So... The Golden Company huh? Funniest scene of the season seeing the entire company destroyed in like 10 seconds. Except for the horse, which survives, somehow, and apparently runs into the burning city instead of away from it One of the reviewers i watch pointed out this is just another in he list of stuff the show builds up and fails to deliver on - the NK, prophecies, the GC The useless and respawning armies have been one of the funniest running gags of the season. The Dothraki have been wiped out like three times. It's just so lazy.  |

So... The Golden Company huh? I thought maybe they were going to have them turn on Cersei (Despite Dany being a Targ and not a Blackfyre but that's more book than show stuff anyway) when the battle was looking lost, but nah - let's just throw them in for a 'YAAS QUEEN moment'. |

The uselessness of the GC makes the scenes with the Iron Bank guy kind of pointless.

I'm starting to have the feeling that D&D are giving GOT the worst ending possible out of spite. They wanted to end the show so they could move on to SW and resent the fans and HBO and GRRM for wanting more episodes and their answer was to shat on seasons of character development and plot just to have the last laugh.
And if that's the case, I hope the finale of GOT causes such an uproar that Disney breaks their contracts and they lose the trilogy, which is based on KOTOR and deserves to be treated with respect.

Come on guys, the abrupt demise of the Golden Company was such obvious setup. Almost an entire group of people - a family even - are wiped out in Westeros, whilst the desperate remnants of the group hide away across the narrow sea for decades, with an entire series building up to their return and conquest; we've seen this story before! I'm extremely surprised nobody else has caught on. This was clearly the setup for the sequel series: |

Saw a meme earlier with “the real reason Cersei wanted those elephants” and an image of elephants spraying water on a burning kings landing. |

I'm just thinking about shows that were suddenly canceled and the writers had to come up with a rushed ending to wrap everything up in a few episodes because they literally had no more time, and how D&D actually had full support from HBO to give GoT the ending it deserved but refused so they can move on to SW, and I just get so upset they didn't appreciate the gift they were given. Like, if I were the showrunners from Rome I would be banging on D&D's door to punch them in the face. Oh why did they have to cancelled Rome.  |

This is the Arya I wanted:  The Direwolves are one of the biggest bastardizations of the show. I know in my heart George has greater things in store for them. |

This would be Rickon had they survived Lol. Considering D&D and more than happy to kind of forget about characters (Edmure, Ellaria, Yara, Robyn, etc) I'm annoyed at how they brought Rickon and Shaggy Dog back just to kill them. You want to make us hate Ramsay more and make us feel something over their deaths? Okay, but you have to develop them, not ignore them for three seasons. |

Well Rickon’s direwolf is literally named Shaggydog which usually meant a plot amounts to nothing. So figured Rickon’s fate will be similar in the book with those cannibals and unicorn at the island.

Maybe there's still hope that Bran warged a dragon.  |

Hard to use words to describe how much this show has changed. GOT became iconic because its complex characters drove the plot. You were shocked when you saw the red wedding or the origins of Hodor but you could trace it back to its origins. I'm not going to be extreme and have a huge go at this show because the truth is I'm saddened by its current path. Now we have characters being forced to fit within a plot, character development tossed aside as if it meant nothing.
