I was on the side of defending the writing, like they know more than us, it'll work itself out etc. But after this last episode I can't defend the writing of this season anymore. That's what I meant by final straw.What do you mean by final straw?

Same. I was assuming a misdirection moment like they did building the Arya/Sansa tension but I don’t see it happening hereI was on the side of defending the writing, like they know more than us, it'll work itself out etc. But after this last episode I can't defend the writing of this season anymore.

What would be the point of reestablishing the night's watch? There is nothing to guard any more now that the white walkers are all gone (presumably). The wildlings are not somewhat friends with the North through Jon. There isn't anything to really watch anymore.
Maybe they'll send the Lannisters north of the wall and fill in the hole?
How does that even happen?I think Cersei becomes the Night Queen when she dies so that would be a reason for the Night's watch.
I'm not blinded by anything. I have posted criticism of several things from this season including the writing on this board. I can still put things in perspective and enjoy the show without whining like a spoiled brat.Rash overgeneralization of society because you're blinded by your memories of how the show used to be. Ignore the terrible writing all you want but this episode was the final straw for me.
How does that even happen?
I've been suspicious of her pregnancy from the get-go. But your fanfic version would be perfect karma!Someone stabs her in the heart with dragonglass under the Weir Tree in the Godswood of Kings Landing.
But I would absolutely love if she died giving birth to a dwarf. That would be my fanfic version. Though she might be faking the pregnancy altogether
As someone who bought and read all the books (although it's been so long ago that I can barely remember them), I can't for the life of me think of a single reason I'd buy another, if George releases one. The show has taken me in a whole different direction, and I'm not sure I'd want to invest any time in reading an alternative ending.
I think I'll be satisfied with how the show wraps up the story. Plus, I'm pissed George left us hanging.
This is where I'm at. I'd have to start over from book one to know what was really going on again. If he does ever finish them, ha! I might reread them in 20 years when I'm retired

Rewatching old episodes. This scene could be some forshadowing
No I think when Varys is talking about Tyrion getting his revenge on Cersei and how he may have to wait a long time that it's could be hinting at him killing her.You think he still has the sorcerer?
That's a shame, because in the books, Euron is a good character and the Direwolves actually matter

I don’t know Euron is pretty much the same. He’s had what 3 or 4 chapters total? Only real difference is you get to see inside his head.
Agreed, there are many plotlines and characters which didn't make the show or were butchered that I have a high interest in seeing their resolution. Plus the show doesn't have Patchface and Strong Belwas.
