Mmmm.... I loved Varys since the beginning but they didn't kill him for no reason. He did betray Dany. That said, I've always seen a toxic trait in Dany that I didn't like, but IMO the time to worry about her was AFTER King's Landing was taken - not before.

One thing I'd highly recommend every one to watch ( not comment on but just in your own time) is a series on YouTube, that the writing and drama students in Boston University did before the real season 8 came out. They wrote 6 episodes them selves and then do a sit down read through of the scripts, with different actor/students reading their different roles , there is a narrator too... they wrote how they thought the season should play out and end I remember watching it all ( 6 Hours) during the long wait for season 8 to drop on HBO.. It is actually really really good ... much more G R R in its writing and the story is great as is the ending. Link to episode 1 here ( The rest a cued up if you watch to this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lf7JspUMBnA&list=PLmRQBLduDYDTCxFT7N_sDeoa39oYiQnAH Game Of Thrones Season 8 Episode 1 - “The Last Hearth” | Boston University Virtual Final Season

Well, there you have it, the biggest spoiler of them all and no one had the heart to even try to spoil it, it's just so awful an just such an incredibly dark turn; Danyreous is quite obviously insane, just as mad as her own father, the Tarrgaryans are just freaking nuts. The ending of the Hound and The Mountain was pretty epic, also very sad but Hound finally got his revenge, one more episode to tie it all up and a few more epic moments left to come, it's been a fun ride guys, been great sharing this epic series with you seeing it for the first time, see you whenever you post the final, no rush, hope your wisdom tooth extraction goes well, Aaron, they'll knock you into orbit so don't sweat it too much, recovery isn't bad either. Take care dudes, see you in a few weeks, peace!

For me I feel like D&D used the last few episodes to practise their cinema skills as they transitioned away from television. These episodes would slap on the big screen but because of that, it just doesn't feel like a TV show anymore and goes away from the context of the whole show prior

Can't say I disagree re the need for more episodes - 7 and 8 should have been 10 episodes imo. Can't say any more on that which hasn't already been said more eloquently by someone else. Also however - I can see this storm was set from the start (although the final 100m pretty hastily so) to create this; ultimately characters did make disappointing and/or crazy choices. Now on reflection for me personally this episode sums up two things which reflect my own realnlife observations: 1) that people do disappointing crazy horrible shit which seems unnecessary depending on your perspective. It's shit and sometimes in life you are let down and disgusted by what people do - especially people you truly believe to be good. 2) war is fucking awful. As Jorah said way back when "there's a beast in every man and it stirs when you put a sword in its hand". It may yet feel triumphant when viewed from certain perspectives- but I grew up with soldiers and even today I promise the shit that goes down in conflict creates nothing good - and most people don't know the extent of human depravity. So yea I also feel ill when watching this, and absolutely accept i have a very biased opinion purely based on my personal experience - happy to be corrected

I'm guessing someone else has pointed this out, but the "mission" that Varys gave the little girl was to poison Daenerys. "She's not eating anything", "we'll try again tomorrow" and "I think they're watching me" are hinting at this. Unfortunately the setup leading to this moment is fairly weak. Varys does question "how her coin has landed" and makes it clear that he prefers Jon, but up until that scene, we don't get any indication that he wants to do anything as drastic as kill her. Like you said, everything is just a bit rushed in the last 2 seasons. The setup for events like Varys' betrayal are not adequate, and people walk away thinking that he was killed for spreading the information about Jon's parentage. In fact, he was trying to assassinate her. As for Daenerys... IMO, she was always insane. If we go back to the start of the show and watch her interactions with people throughout, she has a consistent pattern of making very large demands of complete strangers, and then threatening to kill them or have them killed if they put up any resistance. As early as season 1, she convinces Drogo to invade another continent, and when they start plundering in order to fund the war she wants to start, she begins making demands of Drogo's bloodriders and threatening them. When she turns up to Qarth, they ask to see her dragons, she refuses, makes a bunch of demands, and then threatens to kill them all and burn the city. She has buried people alive, crucified people, burned people alive, fed people to her dragons, and all sorts of other wild shit. It's easy while watching a television show to see a civilization with slave owners and think "fuck those guys" but her mass crucifixion of the masters (effectively just the aristocratic/governmental class of this society) wouldn't be particularly different to a foreign nation invading the U.S. during their slave trading days and summarily executing hundreds of members of government, irrespective of their individual beliefs. The guys arguing for the abolition of slavery in that society are crucified along with the ones who want to crucify children. Maybe most importantly is that her claim to the throne relies entirely on the wheel she keeps claiming she wants to break. Her family used force to subjugate the people of Westeros and impose their dynasty on them. How can she claim to have any rights while simultaneously preaching about how unjust this system of rule is to begin with? How are you going to bring peace to a nation by invading it with a foreign army and burning people that don't recognize your authority? The rationale is no different from any genocidal dictator who cooks up a story about how it's fine for them to kill any number of people because their ultimate goal is utopia. Infinite good justifies infinitely evil means of acquiring that good.

WHO RIDES A FUCKING DRAGON? EITHER A MAD MAN OR A KING!!!! That was the moment she realized it doesn't matter what she does they'll never fuck with her because she's a foreigner and a targyaren. That made destroying the city that much easier for her because the dothraki and the unsullied are her people.

Jaime took his glove off because he had just escaped danys camp and he was back in Kings landing surrounded by lannisters lol how is that bad writing? love yall but a lot of reaches in this one that then gets yall upset lmao

Saying what they did to dany in this season is character assassination.... People need to take those dany colored glasses off. If Khal Drogo doesn't die in season 1 this happens in season 5 lol I love how mad this episode makes people lmao

It all comes back to Dany in the end. There was a thousand different things that could have played out different, Jon could have kept the secret that Ned took to his grave, Sansa could have kept the secret, Varys could have played it differently maybe. But in the end it was all Dany, if you go back and look at the celebration after the Long Night, when Tormund was celebrating and cheering Jon as the man who rode the dragons and came back from the dead etc etc, she was giving him the evil eye, and Varys was watching her while she was watching them, he knew then that her noodle was being cooked. That he found out Jon was a true born Targaryan after that just gave him somebody else to latch on to, but he was already looking at her like she was going to be a problem. She had that Fire and Blood, Mad Queen temper that was going to come out sooner or later. It just happened to be after Jorah, Missandei and her two dragons were killed.
