I knew this season would be rushed from a while back and felt people were being excessive with the on and on ranting....this final episode though :smh:...the unsullied didnt kill Jon? unbelievable....nah, somebody just didn't feel like doing a final battle against Dany's forces
But that keeps the wheel going and the story never ends. Just the same shit.

Agreed. :yes: I liked this episode. :yes:

The ending tied all the storylines together & had plenty of ‘call backs’ to past seasons.

Joffrey once insulted Jaime by saying: “Oh look Uncle, someone forgot to write down all of your good deeds.” And it was fitting that Lady Brienne was the person to write down all of his good deeds.

Sansa did ‘sell out’ Jon tho. Because last episode she told Tyrion: “What if there is someone BETTER (than Dany)?? Because she was trying to get Jon to claim the throne...

But this episode she agrees to ‘banish him’ to the Wall.... so that SHE could rule the North alone. :rolleyes: She wanted to be ‘royalty’ ever since season 1... and now she finally got it... by stabbing Jon in the back. :D

I like the new Small Council.

Podrick finally became a real Knight.

Sam finally became a real Maester.

Tyrion finally paid Bronn everything he owed him.

Greyworm decided to head to Naath, to find another Missande.

Jon got to go back to the North, where he felt most ‘at home’... and reunite with Ghost.
Disagree

Jon should have cut Daenerys in half when she was giving that speech. As the Unsullied go to kill Jon the dragon swoops down. Wanting to kill Jon but can’t because he is the rightful Targaryen heir. Protects Jon from any harm

I guess everyone forgot that. Jon could do whatever he wanted because it was his right.

I thought this season was the only truly weak one that the show ever had. But I really loved the character send off moments. And I love the idea of a New Westeros being the ending note. The great houses took a beating over the last 8 seasons, so it makes senses that the country that goes forward is a different one then what came before. I really love the idea of Jon going back to the wall and starting a new era of the Night's Watch where they help displaced free folks find and settle new lands instead of being at constant war. Who's to say that a hundred year from the ending, there could even be open trade between free folk and the North. With Jon and Sasha having ushered in a new way of thinking.

That ending was beautiful. It might not have been the ending that you had in your mind. Or the ending that you wanted. It wasn't for me. I thought Jon would fully embrace his family roots and become King Aegon 6th of his name.
But I still respect and love the ending that they gave us.

I'm not disappointed in the slightly with the unGodly amount of time that I spent with this show over the last eight years. Whether it be watching it, rewatching it, or discussing it in here or among friends. And it still sits at my number 2 spots for greatest shows of all times, only behind the Wire.

Co-sign...i liked the episode more than i expected i would.

Nice to see Bronn again...from a sellsword straggler who volunteered to defend Tyrion in season one...to commander of the kingsguard and defending kings landing against stannis rebellion...to owning a castle and wedding a lady of a noble house...to being lord of highgarden the 2nd wealthiest (or maybe wealthiest) house in the six kingdoms, master of coin and other lofty titles

Son had the biggest come up of anybody on the show

Jon killed Dany. Why nitpick if it was ‘during her speech’... or a few minutes after? :rolleyes:

Btw, Jon doesn’t have that ‘deep’ of a bond with Drogon. He never even rode him. He rode Rhaegal. The one named after his father. Dany is the only person to ride Drogon. If it was Rhaegal, I could see your point.

But why the hell would Drogon just defend Jon... all of a sudden? :hmm: C’mon man.

The same reason he didn’t kill Jon. Dragon knows he is a Targaryen

Congrats, you are the .0001% of people thinking this ending was fine

Anything would have been better. Cersei comes back as a zombie and kills them all.

They kinda glossed over it, but Sansa and Arya both wanted Jon to be completely free, but the rest of lands that pledged to Dany (The Iron Islands, Dorne, etc) wanted him punished so that was the compromise they had to live with.

BTW, Dorne was shorted again. Their new "prince" didn't get a word in during the council.

Don't forget about Ser Davos.
Started out as a Fea Bottom back alley smuggler, to getting his own House and lands for saving Stannis's ass. Then elevated to hand of the King to Stannis, to sitting on Jon's war counsel, then being in Dany's inner circle.
Now he is Master of Ships and sits on the small counsel to the King of all 6 kingdoms. And he is probably the only person in King's Landing other than the King who understands the North and can broker deals and trades with Queen Sasha.
You know his pockets are looking very healthy right now.

‘Not killing him’.... and ‘outright defending him’ are two different things tho.

They both require a different level of ‘loyalty’. :yes:
That’s the difference.

Drogon doesn’t have that much ‘loyalty’ to Jon.
He only recognizes / respects him enough... to not kill him.

:lol: I noticed that too. Did they even name him?
You know you ain't shit when Lord Edmure gets more speaking lines than you.

The show runners didn't want to do more seasons. And apparently HBO was ok with it. I guess GRR Martin didn't have any influence in to trying to keep the main story going.

I don't believe that shit. These guys had one of the most successful show on tv, and could have made a ton more money with a couple more seasons. They got bored of making money and being famous?


BTW GRR Martin had no say in the production of the series, that was all marketing to make it seems like the show had the blessing of the author. He had no creative oversight to the series. He still getting paid for it but we will have to wait for the books to see how this really ends.
