Game of Thrones - mostly

[StCapps]

The time they did spend on Dorne was a complete waste, should have cut it out of the television show entirely. That is what comes of sticking too closely to the books.

It was not a complete waste. It was a very small amount of screen time, that pays off when Cercei gets Ellaria and her daughter into the caves. The revenge scene makes no sense without the context of what happened in Dorne.

Make up another way for their kid to get killed, a less boring way, that doesn't involve Dorne, the lame ass sandsnakes, or their mother.

I thought it was clever. I thoroughly enjoyed that revenge scene. Not as good as Septa Unella's troubles, but still good.

Not worth the wasted screen time spent on Dorne, they could have someone else kill the girl who wasnt from Dorne, and have a revenge scene involving them instead. Dorne was a complete waste.

Arya's time in Bravos, also a complete waste. Too many threads, diluting the focus on the parts of the story that are actually interesting, by trying to be too much like the novels, leads to the worst material on the show.

That, my dear, was a dungeon. And they have dragons. Need I say more? Fantasy and comic books take over, we are all living Revenge of the Nerds.

Way too much interest in world building and not enough interest in character development, that's GoT's problem. Game of Thrones can't seem to find the proper balance between the two with any consistency, due to the world building bias of Benioff and Weiss.

Season 7 didn't spend any time in Dorne. That was its Achilles' heel.

Would have been tricky, needed real pro writing, since everyone of note there was gone, dead or captive. Good idea though, them Sandsnakes were hot! In fact, Kings Landing should have been in Dorn, and there would have been a whole lot less clothing worn. The Dothraki also really had the fashion thing down. I've been seriously thinking of putting little bells in my beard.

Yeah, but it was also an excuse to show more of Bravos and Essos on the TV, equal parts character development and worldbuilding failure on the Arya tip. Taking detours to uninteresting places so that a character can be saved for the endgame, are both worldbuilding and character development failures, and the show does this way too much to stall until the ending.
