Ok, then we're back to 'you're taking it too seriously'. And please don't call me a liar. This is a ridiculous conversation

"Who are you laughing at precisely?"
"Grrr you are taking it too seriously (and show us up)"
Mocking people is fun. Just dont lie about it.

^^^^Interesting. Do you distinguish from those who feel it has become too narrative incoherent to remain with their disbelief suspended and have had something of a gestalt shift in that respect? And those who think that the use of magic as a consistent "fantasy technology" broke down this season, it became nothing but a deus ex machina to ramp up and down as per plot needs rather than maintaining a coherent presence? GRRM famously has a "soft magic" system, one of the illustrating examples of it (Sanderson and GRRM are pretty good mates) but even soft magic systems have to be consistent if they are to be used for plot resolution (i.e. the wild swings in dragons abilities).
Obviously its a world of opinions and theories you might say, each to their own! I was just curious about how you seen your comment fitting into the wider discussion.
such pompous grandiosity is worthy of derision.

Mocking is not the same thing as gloating

No worries my little friend. I have been derided for much of my life.
Its really no skin of my nose. But I asked the originator to be clearer on who they were deriding, or mocking but apparently not gloating. We would not want that term used now would we
.And I take it "grandiosity" is not pompous, when someone like you uses it.

Funny old world. For all the years I have posted on these threads its only since I asked you to clarify who you were mocking that "over thinking" became a thing.
Enjoy yourself. You have one day left, those of us who can read books have decades yet before GRRM gives us an ending.

If you're going to try and use basic literacy as evidence of your superior intellect you might want to use better proof than poorly written tripe like Martin's.

I didn't try to mock anyone. And for the record I even managed to read all of the books. Twat.

I don't see that as mocking & I stand by my observation. Did you sign the petition to have S8 remade

Yep, they're worth a read. Long way from the main series really but they're no big investment and if you're looking to fill a gap they'll do the job.

She had to die, for the way she delivered those final lines.
Jesus, this is weak, so far. Bran as king? Everyone showing up in KL. About 1/3 a season of story told in 60 minutes, over half of which have been without dialogue. With People doing stuff that is inconsistent and out of character.

It was going okay until the final Dany scene. Utter shite since then and far to rushed. The Bran scene is utter cringe.

They subverted my expectation that the ending would at least not be a pile of unmitigated shite.
This episode makes the entire rest of the season look like high art by comparison.

It was laughably bad. The final montage was okay, mainly because it reminded you of why you liked the books/films in the first place.
