Yeah I'll wait on that...

TDoggs opinion is irrelevant, his idol burnt his own daughter alive and now roots for a psychopath that tortures his own family for fun...lol

 

[ksteezy]

Walt Sr. from Breaking Bad.

He was a dope character, but even he went through a phase where he was sort of a Douche

 

[ksteezy]

Jon is legit a real Cinderella story to the max

 

[Trey Bantz]

Fictional characters is such a wide spectrum. Are we talking strictly TV?

 

[tay1]

[Trey Bantz]

[a-friend]

I don't think it takes that much time to have one scene where, before the A Team go their separate ways after Dany rescues them, they acknowledge that they need to prepare for the WW invasion and they need to be ready for a possible dragon attack. You don't have to necessarily show the preparations but at least mention them. The NW were taken completely by surprise meanwhile they knew a dragon was left dead in the presence of a resurrecting supernatural entity and they knew the WW were marching south.
.

Yea I most definitely hear you.
I just don't think it's as simple as bad writing.
A simple edit for time constraints might have taken the scene you are invisioning completely off of the table, and out of the episode.
It might exist.
I doubt that the reason we didn't see it is because they don't have talented enough writers to address it, is all I'm saying.
I would bet a dollar that someone in the writers room said exactly what you are saying, and that they possibly even wrote and shot it, and just couldn't air it within the time constraints.

You know how much footage they have, that we never see?
Probably 15 seasons worth.
We only have 7 Seasons though, you know.

[Trey Bantz]

Ned walks into the Tower of Joy to rescue his sister, walks out with a newborn boy. You think he didn't ask Ned any questions on the ride home?

 

[masagipatron]

Howland Reed definitely knows, which could explain why he's been so elusive in the books and in the show.

 

[hand2handking]

#1 is HOMER SIMPSON....


You got it b

Awesome list, is awesome

what you got against homer fam?

 

[Master Zik]

Jon Snow not even top 25

Wow that was really delusional.

Snowblowers reminding me of the beehive.

 

[danger style]

Tyrion might still be the most popular character on GoT tbh, even with all the L's he took this season.

i thought this was a good observation: that the writers of the show had to work backwards from the ending that GRRM gave them: http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/game-of-thrones-has-finally-unleashed-the-apocalypse-1798541954

Speaking of inevitable moments that were delayed so long that some of the meaning was sapped away, let’s talk about Littlefinger’s death scene. As I’ve said before, Winterfell has definitely been the low point of Season 7. The conflict between the Stark sisters felt extremely contrived, especially with this fakeout as the end point; the showrunners have admitted that they conceived this plot backwards from the climax they wanted, and boy, does it ever show. It took so much transparent padding to get us here that it didn’t hit home quite as hard as it should have.

and in the comments:

Part of the problem I think is that D&D are writing the final 3 seasons with GRRM’s outline in hand, so they’re inevitably “writing backwards” from major events they want to either sync up to (assuming GRRM ever finishes another book) or fulfill on his behalf (in the more likely event he never does.) so the TV series has long lasting credibility.

any writers on here have any insight on this? it makes sense to me. adapting a book to the screen is already hard enough but it's doable. adapting a sparse plot outline and a rigid conclusion is even tougher. this is where a fixed number of episodes comes in. it's not whether the number of episodes is too low. it's that it's a fixed number.

knowing this, i feel like we're just going to be disappointed if we're looking for a perfect season 7 and 8. the plot is not going to be fleshed out as satisfyingly as we would like. that said, i feel like it'll be easier to enjoy the show if we just recognize it won't necessarily be perfect.

 

[Master Zik]

Tyrion is #7 on that list

Props to that boy Dinklage's rise.

EDIT

D&D suck.

 

[kvsm23vs24]

Al bundy has to be top 10 right?
I'm only talking tv characters
