[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 8437680, member: 5889"] You are absolutely right. Now in the show they don't do as good a job at showing that, there are hints....but its a lot more muted, still there are hints of it. So again the idea that she ultimately "goes bad" is reasonable, and watching that journey would be an exciting one to see. But that's not what happens. She literally just "goes nuts", and just destroys everything at the moment of her greatest victory.... which is completely unprecedented. In every other case on the show, at any point she does something that's "going dark", there is always a justifiable reason for it. A debatable reason mind you, but a reason none the less. But at the end....no, just goes off the deep end, in a way that makes 0% sense. She heels turns in a way that would make Pro Wrestlers blush. If the writers had shown that journey slowly over time, I could have absolutely bought it. But again this is the issue with the rush job of Season 8. They didn't have the time to make that journey (and by that I mean the screenrunners decided to end it quickly, HBO was begging them to make it longer), so instead of doing something mid way that could have worked for the character they presented on the show, they just "force it to happen"....and the end result is shoddy and stupid. So back to my original point, its not that the plot points of Season 8 are "bad", its how they manifested is what is so terrible. [/QUOTE]
