Game of Thrones, Season 8 (spoilers allowed)

'Game Of Thrones' Finale, Season 8, Episode 6: 'No One Is Very Happy'

These have been very good.

 

I didn't hate the ending. Although I kinda knew he would, I don't like Bran being king. He basically started all of this when he decided to play peeping tom. I enjoyed the early season (3?) where he was pretty much not even shown and hoped they had written the character out. I think Gendry would have been the ideal choice.

- I liked Sam's Federalist Papers speech.
- My first thought was Jon got the shaft, but the more I think about it, he got a good ending for himself. He wasn't fit to be a king and seemed most at home with the Free Folk.
- I don't like how the Unsullied and Ironborn essentially had veto power over how things would play out. The Unsullied are newcomers, and there can't be that many of them left. Other than the fact that I guess Grey Worn had Jon prisoner, their demands should have been swept aside. The Ironborn have always been insignificant and either stayed out of the final showdown or were on the wrong side of it. As it turned out, the Unsullied and Ironborn turned out to be California and Florida in the Westeros Electoral College.
- The Dothraki needed to be put on ships back across the narrow sea. It's not like they are going to become farmers.
- Bronn got better than he deserved after the way he did Tyrion.
- I would liked to have seen more from Dorne. They sat out pretty much the whole deal and still had a place at the table in the end. From all descriptions, if I was king of Westeros, that's where I'd move the capital.

- Addendum: Why is there still a Night's Watch and a Wall for Jon to go to? The Night King and his army are gone. The Free Folk seem to get along with everyone.

 

Of course in Game of Thrones, only a sister would know this about her brother!

 

Congrats to JRoyal, who had 27 correct answers.

I for sure had 26 correct, and then we can debate if I get the +1 for saying "no one" ends up on the Iron Throne, which is literally true

 

Darn. I knew a couple of weeks ago that picking too many dead was going to sink me.

 

The spinoffs are all prequels.

 

The best possible use of that time was to let a great actor show his craft.

 

I thought I remembered reading that somewhere, but we can dream, dammit!

 

Does this mean I sit on the SJ Iron Throne?

 

You weren't watching the show you thought you were watching.

 

... which exists today in the exact same way the Westeros Iron Throne exists ....
