Game of Thrones begins....

[grumbler]

Edmure was a turn coat, ultimately.

[grumbler]

They got our expectations quite high from the first 6 seasons. Seasons 7-8 became normal television fare, rushed yet boring, and full of plot holes you could drive a truck through.

I give season 8 a 5/10, purely because it was beautiful cinematography and decent acting with the scripts they were given. I don't care about "it's GRRM's ending". What was presented to us on screen was stupid and made no sense in the context of the world they had previously built.

The score was magnificent.  In fact, it is tough to chose between scoring and cinematography as the most outstanding feature of the series, but the first 25 minutes of the season 6 finale tips it in favor of the scoring.

[Razgovory]

It made sense to me, and it fit with the overall themes.

[Zoupa]

We get it Raz.

[Josquius]

The ending made sense.
The execution was awful and made it seem dumb.

Score and cinematography were truly great, yeah. They were outstanding amongst really excellent technical work, all the people behind the scenes earned their paychecks several times over.

With the exception of the writers.

And the ones who had to take care of removing coffee cups and water bottles.

Edmure was a turn coat, ultimately.

He surrendered his castle to the Frey and ordered the Blackfish to be captured.

[Grinning_Colossus]

I believe the alternative, as far as he knew, was having his baby catapulted over the walls followed by an assault or long siege that would have killed them all (and extirpated House Tully) anyway. Edmure didn't know that Jaime's conscience might have gotten the better of him or that Dany was about to invade, so it wasn't an unreasonable decision.

Your definition of turncoat needs some work.

[The Brain]

He murdered Caesar.

It has been fascinating listening to Ramin Djawadi grow and expand as a composer.  His work on Westworld has been magnificent as well.  A few thematic elements he tried out on Westworld seem to have emerged in Season 8's score, particularly the haunting piano dominated piece that accompanied the Night King's seeming victory during the Battle of Winterfell.

Not willingly.  You DO know what "turncoat" means, don't you?

H had some funny stories towards the beginning of the series about trying to sneak flute music into the score and how Benioff and Weiss always caught him (they didn't want flutes because they thought flute scores were associated in peoples' minds with the LOTR movies).
