Spoilers Game of Thrones: The Final Season

[publiusr]

A better ending for me would have been having Bran distract the Night King somehow.

That is what he was doing. He held the Night King's gaze, and if you remember, the Night King did turn his head just a bit, before starting to draw his own sword. The gig up, he turned and faced Arya.

Melisandre is an irredeemable villain for getting a girl burned alive by her own father.

Yes but she still would be a great ally. Had Dany been a bit more thoughtful, she would have made Jon King of the North (only Taking Kings Landing). Then she could have forgiven Mel and had her and Arya ride with Drogon to Kings' Landing to make a drop.

She lost her temper.

Potential spoilers:

Spoiler

Dany kills Varys
Jon kills Dany and Grey Worm
Cersei and Jaime die together (not sure how they're fatally wounded)
Arya leaves Westeros
Sansa ends up as Lady of Winterfell
Bran and a council - which includes Tyrion - rule Westeros
Jon goes back to the Night's Watch

Qyburn perfected his Scorpion design since we first saw it used at the Battle of the Loot Train and was able to mass-produce the weapon.

So, he was able to do in a few months what untold numbers of craftsmen had not been able do since the Targaryen Conquest began? And mass-produce in a time that had no concept of the term? It's just complete bullshit and bad plotting by the writers.

I should point out he's a wizard and magic once again works.

Possible but I don't think a few of those will happen.

Spoiler

The Nights Watch no longer has a purpose for existing.

Ah well, Valar Morghulis.

What was it that Greyworm said in response to Mel'?

I'm so tired of Euron Greyjoy

Bad things happen. This was the episode I dreaded. The previous episode was a triumph. This ep was more like real life.

Nothing goes right.

I was right about Qyburn improving the dragon killer weapon and Bronn staying away from dragons.

I must say--I rather like Qyburn.

Jaime has the single most interesting scene in the episode. After finally giving in and embracing his relationship with Brienne, he abandons her to ride south.

Now, in the same way some didn't like Jon seeming helpless--I didn't like to see Brienne reduced to a wreck. I can see her nodding, and going off with Giantsbane

 

[Ridcully]

I wonder who the traitor is.....someone is feeding info to Cersei....

 

[Mr Awe]

Dany has got to finally put it together that someone is feeding Cersei information about all their "surprise" attacks - every single time they set out they get ambushed for crying out loud

My money is on Varys and she has him killed or BBQs him with her dragon

I've wondered about a mole ever since the magical fleet struck in the previous season! Not sure if they're going anywhere with that, but if so, Varys would be a logical suspect!

However, in this case, it's logical for Euron's fleet to suspect that Dany will head south on that route after defeating the dead. It's a logical trap. So, it needn't be a magical fleet or a traitor this time around.

I don't know if that's right or not, but it's not a bad ending at all.

 

[Masiral]

Is Pod still getting laid?

Yes.

 

[Professor Zoom]

The past 3 episodes isn't "awhile"; and just because they've 'seeded' it doesn't make it a good narrative.

It's a very good narrative, if one has been paying attention. One has been obsessed with getting one thing because she thinks it's her right--and her barbarity has been demonstrated many many times before. The other has been trying to do what is RIGHT regardless of what it might cost him personally. Of course, these two world views would come into conflict.

[Turd Ferguson]

David and Dan make it clear in the "Inside the Episode" featurette that such isn't the case, and, as I alluded to earlier, stuff I've seen indicates that there's a very specific reason that the Valonquar part of Maggy the Frog's prophecy wasn't included in the television series:

Spoiler

Neither of Cersei's brothers has anything to do with causing her death, although she and Jaime do perish together

Jaime may not be the one to do it, but Arya wearing Jaime's face may be the one to do it. She's already proven to be a badass and Jaime is one of the only people who can waltz straight into King's Landing (not to mention Cersei is still on her kill list)

 

[Random_Spock]

Just heard about that! It got better, even Starbucks got in on the fun.

If Jaime really is just wandering his way back to Cersei, then what a waste of multiple seasons of character development and what a cynical end to his story (and Brienne's).

A one knight stand?

I would agree.

An oldie but a goodie! I love how they worked in the tracking and other old VHS artifacts.

I swear that's the font from Lois and Clark...

This isn't happening; stop trying to make it happen.

Finally someone on the show acknowledged the aunt/nephew relationship. Thank you Varys!

During he negotiations with Cersei the unsullied army was laughably small, they should have waited for Jon and the rest of the army. Cersie should have attacked them, but I guess the dragon (while not present) is still a good deterrent.

Did Tyrion really expect to talk his crazy sister out of the war? He has been a terrible adviser to Dany. The best advice Dany ever got was from Lady Olena who told her "Just be a dragon". All these dividing of troops strategies have backfired. She should have attacked Kings Landing initially when she still had 3 dragons and worry about the Night King later.
