This is a different kind of video for me. It’s less of a writing lesson than it is a reading lesson, or even a living lesson. It’s me working through the familiar feeling of frustration I’ve felt in the past when watching a beloved story decline before reaching the end, and an exercise for getting around that.
So yeah, lets talk about Game of Thrones season seven.

Hey guys! So if you feel the same way about the show as I do, let me know how you would change it! Share your "fan fictions" below.
-
A more enjoyable ending would have been the Night King killing everyone and sitting on the Iron Throne drinking and iced latte from Starbucks.
-
Season 7: "I'm the worst season" Season 8: "Hold my coffee cup"
-
"They defeated Satan and I’m supposed to care who gets elected President afterwards..” GoT for y'all
-
Ayra goes west, Dragon goes east, John goes north, The show goes south.
-
Holy shit I thought this was from last night's episode. Nope, it's a two years old video that still sums up the whole GoT experience lately. Good call.
-
the reason why Tyrion, Little finger and Varris are ruined now is simple, they are too smart and for the show writers to write for, all the finer details like growing consequences, geography and time have been lost because the writers are either incentivised to streamline the plot and make it more of a spectacle, sacrificing nuance, or they are just not competent enough
-
Comment 2017: Agree, the writing got pretty bad. 2019: LOL, we knew nothing back then
-
S7: Titanic sinks S8: Titanic forgot how to sink, so it actually didnt sink. Then Euron comes and 3 shots it.
-
And you thought season 7 was bad 😂
-
The show has convinced me to go and read the books because I need George's ending to this story
-
This guy saw it coming.
-
I agree 100% No character consistency. A hurried plot. A brilliant show ruined. Heartbreak. And yes season 7 was pathetic and it's only got worse this season.
-
I guess we will watch this video every monday until the series end. Episode 3 and 4 sealed the fate of the show, unfortunetly for worse.
-
It hurts even more when you hear George R.R Martin saying "there's enough material for 13 seasons", The pacing of the 5th book alone is just perfect for 2 seasons.
-
When you realize the Titanic is a near perfect metaphor for Game of Thrones... a large and beautiful ship that sailed beautifully until the captain believed nothing could ever happen to his ship and hands it to D&D who get distracted like the two sailors who got distracted by Jack and Rose kissing, resulting in the ship crashing into an iceberg ... if only GGR Martian finished his story first, maybe it wouldn't be so bad today 😞
-
The show died the moment they ran out of book story to adapt, it's sad.
-
Oh, we like this actor or actress so lets change everything important about their behavior to keep them around. My biggest GOT pet peeve.
-
The drop in quality since they no longer have GRRM's writing propping them up is really noticeable.
-
Dude, wait till season 8 episode 5. Character arcs go flying out the window like there's no tomorrow.
