I loved how the dragon suddenly had a degree in psychology and deduced that Jon Snow isn't really at fault here but the motherfucking GAME ITSELF!!!! *BURNS THRONE* 

 

I thought this part was fucking hilarious in an episode full of goofy shit. Can anyone explain to me why Arya somehow teleported back into the city/battlefield that she just harrowingly escaped from the last episode's ending...on a horse that was never to be seen again? 

 

Also, endless talk about "breaking the wheel"...elect a dude with three wheels, k.

I understood it that Drogon just didn't want anyone else to have the thing that his mother couldn't have.

 

Arya showing up where she did isn't an issue. We have no idea where she went after she found that horse. The one that left me scratching my head was Grey Worm. Jon leaves Grey Worm to execute the last of the Lannister Army to go talk to Dany. When he gets there, Grey Worm is already there. Like, he killed those guys and then popped up ahead of Jon, just chilling, like he's been waiting.

 

Thinking back, that and Tyrion still being alive bug me. I get Jon being left alive. The Unsullied are strictly obedient and likely wouldn't kill anyone without the order to do so. Tyrion, however, was legally charged with treason and sentenced to execution. There was no need to continue holding onto him. That said, I could be allow it that Grey Worm may have decided to take him and Jon in as prisoners to offer up as bargaining chips too exchange for the survival of the the Unsullied.

yeah that was weird.  I'm guessing Jon had another scene that didn't make the final cut.

I noticed that too. Maybe Jon took a full tour of the city to fully come to grips with what happened.

I mean, maybe it's not an issue per say, it's just funny to me that the dramatic ending of the last episode showed her ride out of the city victoriously after all this hardship...only to appear BACK IN IT the next time we see her. Like many little details, it just comes off as silly and half-baked to me. The whole thing felt rushed and goofy.

Jon's ending wasnt happy, at least not immediately. He kills dani even though he really doesnt want to. he still doesnt get the throne even though he seems to have a realization that he should lead...but in the end, watching him go north of the wall makes sense. in the 8 seasons that is actually where he was happiest. he never quite achieves victory though, no matter how you look at it. jon is basically blue balls. 

 

What are you talking about? Jon's ending is clearly the best of the Starks. As he said his farewell, he should have been like: "At least I will have Ghost. Do you guys still have your dire wolves?"

That was weird, but i cam to the same conclusion. He was essentially touring the city seeing the devastation. Then decided to head to Dani. Greyworm killed those soldiers then went right back. Only way it makes sense.

Well I cant argue that. That is a definite win.

Are Targaryens immune to Dragon Fire?  Could have been a cool scene with Drogon and John if he did indeed try to burn him and John just stood there like the Night King did, then Drogon accepted John as his new master.

 

Also, before Tyrion ultimately decided on the new King, I thought it might end up with all the Lords arguing and not being able to come to a consensus, just leading to the next "Game of Thrones", and all the Lords already starting a new war with each other.  Kind of showing no matter what happens, things will never change, the hunger for power will just keep repeating itself.

Not all Targs are immune to heat / fire. Viserys was not, nor was Jon (got burned in an early season when he chucked a lantern at a wight).

Nope. "You have no right to speak!" to "Yeah alright dude, pick a new king who then will obviously fucking exonerate you :shrug:" within the span of about 23 seconds was an entirely better choice.

I'm okay with the ending. Seemed a bit too convenient and happy for this series, but overall I'm good. I'm not gonna bitch too much about fewer characters dying in the end. :p

 

I still think Dany's turn didn't really feel earned. Could have used more time to develop it. 

 

Still no other show quite like this one and I doubt we see another one like it for a long time.

Had a dragon ever turned on a Targaryon?  I assumed the reason Drogon didn't burn Jon was because he couldn't.  It seemed they were able to sense that bloodline and thats why Jon was able to get close/ride one etc... 

That's another problem I have with this season. In the past if I had a question about a character or something that happened, there was usually an answer to be had from someone that knew the show or books really well. This last episode especially left me with a bunch of unanswerable questions since it's clearly not up to par with the old seasons.
