Just want to hammer this home

quick reminder that the run-time for the last ep is 79 minutes, so this whole fucking thing has to somehow make sense in 70 minutes flat.
it will make sense inasmuch as jon taking the throne will be what we've all been expecting, and he will have "won the game of thrones."
despite my semi-positive outlook on this season, though, i can't imagine an ending that wouldn't make us feel like we needed between 5 to 6 more seasons.
the best we can hope for the finale is a lot more dragon porn

I just watched the episode because was too busy popping bottles last night after winning 76ers +6.
Anyways, was K. Still better than anything else I would have watched. Like others have noted, it is a little heavy on the action, and a little light on the interesting storyline stuff, but not a super big surprise there.
My main grunch is a predictable one (for me). They made Tyrion, Jon and to a lesser extent Jamie little bitches. I get the whole #girlpower movement, and by all appearances it seems GRRM wanted to make Dany, Sansa and Arya strong characters independent of that. But every white, male character is a little whiny bitch, really?
I already had to give up on Netflix cause it was all cultural Marxist nonsense, but God damn HBO too?
And I'm pretty sure there was on offer to extend the series even more a couple years ago, but these nerds declined. I'm assuming they declined to try and cash in on another project as quickly as possible. What Sonatine said about the post source material nosedive is the truest thing in this thread.
Probably would have been better if GRRM had just completely given up (or died), and then another fantasy writer could have taken over his notes and written something decent.
This is what happened when to the Wheel of Time series when Robert Jordan ran out of steam.
But yeah, actually making up a fantasy/sci-fi story is hard, which is why noone even tries anymore. We just rehash the same stuff over and over.
That being said, I am pretty pumped for the Dune remake that is coming out in a year, even though Paul is being played by some twink who is famous for doing some gay Euro bicycle riding movie I am never going to see.
this is the worst take in this thread. GOT literally killed off the only black person on the show last episode and now just when we might have a respectable woman in power -- to replace the evil one -- she goes crazy cause she's female and jon scorned her. bitches amirite?
and she will almost certainly get killed by a white male.
SJW's and liberals in general are already killing GOT for these exact reasons and somehow you came to the opposite conclusion.
so when does Westworld start up again???
After the first two episodes and I guess probably after last season, I just resigned myself to accepting the show for what it is - a soap opera with dragons. So after 7 seasons of character and plot building we get to watch Luke and Laura get married and figure out who shot JR. That being said I thought last night's episode was the best of the season start to finish. It paid off a lot of the arcs/plots and brought some closure to things we needed closure to. Was it perfect? No. Was it fun? Hell yeah.
let's not forget GRRM and HBO wanted to do 10 seasons 10 episodes a season.
lets also not forget that there is no such thing as an iron throne anymore, because its buried, so unless there is like a 2 year timejump where they cleared out the rubble and found it, that shits probably off the radar for good.
whats more, blondie wanted dragonstone to be the new center of the GoT universe.
and because no one and nothing is left to kill the flying nuke metaphor im not sure we can rule out something insane like, again, bran creating a new night king. which btw he totally could because he can time travel back to observe the magic that created the first one.
so jon being executed early would imply thats in play if his body is heading back towards the crypts.
but if jon lasts more than 30 minutes im just going to assume she tells her dragon to burn him, the dragon refuses, and jon assumes control of the nuke and an indian movie style musical number begins where they all do away with a centralized authority all together and embrace all genders, sexual orientations, and races just to fuck with verminaard.
He literally said this after episode 4 when the iron fleet ambushed Dany and killed rhaegal.
Dany kind of forgot she is not here to be queen of the ashes...

he looks like he really hates having to say things like that and it makes him super sad.
shout out to literally everyone hating the last episode.

shoutout to arya riding off on a horse with no name
SJWs and libs are gonna be outraged about everything. It is impossible to appease the mob once it smells blood. My post isn't much about Dany. It is more about how all the white males became little whiny bitches. Especially Tyrion.
I actually do find it amusing the SJWs are upset, because I am pretty sure this entire last season was for them. Remember, the show runners wanted to do some sort of slavery series after this, and got roasted by all the SJWs because they are white. So I do find it amusing they probably went off the deep end to appease the SJWs making the women generally strong and the men generally weak, and it backfired anyways.
