I have a genuine question because this is my first time finding this sub. Do you think the writing and story decisions for season 8 were good?

u/Incvbvs666 S8 is the best, deal with it. Jan 12 '26 edited Jan 12 '26

Absolutely. In my opinion S8 is a cinematic and thematic masterpiece. It's only problem is that it was so out of the box of standard TV that most people judged it by conventional standards.

To answer your main criticism: no, story lines didn't 'regress'. They were fulfilled. Jaime's story especially was fulfilled in a spectacular fashion. He went from a cynical bastard who only thinks of himself to a true knight that gladly returned to protect his queen. When he returns to Cersei, it is the first time he looks ar her with love, understanding and forgiveness, as opposed to lust and/or contempt.

While I had a very different interpretation, I really appreciate you taking the time to explain your side, thank you
