Very minor book info. I especially love them talking about Dany, and also about the show runners just skipping over the reveal of Jon's parents to his siblings/cousins, and the showrunners deciding to cut away, from a scene which has been the core of this story for so long, and we get....nothing. We don't even get to hear Jon tell them. ETA Their discussion of Dany is wonderful. That said, pretty sure they've read spoilers, and that may be influencing their discussion a bit.

Quote It’s easy to miss this fundamental narrative lane change and blame the series’ downturn on plain old bad writing by Benioff and Weiss—partly because they are genuinely bad at it. They didn’t just switch the explanatory dynamics of the story, they did a terrible job in the new lane as well. One could, for example, easily focus on the abundance of plot holes. The dragons, for example seem to switch between comic-book indestructible to vulnerable from one episode to another. And it was hard to keep a straight face when Jaime Lannister ended up on a tiny cove along a vast, vast shoreline at the exact moment the villain Euron Greyjoy swam to that very point from his sinking ship to confront him. How convenient! Quote For Benioff and Weiss, trying to continue what Game of Thrones had set out to do, tell a compelling sociological story, would be like trying to eat melting ice cream with a fork. Hollywood mostly knows how to tell psychological, individualized stories. They do not have the right tools for sociological stories, nor do they even seem to understand the job. To understand the narrative lane shift, let’s go back to a key question: Why did so many love Game of Thrones in the first place? What makes it stand out from so many other shows during an era critics call the Second Golden Age of Television because there are so many high-quality productions out there? 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/3352-game-of-thrones-in-the-media/page/17/#findComment-5304992
