I've never really aligned with the idea of pieces of this show feeling like fan fiction but that was a bit clumsy. Certainly did not feel very series finale like.
bran rolled up to the small council meeting, told them he was going to go play vr dragon time, and let them figure out how the logistics behind rebuilding everything from the ground up
A show I spent six years watching and (mostly) loving just ended and somehow all I can think about is some sack of shit out there is still logged in and using the official King of Queens twitter.
I’ve explained why I thought Dany’s turn made sense to a certain extent, but I always thought in the end that it would be handled in a much different way. I thought her arc would be more similar to Darth Vader’s (hero turned villain but ending with redemption) or that her burning people would continue on the path of being morally ambiguous. It’s not a plot hole or anything and it was obviously foreshadowed but it was a very strange choice to have her completely flip to being the target of fan hatred within the last TWO episodes. Like no ambiguity at all. 100% going out as a villain.
I refuse to believe for one single second you watched this show for eight seasons and didn't see that coming to the point of already making peace with it.
In a way, they really fucked their kids future by choosing Bran. He lives another 50-100 years or whatever, and then he dies and there’s obviously no heir to the thrown. By then everyone is ready to fight again and doesn’t give a shit what their boring ass ancestors did and everyone wants to be king again and the same shit repeats itself when we had like 9 people calling themselves king in season 2 / A Clash of Kings.
Two things I would have added: Bran insisting he isn't Bran "the Broken" - he could have been like, what about Bran the Badass or Bran the Bitchin... Guys? Also, Baby Night King to end the episode
In the end, George is a student of history and, well, what could be a more accurate depiction of world history than this.
