The GoT Series 8 SPOILER thread - enter at your own peril...

I think bran was alluding to his ravens finding drogon.

Also those wanting to read the last book, there’s two more coming and the fifth has been on its way for about 8 years or something, so you’ve got a long wait!
 
Have to say this shot was fantastic. Visual art.

Yeah that was best scene of the show for me. Awesome.
 
If we’re attributing Drogon with great intelligence, perhaps he knew what Dany did was fundamentally wrong... and that he played a big part in it... and that is why he let Jon live.
 
Furthermore, if Bran could just warg into Drogon like that, it would take away from the agency and intelligence of the dragons. You reduce them to beasts of burden, rather than magical, empathic creatures they clearly are.
Bran warged into Hodor. What does it say about Hodor?
 
Having see the last episode twice now I think that this was a fitting end to an epic piece of television. Time will tell whether its one of the greatest.

I will miss the little details that litter this series. Long Claws eyes change colour from time to time. They ended being red. I wonder what the significance of this could be.

I will give it a few months to start the whole series again.

Or he knew Jon was Targaryen and he couldn't burn him.
 
Personally thought that Drogon Danny frame was so on the nose I almost vomited. I was more impressed with the aerial shot of Tyrion kneeling over Jaime and Cersei.
 
Drogon thought the throne was evil as the desire for the throne turned Daenerys evil. So he took it out on the throne.
 
I also loved the Drogon waking from under the snow/Ash scene.

Yeah that was superb. This is why there were no guards in the throne room to protect Dany, as some people have complained. Drogon was her protection, rather like a sleeping fairytale dragon guarding a captive princess. And Jon being a Targaryen, he was able to pass.

Oh yeah that was a VERY cool scene / moment :smashin:
 
I'm not buying that either. If Bran was dragon-warging, they'd show it. Even if it was a tease at the end. But they never do that. We've seen Bran warg into birds, wolves and hodors but not dragons. And if he could do that, it would mean Bran didn't act when Drogon was immolating women and children- making him a bit of a ****.

Furthermore, if Bran could just warg into Drogon like that, it would take away from the agency and intelligence of the dragons. You reduce them to beasts of burden, rather than magical, empathic creatures they clearly are. Drogon's reaction to his mothers death was awesome and powerful.

Drogon could have killed Jon, sure, but that doesn't mean he needed to be forcibly prevented from doing so by bloody Bran.

All absolutely feasible - but I'm still not buying it :D

But I guess part of the joy is one's interpretation of a scene. And this is a show where it is uniquely possible. Like with the very end I've also interpreted it as Jon not returning. But he may well of course, we don't know for sure.

Bloody knackered now anyway after my 2am jobby, going to bed with some Thrones tunes.

The music this season has been exemplary.
 
The Drogon hide-and-seek scene was among my favourite of the episode too. A bit of symbolism to possibly be found there too with the snow and ash.

Pity there's no Lord of Light for Denerys Caesar. Funny how Jon experienced a similar sort of death earlier in the story. Also funny that this episode features an actor famous for playing Brutus (et tu Brutus) in HBO's Rome back in the day (Tobias Menzies who always plays weasely and contemptible characters, which includes his portrayal of Edmure Tully funnily enough).

Where will Drogon lay Dany to rest? Back across the sea to Essos?

Glad Tyrion got his redeeming moment. Thought he'd squirted and sloshed his wit and acumen away seasons ago and for a moment it was looking dicey. Guess being a prisoner again and the death of his crush brought him back to his senses. Was the pounding of the rock at the sight of his brother and sister's crushed corpses a callback to his recounting of the story of Orson Lannister smashing the beetles?

Got some bad vibes off Sansa tonight. Reminded me of Selena from the 80s Supergirl film.
 
Only a couple of things (slightly) bothered me:

Ep5 ended with Ayra riding off on a white horse, like it was some important detail. Yet there was no sign of it at all in ep6, why bother with that scene at all?

After seeing the Unsullied killing unarmed prisoners, I can't believe they'd let Jon live after he killed their queen, let alone take him prisoner. The fact that the scene was left out altogether seemed cheap.
The other bit which slightly irked me was when Tyrion threw his Hand of the Queen pin down the stairs, at which point I expected Daenerys to complete her murderous rampage and order Drogon to execute the last of the Lannisters in front the assembled hordes of bloodthirsty Dothraki and Unsullied.

Instead she has him locked up in a cell which must’ve been guarded by the same keystone Unsullied who allowed Tyrion to free Jamie in the previous episode :facepalm:
 
Well played Bran. Manipulated events to his own advantage & took the throne without anyone apparently noticing.

RIP GoT. I'll always treasure the first four seasons (and Danny's 'Triumph of the Will' homage :D).

For those still invested in Disney's Star Wars reboot, you have my sympathies on D&D's upcoming trilogy.
Even though GoT remained one of the most entertaining shows on TV, judging by how much it declined when the show-runners didn’t have any books to derive their plots from it wouldn’t surprise me if D&D do to Star Wars what Ridley Scott has done to the Alien franchise!

Jon stabbed Danny in the same place he was stabbed and leaves the dagger in place so lessening the blood loss. Just as Jon was resurrected by a Lord of Light follower from a stab in the heart so to will be Dany.

If Jon could be brought back from multiple stab wounds, how serious can just the one be? Drogon picked up Dany and has flown her off like an air ambulance to the nearest Lord of Light A&E department in Essos for a bit of resusification and some time in the ICU.

She returns either with the 2nd Sons or now, knowing what she does since burning Kings Landing, just does the job on her own with Drogon (who is now sporting an X-Men Magneto like anti warging helmet just in case).

Yes I agree, I just thought that Greyworm was pretty suspicious of Jon at this point and even if he doesn't know Jon is a Targaryen he knows the dragons are pretty comfortable around him, so just having Drogon guard the entrance and leaving Dany alone to smile at the Iron Throne wasn't his greatest idea.
 
So I'm away in Rome and placed myself on media blackout until I had watched it. Managed to download it and watched last night.

So after all that...it kinda did end like Dexter!

The Real Reason Fans Hate the Last Season of Game of Thrones

Thats a very interesting (if long) read over why many people (me included) might not have found the last few seasons much cop.

As for the last episode.

*sigh*

So many ridiculous bits that over shadowed the good bits for me and couldn't make up for the shortcomings of this episode as well as the rest of the season.

Don't get me wrong, it wasn't as bad as the previous episodes were (but thats not really a ringing endorsement) but things just jarred with me.

  • Why did(would) Dany spare Tyrion (oh yeh of course plot armor - they needed him to suggest Bran later on)?
  • Where did all the unsullied and dothraki come from?
  • How is Dani able to project her voice almost 1/2Km and still be heard clearly over wind, snow and noisy horses?
  • Bran? Really? Was that the best shock (OMFG I never thought of that) moment they could come up with? (except the bookies already had him as favorite)
  • Apparently the Dothraki and Unsullied were a OK with Jon killing their queen (this is the uncontrollable Dothraki killing machine, incidentally, that viewed her pretty much as a God)
  • Anyone explain why Jon, sent to the nights watch, decided to escort the wildlings N? They can't get there themselves? Forgotten the way? Needed their hands holding? More than that, why were the wildlings still there? What/Who were they waiting for?
  • In what, idiotic, stupid parallel universe would they make a sell sword, cutthroat, uneducated person "Master of Coin"? That's INSANE even for GoT? We've had Littlefinger, Tyrion and Mace Tyrell. Some of the most clever, intelligent people in the entire GoT universe oh, and Bronn :rolleyes:
  • Despite the carnage and destruction in the previous episode there's an awful lot of KL still standing as you get towards the end of the episode. And very little rubble or dust.
  • Tyrion finding Jamie/Cercei is so stupid it's laughable. So we're expected to believe he walks off on his own, walks to the keep, knows somehow magically to go down into the secret tunnels, can find his way into the exact room by creating/crawling through a gap and magically find Jamies hand popping out of the masonary. Not only would it be preposterous his hand would be poking out, that they'd be so near to the surface but it implies if they stood 10 foot to the left or right under an arch, they'd survive. I thought the Jamie/Euron coincidence was stretching credibility but this...
  • I'll not get into the whole "Council selecting the king" debacle. Seemingly though they can teleport and also have email and other instant messaging capabilities. There is *ZERO* concept of time with anything any more. Theres supposed to be about 1500 miles between KL and Winterfel so they wouldn't even know about what went on at KL for weeks and certainly wouldn't actually get to KL for weeks.
Theres more but you get the idea.

A better end than I expected but still woefully short of what I'd hoped for.
