Benioff and Weiss
Am I the only one that feels like this series is a little similar to the final season of game of thrones? I really enjoyed this series (started the Amazon Prime series too) and wanted to love it but I feel like it just felt so rushed at points. Some things felt like plot holes like why did the San-Ti tell the world their plan when their plan was going so well? Why not just pick off all the scientists and make them go insane? If they can make Wade see a dead version of himself and that the plane is crashing should they really be worried about us?
I get that’s not how it is in the novels but how do you answer that in this universe? Also the plan to slice up the boat, didn’t they not want to use missiles because they could destroy the data? So you use the nano technology that slices through everything and even then the boat ends up exploding anyway? Lucky Mike Evans (you change all the names except for the WR on the Bucs) just held it to his chest and it didn’t get caught in the explosion, I guess. Also is anyone going to call out Auggie for giving out the thing that was just used to murder people to literally everyone? That’s a heroic act?
The show moves so incredibly fast. I thought I missed something after the San-Ti reveled their plan like how does the media know about the San-Ti and that they’re coming in 400 years? Did I miss when that became public knowledge?
It reminds me so much of GOT’s last season where everyone is just time traveling all over the map. Even the characters I’m supposed to believe Jin loves Will because of like two scenes? Auggie and Saul are supposed to be a thing I guess? I do enjoy how Saul is like “why me all I do is get high and bang chicks” you couldn’t give him one scene where he shows he’s great? Every character talks about how smart he is but I haven’t seen it lol
It sucks because it’s an awesome concept and Benioff and Weiss are really good at creating a spectacle with a lot of plot points but it seems like they want to “get to the good part” and kind of let us figure everything else out ourselves. I also could be very wrong about this and maybe there are good answers to all of my dumb questions.
