How y’all argue over California music and not talk about The Eagles?

Also Game of Thrones ruled. The ending was satisfying.

I know that when I think of the great TV shows throughout history, the ending I always look for is “satisfying”.

The Wire is widely considered the greatest series ever and the entire final season is regarded as the worst of the series.

Breaking Bad and Mad Men were both also kind of a mess at the end.

Too bad the last thread got deleted, otherwise you could’ve joined my therapy group for people who loved Game of Thrones (warts and all) from beginning to end. I think Billy, God rest his soul, was a member.

I thought the ending of Breaking Bad was perfect.

@Mr. Hoopah!, you’re going to have to rename the thread Evil Empire or these tasteless hacks are going to take away all the cred you’ve built up. 

But you named it Tres Hombres first, so it’s probably too late.

I never understood why people got so bent out of shape with the GOT ending. It was foreshadowed from the very first season.

I preached for years that Dany’s vision of the Iron Throne covered in snow in the House of the Undying in S2 showed us exactly how it was going to end.

I went with a Florida band instead.

And all this talk of bands but no love for Deep Purple?  All of you are...

For me, the problem wasn’t the plot itself.  I had no issue with that.  The problem was that the last season was so rushed that it became terrible storytelling.

Imagine reading The Lord of the Rings trilogy.  You get to “Return of the King” and the last 1/4th of the book is just an outline for how the story ends.  Like literally just a series of bullet points telling the plot ending.  That’s what that last season of GoT was to me.

The entire series had its rushed moments. There were several cases of characters going from the Wall to King's Landing in 1/4 of an episode at times and taking most of a season at other times. 

It's just what happens when you try to serialize such a vast epic in 7-13 episodes a season.

Looks like Trump is going to fire another inspector general this Friday...

The Department of Homeland Security inspector general is undertaking two new investigations into the department's response to the coronavirus outbreak due to concerns that federal agencies mismanaged the pandemic.  

The government watchdog is examining management of the Covid-19 response at Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities, related to detainees in their custody and to the staff, according to the inspector general.

This coronavirus-related investigation — as well as one into the Federal Emergency Management Agency, a component of DHS — are listed as "new" on the inspector general's list of ongoing investigations.

Then don’t try to cram it all into 7 seasons.  The showrunners were tired of doing the show.  Fine, they could have handed it off to someone else and spent another 1-2 seasons telling the ending of the story.  

The timing and pacing of the first three seasons was perfect.  Just brilliant story telling.  So it wasn’t that they couldn’t tell the story properly.  It’s that they were looking over at Disney and probably thinking, “let’s wrap this up now and see ya’ wouldn’t wanna be ya’”.

Your closing argument today should’ve just been to quote Ænima, in which one of the great California bands spend the entire song talking about how much the state sucks and how they pray it will fall into the ocean and kill everyone.

I liked where everyone ultimately ended up, but the execution.....if it had been any other show it would have been fine

I'm still laughing at Tyrion unilaterally giving Bran the title of "sucks at walking" to his kingly honors
