@GregTBasta Tell me more. Is it because you invested almost a decade into a formative entertainment touchpoint of our generation only to be bashed over the head by heavy-handed references, clumsy plot devices and none of the nuance and character sense you originally loved? OR

@GregTBasta Is it because you expected more out of the story as “new way same as the old way,” aka “this story didn’t need to be told because it literally changed nothing about how this world is governed or structured” OR

@GregTBasta Is it because of the horrible editing and timing issues, Re: how did Greyworm beat Jon to the castle and woah when did Sansa get here oh wait it’s been weeks? OR

@GregTBasta Is it because you just can’t bring yourself to believe that Greyworm, a liberated former slave, would let a bunch of rich assholes talk amongst themselves about who gets to rule next, and then agrees to their decision, instead of wiping them all out with Unsullied? /deepbreath

@GregTBasta I have more but I have to tend to my child now. Clearly I’m not going to be over this for quite a long time #TeamNightKing

@GregTBasta Also @traceyecorder called Arya ‘Christina Columbus” and I fell over #GameOfThrones #got

@GregTBasta Good morning. Is it because they had the audacity to give Tyrion a soliloquy on the importance of stories (and why did Greyworm let him talk?) and then gave the crown to the story they straight up ignored and then botched for like 5 seasons? #GameOfThrones #stillmad

@GregTBasta Is it because despite the push for plot over character that the showrunners insisted on these last two seasons, there’s not one plot device you can point to that had a real impact in how the story ended?

@GregTBasta They even had the nerve to throw the fact that nothing was going to change in our collective face with that “Don’t be an idiot Samwell, the plutocracy is the only thing that makes sense” garbage.

@GregTBasta Greyworm: Lannister soldiers are my queen’s enemy and must be murdered immediately

Also Greyworm: Jon murdered my queen in cold blood and I will let him live indefinitely

@GregTBasta And where were all these still-alive Dothraki in the Battle of Winterfell?Literally all of them were wiped out until they weren't? (sorry Greg you're in this for the long haul now I'm too far gone to start a new thread)
