Bairnardo Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I'd have thought it was obvious by now that the ending of the show won't be nearly as bad as the 'if you think it'll be a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention' crowd have been making out.I think the available "unhappy endings" now consist of either Cersei, or more likely Dany maybe losing their shit and wiping everyone out with wildfire or dragons or some shit. The unhappy ending most were anticipating probably revolved around the dead IMO 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably Dany cooking half of Kings Landing forcing Jon to bring her down. No way Cersei survives. This ends with one of the 'good guys' on the throne to rebuild Westeros. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Brightside Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 The dead killing everyone was a preferable ending to Cersei winning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Henry Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 The dead killing everyone was a preferable ending to Cersei winning.I’d put Cersei winning well above either Jon, or more likely Dany, winning. Samwell turning heel is my preferred outcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I would enjoy Bran turning heel and staring blankly at people who try to appeal to him as he torches their shit, asking them repeatedly how many fucking time he has to say hes not Bran Stark anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 When was that all explained?Unsure tbh. But I knew it so maybe I read it rather than seen it on tv. Didnt the Children explain it to Bran? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 No, there was more to it than that. Maybe if the people complaining about the episode had actually watched the previous 7 seasons they might have actually understood what was going on. What more explanation was there? FWIW I've watched the whole thing twice over. I cant remember, I got extremely bored during that whole plot line so wasnt paying much attention.f**k me.

Inanimate Carbon Rod Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 May have already been posted, but a professor from the US Army College has reviewed the Battle of Winterfell and the relative military strategies from an IR perspective. It's a far better read than I made it sound.https://slate.com/culture/2019/04/battle-winterfell-military-analysis-tactics.html?fbclid=IwAR0Zz92bF-wz0ZXwNSrOy3hlNT6koYi2vPGLt10Ujr5Mz8Ox2AM3DX3K8EoId be more interested to read Jon Snows opinion on the Tet Offensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never quite got over Gendry running back to the wall so a raven could be sent to Dragonstone to get Danerys to fly to the rescue last season given both the raven and the dragons would have had to have flown as fast as a 747 for it to make any sense, so I find it difficult to take the HBO version all that seriously now. I just enjoy the later seasons as an entertaining action thriller series aimed primarily at the intellectually subnormal tits and dragons portion of the audience when it comes to plot complexity. Hopefully, the morbidly obese looking septuagenarian gets around to finishing off the remaining two books, so we find out the high brow version of what really happens. If he croaks or turns senile that would provide the real open ended conclusion that leaves everything dangling...

D Angelo Barksdale Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Surely the biggest troll would be a massive build up in the next two weeks before Cersei stepping down voluntarily and the whole of the last episode is just Tyrion and Varys chairing a council meeting where they politely discuss the allocating of resources to rebuild Westeros and the minutiae of a trade deal with the free cities of Essos. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
