  Peter Dinklage, while delivering the &quot;And who has a better story than Bran the Broken&quot; line: &quot;I&apos;m just going to look into the distance, think really hard about my paycheck, and everything will be OK.&quot;

  My favourite thing ever is the Game of Thrones Season 8 table read. All these brilliant actors who probably could have written a better ending (barring some exceptions) looking absolutely HORRIFIED while D&amp;D revel in their own &apos;brilliance&apos;. Nothing will beat Emilia Clarke literally sliding down her chair while trying to hide her upset and Conleth Hill just openly fucking hating the script as Lena Headey grieves silently.

  The writers for the podcast The Magnus Archives said it best, I think: you should have some people who guess it perfectly, some people who get most of it, and some people who have no clue what&apos;s going on. Your big reveals have to be earned, they have to be built to. If literally no one could ever possibly see it coming, you failed.

  Seeing a quote from so-called &apos;writers&apos; saying that themes are only for homework in school is deeply upsetting. That&apos;s like hearing a so-called doctor go &apos;Pff, a sterile operation room is not that important! We&apos;ll be fine!&apos;

  The point of a twist is to enrich a story, not to feel superior for outsmarting your audience.

  &quot;The ending was, in fairness, foreshadowed by other things being bad.&quot;<br>Officer, I&apos;d like to report a murder.

  I feel really bad for the actors here too. They brought their A game to this show and dedicated long years to it. Imagine being Lena Headey and putting all of that effort into Cersai only to get crushed by a rock. Awful.

  Gravity Falls actually had the right idea when it came to fans guessing the twist. There were a ton of people that guessed that Grunkle Stan had a twin brother who was the author of the journals, but the show went ahead and did it anyway. After the reveal the creator Alex Hirsch pretty much congratulated the fans on guessing the twist since it was a show that pretty much encouraged fans to theorize. I think that&apos;s the way to go. Fans guessing a twist isn&apos;t the worst thing in the world. If the story is well crated enough, people should be able to read spoilers and still enjoy it.

  Actually thinking about it now, changing a twist because reddit found out about it can even be cruel.<br>Its like if your kid found out where you hid the christmas presents and then on christmas day you surprise them by giving a cheap last minute gift.<br><br><br>It dosen&apos;t make you smarter than your kid it just makes you a bad parent.

  Seems like a similar problem that BBC Sherlock had, where the writers were actively contemptuous of and always wanted to be more clever than the fans
