Jamie killing Cersei wouldnt make sense to me at all.
― nathom, Sunday, 19 May 2019 20:22 (four years ago) link
I could maybe see him killing her because he would prefer that to her inevitable execution or killing by someone else?
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Sunday, 19 May 2019 20:24 (four years ago) link
Or accidentally killing her.

Although I did kind of want Jaime to kill Cersei and Dany to lose her shit and be dealt with, I'm a little perplexed by the enthusiasm some viewers have for these kind of endings because they seem a bit too obvious and maybe only interesting if there are good enough additional aspects or moving close to the trope but then sidestepping it. Cant really be bothered with simple "oh dear, killed by their own flaws" or "oh dear, they can never change" endings.

Would have been obvious yes but at least more of a compelling ending for both characters? imo
― Evan, Sunday, 19 May 2019 20:50 (four years ago) link
I don't have much preference for Jaime's ending, only that the handling should be good and not too simple.

Spoilers:
The part where Drogon burned the throne! Who knew dragons were so literal?
Ha ha ha ha aha aha! I had to legit stifle laughter through this entire episode. What trash!
This made the Ewok dance party at the end of Return of the Jedi look like Citizen Kane.

I have a confession to make.As soon as jon and Dany kissed, I picked up my phone and completely stopped watching my tv. I had completely given up on the show and didn’t care anymoreAnd then I looked back and Dany was dead on her back with blood out her mouth and nose and I was like, what the fuck is going on.I rewound twice, not going far enough back to see Jon make the move with his dagger. It was the third rewind that I went far enough back to see what happened.

we did all this to basically hold a student council election
Thought it was weird that when Sansa was like "we're gonna be independent, deuces!" not a single other House was like "oh, yeah, us too, this seven kingdoms thing is pretty new."

d&d have a bad habit of confusing stretching out a scene and giving it meaning. honestly, they could've cut ten minutes of silent starting out with a single simple pass and it wouldn't have impacted the episode in any way.

I mean the ability to tell a story about someone isn’t what they did, it’s what makes their story fit the role they end in. Writing of history, etc
If there’s anyone suited to ride off into legends it’s Arya imo

I like the ending conceptually but it was carried out pretty clunkily. Made sense for Jon to end up with the free folk. I feel like if they had either taken a few more episodes or spent a bit more time writing good dialogue instead of blowing it all on CGI spectacle and long shots of silent brooding characters they could have nailed it, but they just kinda half assed it at the end. And they didn't have the books to reference, which turned out to be pretty critical.

I thought people complaining about the wolf a few episodes ago were missing mistaking a painfully obvious script hook for outright incompetence and it turned out that way. If you’re writing from both the beginning and the end, it’s both cheap and easy to leave people wanting in the middle because you’ve already written it in the last act.
― mh, Monday, 20 May 2019 04:35 (four years ago) link
I guess I can forgive the Bran as king thing since it’s clear that Tyrion is running shit while Bran tries to warg a dragon.
