They should have made a spin off series with Arya..west of Westeros. Or something like that.

2024-08-24 00:18:10 +0000 UTCCersei was definitely a lost cause. The people in the city themselves, those who likely don't even think about the Game of Thrones because they are literally struggling everyday just to survive, not so much. Before Dany torched everything, we could clearly hear people yelling to ring the bells. She knew they surrendered, but chose to kill them all anyway. She could have just gone after Cersei. Just fly your little crazy ass over there without burning everyone, the guilty and innocent alike, and take out the actual threat. Queen of Ashes indeed, and she was loving it.

2024-06-26 16:16:35 +0000 UTCI agree and disagree. Yes to him being treated badly contributing to the piece of trash he already was. He was morally right in killing the Mad King (and maybe he even decided to commit "treason" because he saw this as morally wrong), unfortunately many people couldn't see it that way. As an aside, Jamie wasn't sent to the wall for killing the King, so I really didn't understand why Jon had to be. Bran is the King. He could have pardoned him. Having said that, I disagree in that it was after this that he was corrupted and turned into trash. He was bumping uglies with his sister long before he took out the Mad King. He and his family didn't become plotters, schemers, and corrupt AFTER that, they already were. If I'm not mistaken, I think that every single Lannister at some point talked about how they didn't care about the common folk and how they were beneath them (pretty sure Marcella and Tomen never said anything like that though). Just about all of the lords and ladies seem to feel this way. Look at the way people were laughing and talking after Sam promoted democracy. In my opinion, Jamie's family then coming into power definitely gave him, and frankly his entire family, free reign to be that garbage person he already was.

2024-06-26 16:11:48 +0000 UTCOoohh... Just noticed. Dany never actually sat on the throne. Just touched it and then turned when Jon came in and never even sat the throne. Sorry if this was already said in the comments.
Denise Mattsen
2024-06-26 14:25:39 +0000 UTCI know it seems like a waste of time, but I would go back just to watch the intros. Changes happen to the intro following each event. For example, when the white walkers breached the wall, in the intro for the next episode it showed that the wall was down. It also showed the progress of the white walkers (if you noticed in this intro that the ground from the wall to Winterfell was an icy color), and when they were defeated, it showed that their progress ceased. Might be worth going back and just watching the intros as it is pretty clever how they do it.

2023-11-07 22:05:16 +0000 UTCI'm late to this conversation, but I've just finished all your reactions! I loved them! Excuse the essay 😂 Unpopular opinion but I loved the ending to the show. It was anti-climactic and felt weird, but, once I got over the fact that most of my feelings were because the show was over, I actually saw the ending as what 'real life' would feel like post-war/disaster/crazy events - anti-climactic, weird and strangely disappointing. And, for me, Bran being king goes along with that - because he's so un-kingly and detached (and knows the past, thus knows not to repeat past mistakes), he's bound to be a good ruler. On a side note, there are complaints that he could have stopped the whole thing, but I'm not sure he ever says he can see the future - just the odd vision of it - rather, that he knows all the memories of people (the past) and what's happening now. So I think his knowledge of being king happened in the 'now-future' after Jon made his decision to kill Dany. I don't think it's nepotism with Sansa. Bran isn't really Bran Stark, as he said when he renounced the title of Lord of Winterfell when he came back from the North. I think the separation of the North was a good thing anyway and I don't think he'd agree if he thought it was a bad idea because he doesn't exactly mince his words. Sansa is the legitimate heir and she fought for the North. She'd already proven herself as a ruler, so it wasn't surprising. In any case, nepotism is still what their world is based on - even if there are some new houses now. Along those lines, my absolute favourite bit of the episode was Sam's suggestion of democracy 😂 I, like you, saw Dany's issues from the beginning (in the books and series), so that didn't surprise me, either, and I didn't think she'd be the best ruler unless she did a 180 and really learned to listen to advice. Her foundations were with her messed up, entitled brother, who abused her and instilled the ideas of their 'divine', entitled right to rule; which the dragons cemented in her head. And her power grew in a very different environment to Westeros, which would be difficult to apply. I also always felt that the dragons and dire wolves came to help with the White Walkers vs. for the petty fights between rulers/to show the one true heir. I also actually expected Jon to land up beyond the wall - he kept saying he didn't want to be king and he loved the North. As soon as he told Tormund to take Ghost there it kind of confirmed it for me. Which I took as another example of how the best rulers aren't necessarily those by blood, nor those who don't want to rule, even if they're good leaders.

2023-08-06 06:49:43 +0000 UTCDumbest part of the whole episode was trying to get us to believe grey worm wouldn't have cut Jon into small pieces.
TigerMyth
2023-07-30 08:49:13 +0000 UTCVarys wasn't very smart in the end. He spoke to too many people, he attempted to have Danny poisoned. Right or wrong, in the end he was too late and rushed thus his plot failed.
TigerMyth
2023-07-30 07:57:56 +0000 UTCI already watched 2 episodes of HOTD. They're posted here!

Susan B
2023-07-26 05:45:05 +0000 UTCI hope you’ll dive right into House of the Dragon. Prequel to GOT returns to the polished writing and character-driven storytelling we loved in the early seasons of GOT. Also, now that you don’t have to avoid spoilers, I think you’d appreciate the hilarious “Pitch Meeting: Game of Thrones Final Season” on YouTube.
Susan B
2023-07-26 05:39:39 +0000 UTCI still don’t think book dany is a good person. I think she has made a few good decisions but I think GRRM wanted her to go mad. When you read the Targaryen lore, madness it’s later in life for many. That’s hinted to in the books as well. Idk if it would have been as cartoonish as the show made it, but I think she will burn the city on purpose. But I also think GRRM will make it clearer and a much better story when we get to read about dany from other main characters points of view. Right now all we get is dany talking about dany.
Mary
2023-07-14 01:37:28 +0000 UTC...because she obviously was crazy in season 1, lol. You could see it in her eyes when Drogo killed Viserys. A ton of us saw that back when it first aired. I saw signs... but I was done with her by the time she started crucifiying people. Too many war crimes even back then.
Alicia Hauskins
2023-07-13 18:35:43 +0000 UTCI’d also like to add - everyone can hate the ending all they want. The bottom line is, this was / is the greatest television show ever. It was a gift. That’s why we’re all here watching you react to it. We love to witness the show for the first time over and over again through someone else’s eyes. I don’t know that there will ever be another show that does what Game of Thrones did. The ending was disappointing, but the respect will always be there for me.
Maggie Jordan
2023-07-13 02:22:54 +0000 UTCI think there is a solid chance the Jon Snow show will happen but when asked of they would do an Arya spin-off they didn't seem to interested.
Drewcliff82
2023-07-13 02:22:11 +0000 UTCHell yea that's awesome. As someone who is heavily into the entire filming amd writing process you are going to absolutely love Breaking Bad. I personally like it equally with Game of Thrones but I think you will like it more.
Drewcliff82
2023-07-13 02:20:48 +0000 UTCI don’t know.. In some ways I’ve come to terms with the ending. I think part of the reason it was so terrible is because they completely did away with their usual style of acting and directing on that last episode (shocker.. directed by D&D 🙄).. like you said, it felt like a completely different show. Had Miguel directed that last episode, it would’ve felt more true to GoT. I truly felt like Jon was happiest beyond the wall, so I’m not mad about that ending. Dany was crazy from jump. Idk.. didn’t hate the story ending, I just hated the way they presented it.
Maggie Jordan
2023-07-13 02:16:54 +0000 UTCI mean… it’s fantasy. She’s on a very not real life dragon. Also, she’s essentially fire made flesh, and Jon is from the North so his body is used to it.
Maggie Jordan
2023-07-13 02:10:30 +0000 UTCCant wait. HOTD will be controversial and Breaking Bad should be epic and I cant wait to see how you feel about its various characters.
Ashley
2023-07-13 01:19:15 +0000 UTCNext week. I'll do one episode of HOTD and one Breaking Bad
Lenear Boyd
2023-07-13 01:04:55 +0000 UTCPersonally I mostly enjoyed the end of the series. Yes the finale was underwhelming and I wasn't crazy about about Jon's ending but I actually loved thst Arya stayed true to her character and didn't settle down. I think Sansa deserved what she got. After all if it wasn't for her the north would belong to the Boltons and honestly the walkers would have came and wiped out everyone. Pretty much everyone's ending made sense to me except Jon. I'm glad he's likely happy where he is but I just hate that all the Aegon stuff seemed to be for nothing (So far anyway). Most importantly you (Like myself) were right about Danny all along. I always had the same exact view on her and everyone told me I was nuts. Then when this episode went down everyone was like "What poor writing. This came out of nowhere" lol. I'm like the hell it did. That bitch been crazy since season 1 amd progressively got crazier with each passing season. I was sure something like this would happen. In the end I wish we got more but it wasn't meant to be as the show creators bailed to do other things. It also would have been very hard to keep the same cast at this point as many wanted to do other things. It is still tied for my favorite show of all time with Breaking Bad. House of the Dragon is amazing as well. Your gonna love it. They already have another series lined up as well and a fee more that are being discussed including a Jon Snow sequal.
Drewcliff82
2023-07-13 00:43:22 +0000 UTCHouse of the Dragon when?
Ashley
2023-07-13 00:04:24 +0000 UTCyeah she has a lot of confidence issues deep down. she puts on a brave face, but it’s especially obvious in the books that she is still just a child inside. but even so, she is on the right track. although, instead of like in the show hoping tyrion stays near her to influence her well, i hope he stays away from her. she doesn’t need someone like book tyrion that is so desperate for revenge near her. she doesn’t need someone who convinced faegon to go to westeros without her bc he wanted to create chaos near her. i don’t like book tyrion i don’t like hearing him talking about raping cersei and other terrible things.
kallista
2023-07-12 23:53:12 +0000 UTCIn my opinion the show made her too ‘cool’. They latched on to her character and people’s obsession with her. They took away the clear issues she had internally. Made her look confident when she wasn’t. Made it look like she made decisions well from her own heart and not showing why she chose to do things. How she thought about how people would love her if she did something good. How she always thought what would rhegar do because he was loved. I think she wanted to be good, but I don’t think she is actually good deep down.
Mary
2023-07-12 23:50:29 +0000 UTCi understand how you feel. personally i just don’t think she would go as far as killing thousands of innocent people. she’s fine killing those who depose her in essos, especially the slavers, which yeah kill them i personally don’t care. but her want to be perceived as good, as a young teenage girl, also motivates her to do the right thing. whether that be sparing innocents or killing those who go against her. she is a person who would do anything to be perceived in the right light, how she is inside.

2023-07-12 23:45:33 +0000 UTCWhen we gonna get the spin off shows, Jon Snow: King in the North North Arya Stark: West of Westeros
Ashley
2023-07-12 23:44:21 +0000 UTCShouldn't Sam have to go back to the nights watch with Jon?
Ashley
2023-07-12 23:42:11 +0000 UTCI see book dany differently. Her inner monologue was never genuine. She was always trying to be someone else. She’s also fixated on how people perceive her. I think she is supposed to go mad.
Mary
2023-07-12 23:41:19 +0000 UTCAnd now you understand the extreme disappointment fans of the series had with the ending. It didn't really make sense. There were plot lines that went unfinished, questions that went unanswered... the ending really resolved very little and made it seem as though all the drama and war everyone had endured over the last 7 seasons was all for not. On another note regarding Brand becoming the king - remember, he's not really Brand anymore. He's the 3-eyed raven. And with his special ability to see into the future and with his coy answer to Tyrion's "Would you serve as king?" with "Why do you think I came all this way?" - Brand knew the course of events and KNEW that he would end up on the throne. That's WHY he did nothing. There are SOOOO many times he could have intervened or spoken up to change the course of events. He could have warned people about Dany. He could have saved all of those people. He chose not to because if he did, he would not have ended up on the throne. So in a way, you could consider Brand (or the empty shell that used to be Brand...) to be the true villain. Because no one understands his ability or at the very least the extent of it, no one can really stop him without the use of magic - which would come from Essos - where Dany was taken to by Drogo when she died. (To Volantis where the Red Priests are)

2023-07-12 22:37:59 +0000 UTC"We have a bell like that" Yeah we have "The Liberty Bell" and they have "The A Dragon Destroyed The City And Killed Everyone Bell".
Ashley
2023-07-12 21:19:34 +0000 UTCi genuinely don’t know what to say besides the ending makes no sense to me. in my opinion, they highly misinterpreted and misrepresented dany’s character. i think dany in the books would never burn down kings landing on purpose, maybe she begins to burn one small part of the city and it ignites the wildfire caches, that’s the only way i can see that going. jon became almost boring. i like what arya is doing, i’d be interested in a spin off of that if the author of the series is involved because i’ve always been interested about what the entire world looks like not just what we know about. bran being king is okay, it just got portrayed in a weird and confusing way i think. sansa being queen in the north is great of course, but they did weird things with her character as well as most of the other characters. it was extremely rushed and just handled poorly. i don’t think the writers understood the characters fully or the story fully. i am excited for you to start house of the dragon. however i feel like you will definitely dislike one of my favorite characters, other commenters will probably know exactly who i am talking about. 😂

2023-07-12 20:42:37 +0000 UTCLong live the Mad Queen! =) I had a great time watching this series with you!
Billybob350
2023-07-12 19:28:12 +0000 UTCThat was Messande's way of saying 'Just do it. Burn it all.'
Emily Gray
2023-07-12 18:50:07 +0000 UTCThanks for that 😊
Crystal Moore
2023-07-12 18:19:28 +0000 UTCI never would have put that together
Crystal Moore
2023-07-12 18:19:08 +0000 UTCOne quick note about Messande's death and the decision for Dany to go all in on King's Landing. Messande overheard Cersei's plan that she had absolutely no intention of giving in - even if that meant killing everyone in the city (basically a meat shield) to do it. Messande conveyed this to Dany with her last word of 'Dracaras' - meaning the city was a lost cause. If she wanted it, she'll have to take it by force.
Emily Gray
2023-07-12 16:44:10 +0000 UTCIts not really a utopia, theres just not a lot of people left to fight. The realm is in tatters, great houses have been destroyed; like, they need to build back up before they start fucking each other up again :')
Matt Rumsey
2023-07-12 13:10:36 +0000 UTCHow does she breathe at that altitude? very good question. another question one may ask.... how does she stay warm, no ruddy cheeks red from the wind and cold. when her and john were flying in the north, they looked like it was 80 degrees, not a frozen winter
James Sipler
2023-07-12 08:58:52 +0000 UTCI think the way I've started to perceive Jamie differs from you. He is a virtuous person by nature that has been corrupted by the how he was treated after killing the mad king to save everyone, and corrupted by his sister and father. I do feel at his core he is good, but what do I know!
Matt Rumsey
2023-07-12 07:55:49 +0000 UTCit said "Iron Throne" in the letter :')
Matt Rumsey
2023-07-12 07:23:34 +0000 UTCI didn't have HBO when the series was new, but I was online when much of the original discourse was fresh. Pretty much almost Nobody liked the ending of the series, and many had issues with the series going back to the middle of the previous season. At the time it seemed that between G.R.R. Martin's supplementary materials which were released at the time and fans being swift on the uptake of the foreshadowing that fan speculation was cleaving pretty close to the original direction the series was heading to end at, but the show-runners took that personally... felt it made them 'predictable' and they had to swerve to avoid that (nevermind that fans properly interpreting foreshadowing means that they LIKE your stuff enough to pay that close attention to it.)
Molly McAllister
2023-07-12 06:13:10 +0000 UTCHighly recommend watching inside the episode on YouTube where the writers explain what they did and why. There is one fir every episode. The Coldplay musical is great too. Kit singing to his wife who played Ygritte, the Wild Thing song adapted to Wildling is so funny The first script reading of season 8 by the whole cast. Seeing the actors who play Varys and Jon freak out when the read the script the first time and see what happens. It’s on YouTube.
I❤️movies&tvshows
2023-07-12 05:38:32 +0000 UTCAnd who worships the god of death. The many faced men of Bravos. Or was it the Lord of light that sent it fir her. Their motto is what do we say to the god of death. Not today!
I❤️movies&tvshows
2023-07-12 05:33:36 +0000 UTCAlso the writers said afterwards that Drogon took Dani to Volantis where the red priest and priestess are. Speculation is that they may revive her same way Jon was. The scene of Jon riding out beyond the wall is the exact scene in the first episode of 2 people riding out from the wall. Jon telling Tyrion he would never see him again was a hint that Jon wasn’t staying at the wall. Varys was trying to poison Dani when he was talking to the little girl from the kitchen. The actors who play Euron and Jamie have been friends for 20 years in real life. Danerys was killed in the same spot her father was in the throne room. Sansa asking Jon can you forgive me. He never answers her he says the North is free because of you. But really the North is free because Jon killed Dani. She says but they lost their king. Had Sansa fought to free Jon then Jon would have returned to Winterfell as King and Sansa would never be queen. I think Jon knows this. She asks him can you forgive me. Is it because she didn’t keep the secret which added to Dani’s insanity and set everything in motion. Or is it can you forgive me because I played the game of thrones and won. She is queen. Jon is banished and Cersei and Dani are dead Sansa’s decisions to tell the secret and not fight to have Jon released put her on the throne as queen.
I❤️movies&tvshows
2023-07-12 05:30:10 +0000 UTCYes Kit the actor who played Jon talks about that in interviews. Also that part of the decision to kill Dani was to protect Arya and Sansa. There are some really great cast group interviews that were done after the show on YouTube.
I❤️movies&tvshows
2023-07-12 05:29:59 +0000 UTCIt doesn't make sense because the last episode was directed by someone else. That's why the ending doesn't seemingly fit.
J. Hickman
2023-07-12 05:26:40 +0000 UTCDani was royalty, she desired a throne. You can't break The Wheel if you're part of it.
Molly McAllister
2023-07-12 05:13:00 +0000 UTCYou could look at Dany's face and tell she had lost the plot. Dany was so convinced she was "good" that no one could tell her ego anything. She has been on a self-righteous high for a while now. But when she came off that high all she needed to hear was Missanda tell her to burn them all, just like her father. And her "Nobody likes me" temper tantrum commenced. I think MrLBoyd said it best. Dany was running on pure emotion. Little girl emotions at that!
Charlotte Drolet
2023-07-12 05:05:24 +0000 UTCSo bran is king of the 6 kingdoms Sansa is queen in the north and Jon is essentially king beyond the wall he didn't stay with the nights watch he went beyond the wall to b free arya is doing what her idol and who she named her wolf after did and went exploring for new lands.

gak9319
2023-07-12 04:10:38 +0000 UTCHe got offered a new start and a way to build his OWN dynasty. No dragon, no army, no lineage. Any semblance of power finished the moment Dany died. He probably hesitated to kill Jon and gave up everything because he also knew what Dany did was morally wrong. Once she died, his loyalty to her died too

2023-07-12 04:05:00 +0000 UTCThe ending of Game of Thrones was written by Catelyn Stark. Bran king, Sansa queen, Arya living her best life. Jon shipped off back to the wall.
Jason
2023-07-12 03:40:14 +0000 UTCWith his character he should have murdered Jon the second he found out he killed Dany. And he definitely shouldn’t have sat back and let them choose a new king who then released his prisoners.
Jason
2023-07-12 03:38:59 +0000 UTCWell he wanted to go back home prior to the wars plus he didn't really have much power or authority. He wasn't an heir, just a commander of an army
Billy
2023-07-12 03:36:03 +0000 UTCGreyworm post dany-death was just the worst written character. He goes from being a ruthless soldier loyal to her, to holding jon prisoner and not killing him immediately and sitting back and letting them decide who the king should be?? So stupid.
