If Jon honors his vows on the Night Watch better than last time, his banishment means the end of the Targaryen line. At least that particular spoke of the Wheel will be broken.

well, up tot he point we found out he was a targ, the line was broken pretty much anyway.

and as for his Vows....he did die the last time...so, vow fulfilled? this time, doubtful he comes back South of the wall. and no egret waiting on him.

That was probably the point. No more crazy incest dragons to claim the throne

Jon left and gave them all a big middle finger...he is done with it all...I thought that was obvious.

Subverting expectations as the big fad is gonna run it's course, people are going to get sick and tired of watching stuff that has no meaning other than life sucks and then you die, or if you're really unlucky you get to have half your family get wiped out, then seeing your first great love try to kill you then dying in your arms, later dying yourself, saving the freakin world, and then as a reward get to hold the next great love of your life dying in your arms...after you frickin icepicked her in the heart.

I was replying to a post that said it was pointless (for the plot) to send Jon back to the Wall. Just them tying up a semi-loose end.

I actually like your version (I think it was yours) of him drinking Nattys and ice fishing with Tormund. 😆

If the Amazon Wheel of Time series is not killed in it's infancy by the backlash from all this, it is a great finished story...if they can just bring it to life onscreen correctly.

Yeah...that was me. That is my version of Jon at least getting some peace after all he has gone through to save the f'n world. Piss on em all.

Subverting fan expectations as the main agenda is the reason why Star Wars is in the mess it's in right now.

On another note...at least Lucas have us 9 freaking hours of turning cute little Ani Skywalker into Darth Vader...

GoT gave us a freakin episode to digest Danykin turning into Targ Vader..

we kinda talked about that last week. Jon, as he watched what Dany was doing pretty much lost faith in all of it. and no way he would be king at that point....would be easy to see him head North and not look back, assuming at the time that he lived while taking out Dany.....there were only two ways for Jon to go out at that point, imo, he dies or he leaves it all behind. now some of the choice was taken away from him by being forced to take the black, but i don't know that he'd of stuck around if it was up to him anyway.

i was a little surprised at how steadfast they made him in his loyalty to Dany this episode, but i think it was pretty obvious he was in a state of denial.....Good thing Tyrian and him had that talk probably.

I wanted him to turn his back on it of his own volition. That would have suited his arc to a T..but that would have been too cool for Martin or whoever's fault this is.

So my biggest let down of last night was the writers not asking the most important question "why?"

Why did the dragon melt the throne? The only good answer is because Bran's in a wheelchair and he won't be able to sit on it...but that's also a really dumb reason for the dragon to melt the throne.


I honestly think that was pointless, I get Drogon showing up and being upset...have him belch some fire in the air and still take Dany off. Just think the throne being burnt was a pointless addition that the writer's overthought would be foreshadowing and "poetic"

true, but we already knew the ending as far as ani/vader. and don't we all want more vader anyway? lol.

and star was is another tragic story. just has a way mor palatable presentation and ending.

and in the end, those episodes 1-3 Lucas gave us were just flat terrible. all cgi, no writing, no acting. the only thing those movies had going for it was the star wars story line. so we watched it, criticisized it, and moved on.

there were things about the last two movies i didn't like, but i was entertained. and i still appreciate the overall story.

i feel basically the same way about GOT. it was a fanstastic story....with a "tidy" ending. dont' think it was great. don't think it was bad. enjoyed the 7.6 of 8 seasons....

I was kinda hoping the final scene would show Drogon flying over land and a swarm of dragons show up. They definitely left spinoff potential with Arya but most likely just a nod to one of the previous season when they were talking west of Westeros.
