1. I’m ok with Arya killing the Night King


Ummmm, absolutely not. There are only four candidates that should have killed the Night King and in specific order:

1) Jon
2) Dany
3) Bran
4) Jaime

That’s it. Arya doesn’t meet any of the requirements of Azor Ahai/the Prince that was Promised, and if Jaime kills him that would make him Aerys’ biological son.

quote:

2. Jaime had to die with Cersei.


No, because then Cersei gets her way in the end. Jaime should have killed Cersei, and I’m pretty damn confident he will in the books if it is ever released. Cersei was on borrowed time on the show since I’m sure the Burning of King’s Landing it will be Faegon and Arianne that are the victims of it, and they leave those two characters out of the show which I think was a major frick up by the show runners.

quote:

3. The Unsullied should have killed Jon.


Ummmm, I mean logically they would have, but no. I don’t have a problem with where Jon, Sansa, and Arya end up with Jon riding north of the Wall, but I have a problem with how they got there.

quote:

4. The Hound and The Mountain had to die fighting each other.


Yeah, but I would have preferred for the Hound to kill the Mountain with a flaming sword.

quote:

5. Jon had to kill Dany.


Agreed.

quote:

6. Jon was never going to willingly sit in the Iron Throne.


That’s besides the point. That’s what makes him a good king is he wants none of that.

quote:

7. No opinion one way or the other on Bran The Broken as King. About as exciting as Edmure Tully.


Unfortunately, I can see GRRM making Bran king in the end. Him blowing himself as storytellers being the most important members of society seems like something this narcissist may write. I’m going to tell you though, he better have something better than this in the books (naively assuming they’ll ever be released). “Who has a better story than Bran the Broken?” Everyone, including Edmure Tully. Personally I just wish they would have gone back to the Seven Kingdoms in the end and there be no overall king/queen.

quote:

8. Drogon took Dany to Asshai where she was brought back to life by a Red Priestess.


No

quote:

Would love to see a short “Odd Couple-like” series featuring the “Master of Grammar”(Ser Davos) and the “Lord of Lofty Titles”(Ser Bronn).


Honestly Bronn becoming the Lord of Highgarden and the Master of Coin might be the dumbest fricking thing on the show. Bronn is illiterate for starters, and just keeps getting dumber from there.

I hated Jamie returning to Cersei. Just completely through away this arc that had been building. That being said, this is one of the few endings that actually makes sense. No matter how terrible of person she, no matter how selfish, no matter how evil she is... Jamie just truly can't let her go. Even after being with a good (albeit ugly) woman. I hated his ending, but it is fitting that they came into the earth together, they leave together.

Well Sansa should have had the North kill all of them and freed her brother. Because who gives a shite what grew worm wants? He's irrelevant and undermanned, there's no way he should have had a say how Jon Snow's story ends. Ridiculous.

with Jon riding north of the Wall


Dumbest punishment ever.

quote:

I actually like him sacrificing himself in the fire better. That was a very good end to their story.

quote:

Jon was never going to willingly sit in the Iron Throne.


What does that matter? He was willing to kill Dany, he would have sat on the throne.

He's all but said that that is not the ending. Of the million incredibly stupid things that happened in the last season, or last episode for that matter, this was the worst. I could rant for an hour, but yes, let's let Tyrion, who should also be in jail and not even allowed to speak make a 5 minute spill deciding who should be king. A disabled zombie. A guy that TWO EPISODES EARLIER didn't even want to be called Bran anymore, now wants to be king. The 8 season journey he was on was completely useless. "Why do you think I came all this way?" O stfu you came all this way because someone pushed you jackass. Good lord I get mad just thinking about it. GRRM is slow as hell, but he's a great writer. There's no way that's his ending.

Tyrion: Hey Jon, I'm going to talk to you into killing Dany. You have to do it. It's the right thing to do. When you do, im going to pick the next king, let them banish you, they are going to immediately forgot I had any role in this, I'll become the new hand and I'll live happily ever after. Make sure to pack your coat, you're going beyond the wall that is now torn down so it makes zero sense that anybody would willingly live there. But go live there with the people who worked their entire life trying to get on this side of the wall, they'll willingly go back. Later!
