I was unable to predict shit before in that show. In this season I can. The writing is slowly turning into Hollywood generic shit.
But still. I really enjoy it.
- that's solidly on grrmartin for not fucking putting out a book in time. they didn't sign up to finish this thing and are clearly winging it.Greedo
- Yeah the writing is horrendous this season but there's enough dragon battles to not care.colin_s
- I thought G.R.R.R. Martin basically told them how the story will end...which raises the question of why he still hasn't finished the books.yuekit
- G.R.R.R.R.R. Martin is lazy af.Bennn
- Thought the story was that he was ill, so may never finish the books, therefore he gives them a lose feel as to where he wanted to goIanbolton

I think part of the problem is having an increasing number of characters (the dragons and the entire Night King army) that are completely CGI.
Compare last week's episode's with the second to last episode from the previous season "Battle of the Bastards." That was amazing filmmaking because they successfully merged effects and live action in a way that felt real.
This last episode on the other hand was so heavy on effects that it felt unconvincing. It reminds me of the difference between the original LOTR movies and The Hobbit.
- Coming from VFX - I think it is all down to speed and money. Producers want both, audience wants speed but fans want quality.mugwart
- This episode was mainly green screen. this takes time to build up a realistic world. The others would have been greenscreen in parts but shot outside. So ...mugwart
- ... easier to make 'better'. CGIs an amazing tool and mostly goes unnoticed but yes when it 'pop's it is frustrating as fuck.mugwart
- I've had no real contact with anyone on GoT since Season 1 so I do not know if this happens (read disclaimer) but a lot of directors/producers don't know whatmugwart
- they want - so VFX houses have to go through time consuming versions instead of trying to make the shot realisticmugwart
- for the record Id take bad CGI and have great writing and not the other way around. This shows writing "pop's" more than the dodge compsmugwart
- I liked the gritty storylines and fluid timelines from earlier. With or without CGI, it's turned into a popular TV show that has massive viewing figures.Ianbolton

****SPOILER ALERT*****
So what is that dragon spitting? Lightning? Can't really see breaking a giant ice wall with more ice. Would also explain why the undead only seem to have covered 50 miles or so the last 5 years, they just plain old didn't have a plan for getting past that wall.
Glad Littlefinger is finally gone, he's been a dead man for a while now. They genuinely had me worried that Sansa would fuck up again. Also, if jon and danaerys really trust Cersei, they're fucking stupid. That whole plan was mega-stupid from the get-go. "Let's show the lady with the zombie bodyguard a zombie, she'll totally fall all over herself omg omg" And is this as close as we'll get to Cleganebowl? The mountain still needs a good burning. Also, whatever happened to Varys, the spider? He's been completely toothless this season, he used to be a player on the level of littlefinger, now he's just a mopey fat mr clean in the background.
anyway, now we wait a year./******SPOILER***********

seriously? the wall, one dragon? ice against ice?!
- maybe lightning? minty fresh breath?Greedo
- the law of conservation of energy suggest all the dragons need tons of calories to sustain their size&fuel. we dont see the show address that either.plash
- magic.Greedo
- Everyone knows the way to melt ice is to add more ice...yuekit
- Minty fresh breath, lol!!!fyoucher1
- The graphics suggest that it was blue fire, there weren't shards of ice coming out of its mouth.zarkonite

If the undead army couldn't get past the wall without the dragon, does that mean there was nothing to worry about the whole time?
Man they really screwed that one up...
- ok_not_ok0
- oh fuck there's one more episode?? I thought the season was over!sarahfailin
- ice dragon would have been a fine way to end itsarahfailin
- wait, there's another episode? as in unaired S07E08?!plash
