Great season, no one I actually liked or cared about died.

 

[Kaizer]

Definitely one of, if not the best episode of the season. Felt very satisfying, but that Bran scene was very funny. It just felt very awkward to have Bran suddenly spilling this diatribe about Jon interspersed with Jon & Dany getting it on lol

 

[trikster40]

Can anyone explain Tyrion at the end there?

He thinks Jon is a bastard. If Dany gets pregnant, he thinks it wouldn't be a legit successor?

 

[zeemumu]

I think part of the Jon / Dany incest thing with the narrating was to show that there could be two legitimate heirs to the throne born in the next year - both products of incest.

The show had that conversation about Dany's infertility for a reason, they had Tyrion address it for a reason - she is 100% having a baby.

Also, how the fuck did Bran know that Jon was Rhaegar's son but he couldn't investigate Rhaegar's marriage? How does his shitty sight even work? Does he have to wait for new seasons of episodes like the rest of us?

This is when we find out that the whole thing was a prequel to Mortal Kombat and Jon and Dany's son is Onaga

 

[Hydrus]

so they basically pulled a character out of their ass that we have never seen before.... okay...

Have you not watched the show lol? Watch this:

[RedRum]

What a fucking episode. Let's have a moment of peace for the best schemer of all time.

You were my boy, Little Finger.

I don't think you have your hand on the pulse of popular opinion if you think these last few seasons will be remembered negatively for any reason.

Like there are issues here, but a vast majority of the viewing audience is still loving what they are seeing.

They are popular now because it's high quality action, but will it be remembered as fondly once the dust has settled? I'm not so sure. Take last week's episode for example. Watching it for the first time without knowing what happens it's tense and engaging. Enter it knowing that 6 of the 7 characters who have gone on the so called "suicide" mission are going to survive and you start noticing just how contrived it is that they did so and just how poorly written that episode was.

I concede that I'm probably just talking about people who exist within the sub-culture where Game of Thrones is going to remain a presence, and that the general audience who will never think about it again once it's over will probably remember it extremely fondly, but I can't help but be disappointed at the direction the show has taken.

 

[ScaryShark]

Also Aegon x Dany has been super forced this season >.>

Their relationship as portrayed on the show is basically 'you're hot and I'm hot'.

 

[Seductivpancakes]

Apologies if this has already been asked but what happened to Podrick after everything was said and done? We see him walk off with Bronn and that was it or did something happen while I was in the bathroom?

I asked that earlier and I don't recall seeing either of them again.

Maybe Bronn wanted some Podrick to teach him to please the ladies.

 

[MrPing1000]

Prediction time: Jon and Daenerys will raise Cersei's child after everything is done, since Daenerys can't have children. It would also fit Tyrion's role in the story, by making sure that the Lannister house lives on, on the right path.

I like this

 

[Obliterator]

Eh at this point I'm so conditioned to incest in Game of Thrones Jon x Dany doesn't even bother me at all

 

[vaderise]

Lol at people pointing out the incest stuff as a con .
It's SUPPOSED to make the viewers feel super weird.
Many people were begging to see Dany and Jon together. There you go, you finally get it but it's not an epic love story moment because it's Game of Thrones. Years of shipping is now real but you gotta take the incest too.
Deal with it.

 

[GravityInsanity]

Night King

VS

Marvel and DC universe

Brock Lesnar, The Rock, and John Cena

Goku

= Night King still wins

 

[Chase17]

How did the battle at Casterly Rock conclude?

 

[Faith in Fate]

So Jon will have a son then I guess and Cersei a daughter, they propose a marriage for when they're older something something kingdoms united.

Or the kids end up fighting in Game of Thrones the New Generation

 

[Hydrus]

We'll discuss this and lift the embargo if we think it's clear. Maybe not today.

Ok Thanks.

 

[Widdle Puppy]

Then you don't pay attention. Rhagar has been mentioned 20-30 times. He was the whole cause of Roberts rebellion

this wasn't explained well enough and he has been poorly brought up then

half the internet right now is scratching their head at this

 

[HotHamBoy]

Loved the godzilla fire

That's exactly what I thought of lol. Pretty cool looking sequence from a nerd's point of view.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Fucking Cersei is making very hard for me to keep going on my #TeamCersei crusade.

I was so happy when she accepted the whole deal and talked about joining the war in the north. FUCK. It would be perfect. Everyone together.

WHY GOD WHY

Now they are going to make Arya or Jaime kill her

FUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKK

I know, I was so damn happy and then nope, fucking Cersei can eat a dick at this point...and now everyone else is squished between her dumb ass and the WW's....

 

[Savitar]

Apologies if this has already been asked but what happened to Podrick after everything was said and done? We see him walk off with Bronn and that was it or did something happen while I was in the bathroom?

They went to drink.

That's all.

 

[nbraun80]

what an awful plot device then to dig up some corny ass 7 year old lore 95% of the audience would have forgotten in order to tie this show together. and no, I do not remember it.

i'm going to say you're in the 5% that don't pay attention to any dialog. They've been talking about all of this for many seasons on and off, with many flashbacks and such.

 

[Khansolo1]

I'm not gonna call Jon aegon. Or even Jon sand. To me he is Jon snow. And I consider him more of a stark, than a targaryon

 

[Griss]

How do you figure? The only person to ever get the better of him was a kid that can magically see everything that has ever happened. If all the supernatural elements of the series were removed, he probably would have ended up being as influential and powerful as Tywin was in the early seasons.

Exactly. I knew he was dead when he ended up in the same castle as Bran - a psychic was the only one who was ever going to beat him at political chess. Once he ended up in the same place as a psychic whom he had wronged multiple times, it was all over.

As far as I'm concerned, it means he basically went out undefeated.

Dude, have you seen people's reactions to Dany and Jon? The vast majority of people are shipping this hard as fuuuuck and not caring about the incest bit.

 

[SurrenderDorothy]

How did the battle at Casterly Rock conclude?

The armistice stopped them fighting so they retreated.

 

[broncobuster]

I'm really curious to see what becomes of Jaime now that he's finally woken the fuck up to the fact that his sister is a lunatic and he's bounced out of King's Landing.

Honestly, he's a far better military adviser than anyone on Dany's team. Might as well join up with Tyrion and Brienne.

 

[LotusHD]

Eh at this point I'm so conditioned to incest in Game of Thrones Jon x Dany doesn't even bother me at all

Used to it for the characters that are largely defined by it, everyone else, not so much for obvious reasons lol

Oh well.

 

[Reverend Funk]

Ugh littlefingers death feels like such a waste, it seemed like the writers just couldn't figure out what to do with him.

 

[Kyoufu]

He thinks Jon is a bastard. If Dany gets pregnant, he thinks it wouldn't be a legit successor?

I doubt that's the reason. Tyrion knows what it feels like to be treated like an outcast.

Yep.....so weird.... (._. )

 

[jfkgoblue]

Jon is definitely gonna knock Dany up, it's been foreshadowed not very subtly


Err I guess I should say Aegon

 

[RS4-]

How did the battle at Casterly Rock conclude?

I'm going to assume that they were given a free pass to KL as good faith for the meeting between everyone.

 

[Betty]

Apologies if this has already been asked but what happened to Podrick after everything was said and done? We see him walk off with Bronn and that was it or did something happen while I was in the bathroom?

He and Bron went to have a drink and we never saw them again.

Like Artisan. Where is he?

Artisan post if you're okay.

 

[Dunlop]

Great season, no one I actually liked or cared about died.

That's because HBO is at the helm now, now way half these characters would still be here if ole George would have actually given a shit to finish the book series off himself

 

[Ponn]

I'm calling it now, next season we are getting this

except the "dragonlance" will be dragonglasslance.

 

[Eggiem]

It's something I wouldn't think of doing in real life but c'mon it's just a show and they don't even know they are related.

Also, that was common practice in the medieval era, the union of two related houses. If incest is going to bother you for season 8 then i think you should have stopped watching after the moment Jaimie and Cersie fucked in S1EP1

I know that. Dosn't make it less disgusting. lol

 

[zeemumu]

Night King

VS

Marvel and DC universe

Brock Lesnar, The Rock, and John Cena

Goku

= Night King still wins

Night King is no Lich King. That guy was mass murdering the strongest champions in the world in single hits.

 

[HotHamBoy]

How could that Dragon fly with the holes in his Wings?

You do realize that physics would make it impossible for a creature of that size to fly with that wingspan...

 

[Einchy]

Like Artisan. Where is he?

Artisan post if you're okay.

Henishi is officially dead.

 

[Dougieflesh]

this wasn't explained well enough and he has been poorly brought up then

half the internet right now is scratching their head at this

No they aren't. Pay attention next time.

 

[SurrenderDorothy]

Jon is definitely gonna knock Dany up, it's been foreshadowed not very subtly


Err I guess I should say Aegon

Aegon will never be a thing, Jon's perfectly fine.

 

[Catdaddy]

Im still team lic..night king.

The pacing of this season was great, seemed like this week they were catching their breath.

 

[jfkgoblue]

Like Artisan. Where is he?

Artisan post if you're okay.

There were boobs in the scene though.

 

[serenewarfare]

So next season we'll see Jaime flip to Dany's side and Tyrion flip to Cersei's side.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I don't see any way for them to beat the white walkers

 

[qcf x2]

I don't know why but the thought never even occurred to me the Night King would actually be riding the Dragon. When I saw that he was straight up on that thing I freaked out a little bit

How did you not see that coming

I don't see any way for them to beat the white walkers

It's simple, you kill the right 5 and the rest of them fall down, magical asspull style. It's like those Puyo Puyo games.

 

[REV 09]

It was an ok finale. The show is a bit predictable now, but the execution is good fun. Jaime leaving was the most surprising thing tonight.

 

[VincentMatts]

Yep.....so weird.... (._. )

The perfect line after that would've been: and he's putting his penis into his aunt.
