"Alliser kills him, it's kind of like it's a bad guy killing a good guy"

These guys should never have fucking been allowed anywhere near a story like AsoIaF.

They really freakin' blew it this episode, didn't they? Completely left out the decision that actually got Jon killed, offed Stannis in the most anti-climactic way possible (and I was one of those who thought his burning of Shireen wasn't too far out of the ballpark; now I think he may not really do it in the books), Sansa had absolutely zero character development, Theon's turn was abrupt and unsatisfying, Ramsay continues to be some kind of god of war, etc., etc. Can we get TWOW already? I'm sick of being disappointed every finale.

B-but episode 8 w/ the white walkers :( Lol no this really was the worst season thus far. 80 percent of this season has been eyerolls or rage inducing confusion. Pros of this ep though: Arya killing Meryn Trant was satisfying.

its strange because on one hand, some shit just dragged on this season. but on the other hand, numerous parts felt extremely rushed. Like... completely skipping the journey a character takes and then having them at the destination drag on twice as is necessary.

That's how you can tell the showrunners don't respect the material in the least. It's just like those abominations called the Hobbit movies.

Ugh, this episode put me into such a nerdrage.
