HBO: Game of Thrones (Song of Ice and Fire)

[Simple Torture]

Regarding the travel complaint, I rewatched the series for a 3rd time before the start of season 8, and throughout there has been some questionable / inconsistent travel times. Maybe not as bad as s7, but throughout there have been some example of people getting places either very fast or slowly. Long story short, season 7's time to travel gripes aren't as bad as people make them out to be.

the worst one in Season 7 had to be the opening of (I believe it was) the last episode where bronn and jamie are standing on the ramparts of casterly rock looking down on the unsullied, and literally the next scene cut to bronn walking in to the dragon pits at kings landing where he sees tyrion for the first time. it was just so weird.

You mean Kings Landing?

Wasn't it Highgarden?

i think it was highgarden.

i just couldn't understand it. there was absolutely no segue. it was almost as if they cut a scene out between the two.

Didn't they get attacked by a dragon in between?

mecca's right. i just read a recap. they were on the walls in kings landing, not north. and so that makes more sense.

i'll shut up. carry on.

Our confusion highlights how jumbled/rushed the latter half of season 7 was.

[epilogue]

I didn't think about it the in real time. It was only on my rewatch that it confused me. And I think it's only because of where we leave off in 6, going immediately into 7.

Ironically, S8E1 is getting blasted for taking too much time and doing too much place-setting, and yet that's the opposite of the what we're talking about here with S7.

Can we just get to the dragon-fucking already?

durden is right as far as reddit goes. Lot's of people complaining about pacing. Mostly in reference to the wasted screen time that was how to train your dragon + date night, and Bran knowing all but staying largely tight-lipped. Time is of the essence, start talking Branno!

[Monkey_Driven]

Reddit's always complaining though.

[Ello Sailor]

True enough.

[Monkey_Driven]

Especially about this show.

[Revelator]

I rather enjoyed S8E1, lots of great fan service without feeling too forced.

Spoiler: show

Think my favorite scene was the reuniting of Jon and Arya as well as Jaime's first look at Bran

Wholeheartedly agree on S7's sloppiness, my least favorite season so far (after a strong season 6). Episode 6 (I think) where they go beyond the wall to capture one of the dead was the worst episode of the series by far IMO.

For sure.

Wait, the one where they get trapped on the island in the lake or whatever? You guys hated that one?
