RE: 6 Reasons Why Game of Thrones is falling apart in the latest season
Like always I am the least critical person in the universe and just think that the season is a great 10/10 despite any of these plot holes you mentioned. Just too short, way too short. I missed an episode of the epicness of Battle of the Bastards. Apparantly that was the reason for making season 7 shorter: to have more fights like that.
What I don't get is that talk and the link about the sex scene between Daenerys and Jon. All I have seen was him entering her room and the door closing.
It was made shorter i heard, because of the huge salaries of the stars as well. They were paid per episode. OH? did you see a cut version perhaps? They were doing it, quite rushed i would say. They were just staring at one another for the previous episodes then boom
Ah right, it happened during the Bran speech of Jon's true heritage. I didn't pay attention to the visuals and concentrated on the voice.
I don't think it was rushed. Every single conversation they had was sparkling energy. The way Jon behaved throughout the entire season made Daenerys step by step fall in love with him. I think it was well done. Jon didn't show much affection until before he went to north of the wall and particularly when he got wounded. The speech to Cercei sealed the deal and she knew it was him. They had their final talk in the dragon pit where they were standing super close and full of affection for each other. The final scene of them with Jon knocking on her door was indeed a bit rushed but on the other hand it was done with style and didn't feel out of place at all. By then they had already discovered each other which was evident through all that happened.
Well as far as medieval romance goes, that may be it. Still, you can't help but think this is what the fans wanted, two souls never meeting since Season 1, finally cross. Hostile at first, then starts to fall in love. This is a common plot line in most stories and that's called "Boy Meets Girl"
They were teased from the beginning, by Davos to Jon, then by Missandei to Dany. A lot of scenes were kind of forced, like the scene where Jon came back from the North, Dany waiting for him on the wall, Dany waiting on him to get well in the cabin.
If those scenes somewhat make you shriek for joy, then that's what the producers wanted at the expense of the story as a whole. Love cheapens, and I got that from an interview from a certain Japanese animator when asked why his characters doesn't have love interests.
There's a term, we use in our country, it's rough translation would be a Mexican soap opera, combined with fantasy and that is what GOT is becoming.
Haha, I guess you are right. I was indeed pleased about that whole thing. So much that all my buttons where pushed. Not just by the two of them meeting but by all these ruinions in this season. It was a list of many finally! moments.
By the way, I also wrote an article about GoT but in a way that you probably don't expect. Check it out although I assume you don't need it considering the level of nerdness you radiate. ;)

oh for sure! will check. many thanks! :)
My "finally" moments were the reunion of Jon and Sansa, and probably the first meeting of Dany and Jon. Both of which you can attribute as fan service but at that point it wasn't as glaring
