GoT is over and I’m glad that it is. Ending went primarily as expected for me. Hope GRRM sticks to it for the books.
GoT last episode
I need some time to process how I feel. I agree on much of what you said... like wouldn’t Drogon kill John? Or the Unsullied? Darthraki?
Side note, does Bran need a master of whispers? Isn’t he clairvoyant?
And now our watch has ended.
I'm not sure he knows everything so much as he can just go look it up. A master of whispers would still be useful to uncover information and then Bran can look into it to find the truth. As Bran's actor said
"I think it wasn't quite fully explained how Bran's power works. It's not that he knows absolutely everything already, it's like he has a dictionary in front of him, or an encyclopedia with all of history, and he can look anything up. Like at the end when Samwell says 'Oh, is this something you can see?' Bran can go back and look at it and say 'Oh yeah, that happened.'" "
GoT:
Certainly a bittersweet end. It was a strong episode, but definitely one that would have felt more earned if a bit more time had been taken to get there. Definitely wouldn’t have called Bran being named king based on his portrayal in the show - the Bran of the books is a different story, but either way - surprise to me.
The ending for the Starks and Jon Snow was about as happy as they could have hoped for. Wonder where Drogon flew off to with Danaerys’ body.
Anyway - show’s over, now. Back to waiting for the next book...if it ever comes out.
I think it was too bad the rumored last shot of Jon & Co finding a bunch of bodies being laid out in that same creepy pattern in the ground giving the impression that fighting evil is a never ending battle as at least gives Jon a better purpose didn’t happen
I didn't think they could top Jar Jar in cringeworryness but how Luke was handled in the Last Jedi comes close. Actually at least Jar Jar was always stupid while Luke was a beloved character reduced to ****All that said, calling it the best of the prequel trilogy is still like being the cream of the crap.

I do feel sorry/sad for the torment that child actor had to go thru being in that film though. Not his fault.

In other news - yesterday was the 20th anniversary of The Phantom Menace’s release. Man, I’ve never been more hyped for a movie than I was for that. The trailers were top notch as well, and had me thoroughly convinced this was going to be one of the greatest movies ever.
In my opinion, it still holds up as the best of the prequel trilogy. The pod race and the duel of the fates were both outstanding. John Williams’ score was on point. And George still used a blend of practical and special FX, so the movie still had a real, “lived in” quality to it - something that got badly watered down in Episodes II and III.
All that said, calling it the best of the prequel trilogy is still like being the cream of the crap.
Vader going bad the way he did was just stupid. He always had some issues, anger and desire for promotion but to completely flip on a dime from brave selfless warrior to a child murdering freak made no sense at all, especially as it was the opposite of Padme stood for. What better way to impress you lover than murdering children and destroying everything she believes in. It was awful writing and worse plot development. 3 movies, it should have taken a whole movie+ to start working on him changing. The script writers have gone "two and a half movies in and we need least last half for the Vader, so you are bad now".

Hodor is just a bald ChewyVader force choking Drogon to death was a twist I did not see coming.
Just watch the clone wars, it makes Anakin a much better character. If you include that, his journey is much more compelling.
Interesting that it was essentially the same issue with Dany - it didn't seem like the outcome had a properly established lead-in. Actually, at least Anakin slaughters the sandwalkers in Ep 2, so you have some indication he could go crazy.
