NFT: Game of Thrones series finale

eli4life : 5/19/2019 12:49 pm
Love it or hate it after tonight it’s all over. Who wins the iron throne? Who if anyone kills the mad queen?

Side note next week will be a special behind the scenes airing of the final table reading. Should be interesting.

I think both Jon and Dany die  
eclipz928 : 5/19/2019 7:20 pm : link
And no one sits on the iron throne. I laid my thoughts out on last week's thread, but basically the 7 realms become independent - lead by Sansa, Tyrion, Gendry, Yara, Robin Arryn, the unnamed Prince of Dorne, and Bronn.

Gendry and Arya on the throne.

Jon dies killing Dany and Drogon.

Tyrion is hand of the king, and he kills Greyworm.

Sansa lady of winterfell and ward of the North.

Bran doesn't become the NK, NK is dead (and only a show creation I believe), Bran becomes the 3-eyed Raven intertwined with a weirwood tree near Winterfell.

Brienne kills Bronn. Maybe a Tormund Giantsbane appearance either giving his life to save Brienne or winding up banging her.



What would he save her from? That story arc is all but done.
All story criticism aside,

the dragon effects of last week’s episode were pretty great.
Arya or Jon are killed while killing Dany  
bradshaw44 : 5/19/2019 8:51 pm : link
And the one who remains takes the thrown. The end.

(no pun intended given the show) every character to end the series? Took away everything they built these people up to be.
Where's that petition to redo the final season?  
Anakim : 5/19/2019 10:20 pm : link
What a bunch of hokey, sentimental garbage. That last episode was thoroughly unenjoyable, just like the rest of the season (with the exception of the penultimate episode).
Good lord

I feel like I was watching the end of a sappy comedy
i wasnt expecting much  
Mark from Jersey : 5/19/2019 10:23 pm : link
and was still disappointed.
Well the last 15 was just as bad  
5BowlsSoon : 5/19/2019 10:23 pm : link
Oh well, I’m sure some people loved the last 3 episodes and especially this finale. More power to them. I would rather love and feel thrilled more than feel let down any day of the week.
Is this how the books will end?  
RobCarpenter : 5/19/2019 10:26 pm : link
I haven’t been down on this season as much as others, but that was a dull finish.

The books - if GRRM ever finishes them - had better be more interesting than that.

shockeyisthebest8056 : 5/19/2019 10:29 pm : link
all of those people to death. Dany should've just let the Night King kill them all, especially Sansa.

Drogon sees his mother die and instead of burning the person who killed her, Drogon knows that the cause of her downfall was the Iron Throne so he burns it. Awesome. Nice to know a dragon has that kind of awareness.


That's about as forced of a poetic justice as I've ever seen
Thought they tied it up the best they could

The entire show made perfect sense. From Tyrion's reaction and throwing down his hand emblem, to Dany sentencing him to death, to the conversation between Jon and Tyrion, to Jon finally realizing that she had to die for the sake of humanity.

So...predictable?
Story feels like a giant waste of time to me  
moespree : 5/19/2019 10:33 pm : link
The end of this story feels very much to me as a study steeped in existential nihilism. These characters are insignificant in the grand scheme of things and Westeros is actually a never-ending dystopia set in a fantasy world.

I guess it's about as happy as any of them can hope for in the world they live in.

I took some heat for criticizing the writing last week...I’m sure there will be some here who absolutely loved this finale and will be upset in those who don’t. But that is okay....there are some here who are also mad at me for loving our draft and our future phenom qb. I have thick skin.
Anak  
Eric from BBI : Admin : 5/19/2019 10:34 pm : link
Predictable in the sense that there was no way Dany could sit on the thrown. That was predestined, unless you wanted EVERYONE ELSE to die.

That's what history is.
I'd argue her downfall was giving a shit about any of these people.  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 5/19/2019 10:36 pm : link
Dany, the dragons, the Dothraki, and Unsullied did the heavy lifting against the supposed existential threat in the Night King, then everyone said, "Thank GOD" she's gone.

I'm salty... forgive me. Everyone at that meeting would've been dead if not for her and no one gave her a second thought except Yara.

A few seasons ago, Tyrian said something that dragons are as intelligent as humans, if not more. The dragon knew the throne was her downfall and cause of all the wars. So he burned it.
It just wasn’t that dramatic  
RobCarpenter : 5/19/2019 10:37 pm : link
The finale dragged and didn’t have much tension.

I guess Jon killing Dany is the third “holy shit” moment that GRRM told the show runners.
I know it sucked when the biggest defenders  
UConn4523 : 5/19/2019 10:37 pm : link
got nothing for tonight. I can’t believe anyone enjoyed that episode or this season.
Tyrion finding Cersei and Jamie was a powerful moment.  
bceagle05 : 5/19/2019 10:37 pm : link
My favorite scene was Brienne filling in Jamie's accomplishments. Beyond that it was a little corny, but I'm glad Jon and Arya made it to the end.

Again, that was expected. Everyone and their mother knew Dany was a goner this episode. But the rest of the episode? Sentimental garbage that was not at all in tune with the previous seasons. That was the good thing about GoT: they cut out the generic, typical Hollywood bullshit and replaced it with raw honesty and realism. This felt like a Hollywood ending if ever there was one.
I'm not sure what show Eric has been watching

Wow, you're really wrapped up in this fictional character Dany, aren't you? Relative of the actress?
