***WARNING Game of Thrones spoilers***
I’m on the last season (8) of my great Game of Thrones rewatch, 4 episodes left…..show holds up, so f’ing good.
I should have taken notes along the way. Too many awesome moments to remember.
Least favorite seasons 1 and 5…..1 had some greatness (and so does 5), but at times 1 seems clearly lower budget (I’m 100% sure it was). Dire wolves looked so bad….I feel like they could fix that issue with today’s effects technology and just make them bigger, more imposing as they should have been then.
Season 5, the Sparrow angle….hated it then, hate it now. Probably my personal distaste for religious fanaticism.
Otherwise just some great episodes throughout the series…..Battle of the Blackwater, Battle of the Bastards, dragon taking down the wall was sick. The episode where the Great War starts at Winterfell in is cool on so many levels, so many relationship come full circle I had forgotten the emotions they elicit. The somberness and dark mood, but also the incredible resolve you feel before is so thick you can cut it with a knife.
Tormund is so awesome and hilarious as a character, but there are just so many characters overall that were incredible, too many to name.
Probably my biggest beef was how much time was wasted on Daenerys freeing slaver cities and trudging around infighting with the Dothraki. Also traipsing around with Bran and that story booooored me mostly, but he comes full circle and his abilities blossom and he‘s invaluable.
The Long Night, season 8, high end movie quality stuff. Wow. (and 1:32 long)
