Cersei and Jamie should've just gone with it and claimed the throne as a couple of sibling-fucking royal mentalists. it's what the people need. Didn't one of them suggest that? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Just now, DA Baracus said: Didn't one of them suggest that? Yeah, I think Cersei broached it. I think the Targaryans only got away with it because they were Valyrian and that's how things worked in Old Valyria. I'm not sure exactly how I feel about the end of the series. I think it was always going to be a disappointment, the final seasons of big shows are always a bit clunky. Tying up threads has to happen to an extent and it's hard to do so without seeming rushed or overly plotted. The way that GoT has been written as well is that the threads can't really be tied off and some of them won't make any sense. In one sense the show runners are damned if they do and damned if they don't, criticised for bending to fan expectations and simultaneously criticised for blowing character arcs like Dany and Jaime. Also, the show has a whole world and it's not all going to tie up, fans get obsessed with details of bits here and there that can't be properly covered in a TV programme. I find the religions in Westeros kind of fascinating. Why do they not all worship the Lord of Light? He is clearly real and there's something in the Old Gods as well, given Bran and tree man. What happened to the Faith of the Seven after Cersei blew them up? How do these religions explain the dragons, how does anyone explain them? Targaryans had tried to hatch eggs before but none succeeded and Daenerys did it - why? If we got answers to it then it'd probably be too much exposition though. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a shame because the actual visuals of the creatures standing around the broken ice were really good; it’s just the plan and execution that made no sense. Last night I watched the episode where Tyrion suggested it. I can imagine all of the actors standing around before that scene going 'how the f**k do we work with this?'. He says something along the lines of 'Cersei doesn't believe in white walkers and dragons - let's show her a wight' and everyone chips in. It's so amateur when the show was so masterfully crafted in the early days. It also happened in the same episode as Jaime was dragged out of a lake in full armour 500 yards from where he fell in. And Jon arrived back North standing on a cliff edge (why? what is he doing there?) before Dany could get there on her dragon. I think it was this episode that broke me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really sure why Jon standing on a cliff edge on Dragonstone as Dany returns with her Dragons is an issue. Is he only allowed to sit in the castle or the caves or something? Other complaints are fair enough, the going beyond the wall was a pretty dumb story probably just done as whatever the books had planned was so convoluted it didn't work in a shorter season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he only allowed to sit in the castle or the caves or something? Aye me neither tbh but it annoyed me. I think previously Missandei was standing looking out to the water when Jon and Davos approached her. I also get fed up of his brooding and 'I've looked the night king in the eye, I've seen the army of the dead' x 1000. Also it's just something that bothers me on all shows but happens a lot of GoT. People who are approached for dialogue are rarely in the middle of something. They're just standing around on a cliff edge or whatever waiting for someone to bring them their scene. Then one person finishes talking and walks off to leave the other deep in thought. Maybe I just get annoyed easily. I do enjoy the show and am looking forward to the finale. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 Kings Landing blows up and takes every c**t with it. Sansa, Yara, Gendry and Bronn all have strongholds now, if Bronn does actually get Highgarden, and a new war between the regions begins. Need another to make it a war of five kings again. That's my prediction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my prediction. It's possible but are those mentioned particularly power hungry to be the overall ruler? They all now have exactly what they wanted(although Bronn may be an issue) , the only way I see them entering conflict is together against dany if she is threatening a tyrannical rule over them. Which looks like she is and the game starts all over again ,which could be the ending...although how we'll get to that in one episode is a puzzler. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Petitions to get things remade because they haven't panned out exactly like you wanted . I didn't enjoy it, but there's nothing I can do about it (other than howl impotently into the void, if i choose). I'm away to start one to get the last 2 seasons of Lost remade. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
