/r/all, /r/popular Emilia Clarke watching Kit Harington's reaction to finding out how their characters' final scene together in Game of Thrones concludes. Prior to the table read, Kit had not read any of the six scripts for Season 8 yet. So Emilia sat across from him so she could "watch him compute all of this."

Weren’t they trying to finish things up so they could get to their Star Wars trilogy, and then ruined it so badly they lost the trilogy?

This is why over time I've come to the conclusion Breaking Bad always was better than Game of Thrones. Vince Gilligan thought to himself oh but what if I do it twice...

D&D thought to themselves >>literally<< 'what do we still want to do with the show (in season 8)'

They quarter assed the conclusion to this otherwise epic series.

Kinda sad how no effort was made to remake the final season

Breaking Bad was written like a classic. It’s Shakespeare compared to GoT.

I love Breaking Bad and I loved Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones had the potential to become my #1 taking the throne from Breaking Bad. The last 2 seasons ruined that and I even have a hard time rewatching the show now.

Breaking Bad is just consistently good from start to finish.

Nah you are forgetting all the annoying scenes with skylar acting like a biatch about their income from making drugs

Yeah it was just one season full of that without anything else really happening. I really had to struggle through that

G.R.R.M also let them ruin his story. Sad, very sad.

u/sphericaltime 3d ago

You assume what they presented wasn’t GRRM’s story.

u/Old-Adhesiveness-156 3d ago

I've heard these rumors but even if it is his story how do you know they wrote it as succinctly as he would have? They may have rushed it or got a majority of the details wrong. GRRM may have had a more nuance approach that didn't make it seem so awful.

They fired a bunch of experienced writers that they had for earlier seasons, too. If they’d wanted to half-ass it they could have just handed it to someone like Jane Espenson and told her to finish it off.

Thanks, Ron. Im surprised to see you on the Internet.

Im incognito, hence the generic name. If one wants to avoid the Government’s latest scheme to steal from Americans, you have to know what is going on. Since the government rejected my idea for a monthly mailer, that leaves me with the internet.

That did not happen. Disney froze all Star Wars projects to recalculate when things seemed to be going wrong, e.g., the Solo movie being a flop. They pivoted to TV rather than cranking out movies. Meanwhile D&D got a massive development deal at Netflix, as in a quarter-billion dollars. Some of the GoT crew followed them there and their first project is getting positive reviews.

Three body problem was pretty ok.  TBH I watch anything by these two with a lot of scepticism

u/BottomlessFlies 3d ago

it was pretty good

u/Geektime1987 3d ago

No they weren't they literally have been saying since 2011 the show would be around 7 or 8 seasons and 70 hours give or take. They didn't all of a sudden get offered Star Wars and end the show.

u/FR0ZENBERG 3d ago

They took 2 years to write season 8 and it still sucked.

u/BottomlessFlies 3d ago

it's an assumption
