May 19th 2019

That shit was weird.
May 19th 2019

      Also, by then, people knew Jon was a Targaryen.
May 20th 2019

May 19th 2019

May 19th 2019

      Starks are basically known for being honorable and good.
May 19th 2019
31
      We just finishing arguing that Jon should be the king of everything...
May 19th 2019
48
      Jon... not Wheel Chair Raven
May 20th 2019
215
      Starks rule everything...is that 'breaking the wheel'...?
May 20th 2019
217
           The character who thought the wheel could be broken...
May 20th 2019
225
           Right...and the armies that bent the knee and pledged allegiance to her
May 20th 2019
241
                Nobody in Westeros pledged to Dany because they wanted to.
May 20th 2019
249
                     Dorne did it because, fuck Cersei

May 19th 2019

Ghost shoulda been "How ya like me now?"
May 19th 2019
12
should've bit his face off
May 19th 2019
25
      Ghost knew he'd be back.
May 19th 2019
26
           still inexcusable on Jon's part!
May 20th 2019
242
I liked it
May 19th 2019
13
its morose...sad as fuck
May 19th 2019
15
      I'm convinced any other end would have made people upset.
May 19th 2019
21
           RE: I'm convinced any other end would have made people upset.
May 19th 2019
23
           that would have been a good ending scene
May 20th 2019
116
so dragons understand symbolic representations of power now?
May 19th 2019
16
Well, they are supernatural beings.
May 19th 2019
20
I'm not buying it
May 19th 2019
24
      it has Cercei's and them scent on it
May 19th 2019
28
      Jon's a Targaryan. They dont kill their own. Makes sense.
May 19th 2019
36
           I'm trying to remember from the books...ancient Targ history?
May 19th 2019
44
                I believe this was the Blackfyre Rebellion
May 20th 2019
71
                yea *nods head*
May 20th 2019
75
                     The only thing I can’t recall is if dragons were still around
May 20th 2019
77
                          there is another precedent, the Targs got run out of Old Valyria
May 20th 2019
78
                I read he knew the Throne killed his mom, not Jon
May 20th 2019

I understand that drogon is as smart as any person

      His mom has been talking about that shit for like ten years non-stop
May 20th 2019
90
      LOL
May 20th 2019
168
      He saw the pointy thing sticking out of his mom's corpse
May 20th 2019
94
           also pointy things killed his brothers. Makes sense.
May 20th 2019
112
           this makes sense
May 20th 2019
213
           Wait...what?
May 20th 2019
216
                they weren't next to his mom's dead body
May 20th 2019
239
                None of those were sticking out of Mom's corpse, though
May 21st 2019

The whole thing wasn't melted.
May 19th 2019

I know that but still
May 19th 2019
32
is the night's watch still needed?
May 19th 2019
33

May 19th 2019
35
      Well apparently now...
May 19th 2019

      No. Everyone knew but GreyWorm

Season was aight. Finale was great as it could have been.
May 19th 2019
34
finale was by the numbers.
May 19th 2019
56
      Pretty much. I guarantee HBO learned their lesson
May 20th 2019
91
Garbage In Garbage Out
May 19th 2019
40
imo still quite a few loose threads
May 19th 2019
42
There's so much stupid stuff that just has to be handwaved
May 20th 2019
72
all of this^^^
May 20th 2019
103
Eh, they don't owe us the answers to everything.
May 20th 2019
118
yes but we need more answers than what they gave us
May 20th 2019
178
      Eh, I disagree....
May 20th 2019
219
           Yeah, they often go wrong when they try to give too many answers.
May 20th 2019
232
i think the ending set up sequels pretty well
May 20th 2019

The Westerosi with Disabilities Act is about to pop off

I would have actually been really annoyed if it had happened, though.
May 19th 2019
51
the laugh down was funny
May 19th 2019
53
Even Sansa was like
May 19th 2019

unc was like "oh thank god you said that dumb shit so everyone forgets
May 19th 2019

Shit, for a sec I thought your Robin prediction would be true

It always bother Jon broke his oath to the watch guard.
May 19th 2019
49
Just that he gets to live among the free folk like Tormund suggested
May 19th 2019
59
King Beyond The Wall.
May 20th 2019
83
how did he break his oath?
May 24th 2019
323
Who inherits Tarth now?
May 19th 2019
52
This is why this show is so good
May 20th 2019
80
Tarth is btw Essos and Westoros
May 20th 2019
181
there is a reason Jamie Lannister was her first and last
May 20th 2019
238
Shot out to Lord Robin Schwimmer
May 19th 2019
54
Between him and Tormund, they really made the case against giving
May 20th 2019
165
i liked most of the final episode...
May 19th 2019
57
I mean, I didn't **hate** it, but they didn't do a lot of right
May 19th 2019
58
it's just like Lost. the finale was...ok I guess
May 19th 2019
61
For me, it was mostly kinda dull
May 19th 2019
63
      I saw a fan theory today,
May 19th 2019
66
           Ha, yeah I'm glad that they didn't go that direction
May 19th 2019
67
Them dudes deciding to shorten two seasons hurt the story.
May 20th 2019
84
      Unquestionably
May 20th 2019
99
bran owes millions to the iron bank for the golden company
May 20th 2019
68
I thought it was implied last season that Cersei paid off the debt?
May 20th 2019
69
This is correct, Cersei paid off the debts to the Iron Bank
May 20th 2019
70
      naw she paid off the debt to the iron bank, then borrowed again
May 20th 2019
73
           I'm pretty sure at least!
May 20th 2019
74
           I thought she used the Highgarden money to do both
May 20th 2019
76
Bran doesn't owe shit.
May 20th 2019
121
Besides, a day in the Braavos casino,
May 20th 2019
131
bran is biff and his almanac
May 20th 2019
174
naw that was the Crown debt
May 20th 2019
186
I dont see why Bran would inherit the debt
May 20th 2019
157
      Cersei borrowed the money as Queen, representative of the realm
May 20th 2019
183
           Robert talked about being in debt to Tywin
May 20th 2019
211
I had a feeling Jon was going North of the wall
May 20th 2019
79
It is what it is
May 20th 2019
82
Feel same as after Ep4. Great episode, missing 1.5 seasons of build up
May 20th 2019
85
Crazy
May 20th 2019

Ned Stark won the game in the end. Fuck Cersei

May 20th 2019
93
He spent all that time in Walder Frey's dungeon
May 20th 2019
101
I thought he was about to nominate Sansa and she was like...:
May 20th 2019
104
Sansa: sit down
May 20th 2019
107
Edmure lol that shit was too funny
May 20th 2019
136
When Sansa said "We're staying independent"
May 20th 2019
97
they just wanted peace for once
May 20th 2019
100
Right, who would have complained if she wanted independence?
May 20th 2019
113
they had already said their Ayes, but
May 20th 2019
122
As Sam demonstrated, change is hard is Westeros
May 20th 2019
123
Ha, TWO people had plastic water bottles under their chairs
May 20th 2019
102
I feel like this shit is on purpose
May 20th 2019
108
I was thinking about security too, with Jon up north and Arya where ever...
May 20th 2019
105
Some people really can't accept this blonde white woman being a villain....
May 20th 2019
106
Are people saying that about Viserys' death?
May 20th 2019
110
Reading that thread made my head hurt
May 20th 2019
114
Exactly to all that lol
May 20th 2019
132
i dont see her as a villain. she was never just the 100% pure good perso...
May 20th 2019
129
when Jon walked into the gate and the gate closed to a black screen...
May 20th 2019
109
i liked the final episode
May 20th 2019
117
right, most people outside of Winterfell don't even know who the hell...
May 20th 2019
119
Outside of Tyrion and Sam, who even knows Bran's story?
May 20th 2019
124
Presumably the whole of the North and their bannermen.
May 20th 2019
127
      but he's not their king.
May 20th 2019
140
I feel like they settled on Bran, because, like, who else?
May 20th 2019
125
The more that I think about it, Gendry would have been the right choice
May 20th 2019
134
      tyrion did say that the bloodline didnt matter anymore
May 20th 2019
135
      The outcome reflects the Starks newfound power in Westeros
May 20th 2019
138
      I get that it's the end that they wanted. That Ned's way won out...
May 20th 2019
200
           Bran is the King because he is a Stark
May 20th 2019
236
      I love Gendry, but I woulda been disappointed by that.
May 20th 2019
139
      I'm not even arguing that Gendry ***should*** have been the king
May 20th 2019
191
           It definitely would've been more convincing if they'd just dissolved the...
May 20th 2019
201
      Maybe not king, but I wouldn't have minded him killing Dany
May 20th 2019
161
I liked the last episode
May 20th 2019
126
they disrespected tf outta bran lol
May 20th 2019
137
      trash move, but that's good*
May 20th 2019
143
      lmao
May 20th 2019
146
      Never liked that broad
May 20th 2019
148
      am I wrong in saying I don't trust her as Queen?
May 20th 2019
204
      lmao
May 20th 2019
179
      lol yup
May 20th 2019
203

      REVENGE for "You looked so beautiful on your wedding night"
May 21st 2019
261
           sounds like convos from a philippino christmas party i went to
May 21st 2019
263
What was the narrative point of the "Jon is the true king!" revelation?
May 20th 2019
128
yeah I felt like we spent so much time with that
May 20th 2019
133
Great point
May 20th 2019
141
The narrative point of Jon being the true king was all about Dany.
May 20th 2019
147
I'll never forget how i felt at the end of Season 6
May 20th 2019
149
      But all that happened.
May 20th 2019
189
my initial reaction: lmmfao
May 20th 2019
142
Lol@ Inkast Lannister
May 20th 2019
151
don't forget he was a GOD OF EGYPT
May 20th 2019
158
SHE LOOKED JUST LIKE BEYONCE!
May 20th 2019
198
i feel like the whole Brienne/Jame & Arya/Gendry sex story lines were...
May 20th 2019
156
they both made sense
May 20th 2019
160
I'm dead.
May 21st 2019
278
What's the consensus on the prequels, spinoffs, etc...
May 20th 2019
144
Would watch an Arya/Hound sitcom
May 20th 2019
153
def watching
May 20th 2019
159
Only thing that really bugged me was that Danys fall took about 8 minute...
May 20th 2019
145
As much as I've been defending the show,
May 20th 2019
150
Yeah, pretty much all the right things happen
May 20th 2019
154
yes
May 20th 2019
180
I'm still trying to figure out where all those Dothraki came from lol
May 20th 2019
152
      I think it would be foolish to send all your Troops to fight the dead
May 20th 2019
162
      Oh, and there's no way they're not terrorizing the hell out of
May 20th 2019
164
           King's Landing has fallen, let there be peace on earth
May 20th 2019
170
           Right? i mean who's gonna stop them?
May 20th 2019
210
so I'll never know what Bran was doing during the ice zombie battle
May 20th 2019
155
I thought he went to check on where the NK was at the time?
May 20th 2019
163
maybe... but did he do anything with that info? or just watching?
May 20th 2019
166
      he probably went to go creep on some chick changing
May 20th 2019
167
           warging so he can sit on the window sill of a brothel and chill out
May 20th 2019
171
                He's probably not into watching people fuck from windowsills, though.
May 20th 2019
173
                you guys are hilarious I haven't laughed this hard in a while thanks!
May 20th 2019
177
                Fair point. He can fly now, though. So it's all gravy
May 20th 2019
182
                Would you warg just to WATCH though? Just saying.
May 20th 2019
remember how they spent like 5 minutes on arya with a white horse
May 20th 2019
169
      the only thing about that, is I was fully checked out at that point
May 20th 2019
172
      do you think they had explanations and even shoots explaining
May 20th 2019
175
           I can't call it. Time crunch? Short cuts? Didn't think about it?
May 20th 2019
184
                it's just such a weird thing to spend time on in the first place
May 20th 2019
193
      Yeah, that was disappointing.
May 20th 2019
176
      ^^^^^^^^^^^
May 20th 2019
188
      SYMBOLISM!
May 20th 2019
185
What a fucking joke
May 20th 2019
187
Did folks really want an Avengers style battle scene between Dany and Jo...
May 20th 2019
190
what
May 20th 2019
192
"a bunch of people on twitter say..."
May 20th 2019
206
i think there should have been a scene of jon trying to enter
May 20th 2019
194
yeah its crazy that one minute she was surrounded by this huge army...
May 20th 2019
220
And that Job had to relinquish his weapons before seeing Tyrion a prison...
May 21st 2019
280
      right lol...
May 23rd 2019
319
That's an interesting strwaman that you've created.
May 20th 2019
195
Sorry, I wasn't just talking about here.
May 20th 2019
199
      Ha. Okay, fair enough
May 20th 2019
205
           I defended this season but the last episode was weak
May 20th 2019
214
                It did followed the template for most of the season finales tho
May 20th 2019
245
No?
May 20th 2019
196
The battles didn't come close to the epics that were advertised
May 20th 2019
202
      I think the NK Battle was just as epic as any battle we have seen....
May 20th 2019
229
i'll always believe that cleganebowl was useless
May 20th 2019
197
notice how as soon as they ran out of book,
May 20th 2019
207
damn you're right
May 20th 2019
208
      he was fucking Hand of the Queen if he wanted some pussy i'm sure he...
May 20th 2019
235
I never took the Hound's not fucking as being because he COULDN'T
May 20th 2019
209
I think you are over thinking the Hound
May 20th 2019
212
^^^this^^^
May 20th 2019
223
pretty much
May 20th 2019
233
what about the pointless inserted romantic life for Arya and Brienne?
May 20th 2019
221
So I bet HBO offers Masie Williams big money to do a spin-off
May 20th 2019
218
she's been playing that character since she was 14 I'm sure she wants...
May 20th 2019
222
Hence the "offer her big money" part
May 20th 2019
224
we'll see but I think any spin-offs if any will be done with totally...
May 20th 2019
230
True. But they could do an older Arya...
May 20th 2019
226
      The only confirmed one is The Long Night, 1,000 years prior to GoT
May 20th 2019
254
are they could do a 20 minute short where she just asks Bran

I can see bargaining because you didnt want them to execute him. But them dudes had no Dragons anymore and Westeros should have said "sike bitch he's the True King" get lost." His smile at the end made it worth it though. Dude had no interest in being King and was glad to see the wall close. He just wanted a life of peace. Now he has it.

96. "Also, by then, people knew Jon was a Targaryen."
In response to Reply # 5


          

It would have taken a lot more convincing to get everyone to accept Aegon Targaryen as the just and rightful ruler right after Danaerys scorched that many innocent people. Even though they knew Jon did her in for it.

Also, Theon's sister still wanted Jon's head just for being a queenslayer.

If someone insisted on Jon ruling, there woulda been more wars, even without the Unsullied and Dothraki.

and he didn't even want to take on that responsibility

you think he wanted to stick around after he's killed his 2nd lover?

Unsullied were in control of the city and they didn't have a plan at the time they "punished" him

both the unsullied and Jon needed to just get away

And as someone above mentioned. There is no way they'd accept another Targaryen after what just happened. And with a Dragon still on the loose

Everyone laughed at the Democracy idea. Seems they believe in Kings and Queens. If the Targaryans once ruled everything, why not the Starks who did it with honor??

moral of the story, you drink titty milk you survive anything.

If a fat guy falls in the woods and there is no one around to see it, do the trees laugh?

I'm glad its over. It was amazing. but I'm satisfied. To me end end of it was when Drogon flew off, the rest was what happens after. Felt like Lord of the Rings.

I'm not mad. I enjoyed it.

I actually love the supernatural aspect of the show, but there's been no building to this point. Somehow Drogon knew not kill the person that actually killed his "mom", but knew to destroy the chair? They gotta give me more character building for me to believe it.

At some point it was like brother against brother? A civil war for the throne I thought and the dragons fought against each other? There is a precedent set for internal dragon battles, but off the top of my head I can't remember it.

If I recall, before the Doom happened the Targaryens were run out of Old Valyria by the other dragon families using dragons. Then the Doom happened and the Targaryens ended up being the only family left with dragons.

If it was about pointy things...Jon had his Valyrian steel sword longclaw on his hip when he killed her

Burning the iron throne because it's made out of pointy things doesn't hold based on the fact that Jon had Longclaw on his hip

Jon going North is cool.
Sansa being Queen of the North is cool.
Not sure how I feel about Bran being King, I mean is he even a human?
Sorry Dragon Queen, your crazy ass had to go.
I do like the new group of advisors.

Not really sure how I feel about it, but the last two seasons, this show didn’t really hit me like it used to. If we ever see the last two books I think they will be better. Things definitely felt rushed in the end, they probably could have done two more seasons.

If show-runners want to go off and do movies, they have to give the show up to someone else to finish instead of trying to rush it. Them dudes got Star Wars because of Game Of Thrones, and then shit on Game Of Thrones to do Star Wars

What's going on with the Dothraki, both those left in Westoros and those back in Essos? If the Westoros Dothraki go back across the Narrow Sea, is there going to be like a civil war? Do they go back to Khals or are they influenced by Westerosi culture? Does the culture shift due to the imbalance of genders? (there's gotta be a lot more women than men left at this point)

Really what's the purpose of the Night's Watch now? To guard against the 100 wildlings left? lol these fools are basically border patrol now, checking for stolen bear pelts and shit.

If I'm the Iron Islands, and I see the North is independent, why wouldn't I want to be independent too? In fact Dorne too. Like at this point, what keeps the entire country from splintering after one section leaves the kingdom?

Still think Arya should have been assassinated by the Faceless Men.

If I'm Drogon I go to Old Valryia, get my strength up, and come back to Westoros and burn everything, I'm going buckwild now with no 'parent' to control me.

If I'm Bran, I think I seriously consider moving my seat of power to another area. King's Landing, in my opinion, is way too toxic and the cost to rebuild would be too great. Let's start anew.

Fookin' Bron as the Lord of the Highgarden, you think Imma listen to a sellsword? Fuckkkk no, get him out the paint.

So really, what's going in Dorne? There's gotta be some sorta civil war going on, right? Where's the rest of the Sand Snakes? I don't see the people being happy that multiple members of the royal family were killed, both internally and externally.

Slaver's Bay - Do the masters take over again? What's gonna keep them from reverting back to slavery now that Dany's army and dragons are gone?

Interesting point. I was thinking that too. Where did the Dothraki even go? Settling in Kings Landing? Raiding the countryside? Maybe some or all of them took off with the Unsullied. But I don't think the show owes us the answer to what happens to Dothraki culture down the line.

And we'll probably

True, but even Tyrion said, there's always gotta be somewhere to send broken and lost men. And for real, how many people really know about the Night King and everything that happened outside of the North? For all Dorne and Highgarden know, maybe they still need that shit. Either way, still useful for dumping people.

Good point. But the North has always been independent. Only instead of having a warden, they have a Queen and are more officially their own thing.

True. But then again I wonder if he ever really got Highgarden? He wasn't at the gathering where they chose the king was he? Cause Highgarden would be represented there. Maybe he took Master of Coin instead? I gotta go back and look again.

Uh, all the sand snakes got murked. I know the books says there were 8, but I think certain things between the book and show are held to be seperate. But who knows. And the show was never focused on Dorne. Can't say I care too much about their royal shennanigans.

I think them cats beeeen took shit back. Like as soon as Dany got on the boat. But again, they don't owe us the forever history of every place in the show.

IMO they do. Dany was shaped by her time with the Dothraki both as a person and as a leader, so at a very minimum they can do us the respect of showing the changes a post-Dany world looks like for the Dothraki. Additionally, both the show and books have been terrible towards the characters of color. It'd be nice to have some sense of
self realization that they need to do better by the non-white characters and pay at least one Essosi ethnic group some respect.

The House of Black and White imo is too powerful to let Arya infiltrate them, learn their secrets and fighting styles, then let her live after it is been very clearly showcased that the many faced god is owed a debt. The Faceless Men have a monopoly on a certain type of assassin for hire, and what's to stop Arya from going out and starting her own guild of killers? From a business perspective, Arya has stolen trade secrets and can potential undermine their business.

If Dragon is really as smart as they say, why wouldn't he come back and wreck havoc? At this point all human's look like prey, and he is a powerful predator.

He was given both Highgarden and MAster of Coin. At the Small Council meeting Tyrion called out his titles and asked of the crown had fulfilled his debt to him.

True, the Sand Snakes were more tumorous in the books, but why spend an entire season there just for it to go nowhere? It doesn't have to be open-ended, but this is basically a whole ass country who's going on is up in the air.

I agree with the slavers taking over again immediately, but this was a major part of Dany's arc. The whole situation speaks to george martin's intention in writing the book, that is you have these heros making this grand gestures, winning the battles, but there's always the after. Robert won the crown, and was a terrible king for the realm. Dany freed the slaves, and it would be my guess that the slaves ended up worse than where they started. But we need to see it, wee what happens in a post liberation situation.

As with everything, it's not just winning the battles that count, but it's the long term effects that win will have.

Yeah but a story has to actually end at some point. And if they did this, it just would have been some montage-y corniness. I think how she was shaped by the Dothraki came out in who she became, so we got that. But a whole visual dissertation on post-Khaleesi Dothraki customs and social upheaval would just be out of place since we haven't seen Essos in a number of years, and nothing happening there now is part of the story that's being followed.


>It's a waste then. Just build a big ass prison if you need to
>crime deterrent, don't have these fools out in the cold
>fighting squirrels and shit for no reason.

Maybe so, but keep in mind the war JUST ended. And most people probably weren't even aware of the threat. They haven't figured it out yet and most likely won't for some time. And a flash forward showing what they do with the wall for the next 100 is pointless. Save it for the inevitable spin-off show.

Yeah, but nah. They evidently have dudes running around in the wild anyways. That's how Arya met Jaquen Haquar (or whatever his name was) in the first place. It's probably not how they're run. How you gonna be the premier assassins and they all live under one roof. Gotta have peeps across the world to do business and recruit folks too. And Arya didn't really infiltrate them. She joined. They knew why she joined. Her purpose wasn't hidden. Breaking her down was one of the first things they did. It's really not the same as a 20th century business. Bammas ain't franchising assassinations.


>If Dragon is really as smart as they say, why wouldn't he come
>back and wreck havoc? At this point all human's look like
>prey, and he is a powerful predator.

eh. He's also a Dragon. While he showed blips of intelligence, he's a dragon. Can't assign human motivations to him. Plus he saw his brothers get taken out. Without a pilot like Dany, he might might get murked jive quick once more scorpions get built. I just think it's more likely he's gonna do some wild animal shit cause that's what he is. He'll hunt, eat and survive.

I think we know as much as we need to about Dorne. They got a new ruler after the others got murked. Their service to the main story in Kings Landing is complete. Shit, we don't know what's going on a River Run, the Towers after the Freys died or the Aerie after ole boy lost his mama's titties to suck on. I just think some things just are what they are, and at some point a story gotta end. And none of these are maddeningly dangling open threads that change the outcome or give it any more flavor.

Dany freed the

Yeah, I think we saw the after already. Or as much of it as we will see in this show. She freed them slaves and left 2-3 seasons ago. It would just be odd to jump back there and see what's happening when none of the characters we care about are there or being affected by what's going on there.

The easy, pat answers make people mad.

The unbelievable, unexpected answers make people mad.

People got into this show because it has a big world, big mythology, and all kinds of possibilities to imagine.

Let people use their imaginations about where a few things end up.

they could choose to follow one or two of those characters and show what happens. it would make more sense that its a time jump with different actors.

52. "Who inherits Tarth now?"
In response to Reply # 0


          

I don't see Brienne becoming Kingsguard without some line of succession for her island. She's her father's last living child, so who will take over as Lord on Tarth once he dies? Kingsguard can't marry or sire children I thought.

You are worried about Tarth. Even people who live in Westeros don’t give a shit about Tarth.

In response to Reply # 80


          

If the slavers attack, which imo they have a solid justification to do so, you want some sort of first line of defense on the island against the invaders. Tarth has the potential to be important, and if you're trying to shape the country for the future, you have to look at all the angles.

Beyond that, I love Brienne and want to see more of story lol.

I will say that Jon living in the true north among the free folk was the right decision (and one that I called). Got to live the rest of his life with his direwolf, as neither a Stark or a Targaryen.

I guess Arya striking out on her own made sense to. She needed to move beyond being a servant of death.

They had to offer some hope, because last episode was about characters not changing at all. And Martin, believe or not, is not a nihillist.

Most of the rest was just kind of dumb. Not offensively dumb, but just anti-climactic.

66. "I saw a fan theory today,"
In response to Reply # 63


          

that Dany didn't mean to burn down the city, that Drogon was out of control because Bran had warged into him, and Bran had actually been under the control of the Night King ever since he'd been touched.

That could have set up a more interesting ending (and been more in keeping with the global warming analogy), but it also would have made people mad all over again.

I'm happy with how they ended it, though. This episode could never have been truly satisfying, but it ended up making me smile.

As much as I'm not a fan of what the D&D have been up to this season, a lot of the fan theories are awful.

And I do believe that they need to end it on a largely positive note, after the unrelenting grimness of the past few episodes.

As someone said, it turned out to be just kind of an episode of television. I guess that's better than swinging and missing big time.

In response to Reply # 0
Mon May-20-19 12:07 AM by shygurl

          

aka the most useless sellwords in the history of fighting. To be honest, btw the debt to the iron bank, the debt to the lannisters (I guess Tyrion did eventually inherit casterly rock by default), the cost of repairing king's landing, and the general wartime debt I'm positive the crown must have accumulated, who would even want to sit on the throne? I can't imagine trying to get out of the gigantic cavern of debt the crown has.

In response to Reply # 68


  

          

With everything they took from Highgarden? They paid what they owed and still had enough to hire the Gold Company.

That's why I thought they were going to have the Iron Bank back Dany. But another plot thread left danglling.

And paid for the Golden Company with the money they got when they took High Garden last season.

So Bran doesn’t owe anything to the Iron Bank.

She used that Highgarden money to pay off the Iron Bank debt, then immediately borrowed more money to pay for the golden company.

Pay off existing debt and then buy the Golden Company but I could be wrong on that second one. Maybe she did take a new loan out to get the Golden Company.

B. The Highgarden heist paid the debts and paid for the Golden Company. and

C. At the very end, I beleive Bronn, the master of coin basically said the realm is pretty good money wise at the moment, so I don't believe they gonna have a lien on the Red Keep anytime soon.

The Lannister mines ran dry years ago, so why would the Iron Bank extend that type of money to them? This was the Queen's debt with the realm as the cosigner.

Highgarden heist paid the old debts, not the new debts. https://youtu.be/qX04wQ4PN0k?t=161

lolllll there is no way a country just got out of what, four years of fighting and wars and didn't incur massive amounts of debt. I don't know if there are any historical precedent where a government or country fights a war and didn't end up with a shitload of debt.

So i figured this is an extension of all that. Robert owes Tywin, Tywin owes the Iron bank, Joffrey, Tommen, Cersei take over.

At every individual moment I was having a good time and nodding my head (Tyrion, you killllllllllllllled it last night!) but if I hadn't been obsessively reading about super fan theories and listening to Binge Mode all month the Bran thing would've thrown me off a fucking cliff man.


Again, I had a good time, but it is WILD that HBO allowed the showrunners to sabotage this whole thing by throwing their hands in the air, cutting corners on their homework and Aunt Beckying their way into Star Wars in the process.

All i can think is HBO is known for not butting in and they let their artists do things on their own terms. Thats an amazing thing and why HBO has an amazing track record. I dont think they bet on the creators fucking doing a Cliff's Notes version just so they can dip out and do Star Wars. Those assholes should have let someone else finish the show with the time it needed

97. "When Sansa said "We're staying independent""
In response to Reply # 0
Mon May-20-19 08:14 AM by Marauder21

  

          

how did everyone else not just go "well then, us too?" Especially Yara, the whole reason she got involved in this to begin with was independence for the Iron Islands. It was the only part of the Seven Kingdoms that Dany agreed to let be independent, and every Ironborn (whether they were Team Euron or Team Yara) was following someone who called themselves a king or queen of the Iron Islands.

But they're all just going to be cool with bending the knee to King Robot Boy The Bland? Because he "has a good story?"

Also, why not just make the Riverlands a kingdom, so you can still call it the Seven Kingdoms?

they've been fighting war after war after war

they literally didn't give a fuck bc it was a return to normalcy anyway

most of those places had to kneel to a king to the south or a king to a north so that was a moment of them knowing their place and wanting shit to end

the fight against the dead was enough to leave the north to be the north

In response to Reply # 97


  

          

Number one, the North being independent was pretty much semantics anyways. Like they said, the North has been pretty much independent for thousands of years anyway.

Secondly, you see how they all reacted to Sam's suggestion of having democracy. I think the Lords and Ladies present just wanted the kingdoms to stay the kingdoms.

Plus they just finished one big ass war for ruling status. They all go independent, that's possibly six more fucking wars to fight to determine six more rulers and their status. Fuck that.

apparently Brienne and Podrick are staying with Bran in King's Landing, we all know how cutthroat that place can be and the history of Stark men in the south. And I don't trust Tyrion's ass as far as I could throw him.

Also at Winterfell who has Sansa's back now? Y'all know her haughty ass has a tendency to rub people the wrong way.

My favorite part of this season is watching all the Dany fans that thought this was strictly some sort of feminist show attempt to either justify her actions or ignore evidence in order to point out why they did her character wrong. Tyrion killed Shae because she lied to get him executed, fucked his dad, and (as the twitter person conveniently forgot) was reaching for a fucking dagger to attack him. It wasnt just because she didnt love him.

THAT is where the episode should have ended. It would have been a neat poetic ending.

They lost me when they just kept going and going and going and explaining the ends of all stories. No need to tell us or show us, it was already said.

What a shit show. I loved it but the last two seasons just lost the plot.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

until i gave it a little bit of thought lol

what happened was cool, the endings folks got. it was just done in such a cheap way. lazy writing for sure. pace was all off.

i do wonder how much of this will line up with the books. i read last night that GRRM only gave them three things that will be in the final books. shireen dying, hodors name and some unnamed twist.

the thing that bugged me the most was bran being proclaimed king. not because he shouldnt be but i just dont believe he made any sort of connection with anyone that would justify their support.

lots of connecting the dots needed so it makes sense.

Bran is.

Yet their suppossed to accept him as their king? With what army? I'm sure Sansa took all her people back North. Greyworm and the Unsullied killed everybody else then sailed away. What happens with the Dothraki even though they made it look like they almost all died against the White Walkers lol

You saw that collection of lords of Westeros' nobile families in the arena. Were any of them "rule the realm" material? And picking Sansa would have gone against her entire character arc. So, if there ***has**** to be a king, than Bran? I guess?

It was the most underwhelming point of the finale. They kind of boxed themselves into a corner there.

In response to Reply # 117


  

          

At least of those assembled. He was the son of one of the previous Kings, so he has the most legit ties to the Baratheon line. Which is pretty much how Robert became King in the first place (he had a distant relative that was a Targaryen). And if we’re counting “stories,” he is pretty good too: former blacksmith who help fight off the White Walkers bothe beyond the Wall and in Westeros? That is also a better story than most.

138. "The outcome reflects the Starks newfound power in Westeros"
In response to Reply # 134


  

          

They won the North and they have won the South. Jon is the most popular person in Westeros and killer of a tyrant. If Jon crowned himself a lot of people would have gone for it and fought with him. Shit same if Sansa declared herself the queen of Westeros.

But even better than taking the throne for themselves offer a new way forward with their new found power that isn't a power grab. They declare independence for the North, take power everywhere else for now and do away with the hereditary throne. It's an outcome everyone can get behind who doesn't want any more war.


I think what Bran represents is wiping the slate clean of Targyrens, Baretheons, Lannisters and putting a new system in place that breaks the wheel and is more fair...it also reflects that the Starks were running shit by the end.

Ned Won.

In response to Reply # 200


  

          

Jon is problematic having killed Dany and Sansa's primary interest is Northern Independence.

He got the role not because he is the most charismatic or popular among the Lords, he got it because he is the least threat to the lords and the less likely to lead to another war.

In response to Reply # 134


          


It would have felt too much like we were ending up right where we started.

It's been a while since I watched season 1, but I remember a lot of talk, from Robert and others, about how there was no reason for him to be King. He was skilled at winning battles and fighting in wars, but he didn't care at all about what his job was now. He thought it was tedious, and it had nothing to do with how he got there or how he wanted to live his life.

Cersei failed because she wanted too much power. Robert was failing because he wanted too much independence from responsibilities. It's kinda trite, but all that stuff with Bran "not desiring anything" was set up just for this. Bran was the one person in Westeros who could just see it as just a job.

In response to Reply # 139


  

          

I'm just saying I have a pretty much impossible time buying that those particular characters gathered there at that particular time would pick Bran to be King. And Tyrion's logic for picking him is pretty faulty. Those leaders of noble houses would pick the bonafide war hero of the kid who fell out of a window and became an all-seeing tree person (which most people wouldn't buy anyway).

It's another of the litany of examples that have been populating these posts of the writers have an end in mind, then reverse engineering it to make it happen.

Just turn it into seven independent kingdoms.

Even though I was aware of the leaks, I thought they'd end up being a misdirect --- that the kingdoms would separate, King's Landing would just be left a ruin and a memorial to the folly of war, and Bran would go north with Jon and live under a tree.

He's the only one there (along with Davos) who actually grew up in King's Landing. Those were his people being BBQ'd last week. If he wouldn't have gone on that dumbass voyage to capture a wight last season, he probably would have been burned to death with the others.

Still think they did a shit job trying to cram everything into 5 episodes. The biggest miss for me was the romance between Jon and Dany. They fucked on a boat once.

Not sure about King Bran.

She has too much Cersei and Littlefinger in her in my opinion. Now I will grant she has the best background to successfully run a country, (esp as compared to Bronn, Gendry, and Robin) but she's sneaky and shady. She would really need somebody to balance her out, make her less isolationist and more trustful.

128. "What was the narrative point of the "Jon is the true king!" revelation?"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Like, in the end, how did it impact the story? Drive a "wedge" between him and Dany? Allow it to be something that Tyrion can guilt him with to kill Dany? Those beats could have been exactly the same if he was just "Jon Snow, honorable bastard son of honorable man Ned Stark."

Only way it really affected the story was providing a means to kill Varys.

only to, I guess, make him pretty much the only person who can kill a king due to him being the "rightful" king?

Grey Worm seemed like a character the scribbled out at the end, which was weird and we still don't know why the fuck the Night King did a damn thing.

141. "Great point"
In response to Reply # 128


  

          

It absolutely had no effect on the plot

...and now that I think about it...

How is Jon being a Targaryn even a secret

MFers watched him fly on a dragon...but nobody could figure out he had dragon blood...?

I felt like after he was brought back from the dead

everybody was following him like he was a king

And that was pretty much the evolution of his character

He would do the right thing for his people, no matter how hard

So yeah...wtf was the point of revealing he was the one true king...

When he was already the people's king
Should have been figured out already
...and decided to be King beyond the wall anyway...

Literally didn't matter.

147. "The narrative point of Jon being the true king was all about Dany."
In response to Reply # 128


  

          

Her "selfish" or "entitled" perspective for all of her life's ambition was circled around the idea that HER true place was in the iron throne. It was REALLY a great opportunity to flesh out Dany with that plot conflict that the person she loves was rightfully king. They didn't execute it well but the betrayal of John to her was that he conceded to her to be Queen, but didn't keep it secret, which is supposed to justify why she decided to flip the script and burn down all of King's Landing. It was sloppily done but had the potential to be a better narrative device.

The Jon reveal with the music. the shot leading to "King In The North." I was so hyped. I thought King Jon versus The Night King was coming, North vs The South. etc etc The fact that they sidelined him and then had him bend the knee was such a letdown.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

followed by "that's what y'all niggas get"

- underwhelming ends for Cersei and InKast Lannister
- Brienne stuck holding the bag chasing after InKast
- Jon on some "fuck this shit", ditto to Arya
- Dragon Drone Warrior catching a L after going U.S. Department of Defense (favorite part)
- Tyrion didn't job
- Starks Dunked On Fools. (Though, I do like that they had to put Sansa in the Glad Bag a little w/that protest to Degrassi Drake getting the throne. ALL YO HEROES ARE TRASH)

Yes, I'm mad. Let's move on.

Started with this ominous ash and darkness and rejuvenated full squads of Dothraki and unsullied. Dragon roars, were gonna take over the world.. then it was over.

Also you never believe Jon is considering going along. I know theyre showing he's lying to himself but maybe his rationalizations would play better of he and Dany ever had any chemistry, and maybe we would feel they did if they did more than ride dragons for a few minutes and fuck on a boat

Season long arc stuff but we get bullet points

there are so many little things, in this series that were dangled as significant, then didn't get wrapped up, so whatevs... but when he peaced out to Theon and did his wargy thing, and then nothing ever happened and it was never explained why he did it? That one in particular is gonna give me a brain bubble.

Fun series with some really great moments, i guess. I'll probably pass on the related series, though.

and pretty much ready to roll with whatever. It looked significant, but it was basically Benioff and Weiss shooting an epic Iron Maiden video or something.

The Bran one isn't really more significant than any of the other issues either, it's just the one that sticks with me personally for some reason i can't even articulate.

It was still fun, they just didn't do as great a job connecting dots and they did in the past. So it looked super important and symbolic, but then was like 'oh she found a horse'.

The Twin Peaks fan in me got all excited about the symbolism.

But it didn't go anywhere at all. She was still in town, without a horse, by the start of the next episode. She might as well have been sitting on some stairs between episodes 5 and 6.

Unless there was some green-eyed person that she ran off and quietly killed off-screen.

An embarrassing, cringe worthy ending to a shit season.

A show that had everything was turned into a ridiculous mess with some of the worst writing and plot contrivances ever.

Jon kills Greyworm in hand to hand combat. Dany sticks Drogon and Jon but he is impervious to his flames and Drogon won't kill his own kind. Then Dany won't accept Jon's hand as she is dangling on a cliff? Is that what people really wanted?

gray worm stepping in front and dany letting him through. it just doesnt make sense that they would let jon in with her alone.

or maybe showing some characters having segways or hoverboards to explain how they got to certain spots before other characters.

of Unsullied and Dothraki but apparently they were all napping including the dragon long enough for it to be covered in "snow" but the dragon could smell Jon's Targaryb blood so it let him slide by to kill his mama.

It's not a one of the other thing, which the two options are what we got vs. "an Avengers style battle." I don't see anyone in this thread arguing that what this episode needed was another known down drag out battle. What it needed was better development to earn this end.

Usually all the big action/drama happens in the second to last episode, within the final episode setting up everything to come, with only occasionally a big death thrown in. The finale followed suit in that regard.

In response to Reply # 190

Did we need the damsel in distress you mention...no

But

Now that the series has completed

...and after 7 seasons of buildup...

Do you think the NK battle fulfilled 7 seasons of buildup?

7 seasons of...winter is coming

7 seasons of...the night is dark and full of terror

The battle of winterfell should have been a benchmark

Now that it's over

It doesn't even rank in the top battle scenes of GOT.

It should have been EPIC

The forced narratives and drama...is exactly why it will be forgotten

Compare...

"Jon kills Greyworm in hand to hand combat. Dany sticks Drogon and Jon but he is impervious to his flames and Drogon won't kill his own kind. Then Dany won't accept Jon's hand as she is dangling on a cliff? Is that what people really wanted"

Is it that far off from what we got?

Geryworm falls victim to Tyrion's ploy
Drogon basically did what you allude to...without turning flames on Jon...probably already knew he wouldn't burn...right?
Jon didn't save her...but still decided her fate

time to edit?

In response to Reply # 202


  

          

They just didn't spend any time focusing on the aftermath of it.

If that NK battle was the end of a season and the next season ended with the battle of Kingslanding and in between we see the impact of the NK Battle and Dany turning bad, it all would have seen more epic.

Instead in 6 episodes they did what should have been done in 12.

So, ignoring all the issues that I mentioned before, the hound wouldn't have stood out as much anymore. After Dany's attack on King's Landing, you're going to have thousands, maybe tens of thousands of people with horrific burns. Btw that and the soldiers with war wounds, the hound would have fit in.

Yeah he still has this reputation as a Lannister dog, and his attitude is surly and anti-social, but you're going to have a gang of survivors with ptsd and horrific burns, and he would have fit right in. He could have found a post-war family.

Additionally (and I'll always stand by this) it's pretty obvious that the hound's lack of romantic life was written by a man. A super tall muscular man who is one of the best fighters in the country would have no issues getting pussy, fucked up face or not. He would have found a lil serving girl to be boo'd up with and raised a family.

tyrion never got laid again.

sure he's fucked up over killing his girl.

but he'd get bakc on his bullshit eventually.

the people who made the show really couldn't imagine a disabled person fucking unless they have jamie lannister's face.

In general I always felt that Tyrion could have found someone - he's smart, loyal to a fault, brave, funny. Beyond the height and the facial injury he has a lot to offer. Never noticed that the show never even tried to pair him up again after Shae, shit's fucked up.

or because no one would want him (we saw him bark that girl away at Winterfell). He may have certainly felt that way, but the Hound pushed away anything that resembled an emotional connection, including friendship. That's why the only thing he ever talked passionately about was killing. The only time he used the word love was about the love of killing people. Anything else was weakness. Arya was the closest a human being cracked him.

After they beat the NK he jokes Gentry about looking for Arya (for some ass) and then tells him he needs to go on and get it since he is still alive.

Sansa tried to hook him up but he has no interest. Only thing on his mind is revenge.

Basically tells Arya to not end up like him because al he is consumed with is revenge.

I'm betting that when they do a spinoff, it'll be in a different time period in Westeros. Like a prequel with young Ned and Robert or a sequel showing how the events of GOT shaped Westeros over the next 25 years or so.

According to GRRM, they have like five or six ideas for spinoffs, but only one at the moment has some traction.

We'll see some form of GOT in the future, trust.

In response to Reply # 234


  

          

Part of the reason they had the lengthy "His Dark Materials" and "Westworld" teasers before the finale. On some, "Hey, don't drop us! We've got more awesome shows! We promise!"

So they're probably looking into whatever means they can to prevent million from dropping the station from their cable plans. And crafting a spin-off around the show's most beloved remaining character is probably a good place to start.

But yeah, they already have a bunch of other spin-offs in the works regardless. Mostly prequels.

In response to Reply # 227


          

>overthrown then they install the 2 of the weakest characters
>in the show as king and queen

- She escaped Joffrey and Cersei
- She escaped Ramsay Bolton and orchestrated his defeat in battle and his personal death
- She played Littlefinger
- She came back to Winterfell and ran The North while Arya and Jon were off doing God knows what (to the Northmen)
- She's one of the last ladies standing from the start of these wars and has accumulated more power at every turn

You know, the thing that was "coming" for seven seasons? Then in the seven season finale that they showed it finally reaching King's Landing on some heavy handed symbolism? And then it's gone again this season? Did kill the Night King get rid of it?

No one should be going north of the wall in the winter.
Unless killing the NK means winter doesn't exist anymore.
In which case, that would need to be explained.

Usually people get mad when a show treats them like children who need their hand held through every step. But people find a way to get mad at this show for treating them like adults who can figure things out on their own.

You just answered YOUR OWN QUESTION and then said the writers should have saved you the split second of work.

In response to Reply # 284


  

          

Especially since Tormund has a line about, "We'll wait for these winter storms to pass before going north of the Wall." So, like, does Winter last years or does in not? It's been a pretty central plot point for the past eight seasons to forget to acknowledge it.

Notice Tormumd didn't say "we'll wait until spring."

There have been some really dumb things that have happened on the show, but this is a reach, one of many that people have made lately.

295. "Winter has come and gone without white walkers for thousands of years"
In response to Reply # 284


  

          

They haven't been seen in so long that no one actually believed they exist. Winter never went away. "Winter is Coming" are the words for fucks sake.
We're told stories of how in the winter snows can be 40 feet deep. We know that people migrate when winter comes. We know that famines that kill thousands are common. We know that in the North, men often intentionally die in battle before winter so their families will have one less mouth to feed. Winter is brutal. We know this. And as a reader of the books, I find it hard to believe that Jon would just casually head north of the wall in the winter.
And the show offered absolutely no explanation of the White Walkers at all after 8 seasons of building them into the non-threat that they were. We don't know what they did, what they wanted, or what their deaths mean.
So, no, I didn't answer my own question.

Maybe it takes a few months for them to fully transition.

When I've lived in snowy places sometimes it would snow in September and then it doesn't snow again until January. I assume this effect would be magnified if I had also just killed a thousand year old ice demon.

Problem solved. You're welcome.

because that's how they get down. During the meeting Sansa mentioned the Northern solders were outside the gates, Greyworm mentions the Unsullied but not the Dothraki

Otherwise I don't see how Jon doesn't get executed immediately because the Northern soldiers had Jon's back but they woudldn't have been able to handle both groups.

"Well how did you want them to wrap it up?"

THOSE PEOPLE ARE THE FUCKING WORST (and they are all up and down this post).

Do you not understand that it's not exactly the ending that's the problem?

It's how they got there. It's the characters suddenly doing things completely against who they are supposed to be. It's plot conveniences that prove shit got lazy. It's the lack of general consistency (where did Arya's horse go). It's making the supposed most important part of the entire GoT lore a complete afterthought and just a way to make Dany go nuts (l+r=j).

Who the fuck cares where her horse went?! It wasn't even HER horse.

It was a random horse she rode to get the fuck outta dodge. It's not like Arya is the HORSE FUCKING MASTER and is incomplete without a horse. You really need them to show you Arya getting off the horse and saying goodbye to it in a dramatic moment?

Jesus shit, people on the internet make the worst fucking writers.

Just like people in this thread talking about "What about the Dothraki left in Essos?" or "why even make Bran a cripple?"

Man, if that isn't the gift and the curse of art. Everyone has a fucking interpretation they feel entitled to no matter what happens.

And it's a fair question to ask, what would you have the writers do, cause most people are offering up their own takes on how shit should have gone down, and these takes are equally shitty.

Yo, sometimes shit is made, filmed, written or whatever. You're gonna like it or not. The end. You can critique, but fuck all this whiny shit.

If people want to pass blame, they need to start with the guy who created GoT. I’m not saying the show runners, show writers and HBO don’t also deserve blame but it starts with GRRM who has been working on Winds of Winter for 7 years now and still isn’t done.

In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Season 7 had some of the best, iconic and jaw dropping moments in the series.

- Arya assassinating the Freys.
- Littlefinger getting his comeuppance.
- Sansa coming into her own.
- Bran coming into his own.
- the battle in the lake beyond the wall was badass.
- seeing a dragon slayed and resurrected.
- destruction of the wall.
- some of the best political maneuvering in the series between Jon, Dany, Cersei, Euron and Littlefinger trying to get ready for the endgame.
- Stark kids reunion
- The caravan attack (your people can't fight. lol)
- Olenna going out like an OG (I want her to know it was me)

the fuck?

Jesus shit, the internet sucks.

Season 7 was good, though it was the beginning of the "Dan and Dave decided to rush to the ending." But in and of itself i loved it. I think its becoming collateral damage of peoples anger at 8. I rewatched it and basically the worst things about Season 7, being super rushed, took over all of Season 8.

277. "i think 7 was when they stopped showing their work"
In response to Reply # 273


  

          

Travel time became flights and bullet train speed. Cool things happened but they stopped showing us how.

Take the Littlefinger thing. I absolutely love the scene where he gets his, but based on what they showed us, it made no sense. They played up the animosity between Sansa and Arya to fool littlefinger (and us) but the most tense scene where Sansa finds Arya's faces and Arya pretty much threatens to kill Sansa and steal her face, they're in a room by themselves lol. It makes us HAVE to believe their tension is real for the surprise to work. Or if it is real and there's a scene where Bran has to break it down for them, we have to just guess.

And that dirty dozen snatch and grab on ice thing was kinda terrible imo but then again I've never been a fan of the walker stuff.

I mean, I enjoyed S7, and to be honest I enjoyed the shit out of S8 despite my complaints.

279. "RE: i think 7 was when they stopped showing their work"
In response to Reply # 277


  

          

Travel time and Euron pretty much coming out of nowhere to become a major player are kinda my only complaints.

Everything else I'm fine enough with, especially with Arya and Sansa. The reunion was nice, but they are vastly different people with vastly different skills and motivations from the last time they saw each other. Didn't matter to me that they antagonistic in a room alone together. It made sense given what Sansa found, and most people would be baffled if they found a bag of faces in their little sister's room.

I like that family won out in the end and that Littlefinger didn't see it coming. Made sense given the fact that Littlefinger was letting hubris get the best of him (i mean really, this dude kept coming at Sansa and getting curbed then told her brother, yo, I intend to fuck while standing in the family crypt????).

In response to Reply # 279


  

          

it's that Arya pulled out a knife and said "maybe I'll wear yours" lol

but they needed us to believe it, otherwise Baelish's death scene doesn't play as well.

it was kind of a writing cheat imo

but again, i've enjoyed every season. accelerated pacing or not

In response to Reply # 277


  

          

That's why when the scene began, as I recall, Arya was just as surprised as Littlefinger was when Sansa flipped on Littlefinger.

That made for a doper character development for Sansa, she figured it out on her own. Arya didn't have to persuade her. That also explains Arya's newfound respect for Sansa.

285. "Operation: Wightnap was the low point of the series"
In response to Reply # 273


  

          

Everything about that was fucking horrendously bad.

The plan itself was among the worst ideas ever hatched.
We're going to go north of the wall, somehow find the army of the dead, somehow kidnap a wight from an army of 100k zombies, and bring it to Cersei so she'll agree to help us fight the dead.

All of the red-shirt, fake-out deaths. Moronic.

Gendry sprinting back to the wall, somehow getting word from the wall to Dragon Stone about what happened, and Dany then getting there (north of the wall, from Dragonstone) in less than a day's passage. Ridiculous.

The NK throwing his spear at the further dragon, the one in motion, and not the stationary dragon, much closer, that is the one his enemies plan on using to escape. Stupid.

The fact that this army of zombies, out of nowhere suddenly has hundreds of feet of gigantic chain that someone had to have swam to the bottom of the lake to wrap around the dragon before they haul it out. Idiotic.

Is it in character for both Tyrion and Varys to be ok with a plan like this? Two of the most scheming and intelligent men in the realm would have hatched something else, something less foolhardy and doomed to fail.

Or individual moments don't mask the overall weakness of the season.

For example, for my money, the Battle of Hardhome was the best battle of the entire series. That didn't stop Season 5 from being a poorly executed shit show.

327. "i did not like it at all on a second viewing"
In response to Reply # 273


  

          

the first time i saw the season it was fine, dont remember not liking it. a lot of big stuff happened but basically it was setting the scene for season 8.

i have been binging the series and every season up to 7 was really good/great. 7 was just flat. maybe its that i watched 7 after 8 was done. so i knew where it all ended or how i felt after it ended.

maybe its burn out. im waiting a minute before rewatching season 8.

..and this show proves it LOL.

Watching this show was entertaining enough on its own, but hearing/reading the reactions from everyone else (OKP included) is something else.

At times, you find intriguing points or details. Other times, its almost like people are watching entirely different series/shows.

The show (and its creators) deserves some criticism, but overall I think they did a great job.

go off to "explore" while still owing the many faced God
a good ending for her would be for said god to collect his debt
remember she stole a couple of faces from the crypt
Just like everyone that died this season, her cycle was complete
no more revenge, no more kill list, doesn't want to be Mrs. Gendry

Eventually, some Naath folks and kids will want to sign up to join the Unsullied and Grey Worm and them will be like cool, we'll teach you our fighting style, but you can keep your twig n berries, cool?
