I don’t have time to right now but some time in the next day or two I’ll find the excerpt from Fire & Blood about one of the Targs (I think) who went exploring west. It’s interestign and scary
At least Sheldon in the end realized he was a self-centered, obnoxious person, and used his speech to tell his friends he was sorry and they’re great friends for tolerating him. That is more tolerable than this.
I got some Narnia vibes at a few points, with Arya especially. It’s been so long since I’ve read those that I’m not sure I can pinpoint why, but it felt very familiar.
So is the lesson of this show that everything would have basically been fine if Cersei and Dany had been killed halfway through season 1? Once they were gone everyone seemed pretty chill
I can't believe Dany wouldn't have any guards around her. I get that the Dragon was outside of the traditional entrance but the room you're in has been blown open from multiple sides and you've killed a lot of people in this city for really no reason. (this is one of my nitpicks)
I feel like them moving on from Dany so quickly is very in keeping with the characters. They ignored and dismissed her until she arrived on their shores and then still left her to be Cersei's problem. Plus, lack of time (again this issue crops up) probably also led to it. I'll probably watch the finale again next weekend and see how I feel about it after that. I have to travel this week, starting early tomorrow so I'm all anxious about that, which kind of made it difficult to truly focus and understand how I felt about the show ending.
Nah, I think half of the reason why the nobles were prepared to accept the ending was that the years of fighting and destruction and dragons and walking dead and white walkers have them to the point where they’re literally just done with the madness and just want shit to be okay again. Without all that, I think the power hungry feeling is still there and etc. Except for Edmure. He didn’t get the memo. Lol poor Edmure.
The shot of Dany with dragon wings was probably the coolest thing in the show ever. That was really beautiful
Ok, so Jon gets on the boat, the Unsullied leave and are no longer occupying the city, why wouldnt he just go home lol
Lmao literally said that to my wife...I was like “he could just say she left with Drogon but he won’t because it’s fucking Jon”
Wait yeah, seriously. The North was allowed to just be its own thing anyway, as if every other kingdom would just be cool with that. He could just go live in the north.
Although I think most of Jon's frowning had more to do with him being ignoble and killing Dany, rather than re-joining the watch
I’m not sure how I feel about this as the ending of the whole series. I thought it was a great episode but where everyone ended up... I just don’t know. I think I’m happy with all of them except Bran being king.
It was definitely good of them to select the person literally incapable of empathy to rule the 6 kingdoms
