First 10-15 minutes were fantastic. Writing and performs for/from Tyrion the last two episodes were excellent.

Now to the negatives.
-GW was uncharacteristically emotional. I get it. Revenge for missy. Whatever.
-I guess the Dothraki multiplied somehow?
- So 3-4 people that were begging Jon to overthrow Dany and take the throne are given the opportunity to choose a king and NONE OF THEM EVEN MENTIONED HIM??
-Bran went from completely disowning all titles and responsibility to “why else would I come all the way down here? Of COURSE I’ll be king!!!” At the drop of a hat?
- what in the frick is Jon defending now in the nights watch? WW are gone and the wildings are friends.

I predicted Sansa ruling the north, I’m good with Jon in the north, I’m good with Arya exploring, and I’m good with GW going to Naarth to honor missy. I just absolutely hate how we got there. Just lazy.

Congratulations to Bran for taking all the credit for a woman's work and securing a promotion.

You make us all proud, brother.

I think that had to do with the massive unsullied and Dothraki forces still in town

i actually agree

i kept thinking if this show hadn't taken such a turn and last episode was the premier of a new series, that part of this episode was awesome

it just did an amazing job showing the scene and enormity of it all

also, on that note, apparently about 10% of the Unsullied died in the Long (literally one) Night

You mean the imposter who was not the rightful heir. Which I guess makes her a usurper as well since Jon was the true king.


Dont think the unsullied really care. She never treated them bad. She was for all purposes their queen

Dany’s army was decimated after the war with the Night King. More just magically appeared though.

Whose armies were still there in force because everyone else’s was pretty well decimated in the war with the NK. Yeah. He wasn’t going to get off scot free.


Except Dorne was there and they still had an army intact. I assume the Riverrun army was there now along with the Knights of the Vale. Not to mention Sansa was ready to do battle as she seem to think the north had enough outside the wall to handle Greyworm and his rebels.

Oh yeah, the whole Jon and the Lord of Light plot was entirely ignored.

Bran had to let it happen the way it did, otherwise no one realizes that anyone that wants to be on the throne, shouldn't be.



Also, Bran CANNOT see the future. He can have visions but doesn't necessarily know what they mean. Why do people keep saying this?

Ending would have been hella better to me if Bran's eyes were blue in final frame, he turned when nkght king touched him. He warged Drogon, did the killing to make Jon turn on and kill Dany


Gotta admit - That would have been great

The writers played it safe. That was weak.
