TV: Game of Thrones | Series Finale - II

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Well he did let big sis keep her kingdom for no apparent benefit to Westeros.

He didnt let, Sansa proclaimed them independent regardless of what Bran thought

Aerys was Aemon's nephew, not his brother. He joined the Night's Watch to avoid being used against his brother, Aegon the Unlikely.

Yeah, I got ahead of myself family wise

Don't be pedantic. He did "let". He nodded after her little speech. And she waited for his answer to her proclamation.

It doesn't help that seemingly every Targaryen generation has an Aegon or an Aemon, or sometimes both.

Hm no, Sansa told him they were free

For some reason you are confusing permission with allowing

Pick up a thesaurus. Or a dictionary.

The book and show’s Targ family trees aren’t the same either. They dropped a few people in the show.

. Hell everyone probably sees him as a hero for killing dragon Hitler. Keeping Jon at the wall now is pointless.

.

Other than that's where he wants to be anyways. The entire premise with the final meeting was beyond silly. Tyrion ran the show, Sansa pulls the North out and nobody cares.

 

[Osprey]

It's Sunday! Is anyone else tuning in for the Episode 7 that we should've gotten?

Seriously, HBO is showing a 2-hour documentary, "Game of Thrones: The Last Watch," in GoT's time slot, so that may ease withdrawal symptoms a little.

Talk about a rigged game. Lol. It was s bunch of patsies with Tyrion and Sansa calling the shots. I did get s chuckle from Edmure though....

He always wanted to be a ranger beyond the wall.

I do plan to watch it either tonight or tomorrow. Should be interesting considering they said this season was a nightmare to film.

If you want to split hairs congrats, there are other definitions and you chose one that obviously wasnt what was meant

Or it may piss people off even more.

One of us is splitting hairs here and it obviously isn't me. I don't even know the point you were trying to make by drawing a distinction between the two. Anyways, this tangent is clearly done.

I was talking about the finale with a few friends yesterday. The two guys in their 30s hated it, the 50-something guy and I liked it. Based on a sample size of four, I've concluded that the finale was written for a more mature audience.

I'd like to learn the margin of error involved in that study (one person? half a person?), but, otherwise, it seems fairly conclusive. To add to that, I voted that I liked the episode and I happen to be one of the most mature people here, so that checks out .

 

[Knave]

I can appreciate a sappy ending where things work out and the favorites get what they deserve. This wasn't billed as Stargate though. If everyone knew going in that this is what we could expect in terms of writing ability, pacing and story, there would be less criticism.

 

[TheAngryHank]

What is everyone’s single favorite episode?

I think “Winds of Winter” is tops for me.

S4 E1 the hound and the chicken

I agree, I think they were catering to the audience that has already forgotten seasons 1-6.

I do not have a favourite episode. A lot of really strong "fragments" scattered among many different episodes. Appreciate scenes with smart dialogue, guys like Varys, Tywin, Tyrion.

The showrunners wrote most of the Varys and LF stuff. It’s show original

Most of that was in the earlier seasons, which I don't think anybody has much of an issue with. I think most of my favorite episodes were in the first 4-5 seasons. The last few seasons have had some really awesome moments (Battle of the Bastards, the loot train battle, Tower of Joy, etc.) but the overall quality was more uneven than the earlier seasons.

A lot of people keep pointing to the show outpacing the books as the point where the overall quality dipped and I think that's true. Not having GRRM's narrative to fall back on put a lot on the shoulders of D & D and it was a struggle.
