We are hours away from the finale. HOURS. How will storylines end? Who lives? Who dies? Who makes the last joke? Who’s in the last scene? What will life be like without another season awaiting us? We find out in a few short hours folks. Life won’t be the same without The Big Bang Theory.
feel like Davos honestly could be the last big shock of the show....i say that because I assume we are all expecting one of jon or dany to die, so while it would be a shock to see them go, i think Davos would be bigger mainly because the battles seem like theyre over, so for davos to die, he'd have to be killed by someone close. I think he's fully team Jon now after last week so I could potentially see Dany having him killed but idk, seems unlikely?? I think Davos is safe and ultimately assumes some position of honor wherever he lands once the ashes (pun absolutely intended) settle.
I don’t see the problem with this, the latter part I mean. Her entire backstory is littered with building emotional walls to not let anyone in because she secretly loved Renly but new she was ugly and was mocked as Brienne the Beauty her entire young life. She finally after years of trust building with the first guy she’s had feelings for besides Renly, let’s her guard down for him, and he ends up taking her virginity and leaving her to go back to his sister that he clearly never stopped caring about. Of course she cried! That shit would be heart wrenching. The virginity call out was a little dumber but it’s also drunk Tyrion taking notice of the way she’s looking at Jaime. It’s not unexpected there for him to pull that shit.
I would be forced to immediately start a petition wherein we demand that they reshoot that scene in this last episode and have the sword / arrow / dragonfire / Red Keep miss Ser Davos completely and he survives unscathed, or with a little bit of blood and dirt on him but very much not deceased.
Anyway. Send Daenerys and Dt Tbh I would have satisfied if she'd hooked up with Tormund. I felt like they were leading to that and to having her and Jaime be bffs. But also good on Tormund for taking it well and not being that guy
I think it's ok to show one of the strongest female characters being emotional. It's a common stereotype in tv/movies that strong female characters can't be emotional. That said, their relationship is extremely short-lived and the fallout, like a lot of things, would've landed better with a full length season. edit: Not saying anyone here was arguing that. I'm just drawing from the general online discourse I've seen.
I completely and utterly hated everything they did with both Brienne and Jaime after "The Long Night". I desperately wanted them both to survive that battle while I was watching that episode, but in hindsight, and seeing where those characters went, I would have vastly preferred if they had both died heroically fighting side-by-side defending Winterfell from the dead.
This show also has a problem with female characters being one extreme or another and failing at any kind of middle ground. There’s room for Brienne to break down her walls and show emotion at him leaving (like when she was knighted) without having her last major scene in the series be bawling in a nightgown in the snow. They deserve zero benefit of the doubt when it comes to how women are portrayed given the entire history of the show. If their relationship had been developed more and that was just one scene out of many it wouldn’t stand out quite as harshly.
Eh, I’m referring to her personal story more than whether or not she’s ever seen again in a professional context or in the endgame. I can’t imagine something else will happen that will speak more to who she is as a person than what we’ve seen already.
I think we get a goodbye from her to Jaime when she finds out he dies. And not a weepy emotional one but a classic Brienne no emotion type one. But the whole series her character was a woman who wanted to be a knight and wanted to find love and her story ended with achieving both. I don’t think that’s too bad. I think she knows Jaime did love her, even if he couldn’t love her completely. Edit-I should add her 3rd goal was to serve someone honorable that she believed in, but I think she was able to achieve that from the moment we met her haha. I guess Renly's honor could be questioned but Cat, and then her daughters on behalf of Jaime keeping his honor, and then Sansa herself. She's chosen wisely.
Her story is just like the rest of the season, fine on paper but disappointing at best and problematic at worst in the telling. Except for the knighting, that was flawless.
I remember thinking the 2nd episode of this season "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" was pretty flawless overall. *Edited to add that I just looked on Wikipedia and apparently David Benioff & D.B. Weiss are directing the final episode in addition to having written it.
Except for the specifics of the Arya storyline, that episode was very special and incredible. I would go back to parts of it out of context in a heartbeat.
I want to continue the Jon Snow being revived conversation simply because I don’t buy that it makes sense in context with the show’s rules about magic. Shouldn’t there be a payoff narrative-wise, not just talking about a literal pay-off for HBO? Lol
Well, he went on to take back Winterfell, be declared King in the North, and organize the armies of the kingdoms to fight against the Night King
