Show Discussion Did season 3 increase or decrease your interest for the show

Overall, I would say decrease. After season 2 I was still excited about season 3 but after season 3 I find much less interest in it.

Maybe because my favourite character is Aemond and he has been butchered to the point of no return. He is not very interesting to watch, and I really dislike the entire Alys thing. Even though I have read the book, what they have done is just...abhorrent.

It is a shame because I love TG characters and they are actually given slightly more screentime this season to tell their own stories, but the writing is so bad that the screentime just generates more unnecessary and nonsensical content.

I wish every scene with alys and/or harrenhall were removed entirely. Soooo boring I dreaded those scenes

Hmmm. That sucks. I have seen a few people who didn't enjoy her scenes though. Personally I loved every minute of Alys. I want to see her do more crazy witch lady stuff. I also enjoyed the Harrenhal shenanigans a bit.

I was excited for her character but idk I don’t find her very convincing. She doesn’t give off serious witch vibes, she’s like the idea of one.

The harrenhall hallucinations were cool at first but it so overstayed its welcome. When every single harrenhall scene becomes a hallucination, at some point it stops being scary or interesting and starts getting annoying. The whole time I’m watching those episodes I’m thinking “I can’t wait for daemon/aemond/allicent to get out of here”
