I was actually starting out a Tyrell Fanboy.
A great economy, good military, it was the America of Westeros.

I am now wondering how accurate are the bullet points George-y boy gave to the showrunners how this finale would play out.
The End....House Stark won it all.
Quite the reversal from the Red Wedding.
Quite the reversal from what happened in the ending of Season 1.

Fuck me, I was still rooting for Hot Pie to take the throne!
I'm glad Drogon wasn't killed. It would have been stupid and lame.
EDIT: My son is named Bran because (in part) of this series/the books/it was the only name we both could agree on, and now he is king.
And so is my son.

Jon Snow finding the home of the white walkers.
Arya visiting the new world.
Sansa as Queen of the North.
Bran, Tyrion, and the rest fixing Westeros, and possibly the East as well.
Damn HBO and their sequel baiting.

My question is the same. For what purpose? The wildlings are severely reduced in number and likely won't be a problem in future. And the White Walkers are all dead. There doesn't seem to be much of a purpose in having a wall, let alone people to watch it.Samtemdo8 said:
Also, I think Cersi got off to easy. Considering all the people she's killed to get where she is.
I mean, there is no throne left over. So it's kinda hard to say who won.Samtemdo8 said:
"Hey, we need a new king."
"I've got an idea: let's pick someone with no experience of ruling and probably unable to reproduce due to his injury thereby giving us a potential succession crisis in a few decades."
"Er... hooray?"

Which ironically was the same problem they would have had with Dany, but at least she could have designated a successor beforehand and just said "I'm queen, my rules and oh, DRAGON".Agema said:
Technically he has ALL the experience of ruling and can reproduce by passing on his Three Eye'd Raven abilities to the next individual that shows affinity towards it.Agema said:
They haven't elected a king, they've elected - in effect - an immortal with the sum of all history and his previous lives behind him. As out of the blue it seems, he does present the realm with the most stable rulership imaginable.
I don't think small numbers would lessen any hysteria about Wildings. I could see Sansa using them to rile up her people. Possibly that is dependant on how much people remember Wildings helping them. But being helpful doesn't stop people IRL blaming all their woes on immigrants.CM156 said:
And here I thought Jon was gonna die heroically against the Dead.
Dany becomes Queen and is pregnant with Jon's Child....

Yeah HBO Rome was better then this.
Also is it me, or Bran is looking a lot like Octavian in this episode?

The current status of America aside, the Tyrells don't have a good military. They may have manpower, but they're not good at using it. Take out the Tarlys, and we see how they crumble.Gergar12 said:
You kidding? The Seven Kingdoms are facing winter and foot shortages, you want to amplify that with that guy on the throne?the December King said:

You really think any of that apart from Arya is really sequel baiting?Gergar12 said:
The way they tied these storylines up in the last episode was really meandering even a bit boring. GoT's strength was always in the build-up to important moments and that was lacking in this last season, though earlier episodes compensated for it by amazing spectacle. Even Jon stabbing Dany in the chest felt like it ended on a whimper espescially since everyone immediately returned to business as usual, and it's not like you couldn't see the 'betrayal' itself coming from miles away.
Each of the Starks went their separate ways with Arya and Jon probably never being seen again; similar indifference. And for what? The unsullied without their dragon don't look like a match for the north so grey worm's threat sound a bit hollow. But I guess Jon is fine with being some kind of medieval Moses now? I did find the way they humorously wrote off democracy pretty funny, but eh maybe it was the delivery of that one bloke. Even the dragon casually leaving the building after melting the iron throne didn't have any kind of dramatic impact.
To me the entire episode felt like the opposite of sequel baiting. It's a show really way past it's creative peak with tired dialogue and just general ennui among the main characters. It's just that the past episodes were mostly so full of action that the visuals alone could carry the show. Even in the last episode that was it's best part. Espescially with the falling ash and Dany standing above the ruined stairway with her banner and the dragon closing in on her from behind like she was the one having wings making her look demonic. Just beautiful stuff.
But well it's about the journey not the destination and the show had highs and lows but in general I found it incredibly entertaining. I don't think any other show has ever held my interest for that long.
