So the sex scene makes the entire season trash? There's a finite ending to the story that they have to wind down in 6 episodes. My contention with this board is that they've already made up their minds. No matter what happens they will bitch and moan. I read someone complain about the dragon getting killed. If the dragon didn't die, then they'd be bitching about how predictable it was that they lived. People are latching onto other's perspective of the series and griping for no reason instead of just enjoying the last episodes and the conclusion of the story.


Not my perspective. My thoughts are there were so many opportunities for unbelievable scenes.

What if someone died in the Bron/Jaime/Ty scene?

What if Dany’s dragon did a U-turn and destroyed the Iron fleet?

What if Grey Worms bitch pulled Cersei over the edge?

Those are the scenes I got hooked on. Now it’s predictable daytime tv

Why did they think Cersei would surrender




If you paid attention, like at all, they clearly told you they knew she wouldn’t and their reason for asking anyway

Ghost became a key character again last week when he was shown for 7 seconds, and tonight, when a bloody wolf wasn't taken on a 3 month journey south.

Get with the outrage!!!!


It's only a fortnight. And can even be done in a week on horseback.

He didn’t fight for Tyrion in Season 4 because outside of Oberyn, no one who had a reason to would be dumb enough to fricking do so.

Missandei’s death at the end was a good scene. She obviously has no big role to play after it’s all over. Her death however does give Dany another reason to go scorched Earth. She was her only real friend and confidant. The scene where Dany looks over at Tyrion/Jaime/Brienne/Pod, Jon and the Wildlings, and at Sansa makes that abundantly clear. Who can she really trust? Who is her real ally?

The Unsullied follow her because she bought them/freed them, but they are just soldiers. The Dothraki follow her because they have no one else to follow and no way back home, but again just soldiers.

She really has no other human allies that aren’t soldiers that she knows she can truly trust.

If that means she goes “mad” and burns Cersei out, then so be it. Cersei deserves it and if a few hundred or a couple of thousand ignorant King’s Landings residents get caught up in the crossfire, that’s on them.

that whole scene, but this in particular, is the literal dumbest fricking thing in the history of this show

the only thing more stupid than this is the Dorne succession

I'm just really frustrated right now. 2 years. 2 years to wait on something that feels like such a rushed, poorly written story.

Did you watch the episode?

Tyrion is desperate and trying to slow Dany down, but no one actually expected her to surrender.

Dany didn’t. It was to show the people who was reasonable.

Why would they treat for peace

“Innocents”

Sorry guys, this show sucks now. What an embarrassment. Martin has to be dying inside


Maybe he'll actually finish a book now.

Can't let this be the end of the series!

I’ve been saying this since season 4 so you can piss right off. One of the worst gaps in the book to TV translation is the treatment of the north especially with regards to magic and the Stark’s warg bond with their wolves.

He’s just waiting for the show to end and see how much everyone hates it so he can write something else and say that was me his plan all along. What a hack.
