HBO's "Game of Thrones"

[JCP201]

So that was a fantastic shot, where Jon was climbing the stairs, and Dany appeared, and Drogon spread his wings behind her, as if they were her wings.

Very nice cinematography.

they are definitely winning the Emmy for that. The Dragon scenes have been amazing.

Well....this season was a huge let down. JS doesn't sit on the iron throne or defeat the NK.....why was he brought back to life again?

To make sure that a mad tyrant doesn't rule the world/kill everyone.

I do believe they did a good job of capturing the moment of Danys death. It aligned with her visions. But after that scene it went down hill fast.

Bran being the Kong of the 6 realms is

Said it last week... There's is no throne, Jon goes North if he lives. And the game starts over with new players.

Well at least it gives a little validity to the strategy of protecting him during the long night...

The only beef I have is that they could have easily filled a couple more episodes. The transition from Jon killing Dany to all of remaining 7K leaders being there was much too abrupt. Likewise the choosing of a king was far too rushed.

OTOH - I don't doubt that GRRM had Dany going nuts (the entire thing has led to it), Jon killing Dany and Bran ultimately become king. So I don't blame the show writers for the core storyline. Just wish HBO had given the typical 8 to 10 episodes to finish it out.

Why were all the wildlings (and Tormund) just hanging out waiting for Jon?

I don't think she goes crazy if she never meets JS.

Yes - Bran had seen it all.

...and where were they supposed to be going?

He added to it but if you go back and watch from Season 1 she's got the destiny disease

And he did bring everyone together to defeat the ww's.

and saved the wildlings

guess he's going to be the new Mance Rader

Watched every episode and read every book. I guess I'm a little let down after HBO and the directors can screw up a great series that had the first 4 seasons written out for them. If the books ever get done I doubt they'll go in the direction the show went.

It was a literal to the fans...
This final season was awful and I tried my best to give it the benefit of the the doubt. I defended it till I saw this final episode. They gave us awesome until Dany and Jon's scene and then they just put a foot up our asses. Oh well, at least I was smart enough to wait till recently to even start watching this show. It was nice for 6 seasons.

Do you think GRRM wasn't going to have Dany go power mad?

Eh. I didn't take it personally lol.

Could have been done better. But don't have an issue with the resolutions we got.

It's not personal to me either but it was pretty bad. Could've been so much more but wasn't.

 

[Weezer]

Guys, we're TN fans. The years should have prepared us for this feeling.

 

[jakez4ut]

He gave them the plot points for this season and had said he "approved" how they wrapped it up.

Either you believe he said Fu to you, a fan, or not. If you do, you took it personally... Just saying

 

[VolNExile]

I’m kind of enjoying the wrap-up scenes. They’re very tongue-in-cheek.

—the exception of Brienne updating Jaime’s entry in the book. That was lovely and true.

But otherwise the very 21st century discussion is great.

 

[butchna]

Why is everyone so salty about Bran being the one to sit on the throne?

Don’t know...perfect choice. Unbound by personal ambition or family obligations. He himself his own intelligence network. And the system for his eventual successor set for the generations afterward. Subtly clever for them laughing at Samwell’s hint at democracy and Sansa clowning Uncle Edmure doing his own Brady Hoke impersonation.
