Okay so I had to briefly come back so yall can read this.

The facts from this article (with proof) are that both HBO and GRRM wanted and supported GoT going on for much, much longer. GRRM wanted 13-episode seasons, and reportedly claims to have urged D&D to have approximately “11, 12, 13” seasons (and by implication, providing them with story beats to extend that long).

D&D, though, were adamant on only 7 seasons. They’ve claimed in the past that they made this choice out of concern for losing a cast member, either to health or an accident or to other projects. But the truth seems to be that s7 was around the time that they nailed down their Star Wars deal. So they wanted to end the series at s7 not for any plot related reasons and not out of concern for the cast (who all seem very sad to leave the show behind), but because they wanted to move on to a bigger and presumably higher-paying project.

So HBO offered them an unlimited number of seasons and a consistently high budget to film them (even offering them MORE money after s7), and GRRM supported this–one can assume with his assistance re: plot content. One HBO exec in particular said D&D wanting to leave when they did was “horrifying” to him. HBO did everything they could to sweeten the deal and keep D&D around longer, and they refused. They doubled down on wanting season 7 to be the end of it. If they 100% had it their way, the show would have ended after a probably 10-episode s7. Imagine that. Imagine getting to where they’ve brought the story now all in s7 alone! It’s … impossible. Even with the 13 episodes they have between s7 and s8, the plot has failed.

So the 13 episodes are not the result of there not being enough budget for dragon CGI. They aren’t the result of D&D’s supposed concern for the cast. They are a compromise HBO managed in their desperation to keep D&D around when they were ready to jump ship three years ago. At the most recent Emmy’s, GRRM clearly confirms that the reason the show is ending is because D&D “want a life.”

So based on the above facts I personally think that s8 is so aggressively bad because of spite. They’re angry that their consistently dedicated fanbase kept them at HBO for an additional two years. They’re still angry that the s7 leaks made them look inept and foolish. They’re basically trolling and punishing us with the worst written season in TV history, and they’re making their AMAZING cast and crew suffer along for the ride. They probably knew it was going to tank and they DON’T CARE. They’re about to have DISNEY money, after all.

If D&D wanted a life as GRRM said they did, why the hell would they pick Star Wars as their next project. That’s gonna be like almost the same amount of time when it’s all said and done.

“Have you calmed down?” “No.  I’m not calm.”

Was not expecting the misty eyes this scene would give me. You’re right it was everything

Do any of you have that one tv show that is just so close to your heart? Like you could watch all these other shows; but when you go back to that one, you just feel like you’ve stumbled your way home after being lost for a little while. Maybe the show ended years ago, maybe the show is still airing or is on hiatus, but no matter what the same holds true; when you see it, or talk about it, it feels like home.

Yeah but at least I feel safe and trusting with Rian as a writer/director just based on his previous films especially Brick and Looper and the work he did as director on in my opinion the two best episodes of Breaking Bad 51 and Ozymandias. He's just a good filmmaker and knows how to tell a story.

screamfan1234 replied to your post “If you want some quality entertainment regarding the Han Solo movie,…”

oh, that’s a relief to know tbh, but personally it made me go from “haha accurate” to “mmkay you know what fuck off”, because to the people watching that one video they don’t come off as sarcastic (unless they explicitly say so at the end, which they made me not want to watch)

If you really wanna see them go over the top, just watch the first three minutes of their Rogue One review

LOTR + The Office

You know you've watched the show too much when you can recognize what episodes some of these are from

I love Yoda at the end of the Return of the Jedi one with the Death Star, he's just like "Hello bitch, miss me did you?" 😂😂😂😂

Don't underestimate the power of dumb Star Wars fans, I mean look what they did for Rogue One........I'll admit it looked amazing but how anyone thought it was a good movie baffles me, they clearly didn't take those dreaded nostalgia glasses off

It's another BB style droid that's black and gray but I don't know it's name so I'm just calling it Evil BB-8

Why? Because Boba Fett gives fans a boner for some reason and will probably make a shit ton of money. I don’t get it and won’t see it if it happens. It’s crazy to believe that he was introduced in the Holiday Special, and was the only good thing to come from it.

Yeah, it’s insane. I only watched parts of the Holiday Special and definitely not his part, but it’s weird he stuck out of something everyone claims to want to forget.

I highly suggest you watch the whole cartoon from it, especially for Han Solo because he looks ridiculous and hilarious
