Game of Thrones (HBO)

As a counterpoint, I think this was the way to kill her.  This way it was a downfall she brought upon herself.  The was trapped and was forced to accept the fact that she was going to die, and it was her fault.  She has been so good throughout the series of denying and ignoring the bad things around her, but she can't do that at the end.  Much more satisfying than just having someone kill her.

And to think, we all thought they were playing coy and leaving the Valonqhar out because it would be too obvious.

FINISH THE BOOKS GEORGE

I've read fan-fiction that's better than this season, so already done lol

This show totes got Dextered

I really liked the finale.

I was gonna say, I'm fine with Bran being king. It makes sense, but he should have had his moment prior to this. He had an interesting character arc, going from almost pointless to a potential game-changer-badass, and it felt like they were shaping him up to be this fantastical badass. A character that would be essential to turning the tides of some crucial battles. But... it never happened. He just sat around for the last couple seasons. Seriously, how do you have a character who can take over the minds of animals and just have him sit around doing fuck all? How did it not occur to them even once that he needed to take over a dragon at one point or another? So that's an issue. He never had his moment. A moment that makes you go "Yes, make him king, he's awesome and did awesome things, plus, of course, being super knowledged". So yes, Bran as king makes sense, and I'm sure that's who Martin told them would end up on the throne, but they sidelined him for some reason.

When it came to whatever GRRM told them about where the characters ended up and who lived and died and how, great information I'm sure, right? Except they apparently had absolutely no idea whatsoever how to tell their stories that lead up to those moments, without his books or guidance. Almost completely oblivious in a way. It's the only explanation as to why they didn't take advantage of being able to do more episodes in these last two seasons, despite HBO offering them more episodes. You know, more episodes where they could have better developed these new character arcs.

So yeah, I also enjoyed the final episode. It felt good, from a perspective that it could have potentially been a great ending, imo. Unfortunately they fucked up all the prior episodes so much that it ultimately didn't really matter if the final episode was good or not. I don't think it was nearly enough to make up for any of it.

Damn that actually wasn't terrible.... Color ME SURPRISED!~!~

- Drogon is the character that has the most sense in the episode. he didn’t kill jon for killing daenerys, instead, he destroys the one thing that caused all this tragedy in the first place. I admit it’s a pretty poetic end to the throne. Hope Drogon lives a good life away from the bullshit that is Westoros.

- Bran: I can never be Lord of Winterfell, I can never be Lord of anything, I'm the three-eyed raven. Also Bran: I'm the King. LOL!

- Can't believe Sam invented democracy and they all laughed, but then they thought "Hmm yes, this insane teenager who stares at us all the time...my liege."

- Tyrion said in S5 that some maesters believe dragons are more intelligent than humans. I think Drogon’s choice to destroy the Iron Throne proves that may be true. Drogon understood that what Jon did was necessary. He knew that power lust had completely consumed his mother, so instead of killing Jon, he decided to destroy the symbol of what truly took his mother from him.



This season got a lot of flack for bad writing, and I agree with some of that criticism, but that moment and really this episode in general was absolutely brilliant.

Not a good finale in my book. Obvious, contrived, and resoundingly dull. All of the elements that made this show incredible for so many years were just brushed aside for happy endings and simple outcomes for complex situations. Two weeks in a row of losing big players in Cersei and Dany with underwhelming ends to their arcs. I think people have a right to be moderately upset about this episode, it was possibly the worst of the entire series.

Really? People disliked the finale that much?
