneset?:gucci:

Every house is fukked up in one way or the other. I’m looking at it like a “lesser of two evils”. The books really showed how Dorne could have stepped up, but like every other house in the GOT universe, family really doesn’t mean shyt

Edit: forgot to add the “Sand Snakes”. Great in the book, worthless in the show

yeah people forget what was going on behind the scenes
the showrunners had a star wars trilogy planned and then the salaries of the actors were increasing like crazy. The show's budget was competing with blockbuster films

His scenario is the ultimate scenario for an author
write a book and then it's sequel every 5-10 years
get people hyped for the next one and then show runners get fed up
pay you millions of dollars to make the show with you rewriting shyt you've already written
show ends badly and no one blames you
make the "true" ending and get people waiting again:mjgrin:
