So we can all agree that the reason Jon didn't pet Ghost in episode 4 was because he'd read the script and knew he'd see him again in the finale, right?

Yes I'm sure that is what they wanted us to think. They are killing machines who know nothing else. Of course they are going to follow her, if she truly wanted to free them she would have given them a different task than meat shield.
I don't see why it matters why we only have one distinguishable Unsullied character. It's reasonable to assume that they are all loyal to her. In the show and books, her followers sometimes seem fanatical. Why assume that the other several thousand are less fanatical? The Dothraki are a 50/50 flip of the coin. Still silly to believe that they would simply coexist peacefully with the people conveniently ignoring their leader's death, when usually Khals would try to slice up a portion of the land for themselves.
How do you know that? Prior scenes indicated that she had around 50000 manpower available before the 'siege'.
It started Roberts rebellion and it was a major reason Dany snapped.
Cersei was crushed to death underneath the very castle that she sacrificed everything to take and Jaime died in the arms of the woman he sacrificed everything to love.
That is not cheap in my opinion.
I don't want Dany to take the throne, nor do I believe she will. I want her to live peacefully in Essos in a house with a red door and plant trees, but I firmly believe that book!Dany will die a hero against the others as redemption after accidentally burning down King's Landing (via lethal combo of Dragonfire + wildfire) and I'm okay with that. But guess what... if GRRM ends her story with her turning into Dragon Hitler and getting put down like a rabid dog by a man.... then he's a clown too lmao
As confident as I am that most character endings will be reflected in the books ending (lol, never coming out), bronn was only made master of coin because he was a fan favorite.
I wish it'd been winter all the time, any shots with snow in this episode were sheer poetry.
It is, in my opinion. She escaped justice from a lot of other people she hurt.
They showed he still had a huge army during Dany's speech. They had a say as it would have been war between them and the rest of the people on the council otherwise. Yara and the Iron Islands would have likely sided with them in that war as well.
She dies because she has zero sailing experience and the crew decides it's a fruitless effort after many months at sea. She refuses to turn back, they mutiny, she's killed.
The size of the various armies (and their locations) is completely arbitrary from episode to episode anyway. Severely weakened and depleted by the Night King one day, next day overrunning and occupying King's Landing no problem. Whatever the plot demands at any given moment.
Either that or that is why Kit had to have that emergency meeting with HBO to film that scene lol.
The way the last episode presented it. Her madness was not like the 'Mad King' who literally was insane. She just convinced herself that she is right and anyone who doesnt fight with her, is against her. She loathed the people of Kings Landing for not standing up against Cersai.
I agree it was bad execution. Its just labelling it as 'mad' is not accurate too me.
The death of Dany really made me profoundly sad. And when she was carried away by her dragon like a rag... man, it just felt so unworthy. I would've liked it so much more if her corpse was handed over to her armies and then they traveled and carried her to her birthplace where a large funeral was held with the people that was with her from the beginning. Her downfall is surely what she will me remembered for in the west, but not in the east.
I groaned out loud. Same as with the song of ice and fire drop. Just c'mon.
Like I said before, this season actually felt cheaper than any other because they never showed the people anymore. Thankfully they did during in the attack but even then it felt like there weren't that many people.
S8 should have been two regular budget full seasons, and rewritten to reduce the costs relating to the NK and burning of KL.
I just realized that Bran will be the first and the last Stark to rule the 7 6 kingdoms since with the north now independent they can no longer put forth candidates or vote on one for that matter and since Bran cant have any kids he also cant start a off shoot house to side step that matter.
He took his rings off before getting executed, I guess some people thought that was some big plot point?
All the defense you'll get is that these things are not important and that you are nitpicking
Shit is wild
His rings was nothing, he just removed them to die as "one of the people".
The stupidity was zooming in it.
He was taking of his disguise. It didn't really make sense because the show never implied his 'master of whsipers' was just one of his many costumes like the book did. It was supposed to show he was going out as his true self.
- the whole point that the story was driving to though was that blood shouldn't make someone a king. And that was borne out in the fact that they all got together and voted on a king. Jon's claim meant nothing, and that was the better outcome. In addition, telegraphing that far ahead to a foregone conclusion is just boring storytelling anyway, if Jon was made king. I do agree that it only mattered in that it made the conflict between he and Dany happen, which was integral to her downfall.
- he's the three eyed raven. ?
- he sent them to many higher ups i'm sure, but in the end it didn't matter anyway since they were done with king by family.
- agreed, we should have had more episodes.
I just feel completely indifferent and empty inside after watching. It wasn't a total disaster and it wasn't particularly enthralling.
Moments like who became king of the realm should have resonated with me in a powerful way and instead I felt nothing.
I am grateful for this show existing though and it's been a hell of a ride up until this point

Is this the part where you imply I'm a rabid Dany stan because I think her "arc" was sexist bullshit?
Im pretty sure the creator of Daenerys Targaryen knows her arc and character better than anyone else.
Just because you don't like that she probably will die in the books to doesn't make him a clown. It means that you just don't like it.
I could ramble on and on about individual characters and things that just didn't make any sense, but I just felt like no one had a satisfying conclusion.
All in all, I'm sad to see it end. It left us on a low point, but I'll never forget the highs. An incredible achievement in televesion production that won't be topped for a long time.

Dead is dead. And she died broken, scared and defeated. She also suffered a painful death seeing as she was crushed to death by falling debris.
How is Dany burning her alive or Arya slitting her throat in any different? What would have been "justice" in your opinion?
To have her turn into Dragon Hitler and be murdered by a man after everything she's gone through would be a sexist narrative. I don't know why this is so hard to understand.
According to r/gameofthrones, apparently GRRM responded to this blog post from 2013 with "This guy gets it" regarding Dany:

.
That's irrelevant to how the show executed it. They ruined the character with how they did it.
Being ruthless to her enemies does not equal committing genocide so idk what you're talking about lmao
Im not talking about how the show executed it, Im talking about Dany will die both in the show and in the books. How, why and the steps toward it will be different.
I assume fAegon will play some part in that.
Was the fact that nothing has been explored or mapped out beyond Westeros ever explained in the books, or is it just something the show created to give Arya something to do? Seems hard to believe that none of the sea-faring Ironborn, or anyone from Westeros, ever decided to sail west.
How do people not get this? Him going to the Wall was a formality. It was to get Dany's followers to go away and let Jon live out his life where he felt comfortable. It was a "sham punishment".
Agreed, but do you think they went a little overboard with the glitter/sparkle with Edward?
I'm just kidding! Obviously GOT did it better :-P
