Game of Thrones S8 |OT3| Best season evar. (FULL SPOILERS) (See Staff Post)

Aren't they standing near the docks when the unsullied are preparing to set sail? I thought the implication was that the dothraki would travel with them, even though it makes no sense. But everyone being cool with a ruthless pack of untamed dothraki roaming Westeros makes even less sense.
Maybe the unsullied are going to give the dothraki a quick lift back to Essos first before continuing onward to their disease-ridden island.
You're not the first person to say that, but I'm honestly surprised people were expecting more out of that. Who would even know where they are to save them?
You did and now you're trying to walk it back instead of owning it because you got called out by several people. The text is there, you wrote it.
I still cant get over this
I guess it's not really a great explanation, but I just presumed that the Unsullied were rudderless and inept without an actual leader to give them their marching orders. They're portrayed as little more than obedient robot automatons, so it makes sense that without any master to command them they would just default to a neutered state.
Why not have a scene where Drogon sprays fire at Jon and finds out he is invulnerable (coincidentally destroying the throne) instead of the dragon magically knowing he was a Targ and having that stupid shot of him melting the throne for no reason
I was waiting for one of the Dothraki to take out Jon in the harbor. He killed their Khaleesi after all, lots of glory for the revenge. Maybe they liked the whorehouses too much and decided to just go 'F it'
Tyrion could have happened upon her while traveling through the depths of the tunnels under King's Landing, before or after he discovered Cersei and Jaime's corpses.
A coworker of mine introduced me to his head-canon of the entire show:
It's a retelling of events as told from Tyrion's point of view. Which is why, in earlier seasons, Dany et. al were lesser-developed characters, it was all based on stories he had heard, or ravens he had read, etc, and it wasn't until he became directly involved in events that things got clearer.
It would also explain the unevenness of the wights, and a whole litany of glossy-details that he would only have secondhand knowledge of.

Grey Worn has shown that he is emotionally invested in serving Dany. It makes absolutely no sense that he wouldn't be devastated and murder whoever betrayed her/literally stabbed her in the heart.
It would be a more apt comparison if RotK was never completed, FotR and TTT were competently adapted to film, and then RotK was made up using Coles Notes from Christopher Tolkien and characters acted in ways that made no sense while the plot moved at double time.
Then it would be shit on, but people would say "well the Eagles were how JRRT would have written it!" "Frodo succumbing to the ring was telegraphed!" etc. while also having scenes where characters are clearly a half second from death, then a cut to a different scene, then returning to our would-be-dead characters battling heroically.
This is the best fanfiction ending while also shredding the show.

The sad thing is you're policing on them in every GOT topic. What's the difference?
You know what would be an easy fix? Just to cut the scene. It doesn't add anything we hadn't heard before. Arya reminded Jon of Sansa 2 minutes earlier, Tyrion ends with the same argument "think about your sisters". It should just have been Jon talking to Arya and walk directly to the throne room. He was on his way to stop the executions, but for some reason takes a detour to visit Tyrion.
Okay here's the thing about Arya traveling.
If there's no people there, then it's almost surely not livable as people will probably have tried before her.
If there are people there, then Bran knows everything about it.

There's a difference between killing the lord of winterfell then a couple of soldiers. One would start another huge battle and one wouldn't. Also we don't know how Jon broke the news to them about Dany. Could blame that on D&D tho
I still cant get over this
He can keep the one from season 2 for his contributions to the capital during the battle of the blackwater.
That is a particularly interesting take on what happens after the final episode.
It makes me wonder what will happen to The North, more than anything. It looks as if killing the Night King has not prevented what will be a long and brutal winter. How are they to survive it and maintain independence?
greyworm killed lannister soldiers because of danys orders. it wasnt his decision
I still cant get over this
Bran would have to know a point in history to look into for it, or fly a bird over the seas to see it. Without knowledge of where in history/who to look at, it's possible Bran doesn't know what's over there.
Lord of Winterfell? Pretty sure Jon has the ambiguous "warden of the north" title this season while Sansa is Lady of Winterfell. Lyanna Mormont was right. "What are you now? Anything at all?" I think he was just a concubine
Because Jon would be dead. He burnt his hand in the first season remember?
What's even worse is he wouldn't have known about it unless Jon immediately confessed to everything. Drogan pissed off with the murder weapon and the body.
Greyworm has been leading them for multiple seasons, Dany just gave them the direction. I think its kind of crazy to assume the unsullied or dothraki would be the incompetent for over a month, especially when Greyworm just got promoted anyway and clearly was quite capable of leading them.
She didn't give them orders they specifically said they were following her lead, this was addressed in the episode when Jon asked if she specifically ordered this. She didn't. I also find it quite a bit insulting to insinuate that the brown people couldnt figure out how to keep themselves upright if not for the white woman in charge when greyworm has been leading them into battle for years now. Thats a poor excuse and one that doesnt even make sense given the dialogue provided.
I mean they would have figured it out either way, but I think we're meant to read it as Jon waiting to be captured/admitting to everything
Presumably because Dany never ordered his execution. He rejected her plans and philosophy, but I'm not sure why that would merit a death sentence.
He convinced Jon to kill Dany, lol.
I'm sure they would do an investigation into what happened.
Has GW ever killed anyone without being told to? The mans always been a brainless soldier. He probably made one or two decisions on his own the whole series.
He was arrested for freeing Jaime, not dropping the hand of the queen pin.
The episode would have made more sense if Tyrion was executed. And Jon. The end should have been a mess of dead characters, instead of a mess of shitty plot.
Grey Worm might not be the smartest or most independent guy that ever was, but I'm pretty sure he could puzzle out what Dany was planning to do with Tyrion when she ordered him taken away at the height of her Imperial pep-rally.
"unable to make decisions or lead anyone"
closing shot of the unsullied (and presumably dothraki) is him literally giving commands and leading people. Yeah the brown people just cant operate at all without strong white woman giving them orders.
Why doesn't Bran pardon Jon the second Grey Wrom sails off to die on Naath to diseased butterflies?
Then if Grey Worm ever miraculously comes back Bran can just go tell Jon to hide under the sink until he leaves.
uh not all Unsullied are brown. Even Grey Worm's race isn't described in the books. The only qualification to be one is to get kidnapped as a kid and sold into slavery.

I knew that title was wrong as I typed it. Lol. He switches titles every season. He was almost a king too!
"Get this man a glass of wine, a bubblebath, and out of my sight"
*spits in high valyrian*
I mean the best part of this is Jon being in the north is all hes ever wanted so like him and tyrion both got the best thing they could have asked for right then and there, while greyworm just nodded and allowed it to happen to the two people who killed his queen. Shit is fucking whack.
immensely, watching her burn the trash-heap which is kings landing was indeed satisfying.
I didn't want her to do it, but her finally using her dragon to it's full extent was worth it.
Maybe they took the dothraki with them. Dothraki are dtf. Alarmingly dtf.
