It ranks above season 7, though, because the pace generally isn't as discombobulating and its key moments generally more satisfying. The final season was like structurally like season 7, in that it was predominantly injured by its pace but kept alive by its key moments. Over a million people signed a petition to have it remade, but maybe the backlash was inevitable. Season 8 is possibly the most polarizing season in all of Game of Thrones. An interesting roadblock, but still just a roadblock. The High Sparrow was just a roadblock for Cersei. Plus, there was the anticipated return of Hot Pie.īest bits: Arya comes home, Littlefinger dies, Jon meets Daenerys, Jon and Theon, Jaime Lannister finally bails on Cersei. Jon's exoneration of Theon Greyjoy and the Stark sisters' commemorating Ned Stark were inspiring, and the whole White Walker dragon thing set the stakes high. Arya Stark's Winterfell return, the death of Littlefinger and Jon meeting Daenerys for the first time are scenes to be YouTubed for years to come. Characters travel to and from Winterfell, Dragonstone, The Wall or King's Landing in a scene or two, when previously such journeys would take at least an episode and often most of a season. The season is notorious for playing loose with time and space. The problem is the whole season was essentially one moment after another. Season 7, broadcast a whole lifetime ago in 2017, had some of terrific moments. It probably goes without saying, and maybe it doesn't even matter anymore, but Game of Thrones spoilers below.ĭaenerys Targaryen and Jon Snow in season 7.Ī bad Game of Thrones season is still good TV. Game of Thrones is pretty darn great even at the worst of times.
Most of the criticisms below come from holding the show to a high standard and comparing Game of Thrones against itself. Someone is bound to spill the truth about the Lennon lie again.With the story completed (fret not, a prequel and a play are on the way), and with two years of distance from the finale, we can go back and analyze which of its chapters were the best and which were the worst.Ī note: Somebody has to come last in every race.
If the truth ever comes out, Lyla and the police should look back to this moment as to when they messed it up.Īnd the mystery will no doubt come up again. The Wai Huna police department is sloppy they should've done a complete examination of "Allison's" body when it washed up. I can only imagine the terrible things that you two did that made her take her sister’s identity. Why didn't she check other photos? Do fingerprint testing? Look back at notes taken over the dead body? However, my problem with her investigation was that she only relied on two photos to make the final decision. The question of the Lennon lie ran throughout "Your Next Life Could Be So Much Happier." Lyla following up on Dylan's tip showed promise because she took her job seriously and checked in on things. He only believed the theory because he felt betrayed by Allison. Everyone in town saw them on the beach they couldn't slip away to kill. The Harold and Officer Doug deaths on I Know What You Did Last Summer Season 1 Episode 5 couldn't have been them as they had alibis during "Allison's" memorial. If he had taken a step back and thought it out, he would've realized Allison and Bruce weren't the killers. A chance at redemption in the next life.ĭylan: I helped prepare her for the prophecy.ĭylan confronting a visibly scared Allison only added more to the long list of reasons he could be the killer. You need to tell the truth and then I can help set you free.ĭylan: It’s what she wanted.
But the worst was him sneaking into Allison's house yet another time.ĭylan: I came to give you another chance. Having "Lennon's" computer, the arctic spiders, and Riley's severed arm all painted a bad picture. Margot had him wrapped around her finger let's not forget that hours before their team-up, she tried to convince Allison that Dylan was the killer. His backup plan of framing Allison for the murders was only going to blow up in his face.
