A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

There were probably people with terminal illnesses holding on so they could catch the finale of their most-beloved TV show, Game of Thrones, and who died horribly disappointed. (lemmy.world)

I would have said that at s8e2

After episode 4 I would have squeezed my IV shut myself

s8e2 was one of the best episodes of the series. I don't know how the same team could make that episode and the rest of the season.

Though I'll give the finale props for the scene with Breinne writing down Jamie's accomplishments. That was an excellent moment in an otherwise bad ending.

Its Been a while but s8e2 was the dark episode where it was just blackness with some moving shadows and light points, right? I was in a dark room, at night, with my TV at brightness 100 and I could still not make out wtf was going on.

Then after a modified (super charged gamma and brightness) i could see what happened and it was even worse. The tactics used were so mind-blowingly dumb that a 5 year old must have thought them up

In any case, bold claim to make that ANY espisode in s8 was better than any other episode in the entire show

That was episode 3. Episode 2 was the one that took place the night before and was basically a gathering of all these characters from 8 years of television who had never been together interacting the night before a battle.
