Disappointed to Feeling Almost Nothing At All
Have a Theory? Share It Now!
I had planned to watch each episode of this final season with a bottle of wine and a box of tissues and weep as I said goodbye to these characters. So it is difficult to express how disappointed it is to almost be feeling nothing at all. Which kind of sounds ridiculous, since we’re talking about a television show – talk about a first-world problem!
As a viewer, I feel disrespected in this final season. I feel disrespected as I listen to Weiss, Benioff, and the directors make justifications and excuses for the poor decisions that they made. I feel disrespected by ridiculous dialogue and unnecessary plot armor. I feel disrespected because they stopped caring enough to even notice a coffee cup in plain sight or that Jaime’s hand regenerated. And I feel disrespected because when offered the time and money to do it right, Weiss and Benioff said: “no, thanks.”
I would love to be surprised and satisfied with the final episode, but I’m certainly not holding my breath.
I would like to recognize that the casting for this show was phenomenal. There were just a handful of weak links along the way, but the primaries and secondaries have been brilliant, and it has been a joy to watch them. And watching all these kids grow up has been a pleasure. At some point, I’m sure I’ll binge it again, and maybe with enough time, it won’t leave such a sour taste.
Thanks for letting the pod be a therapy session for us all! Keep up the good work!

Yeah you have to have acceptance going in. It’s pretty clear you don’t, and that’s ok. You’re just not going to be happy until you reach that point. Disrespected is a strong word. Seeing as none of the people involved owe you any respect. They can’t control you and vice versa. All they can do is put the best item out there that they can do, WITH THE TIME ALLOTTED. It takes some concessions on you’re part, because really you owe them, they don’t owe you. That’s the reality. You’re prolly not going to like my choice in words, and that’s ok too. But it’s the reality. Come back when you don’t feel disrespected and come at it with a clear mind. Then you’ll be much happier I’ll bet. But good luck enjoying something you already have decided you won’t enjoy.
