They'll probably have a spin off show. West of westeros or something.
Just fecking ask Bran, no need to fecking sail for a year.

It wasn't exactly a leading role though, getting lost in a snowstorm for thirty minutes, and whoever came up with those battle plans sure as hell wouldn't want to admit to afterwards. I know it was team effort but shessh
Thank you. I've been saying this since season 5.I implore anybody who hasn't to go back and watch scenes from the earlier seasons, particularly some involving some of the elder statesmen in the cast (charles dance in particular) and quite honestly if you put it side by side to episodes from S8 you would feel like you were watching an entirely different show. Scenes between Tyrion and Oberyn, Jaime and Brienne, Tywin and Arya are simply breathtaking television. I've decided to start from the beginning personally but stop at S7 to try and blow away the feelings of disappointment that *this* is what the ending is.
The final couple of seasons got the only things the early ones lacked - the big set pieces and hollywood effects, but the show completely lost its heart along the way, and lost what really made it the most enjoyable show on television, a fantastic combination of excellent writing and stunning acting performances backed up by genuinely good dialogue.
Just fecking ask Bran, no need to fecking sail for a year.
Had they binned off some of the above, spent two seasons developing chemistry between Jon and Daenerys and watching her descend into madness (as well as giving more time to the White Walker plot) this would have been far more popular.
Then his character seemed to have changed after being a captive of the Freys for years. Obviously that experience would humble a man and that's the person we saw when he confronted Jaime Lannister. The guy lost his entire family and was a prisoner (probably under not very nice conditions) for years of his life, and we're expected to believe he didn't change at all and emerged a cocky buffoon?
They reversed his development because they wanted a giggle.
Why the feck did Bran even need a master of whisperer?

How would he find out ? SeriouslyJust fecking ask Bran, no need to fecking sail for a year.
They all fought each other for new leadership and most died. Meanwhile unsullied had nobody to command them except GW who was confused as off screen dany previously said don't kill him no matter whatDid I miss something with the Dothraki? Why weren't they to be seen after Jon killed their queen? Surely they would have wanted his head?
I feel sorry for all those feckers who are sitting down now expecting something incredible.
Except Jaime would never kill Cersei, let alone the unborn child. Arya's story was about letting go of her revenge, like she had already done in Season 7 when she chose family over killing Cersei and bonding with a dragon isn't a some as just having the right blood. Basically they wrote themselves into the shit and it's very difficult to write yourself out of it.Of all the moments they needed to timeskip, the Jon reveal to the Starks and post-Dany were the worst. Agreed. Just shoddy shoddy work. I don't mind cutting it down to 6 episodes, but they could have done so so much better with what they had by just tweaking a few things here and there.
the KL episode:
- Have Arya's cool scene by having her use some dead faces to wipe out the Kingsguard, before she reaches the Mountain with the Hound, and then Cleaganebowl. Also give her more cool scenes by wiping out the leader of the Golden Company instead of an OP dragon.
- keep Rhaegal alive till ep 5 and have him killed by Euron's scorpion just after the bells to drive Dany over the edge. Let Euron die in her revenge dragonfire.
- Jaime does to Cersei what Jon did to Dany, before letting the rubble kill them both. Since Euron is already dead, he doesn't need to be injured when he dies and we can let that shitty fight scene not exist
- Dany killing: suggested above
- post-Dany: the Dothraki and Unsullied want to fight, but stop when Jon summons Drogon, gets on top of him and tells them who he truly is. Some try to attack, but are instantly barbecued by Drogon. The rest get the message. Greyworm insists on fighting and is captured. Later he is set free on the condition that he leads his men to Naath.
- Jon pardons Tyrion and calls a small council to elect the king. When they want to choose him, he says he will no longer take part in the politics and go North of the Wall, where he truly felt at home. Gendry is then elected king, with Bran his hand. Sansa remains Queen in the North, and chooses Tyrion as her hand, because Tyrion no longer wishes to stay in KL where his family all died. Arya goes back to Braavos to lead the Faceless Men.
I made this up in 5 min, and it is still a better ending than what D&D did.
Also did he say he was missing a master of the guard (or similar) whilst Brienne is sat on the table?
You're seriously complaining about that?Probably. No reason for him to do that other than D&D wanted a cheap laugh. He's been in captivity for years and would likely be a broken man.
They basically undid all the good work they did on the character during Jaime's siege. He was a serious character then and not just a buffoon they could use for laughs in the finale.
See, this stuff. They're more concerned with Arya getting a menacing cool line when she should've been pleading with Jon in hushed tones after what she witnessed first-hand "Look around you, Jon. You know what she is, this won't be the last city to burn etc" would be much more impactful.Stolen from Reddit. Arya's supernatural perception:
Nah, it was Master of Whispers, Law and War.

Yeah they're basically horsey Klingons.Dothraki aren't about loyalty, if someone is good enough to kill a leader, they deserve to be the leader in their eyes.
Kings Guard is different to the captain of the guard. Basically police of the city, who betrayed Ned all the way back when.
Nah, it was Master of Whispers, Law and War.
Yeah that makes sense actually.Dothraki aren't about loyalty, if someone is good enough to kill a leader, they deserve to be the leader in their eyes.
He gone beyond the wall. He said to Tormund that that was where he would be happiest. I think Bran has sent him where he will be happy and fooled the Unsullied into believing he was being punished. They just couldn't tell Jon because he'd have given the game away.Good point. I just didn't feel the tragedy in his fate because I didn't feel either the chemistry between him and Dany nor any real point to his going to the Wall at the end as a penance.
He said he's done with war.Why on earth is Bronn master of coin? Surely he should be master of war? I mean he’s one of the most experienced, battle hardened men left in Westeros and they made him master of coin? Daft cnuts.
Couldn't agree more. That was Game of Thrones for me. Those scenes were simply fantastic. Just dialogue but had you on the edge of your seat; wondering if he sussed quite who she was.It really is a colossal shame.

S7/S8 weren't bad really, not by normal television standards, and a lot of aspects were very impressive. But you can't expect people not to complain when a shows best features suddenly becomes its weakest. The people who just watched for the tits and dragons are obviously still going to be satisfied, but I really don't think that's why a majority of people were dragged in by Game of Thrones.
He said he's done with war.
