Would be another top contribution from BRAN

The best thing that came out of this show was probably the old school ww games where somebody actually had to post as Hodor.

Eh, the best thing to come out of this show was 4 seasons of elite TV.

GoT is the 10's version of the 00's Lost.

Episode was great in isolation.
It also unfortunately showed a lot of the holes of the previous episodes.

Also, it looks like the previously unquestioning faithful are starting to turn.





Came across this on the same page which I hadn't seen before:

its the same thought process. they just didnt like the last episode because it showed dany was bad and they want to root for dany. there wasnt any gain of critical analysis

I got pretty strong Arya died vibes too but pretty sure the producers never kill her that way and seems like it's set up for her to ride off and slay the queen

cersei got way too easy of a death

It's everything: the death of Missandei; the death of Dragon #2; the realization that the people of KL will never love her, so **** them; a desire for revenge and destruction on the people and place that exiled and/or murdered her family, that's been burning for 20 years or so and never really went away...

Plus women amirite

Jon has a long drawn out thought process of why he should kill Dany, then he does. The Throne gets destroyed. Somebody's eyes turn blue at the end of the final episode. ****ing hack writing bull****. Hopefully Arya will become immortal or whatever the face guy was.

Lol anyone who has watched Dany’s arc and are somehow shocked by this heel turn

This show literally started with her in exile with a king trying to have her killed for nothing she’s done and her being forced to marry a savage by her domineering brother and then was raped

And that was the first episode of the series

Watch Tyrion end up on the ****ing throne

Jon dying killing Dany seems like a lock

Honestly the memes on r/freefolk has truly made this GOAT series. Its worth it for all of this lol

is anyone shocked? Theyre mostly shocked just how terrible its been done. Like someone else said on reddit, it just makes no sense for her ignore all the innocent and then only light up the whole place when the bell rung. Much better to not have that stupid sniper crossbows to kill the other flying dragon in previous ep. have the two dragons sitting there whilst the bells are ringing, thinking theyve surrended, then a crossbow out of nowhere through cersei order then kills her child which makes her go insane and slaughter everyone.

All of it just terribly written.

People on reddit are writing better within 30 minutes of when the episode ends then these trash writers could come up with in 2 years

Confirmed very entertaining through 6 episodes

I read the same earlier on /r/asoiaf.

It simultaneously eliminates the super AIDS aimbot death of Rhaegal and gives Dany a much much more plausible reason to bbq everything.

It's such a simple change and makes the show much less terrible. This season combined with the fall off from S5 forward combined with Woverine Origins == D&D are hacks.

I absolutely will not be watching whatever AIDSfest they make for Star Wars.

It's a bad take though. Every theory/what should have happened by GOT fans is somehow worse than even the bad elements of the show. If Rhaegel survives Jon has to be staged completely differently the entire episode and his POV becomes very hard. His POV is very important. As much as I didn't like just about any scene with Euron, if he is somewhere else both Jamie and him have to be staged differently the entire episode as well.

You can't have Rhaegel survive but then Jon just not ride his dragon. You can't really have Jon survive his dragon dying while he is on it.

there are a ton of obvious complaints so far this season, but I dont get what is so hard to understand here. yes the aimbot death was stupid but past stupidity doesnt need to compound itself

dany herself said that those people didn't matter. they had no love for her, the only way she could truly rule westeros was through fear

she hopped on the dragon and destroyed all the anti-dragon weaponry before blasting through the walls, then incinerated the opposing army. the entire battle was over in like twenty seconds. she took the scene in for a brief moment then went to town on the entire city just like she said she would several times for many years

"It was a fake surrender that enables Cersei to kill a dragon so Dany continues fighting" is a massively weak fan theory take considering the entire point is that she has been wanting to do this for nearly 8 seasons at this point. So many people are trying to rewrite "how can she be justified into doing this?!" so that they can ignore the part about her being a bloodthirsty, vicious, war criminal tyrant.

It's not his dragon though, he'd ridden the dragon in a single battle....first he had already been relegated off the dragon for reasons last episode; Dany just as easily could have said he shouldn't ride Rhaeghal b/c his wing is healing...or more plausibly she's upset b/c he keeps withdrawing his affection and she feels alienated and orders him to lead the Northmen on the ground while she attacks KL via air with the two dragons.

Yea Euron and Jamie would have to be different but that's a feature not a bug. Instead of Euron miraculously washing up right as Jamie is sneaking into KL have him wash up near a Scorpion and climb aboard it to deliver the killing blow to Rhaeghal.

re: Jamie; pretty much anything else including him not even being there would have been fine with me. Him going back to Cersei after everything she has done, not the least of which was sending an assassin earlier in the episode, is a complete betrayal of everything we've learned about Jamie's character since late S1.

1.) If she had been wanting to do this for 8 seasons she could have bbq'd KL when she arrived and had full strength Dothraki, Unsullied, and 3 dragons.

2.) Instead, she sacrificed her ambitions to fight for the living in the North against the undead threat.

3.) If she was a blood thirsty war criminal tyrant then why didn't she have Drogon eat Jamie when he arrived in Winterfell? He killed her father; and his sister had just then betrayed Dany despite Dany's great personal sacrifice to convince Cersei to join her in the North.

4.)Why did she show mercy to the remnants of the Lannister/Tarly army at the first battle of KL if she's such a tyrant?


Again....if she had wanted to do it for nearly 8 seasons she simply would have.

She uh ... literally just did though?

You want it to be one way

In general it's not that I take such great issue with the fatalistic nature of Dany and Jamie, although I am not particularly fond of it...it's just not believable that we spend 8 seasons with each character where they fight against their baser instincts only for each one to embrace their worst characteristics in the span of an episode or two.

For Jamie with was a complete reversal of his entire character arc in a matter of minutes for essentially no reason at all. Just happened.

A lot of people think Dany was the nice, heroic protagonist and that is wild.
