Game of Thrones VIII

[Game_Breaker]

The memes have been much better than the episode itself.

Can’t wait for the Star Wars trilogy, apparently Dan and Dave are getting Ruin Johnson in to help write the script.

I can imagine the explanation of the ending now:

“While our heroes kinda forgot about the Death Star...”

Those f**king butterflies are in for a bad time, he and the Unsullied are going to wipe the f**k the out, which is a needed release after they

*checks notes*

let their queen get murdered, didnt take any retribution what so ever, didnt gut the man where he stood once he confessed (a confession we didnt f**king see) waited idly by for the lords and ladies to come to a city they conquered and owned, to decide a new king, who was the cousin (or half brother, pending on what you know) of the man who murdered your queen, and then he basically pardoned the man and you were like "well f**k, you win some and you lose some i guess... f**k this shit, lets got to Naath and f**k some butterflies up"

Oh also, those f**king butterflies carry an insanely deadly disease that effects all people who arent local to Naath (and i guess have evolutionary immunity to Butterfly Fever) so yeah... tough scenes for Grey Worm

GRRM just said to imprison him on an active volcanic island if he hasn't finished Winds by July next year:

My mum is as up to speed as I will ever be on these books and she died seven years ago.

I have accepted this fact. We are never getting another book no matter what GRRM says. He has written himself into a corner.

Hasn’t he set deadlines before

Most famously, he claimed he would be done by October 2015...

“The council of surviving characters” so appropriate..

Still didn't get to find out what Podrick did to the girls.

Now that a week has almost passed, I'm genuinely saddened by how it all ended.

This was a cultural phenomenon the likes of which we'll never see again. It was for years almost perfect television. And it outstripped Dexter for the most unsatisfying ending of all time, wholly and solely because the two guys running the show wanted to leave and work on Star Wars and were too arrogant to pass it on to someone else to finish.

What an absolute act of cinematic vandalism they perpetrated.

one thing I did like from the finale was this shot, it did look awesome

I'd say one thing this season did really well was one-off visually stunning shots

Music was awesome too

Also Brianne and Pod had Raven symbols on the armor surely that indicates Bran is and has been in control of everyone's destiny for a long time.

Jon Snow probably had the best outcome really he is free of all the politics he can go live a normal life. The shot of green growing beyond the wall is a sign it that spring is here even north of the wall. Probably since Night King was created.

I literally just started rewatching the show from S1. To remind me of the good times.

I intend to watch S1-S4 because they were just incredible. The pacing was perfection and the show back then was about the finer details.

The little interactions between Littlefinger & Varys, and Arya & the Hound, and Tywin & anyone, and Robert Baratheon & anyone, and so on.

Just freaking awesome, timeless television. Never to be repeated.

S5 was still very good. And from memory S6 was actually quite awesome as well; with the Battle of the Bastards being one of the greatest things ever commited to celluloid.

So we still have 50 odd hours of fantastical tv to rewatch over and over.

Though it is indeed such a shame that the last two seasons decended further and further into a shambles.

Oh what could have been.

Probably since Night King was created.

Not sure if they'll ever explore past the show but my theory is the night king isnt dead, he just has to "restart" back far beyond the wall and build the army back up

There was already a first long night, that everyone obviously survived so someone must of killed him before?

Or they are just another race that can actually have agreements with men because they obviously did with Craster and Jeor also knew about this agreement. I have always wondered whether the night watch was actually created to stop men from going north rather than to stop things coming south. But with all the wildlings and the death of craster which stopped the walkers creation line, men were the once who broke the pact.

This is the problem with the last 2 seasons it's there were no explanations for why things were happening. It's like they skipped a season worth of episodes for us to just somehow work it out. I don't mind the last episode. What I do mind is whenever say someone like dany lost something like a dragon she needed an episode where she went mad for a day but calmed back down then every time something else happened her madness lasted longer. All the outcomes make some kinda sense but without characters like littlefinger playing both sides the whole "game" seemed to stop being played and things just happened.

It would've been cool if Littlefinger somehow wasn't exposed and survived until the last episode
We could of got him and Varys bickering together again and then had him try and make something out of the whole Dany going mad thing and the council/election at the end

Didn't Vary's say that Littlefinger would be king of the ashes if it meant being king? well Kings Landing was ashes
