As long as Drogon got to burninate the thatched-roof cottages, I'm happy.

but also zizek is a clown. iirc he didn’t start out that way but act a fool for long enough and something something your face will stick that way

more ser wiggles fun:
when wiggles at last removes his helmet his little brother heaves a vast "fuck me" sigh and is clearly thinking and very nearly saying "this bad stars-wars fan service is bad and you should feel bad"

I'm a little stunned they never killed off Bran. He was the worst part of the books and show and I kept waiting for him to die.

bran is the leto ii of this story
here he is saying "just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in"https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/dune/images/8/86/Sandra-yagi-god-emperor-of-dune.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20190309191118

Hello. Not really been following the thread as not been on ILX that much lately. But this is what I thought of the last episode:
It was okay. Good bits and bad bits.
Funniest bit: Arya decides she's going to do a gap yah.
Most shocking bit: Brienne not waiting for the ink to dry before closing the book
Weird postmodern moment: People chuckling about democracy
Lousy: everything to do with Jon Snow and I mean every second of time he spent on screen
Also lousy: Lots of long expository monologues on behalf of Tyrion, who even as a prisoner seems to get away with giving everyone terrible advice
Lol: Bran the Boring is king? What the hell. And also Sansa manages to jammily wangle a runner-up prize without any sort of challenge
Corny: 'Oh no Dany really isn't a nice person after all, she has scary dragon wings and her army are all dark and scary and crazy and the music is ominous DO YOU SEE?'
Again, what the hell: How did they come up with that Council at the end? A motley crew of supporting cast and people from across Westeros who didn't really get along before manage to grab the Megabus to King's Landing just so they can decide what to do with Tyrion... How did he not just get murdered by Worm Tongue in the meantime?
But I still maintain this wasn't the worst series. It was flawed, logically. It was a hot mess in many many ways. But it was still entertaining and it constantly kept me guessing. I was excited for each episode whereas a few series back, I was ready to stop watching because it felt like they were just stalling for time by making characters do the same things over and over again each episode.,

I assume Charlie means from Yara for starters, who'd been promised independance by Dany herself and doesnt seem the type to just roll over when it doesnt happen.

Yara quaffing ale from an Iron Islands turret, later: "I really wanted that...independence..."

I imagine the new Prince of Dorne might have liked the opportunity also
― Number None, Thursday, 23 May 2019 08:23 (five years ago) link
that's what I mean. It's all 'yes let's have a united Westeros' and Sansa's like 'except the North, even if the king is Northern idk' and everyone's like 'alright fine'

The message of the show has been that power is inherently corrupting and that people with it will do virtually anything to preserve it and the very neat bow that the ending with tied up with felt like a betrayal of that.

THE END
… or is it?
― mark s, Thursday, 23 May 2019 11:08 (five years ago) link
ep 1 of the next* series will be arya stark landing on the iron islands in a tiny boat scudding before the wind screaming "these ones do water!" and then after her -- like that good scene in serenity, of the reaver ships coming out of the spacecloud -- millions and millions of raggedy boats bursting from the fog full of ravenous zombies from the uttermost west

People being surprised Bran ended up king: how did you not see this coming? It makes perfect sense.

Do people from like Dorne even know who the fuck Bran is?

Hodor was the only interesting thing about Bran.

also hodor is the interesting thing abt bran that proves he is worse than dany = he can control and destroy lives across all time

also this is still canon:

If the dragon was super intelligent I doubt it would be explaining things like in the meme picture above. Question would be how complicit dragon was in the massacre. "She made me do it"?
I guess people might be for years pestering GRRMartin and the two showrunners about exactly how much Martin told them about his official ending.
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Saturday, 25 May 2019 14:01 (five years ago) link
Maybe the dragon was trying to kill Jon but is nearsighted and has lousy aim? It might also explain the wholesale slaughter of innocents.
