I'm just curious how you would've liked it to end? Seriously, not trying to be a dick about it lol. I'm in the minority that didn't hate the last 2 seasons so I'm always curious how others would've preferred the storylines to end. ✌🏻

[@Xabeutt]

@@briana8088 night king and white walkers ending alone is terrible. 8 seasons build up just for the night king and his crew to be dealt with in one episode. white walkers beside jon and sam fighting them have been a useless bystanders. no one of them does anything in the battle. bran becoming three eyed raven just to wander off in the middle of battle of winterfell and be just as useless as white walkers, where as he could have do something like assemble an army of animals or do ANYTHING with his magic powers. all those mysterious signs dead army left havent been explained. the whole potential of night king + bran magic side story has been absolutely ruined. night king killing a dragon with a spear from 20 miles away struggles to kill a small girl jumping on him, instead of smashing her head lets himself get a brain lag and gets killed. arya killing night king isnt a bad idea - many of the shows ideas arent terrible ones but they feel rushed and dont make sense at times. dude had an army of white walkers in the garden and noone noticed arya coming. noone of them is shown doing anything in the battle either. undead dragon burns through a magical, thick ice wall but cant burn through a piece of rock jon snow is hiding behind. many of the characters including daenerys should have been killed during the battle of winterfell but plot armor saves them, in a story that from the very first episode tells that in the world of westeros every action has a consequence and bad decisions get you killed. plot armor is marvel kind of storytelling, not song of the ice and fire. bran becoming a king because 'he has the best story' is the dumbest reasoning, also in earlier episode hes saying 'he cant be lord of anything' and he becomes a king anyway. grey worm who acts as a 'ruler' because his army controls the city first says tyrion cannot speak, then lets him choose a candidate to the throne. yara wants independence and doesnt get it, but sansa gets it. dorne has a new prince and he hasnt been introduced. the entire dorne subplot has been dogshit ever since oberyn died. a better solution might be to have each kingdom rule itself like it was before times of aegon conquest, with maybe a council deciding stuff instead of single individual. jon being sent off to a wall that doesnt serve any purpose cause 1) wildlings arent treated as savages anymore 2) white walkers are defeated. he hasnt killed the night king, he hasnt become a king neither. the whole R+L = J mystery served only to piss off daenerys. he killed a mass murderer and gets rewarded to live the rest of his days in banishment away from his family. arya spending most of the show trying to get back with her family decides to depart from her family once the wars are over. i have no idea which parts of the ending are GRRM actual endings, and which are D&B improvisations. some of them are good, some are terribly bad. one thing for certain is that the ending of the show have been extremely rushed and there is no denying that. many subplots have been slaughtered for quick ending. if the story was given a more breathing room, it could have maybe looked better, but the fact that night king has been a thing from episode 1 and he gets destroyed within one episode is just terrible writing.

[@SATD1999]

I will NEVER forgive them for what they did to Jamie as the end of his arc, literally 8 seasons of Jamie finally beginning to be his own person, have his own thoughts and really starting to want to change his way. Why the fuck did he think Danny wouldn’t kill Cersi, or any number of her still alive enemies, like bro it’s a miracle YOU aren’t being killed for the things you’ve done and you know you’re sister is 100x worse then you are. Just such a fucking squandered character arc, literally spends the whole season convincing us that Jamie has finally broken free from Cersi and her manipulation, only to spend the last two episodes of the season curb stomping 7 seasons of growth

[@faseeghmarcus8763]

Read the books they are better. Like literally every show/movie from a book or comic is light-years better.

[@Adam.Langton]

Great recap! Really great summary of a complex show.

[@joeblair3427]

Game of thrones is simple to explain. Get out a map of the Roman Empire in Europe. They had Germany down to Carthage. The north of the wall is most likely Norway maybe the western side of Sweden as well. That's Westeros. All Martin did was merge all the timeliness into one. Winter fell represents Germany. Armenius managed to push Rome from their territory and claim independence. As did the Iron Islands aka Great Britain under Boudicca who reminds me a lot of Yara Greyjoy. Dorne is Carthage or Spain. Hannibal invaded Italy in an attempt to sack Rome so it would make sense that it's Carthage. The dothraki represent the Huns. Atilla also tried to get to Rome so he could sack it but was thwrated along the way. Which comes to the ending The Targaryens sack Kings Landing much like the Visigoths did with Rome. Which would make the Targaryens representatives of the Goths of Sweden. If you have watched Vikings, Ragnar visiting the Gotelands and there he finds his second wife. She laid claims that her father slayed a dragon. So dragon folklore as strong around those parts. In the last season you also see the merging of Saxe-Coburg and Gothe Which is still alive today in the UK monarch but they changed names due to the German war. Saxe-Winter fell (Jon Snow) Coburg-Iron Islands (Yara Greyjoy) and Gothe - the Targaryens. Martin took all the enemies of Rome and pushed them into one timeline where they all fight over who sacks Rome

[@joeblair3427]

[@NekoHibaCosplay]

Everything gone kinda smoothly as long as D&D had the source material to work with, when they were forced to invent the plot to continue their lacking of skill as screenwriters was fully revealed

[@anti0ptimism]

There were cracks appearing by season 3 but they were easily forgivable. Season 5, which required new material, started the drop in writing quality.

[@Vanillastump]

The thing is, they wrote some great stuff. The season stuff between Robert and Cersei was some of the best. I actually prefer the Battle of Castle Black on the show. D&D wanted to move on, and didn't feel like putting more work into putting characters where GRRM told them they would be. They threw out all the things that mattered early in the series. They could have had more seasons, but they wanted to go on do Star Wars. Which they dropped out of due to a deal with Netflix.

[@sainathande3886]

I don't understand why Dany should be blamed, the whole blame should be put on Tyrion Lannister... Few reasons why 1) When Dany first landed into Westeros, everyone were asking her to Put a siege on Kings landing, but Tyrion said against... And bcoz of that Dany lost Dorne and Highgarden also Iron ships. 2) then how dumb of him to suggest of bringing a Whitewalker to show it to Cersei. I mean why to give her so much importance. She lost Viserion bcoz of that. 3) She left all her Westeros which she could've won easily to fight with Jon. And And this shameless guy Tyrion plotted against her and made Jon kill her... And lastly Missandeis death... She did whatever coz she was put into this situation by Tyrion... Tyrion is the reason for all the deaths...

Lets all agree that season 1-4 was a masterpiece 5&6 were tolerable but 7&8 were unnecessarily rushed considering the fact that books have way more interesting stuff going on which could've saved the show from having disappointing seasons 7&8 based on what its known for they could've done a lot better.

[@tammyalbertsen9522]

Born & bred SF Bay Area folk like me know she had issues with police & her own staff when she was the SF DA. FOX, et al will get their sound bites. But she did great & was highly successful & respected as the state AG & as senator. Love the Willie Brown references; she didn't seem to run in his corrupt circles, but of course that won't stop them from insinuating. I guess we'll see what sticks. No question she's one of The Smartest possible candidates. I'm definitely optimistic.

[@journeysands2622]

Unpopular opinion but I agree. People should move on from the hate

[@TorieDahn]

I still believe Season 8 should have ended with the Night King winning the battle in the north , with the perma frost winter slowly spreading towards kings landing where all the ships were frozen in the water and Cerci, left on her own to realize her actions have consequences, sees as the Night King comes and kills everybody to win it all, now with three undead dragons and everyone she wanted to eliminate, now serving the Night King. I would have loved to see the Night King personally kill Cerci. I love Arya as much as everyone else and having her kill the Night King was bad ass, however the story would have been so much better if at the end, with the massive undead army, undead dragons, the threat north of the wall was too much a match, even if all the holds came together.

I love love this show. But i will say that you dont introduce an antagonist like the white walkers in the first scene of the first episode. Then they die in one battle, in one episode. I wish they would have stretched that out with multiple battles, and brought in the red sword of heros too. And Dany just losing it and burning Kings Landing, and then telling Jon that it was necessary. They had surrendered, and the civilians were innocent. And then also telling him she basically was going to do the same thing around the world. She didn't want to be queen of the ashes, but in the end, that is exactly what she became. We all knew it would be a bittersweet ending, just like the books will be eventually, lol. But im glad George R R Martin will end the books differently.

I'm feeling so heartbroken to see everyone criticising my favourite show of all time. And yes of course that's because of the bad making of the season finale, I can totally understand that. After all these years hardwork, creating and developing each and every character from bottom to top, memories, emotions throughout the process all went to vain for one bad making. It's so painful to accept it for the audience who invested lots of time watching the show from the starting and then finishing it like this! It's a long long journey. I don't even remember the day I started watching it and since then I waited the next year to come for the new season. I can't say anything more. Only one last request, could you please delete the whole season 8 and make a new version of it? Please?
