Television Game of Thrones (TV) • The watch has ended

What watching will there be for Jon to do now anyway?

He's basically working in HMV.
 
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.
On the delayed train home today managed to watch the first part of this. Great character and an even better actor.

thanks for this. We almost forget how good it was before it all crashed and burned
 
What if Jon didn't want to be pardoned? He had his best time north of the wall. Think he's looking forward to spending time with Tormund, Ghost and fecking wild chicks.
Agree. He was totally broken after killing Dany. Even if they would have decided to offer him to become king, there is no way that he would have accepted it.
 
I think I might rewatch it soon. Wire too
Always a great idea. Rewatched the Wire a while ago, show hasn’t lost a bit of its power. It just feels so real.
 
Pfft far too happy clappy ending with a bow on top. feck that shit. Night King should have won. If he didn’t walk so damn slow things would have been very different. The living got lucky.
 
No white walker or Lord of Light reference in the final episode ...was kind of hoping for a hint that the NK storyline and it's connection with Bran might not be over.

Just rewatched some of the opening scenes before the episode took a dive and the visual direction is just majestic. Dany's speech was chilling (compare and contrast to Kit's speech in episode 4), the music was great and it looked just perfect. I could've happily watched a whole season of the aftermath of her 'liberating' cities in the winter before Jon or whoever stopped her. The set up and pay off of the 'mad queen' would have worked better with an extended season.
Me too. Thought there would be some kind of tease somewhere.

I thought you were threadbanned?!
 
The whole thing about Jon being the rightful King was just brushed under the carpet. It's too funny when you think about it

D&D forgot about that storyline. :D

In all seriousness, for them to not even have a sentence of dialogue to explain this is just ridiculous. It's been one of the main themes of the entire fecking season and his parentage has been argued about since Season 1!
These.

Not having him as King for a sort of a sad/bittersweet ending is what we've come to expect from the show but the manner in which it was done...after years and years of the "....he is the rightful heir to the iron throne" reveal...oh my....
 
Did people miss the part where he left the wall behind him? The watch was just an excuse to get rid of Greyworm and co.

Yeah he never rejoined the Nightswatch, that was just a rouse to get him back up north - he told Tormund he wish he was going back north of the wall with him.

Would have liked to have seen him wearing their furs etc and become a wildling.
 
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.

Yeah, the fool would have just said it loudly
 
Does Grey Worm even know he's Aegon? Just use that name instead. Grey Worm is tired of this bullshit anyway.
 
Thinking about it today, it wasn't as bad as I initially thought it was last night, when the words "Dexter" and "lumberjack" were leaping to mind.

I already liked everything up until the point the dragon fecked off. Now the final ending for the different characters is sitting better with me too. It's a good end to their individual stories, it just wasn't a particularly dramatic one. Really it was the summit and council scenes that screwed the episode for me though.

Where yesterday I thought the ending was straight up terrible, now I think the same basic endpoints could have been fine if they'd executed it better. Which is probably my complaint for the season as a whole really. I liked pretty much all the broad beats and set pieces but the way the writers carried us from one to the other was, well.....
I agree with this
I watched again with my gf. The montage with the music at the end was actually really well done for the Starks and good to watch.

The small council was a sitcom scene. It just felt out of place. It was worse than I remembered
The scene with tyrion in chains was better than I remembered but not great. And it following danys death and being set in the future (weeks later) was just bizarre

The end scene was a mimick of the first scene of the show with the gates opening and watchers stepping out.
 
Good at adaptation, shit at writing an original story. If the rumours are true that their trilogy is an adaptation of KOTOR, then they might do a good job. If they do a new story, it is gonna be worse than the Last Jedi.
I don't mind them getting the job because of the reasons you've mentioned. What I mean though is that I'm a petty fecker and they rushed through this because of boredom/wanting to do other stuff so if they lost it because of the GoT drop in quality I'd laugh my arse off.

They should have done a Larry David with Seinfeld and handed the reigns over when they decided they couldn't be bothered.
 
So after all the fuss from a few episodes ago about Jon not saying bye to Ghost and D&D making out it was too hard for CGI - only to see them reunited in episode 6...

What was that about?
 
Why didn’t Arya just use her faceless ability to mimic a soldier then kill Dany?

There’s so many plot holes and questions it’s almost laughable. Nearly everything that happened was meaningless.
 
So what actually was the ‘Song of Ice and Fire’ ultimately? Jon was mostly useless in the climax...it doesn’t make sense for him to be that ‘song’ knowing what we do now.

Was it really just the Ice King vs the hot red Priestesses all along? Like a game of some bipolar god?

They forgot they'd filmed that.


Oh and if people want to kill a lot of time, Maisie Williams has posted on twitter about memes and there's literally hundreds being posted. Some really great ones too :lol:

The Others (Whitewalkers) and Daenerys. At least this is what GRRM said.

Like others, I thought that it is Jon (cause he combines both of them).

I’m in tears here, there are some belters on there.

Cersei rising from the rubble with 3 baby elephants is amazing

She was planning too I think.
 
God that was shit :lol:

.I would have been satisfied with an ending that had Jon in the north as he was, Dany on the throne, Sansa ruling the North for Dany but ultimately not trusting her and plotting her independence, and maybe float around the idea that one day Arya might take out Dany one day, and have Tyrion in doubt if he made the right choice. Maybe people would have hated that kind of ambiguity, but I think it would have found a nice balance between resolution but also y'know... not having to tie up everything so neatly.

The way they went with it, just ruined characters, created plot holes and ending up being ultimately very, very silly.

I mean... You see the issue here, right ?
 
I stopped watching after the Second season.

My Daughter told me yesterday afternoon, that the Final episode was that night.
So we were trying to guess who would be the King. I said my guess would be that kid who could not walk,.
I could not remember his name.
 
The worst part is that the biggest problem could have been so easily avoided. 6 first seasons were ten episodes, why not have ten in the last two? It's not like they lacked content. I think there were more happening in each of the last two seasons than any of the former ones.

This show had the perfect formula of build up - action/events - reactions to what transpired. But the last two seasons were mainly just action, and rushing through to the next opportunity for more action. And the only thing they built up towards were big cinematic moments, where logic was pushed aside, and the only only thinking was "How do we get to this picture?"
 
Surely Brans 'thats what I've come all this way for' is a hint to him being the NK? None of it makes any sense otherwise.

@RedSky do we ever seen Bran and the NK move at the same time once he's turned into the 3ER? Could possibly explain the weird flying crows like kites situation.
 
Obviously they got a fair few things wrong this season. But with Jon going beyond the wall again. I feel like they could of teased something for the future. Some sort of blue eyes on a child or something. It's just pretty sad now that it's done.
When they showed Jon at the end and the music changed I really thought that's what they were gonna do
 
Really find it baffling how they managed to rush it. Should have been something along the lines of:

Season 8 (10 episodes): Ice King vs rest
Season 9 (6 episodes): Dany vs Cersei
Season 10 (6 episodes): Dany vs rest

Character and storyline development was criminal in the final seasons.
