the destination isnt the problem- the journey is. This video sums it up perfectly.

This is why pivotal moments like the Red Wedding, Ned's beheading, Oberyn's death, etc, were satisfying and fulfilling even when the viewer was initially upset by the result. Once you digest it, you realize the story naturally flowed to the proper conclusion within the narrative. Daenerys' heel turn is botched and messy. What should have been a powerful and bittersweet conclusion was ultimately just boring.

I do agree Drogon's part was the highlight of the episode. They gave him a great puppy dog reaction. Best actor of the finale.

Yeah, you're like the twentieth person to post that video.

I disagree that Daenerys embracing her dark side was botched or messy. It wasn't even rushed.
 
Things are going to land differently for different people

I can understand not feeling like Danys descent was rushed or poorly handed.

Its subjective with regards to how it plays to different people

Jesus Christ. Imagine being one of those people.

Ha, just saw it was a shoop. The real ones have been terrible all year long though.

Grey Worm should have killed Jon immediately after Jon confessed. Maybe Tyrion too just to clean things up. But he didn't and once he didn't the negotiations with the Northern Forces outside the castle had to take place.

Grey Worm is not about meaningless wars actually. Sure they will willingly die for a leader but that does not mean they want to fight all the time. He and his people are more protection and allegiance based than marauders which one might call the Dothraki. So I see no issue with Grey Worm wanting to negotiate and end to the conflict rather than, yet another war. He was focused on wanting to fulfill his pledge to Missandei and get her back to Naath.

But yes, the show runners horribly rushed this season. They simply could not wind it up quick enough despite HBO glad to fund more episodes. It was clear they have Star Wars and Star Wars only on the mind. Sad.

Grey Worm is also about loyalty and duty, executing Jon in his characters eyes would have served both. Starting a war over it wouldn’t have been his intention but knowing it would happen is a real possibility because he wasn’t an idiot. That said, it was not consistent with his character or that scene even for Grey Worm to just shrug and go along with all that crap. That shit was 100% ‘let’s just wrap this shit up.’ There was no regard for character consistency or consistency to the situation they were all in at that moment. Just pure ‘we need to show something.. so here it is.’


Like I said in an earlier post, Grey Worm literally has no reason to even be there to negotiate at all much less listen to anything they have to say. That’s the reality of that situation. Execute Jon and Tyrion then bounce.


It was terrible writing. It was terrible pacing. And it was terrible execution. That’s what all of that was.

No, Jon having Targaryen blood is a major plot point. There's a difference.

lol to be fair didn't Bran say he didn't want to be king when Tyrion said he didn't want to be hand or something like that?

Maybe. Id have to watch it again to see exactly what and how he said it

What I'm sure is that he said something along the lines of everything happening like it should have, which nods at him being behind all of it....

So he might have said anything just to convince tyrion

I can appreciate the idea of sharing the experience, but when you all do that jumping and shouting thing like after Arya kills the Night King, how can you possibly analyze content when you're hiveminding like that?
 
Better story than Bran is gonna be the new better love story than Twilight.

Literally everyone in that meeting, including the people who never said a fucking word, had a better story than that weirdo.
 
Loved this episode up until Drogon picked up Dany and flew away, then it started getting a little weird. Grey Worm should have killed Jon IMO. Arya’s ending was also weird, felt like it came out of nowhere. Loved Brienne writing Jamie’s good deeds in the book. I was sceptical about Jamie’s arc last episode but now I am pleased at how it turned out as a whole. It would have sucked if he had just gone down as “the Kingslayer”.

Overall I think I’m higher than most on the ending and they done a pretty good job. Would have looked even better with more episode and better pacing throughout.

Oh and one other thing, ROFL at the lords all pissing themselves at the thought of giving peasants the right to vote.
 
You guys are missing the bigger plot point, overlord Bran. The man behind the scenes pulling all the strings. From causing friction between Dany and Jon, to withholding knowledge leading to the downfall of many characters and sitting back as his plan unfolds. The NK, Dany, Cersie, exc. were all fodder for his campaign.

Bran is a straight shooter with upper management written all over him.
 
Not sure what annoy me the most today. GOT finale or Google banning Huawei from their services (i have a P30 Pro)

An average monday to start the week
