Bananarchy

Sopranos ending aged well. This one will not. Best 6 seasons of any show ever and 2 seasons of complete trash. Biggest let down in television history.

I mean, that sucked but the rest of the last two seasons were so bad there was nothing really they could do.

Who cares? It's AAA. AA is where the $$$ is

Confirmation bias.

Good thing we're White Sox fans and we know better than the northsiders.

Most character development was either thrown out the window or arrested. Jon Snow, Sansa, Arya got the best of it. They're pretty much the same now as they were in season 6. Brienne, Jamie, and Daenerys were tossed and the result is pretty terrible.

Yeah, Daenerys throughout the show has compassion for the poor and downtrodden (and slaves) and a ruthlessness towards her enemies. This sudden change of character to killing everyone indiscriminately in King's Landing is not only staggering, it's also completely unbelievable. I think @bmags is probably right; the showrunners could have convinced more people of the authenticity of the change if they had more time. But here we are. Take a nuanced character, make her the Mad Queen.

Daenerys has been many things in this series. She's been impulsive, compassionate, and cold as ice. Has she ever done anything to indicate she's insane? (No, she hasn't). I can buy your "yeah, she has always been evil" argument, but you lose everyone when you say she's insane. She has no history of being insane.

Meh. Not sure why the other kingdoms would have any interest in Sansa over Jon Snow. A lot of people would have to die for that outcome to make any sense

If the writers have any talent left, Jon now realizes he needs to be king. Jon on the throne is the only ending which makes sense now

No. The best ending would have been for Daenerys to die in a battle with the night king or Cersei leaving a void for Jon to become king.

Too bad they shoehorned that in for seasons 7 and 8 because the writers are terrible

You should defend the Star Wars prequels next. They have the same poor character development in the final act. This may be the biggest tv letdown in history. Does it even matter what happens next week?

Great quote about it on twitter "I just wanna understand what was the point of Dany's arc? You want a mad Targaryen you had Viserys right there. Why would they let her grow from an abused girl, free slaves, help people for 7 seasons just to ruin her character in 2 eps? Disgusting."

Actually, it was. For about six seasons. There was a core of about 8 character who had full, developed story arcs. Then the show writers ran out of Martin material entirely and went completely off the reservation. It's all-time bad.

It's actually fairly basic storytelling. Moments after saying "Mercy is our strength" she kills tens of thousands for almost no reason at all. The creators have mutilated a great TV character in three episodes.

It's as though at the end of season 6 every Game of Thrones character but their role in the show in a hat and everyone took turns picking from it. 6 season of development wasted in 7 and 8. Massive disappointment beyond even Dexter.

This show is so horrible.

Good grief. Both teams should just agree to play baseball.

UI Health is University of Illinois, Jason...

Then

WGN

I want Tim Anderson to always be this good.

He definitely should be in right if he's in the outfield at all, but I could see DH or 1B as the plan going forward.
