His name was meant to be. Embrace the Aegon.

 

[IcyRhythms]

I think all of the script leak was correct. I'd have to look at it again

 

[The Greek Freak]

Burlington Bar is going to go insane.

They could have a five min cut in of two girls one cup and that bar would cheer.

 

[SurrenderDorothy]

Was just as grossed out as JaimexCersei tbh.

#Teamundead

 

[ComputerBlue]

That's not gonna happen

Maybe two will be 1:30

Don't you crush my hopes and dreams. You monster.

 

[Loxley]

Thank God I managed to completely avoid all spoilers despite the leaks. I would have hated to have that Littlefinger scene ruined ahead of time.

 

[Widdle Puppy]

Not cousin fucking.

Aunt and nephew.

eww wtf

how are they related?

 

[labx]

what a crazy episode

loved the tyrion/cersi scene

john is such a corny character. i cringe when he explains the army of the dead.

But the guy can fuck. Like a lot.

 

[Violence Jack]

I knew Littlefinger wasn't making it out of this season.

Incest on this show still grosses me out even after 7 seasons.

I just wonder how long the war will go on, and if it will take up the majority of the last season.

Jaime is totally going to be the one to kill Cersei on his way out, and leave Tyrion as the only living Lannister.

 

[zelas]

Dany bending two knees for Jon tonight.

Nice

 

[void666]

It's funny that their stupid plan not only didn't work. It gave white walkers the tool to bring down the wall.

 

[Chase17]

Ok so here's the all important question I need to ask: Is Aegon official book canon or is this some shit some intern at HBO made up?

Edit: nvm

 

[Ridli]

Ay I need next season to be all about Sam and Bran being the new "Wheels and the Legman."

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

If you think we're getting six episodes that are feature length, then you better be prepping for this shit to come out in 2020

 

[Easystride]

To be fair everyone saw it and the news will spread, it will cause dissent for what Cersei is doing. It caused Jaime to leave, it took Euron off the board so to speak and it will only cause Cersei to sink deeper into dementia.

Good points, I didn't think of that. Well, at least it sets up an interesting conclusion.

 

[soundscream]

That's not gonna happen

Maybe two will be 1:30

They said based off the scripts there might be 2 two hr episode's.

 

[kc44135]

First 5 episodes were legit amazing, some of the best of Thrones. These last two, though, left a sour taste in my mouth with the ridiculous plot armor and contrived plot points.

Like, the whole wight thing will remain forever dumb, and it played out exactly how anyone who has ever met Cersei would know it would: it meant fuck-all to her. The fact that they wasted two whole episodes in what amounted to absolutely nothing whatsoever, really sucks.

Don't get me wrong: I still love the show to death, but this finale was a huge waste.

It did amount to something, though. That whole "bring Cersei a Wight" plot wasn't actually about doing that, it was about getting the Night King a Fookin Ice Dragon so he could take down the Fookin wall. Questionable writing, sure, but something did come of it.

 

[serenewarfare]

so was that cousin fucking I was watching?

I have no clue who john's father even is. show has done a shit job explaining this.

They had Bran and Sam very explicitly lay it all out and narrate it along with the flashbacks.

How could it possibly have been less obvious?

 

[VincentMatts]

I don't understand, what did Therion say to Cersi if she's just going to back off right after the meeting they had? Looks like a betrayal is coming. Why else would Cersi say "fuck that" right after she agrees.

 

[rucury]

Hello, everyone. I am here to apologize to all the Arya fans I wronged with this hateful and truly repugnant post.

Arya's diehard fans would have you believe the answer is yes. But us sane folk know better.

I have seen the light. Thank you for your time.

 

[Eggiem]

Why are you so angry about it?

Are you also disgusted about Cersei and Jamie?

I'm not angry. Why should I?

Yes, I think incest is disgusting. Quote me on that, if you want.

 

[SurrenderDorothy]

Guys, what did you think about Jaime leaving KL and the snowing scene?
Probably one of the best in the episode imo.

 

[Einchy]

So, I can finally click on the season 7 spoiler thread and holy shit, that thing leaked back in October? I remember it being sometime this year.

 

[DangerMouse]

Night King racked up some feats. I hope they just go full JRPG with him and let him transform next season. I want a Final Fantasy end boss.

Hehe.

Real talk. Congratulations to Sam for actually listening to Gilly even though he was pissed off.

Yup.

I would be totally fine with movie magic saving their lives lol. I need Tormund to see Jon and Brienne again, and I REALLY need Beric to go to town on some more undead with his flaming sword.

Yup, we need more of them!

Also, no way we saw them die off-screen.

 

[Loxley]

eww wtf

how are they related?

Dany's older brother, Rhaegar, is Jon's father - making Jon Dany's nephew.

 

[JTripper]

Guys let's not forget the part where Theon's lack of dick worked to his advantage.

 

[Barzul]

We legit gonna wait 2 years to see this end? It better be fucking amazing.

 

[FStubbs]

With Jaime out of King's Landing, I'm starting to think the odds of Cersei getting killed by Arya (maybe wearing a Littlefinger mask) go up.

 

[Seductivpancakes]

....

No book spoilers man.

 

[Jerm411]

I loved this season. Littlefinger getting what he deserves.

Brilliant way to wrap it up too...he had everyone fooled. It tried plotting one more time against someone that was his equal and it crashed down in spectacular fashion.

 

[Widdle Puppy]

They had Bran and Sam very explicitly lay it all out and narrate it along with the flashbacks.

How could it possibly have been less obvious?

uh,

who the fuck was that white haired guy and how was he important?

 

[soundscream]

eww wtf

how are they related?

How is this a question?

 

[Khansolo1]

Guys let's not forget the part where Theon's lack of dick worked to his advantage.

Haha That made me cringe and laugh at the same time.

 

[wiibomb]

Same I want to read all the leaks.

Oh yeah, now that season is over, I want to read the leaks

 

[RoKKeR]

It's funny that their stupid plan not only didn't work. It gave white walkers the tool to bring down the wall.

How would they have gotten past the wall without the dragon?

 

[More_Badass]

We're totally getting a triple dragon dogfight next season, aren't we? Dany and Jon vs the Night King

 

[a Master Ninja]

Insane how I've watched enough Game of Thrones that I'm not bothered by incest anymore.

Twist: GRRM had a crush on his cousin and the books and show are just propaganda to get you to sympathize.

But seriously, I remember being repulsed in the first episode with Jaime and Cersei. This episode didn't even phase me.

 

[BSsBrolly]

I can't wait two years for the end. Ugh

 

[SurrenderDorothy]

uh,

who the fuck was that white haired guy and how was he important?

Prince Ragger Targaran

 

[broncobuster]

Oh, and what the hell Rhaegar?

Let's name both sons Aegon Targaryen. Or technically his first son Aegon was retroactively made a Sand. Well, there's only one Aegon left so at least it's not confusing.

 

[yukonrye]

God damn the Mountain's armor is fucking stupid looking.

 

[Ponn]

Thought of something kind of funny. So the whole army and leaders were there. Not one of them inquired or said anything about Ellaria. She's still chained up in the dungeon and no one even gave a shit about her or her daughter to even ask about her.

 

[serenewarfare]

uh,

who the fuck was that white haired guy and how was he important?

Rhaegar Targaryen. Father of Jon Snow.

They said his name like five times. lol

 

[Valentus]

It will be fun when Jaime arrives to the north..

"Jaime buddy! Welcome!.... and the rest of the soldiers?"

".....Well you see..... I dont think they will come... but im here! The swordsman with only 1 hand! "

 

[Rhoc]

Guys, what did you think about Jaime leaving KL and the snowing scene?
Probably one of the best in the episode imo.

Yeah epic moment and finally Jamie is free and can join the good guys.

 

[Widdle Puppy]

Dany's older brother, Rhaegar, is Jon's father - making Jon Dany's nephew.

since when did she have an older brother?

i thought she had just that one brother from s1

 

[Forsaken82]

Brilliant way to wrap it up too...he had everyone fooled. It tried plotting one more time against someone that was his equal and it crashed down in spectacular fashion.

It definitely wasn't brilliant.

There's unresolved shit that needed to be handled between Varys and Littlefinger. It's hard to believe that they won't address any of those two's loose ends in the show especially considering how both were basically responsible for manipulating their favored sides. They deserved a final meeting.

 

[Charlie0108]

A good season of action badly let down by awful writing. I used to be the sort of person who could look past the shortcuts and hand waves because they were only minor or were done to enhance the story but this season it just became a bit too much. I'm pretty concerned about season 8. I'm not sure if 6 episodes will be enough to conclude the story without rushing through a lot of stuff. Overall, once all is said and done, if Season 8 ends up on par with this season I think Game of Thrones will be remembered as a good action show with a story that was badly let down by the writing in the latter seasons. I haven't done a full rewatch since after season five but I imagine it would be quite jarring now to go from the first few seasons to the final few.

 

[MartyStu]

I honestly don't see how they wrap this up with six episodes, unless we get basically six episodes of Hardhome.

From what I understand, that is almost exactly what is happening.

And I think 'wrap-up' is perhaps too strong a term.

 

[Seductivpancakes]

Guys, what did you think about Jaime leaving KL and the snowing scene?
Probably one of the best in the episode imo.

An incredibly beautiful shot full of meaning. Winter has come.

Right before this scene was Cersei standing by herself in front of a map of Westeros. Also a great shot and meaningful. She male rule, but she now rules alone.
