they weren't sure what they should do with the guy who just killed their queen. so let's just hold him for a while

killing starks in kings landing is a demonstrably bad idea.
ultimately they needed him as leverage.

I’d rather them explain how so many unsullied/Dothraki are still alive. But we could do this all day now couldn’t we? Episode was good, I was having a hard time picturing how they would wrap this up in 70 minutes.
yes, let's let the shackled, condemned imp tell us how to get a new king.
lots of
I'm with you...I just don't know if I'm believing either group has enough knowledge of westeros history to be aware. Greyworm being rational enough to hold him for leverage didn't seem very likely after the last 40 mins of ep 5 and the first 10 of the finale.

are you being this diplomatic just to fuck with me? cause this feels personalI'm with you...I just don't know if I'm believing either group has enough knowledge of westeros history to be aware.

there is a large, painful hole in this shows legacy and its shaped like the entire NK / Azor Ahai prophesy.
knowing that hbo offered the showrunners the opportunity to explore it thoroughly (they were offered 27 more episodes to do it in) and they just kinda bowed out is revolting.
but i also imagine the pacing issues they would have if they tried to develop enough back stories and subplots to get from like, season 4 to where they ended and stretch it into like 23 more hours of footage.
ultimately yeah i think it needed 1 (maybe 2?) more solid half-seasons to get the NK shit buttoned up in some meaningful way before we got to where we ended tonight, and that sits poorly with me, but really this could have been much, much more distasteful than it was at the end of the show and thats something to be grateful for i suppose.

After thinking for a moment...it is oddly satisfying to see Blake on such monkey tilt after previously saying this season was better than any other season of any television series ever.
Well done D&D, episode is 10/10 for me!
Settling the Kingdoms in peace after 8 seasons of blood and gore seemed really weak and lazy!
if they were actually offered 27 more episodes and turned it down, hbo should have gotten someone else to do it. in hindsight, that was a catastrophic mistake

greyworm is a trained soldier and tactician and understands that he doesnt want to be under siege and surrounded with winter coming. the queens greatest desire was to break the wheel. tyrion broke it. he has an excuse to let it go and live. so he does.
which is the broader theme of the final ep, ultimately.

this is a bit of a pandora's box, of course, given that they would need to 'read in' new talent and that grrm personally signed off on the showrunners themselves. and he's a fucking crank and world class procrastinator and very possibly has nothing to offer beyond what the showrunners just gave us.if they were actually offered 27 more episodes and turned it down, hbo should have gotten someone else to do it. in hindsight, that was a catastrophic mistake
consider this carefully, again:

was samwell grand maester at the end there?
nobody answer him
Was there anyone in the world that didn't know that jon would kill dany there? The writers couldn't have done anything to make that a little less obvious?
Oh and the dragon wasn't mad at jon but was instead mad at what the throne and the lust for power did to dany. This is the same dragon that burned down a city earlier that day.
I wonder when I wake up tomorrow and walk out my front door if I can conjure up a few thousand more unsullied.
im pretty sure dragons dont burn targaryans.
would have preferred it try to burn jon and he emerge from the flames naked and unscathed because genes but here we are.
