A Game of Thrones - TV Show Discussion Thread

amazingly they built all those defenses and left a 'secret' passageway from the red keep to underground tunnels leading to the sea. Tyrion told him about it, perhaps the same way he escaped after killing Daddy

so Jaime somehow knew where to find the secret entrance

[rah]

Well it was 'secret' And yeah, it was the same way he got out previously.
The how Jaime found it, I can't defend

[BeBMan]

I think the last episode will be all about reconstruction...

[Dinner]

Tyrion is now officially the tallest Lannister.

[BeBMan]

I hope he survives.

Meanwhile ppl demand a recount...err...remake:

I agree with the "rushed" point, but the "the show is bad when the ending is different from the ending I wanted" point is kinda meh.

[rah]

Yeah, no different then a star wars, it's just a story, enjoy what you can and don't take it so seriously.

man if only that worked and we could get a proper ending to Carnivale. too bad most of the actors in that are either too old or have gotten too famous.

If the leak about Bran the cripple becoming king is true then D&D simply must commit ritual suicide for ruining what used to be the best series on television. Sapuku is the only way to wash away such shame.

[Docfeelgood]

Wonder if this is along the same ending Martin has in store.

now Jon has no choice but to slay deneris

Being right all the time is a habit for me

[rah]

While it couldn't be perfect and satisfy everyone, I think it was adequate.
I liked the tributes to the past. The chair scene, the hand of the kings book. And at least Jon got to pet his buddy.

The laugh when Sam suggested a true democracy was good to.

The council meeting was a bit too flippant for me. But it was the season finale so I'll concede it as ok.

[Demonbinder]

I agree with RAH. Not one of their best episodes but a pretty good one. I loved the opening scene with Dany where Drogon appears behind her and sprieads his wings so it looks like she has them. I was waiting for the laughs after Sam's suggestion. Wonder if that was a nod to some of the theories out there. Bran being King does make sense though I'm not sure the books will go that way. I also liked that the North stayed independent and was amused by the Council scene. Back to business as usual and Bron as Master of Coin?? And he is more concerned about brothels (though they will show up as soon as city is cleaned up if not before). I liked what they did with Arya though I would have liked for Nymeria to be with her. I knew as soon as they sentenced Jon to the wall that we would see Ghost again and that is why no hug in earlier episode. I figured Iron Throne would be gone but nice that Drogon did it.

The only thing is there weren't enough deaths. I really expected Grey Wolf to die but someone had to be in charge of the Unsullied and Dothraki. If we get the last two books more people will die.

[BeBMan]

I was kinda disappointed - I do think the ideas were good, I liked several scenes too.

Sam proposing democracy getting laughed away was fun and a good demonstration of arrogance of power. The dragon/throne thing, him taking dead Daenerys away was good, so were other scenes.

But as finale for such a huge show it felt a bit lame to me. I blame it mostly on the "rushed" issue - the recent developments were not prepared carefully, so often felt forced, kinda like "oh what we only got 3,2,1 episodaes left, better hurry now". Maybe should have done two full seasons for 7 and 8.

Oh well, still it was a fantastic show overall, even with the weaker points.

From the moment where Dany gave her speech and mentioned she wanted to liberate other cities the same way, she liberated Kings Landing,
noone in his or her right mind could still support her (at leat no Westerosi)

And still Jon found excuses for his queen and had to be convinced ny Tyrion regarding her evilness

All in all I liked the end.
With Jon now moving north with his beloved wildlings (instead of staying with the, now useless, Nights Watch)
and Arya becoming Captain Arya the Explorer (which I especially liked)

[Lorizael]

I was waiting for the laughs after Sam's suggestion.

Except both the Night's Watch and the Ironborn select leaders by vote, and I'm pretty sure some cities in Essos do, too.

Bran being King does make sense though I'm not sure the books will go that way.

I'm very confident the books will go there, but it will be clear that Bran/three-eyed crow basically engineered the whole thing via manipulating prophecies and seeing history.
