Good point with Arya. I mean given what we have seen from her, she could go assassinate the hand and then use his face to easily do the same to Cersi.
The show absolutely ruins the whole concept of being no one. At least so far.
Arya is my favorite book character, fwiw.
I'm not counting Arya out yet. Cersei said something about leaving the gates to KL open. Can completely see Arya sneaking in as someone else and, at the very least rids the realm of Qyburn or another of Cersei's key squad if not Cersei herself (maybe she offs Jaime, uses his face and offs Cersei).
Time to get this baby fired back up now that I’m all caught up and ready to roll for these final two episodes. Can’t believe it’s really ending next week
30 minutes gang. Also the end of Veep tonight which is the best comedy on tv
Oh shit. Thought Varys was gonna be in trouble but my god. Was cool how Drogon just appeared like that
What’s going on with the episode my blood brother? Anyone die yet?
Yeah basically. Daniarys realizes she can only rule with fear so she goes nuts and burns everything. At least for now
My dawg! Thanks for the update I really appreciate it. If anything else badass happens lmk please
feel like that was a nod to star wars with that helmet off The Mountain thing. Looked a lot like Darth Vadar too
Great uneventful death for Qyburn too. Totally what he deserved
I like that they've actually humbled Arya too. The cold hearted bitch apathetic assasin shit was getting to be a bit too much. She actually feels real again
can a fuggin dragon run out of fire or does it just have an infinite supply of that shit? Feel like they needed to set some boundaries with their capabilities and weaknesses
Welp. There go the lannisters. Next week gonna be all about Danny and Jon resolving who's the rightful heir I guess. I like what they did to Arya's character but she should have had this empathy when her own people were dying in Winterfell like two episodes ago
Prolly went on a bender the night before, drank a few hundred barrels of whiskey or something stupid...you know kids these days.
Major call to
Revelation 6:8
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with

So the Bronn storyline was just fuggin useless and dumb. Never made any sense to begin with
Arya's development has been great IMO.
I thought the "Danny to Mad Queen" thing was probable after the last couple of episodes. Looking back further it should have been easy to see. She's always been on that edge and mostly avoided going full tyrant due to listening to advisors. She's basically got none now...she's pissed at Tyrion, Varys had to be cooked extra crispy, Jorah is dead and she watched her favorite advisor get her head lopped off. Her and Grey Worm both were in full rage mode and nothing was going to stop them from just killing anything in their path.
The only thing I'm really pissed at is Tyrion going from the smartest, most witty, sharp character on the show to some goob who can't get a single bit of strategy right and is literally misplaying every single hand because he can't judge anyones character, even if they are people he has known his entire life. I just struggle watching it. I'd rather he died at Winterfell in the fight than continue to see this TBH. And I also think it sucked they had Jamie stick around all this time just so he could hold Cersei at the end. WTH man. If that was his end I'd just as soon have Sansa or Arya or Danny sentence him to death when he showed up in the North. He was worthless for like 2 seasons I think. I was sure there had to be some real purpose to him still being around, but I guess it was all so they could have him knight the tall woman and bed her? Lame.
almost all the characters could have done with 6 more episodes to flesh out their stories. Bronn is gonna be one that gets no ending at all probably. Tormund just disappeared beyond the wall I guess. I'm not even sure with 1 episode left that we get much more on prime characters like Sansa and Bran. Just gonna be Jon vs Danny drama and that's about it I guess.
Most folks are disappointed about last night. I did however cheer when Drogon blew up the gates and took out the Golden Army. It was badass.
On the one hand I enjoyed the episode, and even though I saw it coming I enjoyed the plot twist that Dany is going to end up being bad. OTOH, could have had a full season and wrapped up all the characters better. Also, sucks that Cersi didn't have a worse death.
Like 98% of the issues come from the dumb idea that they could finish this in 6 episodes. If they did another season or a 12 episode season this is all so much better.
That said, they didn't need to get botch Cersei's death. That wasn't a time constraint issue like rushing the madness on Danny or completely forgetting Bronn is a thing people were interested in. Cersei deserved to die alone, not in Jamie's arms. I also hated that briefly they made her feel not so horrible because Dany is out there going full Hitler on regular citizens for no reason at all. But give me the satisfaction of someone of note killing her. Can't believe they walked away from that and had it just be "oh the building collapsed on her and her brother she's done now".
I don’t mind the Jaimie arc that much. He’s kind of a self destructive addict that’s misunderstood and has redeeming qualities. But ultimately he just couldn’t escape the gravity of his addiction to Cersei. It made sense to me. I wish Cersei would’ve died another way though. Just having the buildup crumble on top of them kind of sucked. Wish they’d have gotten captured and then Dany could’ve forced Tyrion to kill them both to prove his loyalty. But whatever
Haven't read a single post because I don't watch GOT but plan too. I did want to post that I thought it was cool that Aaron Rodgers was in the last episode. Apparently he's a huge fan and got to be in the episode. SIAP.

A GOT actor is claiming books 6 and 7 are both written, waiting to be published after the series completes.

Would love for that to be true.
Considering I started the series in my teens I would love to conclude it before the old fat fugg dies.
