Okay, What The Hell Was That ‘Game Of Thrones’ Episode

Where do I even begin.

If you’re currently watching Game of Thrones then you’ve obviously been here for the previous seven seasons, so can we take a little stroll down memory lane for a second? Remember when Daenerys was The Breaker of Chains? Remember when Tyrion was always two steps ahead of everyone and was dependably smart? Remember when Arya went through that intense ‘a girl with many faces’ arc and became a calculated killing machine set on revenge? Remember how Jaime had grown a moral compass and his path had diverted drastically away from the one he had started on with Cersei? Remember when Cersei was the baddest bitch because she had lost absolutely everything and feared nothing?

Remember when thoughtfully developed character arcs and rich plots actually mattered?

Literally WHAT was the point of Jaime’s moral journey, Arya’s time with The Faceless Men, Cersei becoming the most hardened tyrant of the show, Daenerys liberating an entire continent and maintaining her values and loyalty to her people, Tyrion’s experience serving multiple rulers and ability to read the signs when things are going to shit, and basically everyone else’s arcs if they were all going to revert back to the same snivelling idiots they were in season one, or worse, devolve into even dumber versions of themselves? The only character they haven’t completely ruined is Sansa, because, well, she wasn’t on screen. But there’s still time.

But who needs good writing when you’ve got DRAGON FIRE and EXPLOSIONS and CLEGANEBOWL, RIGHT???

God.

This season of Game of Thrones is a calamity on par with The Red Wedding, and honestly I don’t even care who ends up on the iron throne anymore. I hope the Night King comes back somehow and kills everyone. I hope Drogon can suddenly speak in the finale and the whole episode is just him sitting down the remaining characters and telling them one by one what giant dumbasses they are. I hope the finale is literally just 90 minutes of watching Tormund and Ghost in the north cuddling next to a fire.

The only thing that’s comforting is that everyone seems to hate this season as much as I do.

We knew Dany was going to go crazy last night because in that early scene with Tyrion she was wearing no under eye concealer or lipstick, the universal sign that a woman is either about to go crazy or is just running errands and wants to be left alone (also crazy) — Erin Ryan (@morninggloria) May 13, 2019

we waited 8 years for cersei to be killed by a bunch of rocks? #gameofthrones pic.twitter.com/XoHT2mcAAx — Arman Singh Walia (@ArmanWalia) May 13, 2019

all that Cersei buildup and she died from poor infrastructure — Steadman™ (@AsteadWesley) May 13, 2019

*Stares directly at the camera*



When the show’s “Previously On” montage has to quote earlier seasons to remind you that Dany has a dark side right before she turns to the dark side, you did not do the dark side story correctly.#GoT #GameofThrones — Daniel Silvermint (@DSilvermint) May 13, 2019

D&D really threw away all of Jaime’s redemption arc, Dany’s whole protector of the innocent storyline, Arya’s faceless assassin skills, Bran’s 3 eyed raven abilities, and and all the hype around the golden company away in just one episode. Really?? #GameofThrones #GOTS8E5 pic.twitter.com/cOBBdODEAT — Natalie (@cerealbananas) May 13, 2019

me having breakfast this morning actually thinking jamie would kill cersei #gameofthrones pic.twitter.com/xMtaSQ6Vgx — c (@cmicheIIe) May 13, 2019

For like the 87th time, it’s not where the plot went, it’s HOW THEY GOT THERE. Dany can go crazy! Arya can give up revenge! But my god let these plotlines BREATHE.



I mean but also tossing Jaime’s entire redemption arc out the window was not great. OK, OK, I’m done now! — Louis Peitzman (@LouisPeitzman) May 13, 2019
