Bran is a strange choice to be King. Hardly anybody in Westeros knows his story and even fewer would understand or believe it.

Jon given a life sentence in the Night's Watch is ridiculous because there's no point for a Night's Watch to exist. Jon seems to have realized this by exiting his prison via the back door.

Tyrion is hand- as a punishment. It's not quite as bad as some of his Small Council members. Bronn is so untrustworthy that if you allowed him to keep HighGarden, you should just send him there to rule and keep him far away from the treasury. Samwell as Grand Maester seems like he's been promoted within the Citidel a bit too quickly. And Brienne as Kingsguard is strange since Sansa is in dire need of someone loyal near her.

But Arya hopping on a ship and sailing west of Westeros might be the most out-of-the-blue and pointless character ending ever.
all this plus where the **** has Edmure been?

I thought most of season 7 was horrible but I rather liked the final episode. Bran as king makes some sense. Drogon melting the iron throne was a nice touch. The shot of Jaime and Cersei laying dead was beautiful, as was the shot of Dany with dragon’s wings behind her.

There were some big credibility gaps: As I recall it, the ice dragon destroyed the whole part of the wall where the door opens on the north, but it all magically reappears here. So too with the Dothraki, all of whom should have died at Winterfell and have now magically reappeared.

I wasn’t wild about Arya’s departure, but it was clear that she feels out of place.

Definitely a top five ever show based on seasons 1-4 with occasional flashes of brilliance since then in the Hollywood-dumbed-down subsequent seasons.

In no particular order:

1) I thought it was really good don't @ me
2) I wanted her to write Ser Brienne of Tarth
3) I didn't like that the last scene was ****ing jon snow
4) Jon killing the queen and paying with a **** life in the knight's watch was perfect
5) Arya colonizing the americas was weird but her arc functionally ended with the night king
6) I'm not sure I buy the unsullied just sailing happily off to the isle of nath but whatever they were all ****s anyway
7) The opening was a perfect add-on to the closing re: the horrors of war and cementing Dany's war crimes
8) Closure for Jamie/Cersei was awesome
9) Love Sansa as queen of the north
10) Dany's arc coming to its natural end was a little sad after her being the probable heroine for all the previous seasons but I dunno man, sometimes **** sometimes unravels fast, and the scene with Jon spelled it out for the mouthbreathers

That’s what I figured as well. Since he could ride a dragon, the dragon recognized him as his kind of human. I liked that entire scene except the whole, you know, Dany needing to die thing. At least my two favorite characters made it to the end and one survived the whole deal.

That was horrible. Queen Dany wandering around the throne room by herself, in the city she just destroyed, with no guards or protection anywhere. Jon walks up, stabs her, dragon gets sad, carries her off. Goodbye queen and dragon. Never to be seen again. Unsullied mad but not too mad I guess since they kept Jon alive in prison for weeks for no reason.

The scene where they picked Bran as king was just laughable. Tyrion's speech about how Bran should be ruler because he "had the best story" was so bad, I honestly felt sad that an actor as good as Peter Dinklage had to deliver it.

Arya decides to sail west because, why the hell not. King Bran says he'll go check on dragon whereabouts and leaves his meeting as soon as he shows up.

So, the Dothraki now live in King's Landing? And walk around like regular citizens?

They would never follow Bran as a ruler. The Dothraki follow strength and would only spit at a "broken" King. (at least Bran would never fall of his horse with his special saddle).


I liked Drogon flying away east. That's the right ending for him. Perhaps he just wanted to find someplace warm to hunt.


Greyworm and the unsullied will finally be defeated in battle after arriving on Naath if book information applies to the show.

Spoiler:
All foreigners die on Naath due to a "butterfly fever".

Hands down the worst ending of any tv show ever. Made Dexter and HiMYM look like The Shield.

A total ****ing embarrassment.


Good thing Arya learned the many faces.

Nailed it!

The Dothraki were loading up on ships at the end I thought. I assumed different ships from Grey Worm’s Band of Dour Eunuchs.

At this point, what is the purpose of the Night Watch?

Edit: Also, how on earth did Jon not get killed by Dany's army?

I assume they assist with loads of lumber going south.

The purpose is awful writing.

I didn't really understand the logic of allowing Jon to get a one on one private visit with Tyrion whose crime was .. conspiring against the queen.

It just occurred to me that "Arya's Adventures on the Sunset Sea" could be one of the future spinoff series.

I can't think if any other reason for her character to end that way. It's certainly not a "book ending".

Brianne finishing off Jamie's story was a great touch. Best moment of the episode. I was satisfied.

I thought the wall was destroyed by the zombie dragon? It looked in pretty good shape.

That was my immediate thought when she talked about wanting to go 'West of Westeros'. Seems like it was designed to open the possibility of an Adventures of Arya type show. And I'll take a hard pass on that.

How did people know Jon killed Dany?

why do they even raise and lower the gate to the North?

Only part of it was at east watch by the sea -- the main part by castle black was not touched.

this was the ending that GRRM had envisionned, the last 2 episodes were rushed as **** and not quite in line with last few seasons but in the end I thought the last episode was enjoyable and all in all, it was a hell of a ride

Except she didn't write down why Jamie killed the Mad King. (right?)

Well, Jon's an idiot who can't keep his mouth shut, so I'm sure he confessed to the first person he saw

-I was disappointed with the three week skip. I assumed that Drogon taking Dany's body was what was going to give Jon the opportunity to escape the Unsullied.

-lol Grey Worm holding Jon for 3 weeks without executing him. He was loyal only to Dany and we are supposed to think he was just waiting for a new King to take orders from?

-I'm surprised the Unsullied would be cool with Jon at the Night's Watch. Doubt they'd even know what it was about. Minor nit pick

-Sansa just goes, oh wait, North is independent, I'm gunna Queen by myself. Bran the Broken King of the Six Kingdoms now.

-Bran the Broken: Nice ring to it. Pod as his wheel man? Didn't remember them having a relationship. Might be the dong.

-I really thought there was going to be dragon eggs hidden in the Iron Throne and Jon was going to be their Daddy. Would of been cool. I guess Drogon knew the symbolism the throne held. Would of been perfect for the Bran warg.

-Arya going on her adventure really feels like a spin off set up.

-Looked like Ghost was missing an ear.

I thought it was an OK ending. A little to much fan service for my liking but to each their own. At least we didn't have any unnecessarily long action sequences.
