RIP again CIA guy

 

[SurrenderDorothy]

That's a big knife.

 

[broncobuster]

If he's not their then they're going to wonder where he is. Here he can play it off and convince them he's really dropping out.

So they wouldn't think he was up to something when Cersi has him up to something.

Did you miss the part where Cersei played everybody?

Did you watch the episode? Cersei tells Jaime she sent him to bring back an army.

Yeah, but Cercei didn't know what the meeting was for, right? Did she tell Euron to wing it and find an excuse to leave? What if Euron was actually scared of the zombie? What if Theon and Euron kept going on with their nonsense?

And like, what if Tyrion didn't go back to convince Cercei? That whole trick was super convoluted.

 

[FiggyCal]

Lmao holy shit

Haha yeah I found that pretty funny

He really really wanted Jon to know his real last name was Sand

Smh. Good thing Sam is a great listener. Also Bran low key did the minimum amount of work this season.

 

[Eyeh4wk]

I don't know how anyone thinks the sansa arya arc was garbage this season. It would have been better off just not having them be in this season much at all. It was pretty much filler

I wouldn't say garbage, more like pointless considering how doomed Westeros is.
Honestly though, I was just happy to see the Stark siblings (and Bran) interacting again.

 

[The Artisan]

Ok but what was the plan before?

I dunno about that. It's a good point.

 

[kevin1025]

That's a big knife.

For you.

A Song of Ice and Fire Rises, Brotha!

 

[Harrison Bergeron]

I think you mean "just the right amount of incest"

Nothing quite like a scene with narration explaining that's your aunt you're balls deep in.

 

[Kaizer]

Jaime when Cercei threatened him.

LMAO

 

[a916]

Is the zombie dragon shooting fire or lasers?

Fire seems like a bad idea around wights.

Looked like ice flame.

 

[rokkerkory]

Glad that jaime joined the fight in the north.

 

[Tuck]

Haha yeah I found that pretty funny

He really really wanted Jon to know his real last name was Sand

I thought this was funny as well.

 

[GDJustin]

LF's end was satisfying for sure, but it's fucking BS that the lead-up to it included scenes like Arya holding a knife to Sansa for no reason other than to throw the audience off.

Littlefinger didn't see them. They don't make sense in hindsight in light of this new information. Those scenes are all just... stupid. Lazy. What a show worse than GoT does in order for a scene to have the tension the writers needed it to have.

I liked the finale a lot overall, besides that.

 

[PixelatedBookake]

That's a big knife.

No it's not. It's a spoon.

 

[DopeyFish]

Looked like ice flame.

you could say it's the... polar opposite

yeaaaaaaaaah

 

[Avinexus]

I think I missed something but when did Sansa find out Littlefinger was full of shit or she just knew it all along?

She has a brother that can see everything now.

 

[140.85]

"He needs to know."
"We need to tell him"

Which basically means that moment will be dragged out.

Also Tyrion is up to no good.

And "shipping" is the dumbest term I've ever heard. When did this catch on?

 

[Zolo]

Haha yeah I found that pretty funny

He really really wanted Jon to know his real last name was Sand

Jon: So I'm still a bastard AND my father that I've always admired wasn't my real father?

 

[Kyoufu]

No it's not. It's a spoon.

It doesn't matter what it is. What matters is the pan.

 

[The Artisan]

There were boobs in the scene though.

Are you sure about that? They were completely naked but I don't remember seeing the private parts

 

[Unicorn]

Was that the same actor who played Viserys?

 

[Conkerkid11]

Was that the same actor who played Viserys?

No. Just the same hair.

 

[SurrenderDorothy]

"He needs to know."
"We need to tell him"

Relationship, shipping. Idk.
It's dumb though, I agree.

 

[ShooterMcGavin]

He will forever be Jon Snow to me; bastard of Winterfell, and knower of nothing.

 

[Lumination]

LF's end was satisfying for sure, but it's fucking BS that the lead-up to it included scenes like Arya holding a knife to Sansa for no reason other than to throw the audience off.

I had understood it that Arya wanted to see Sansa's reaction, and by giving her the knife, acknowledged that they were on the same side. She could've killed Sansa right there if she wanted to.

 

[GDJustin]

One thing that confused me about Cersei and Jamie's final scene that I'm hoping someone can clear up - Jamie says (paraphrasing) "Do it then - give the order to stop me/kill me" and she DOES - she nods. The Mountain then draws his sword, Jamie says "I don't believe you" and then... leaves?

Like... didn't Cersei just order it? What happened?

 

[Harrison Bergeron]

Was that the same actor who played Viserys?

No. Was this guy. Wardrobe might have dug out the same wig though.

[DragoonKain]

This is so obvious, lost in all the hysteria I didn't even think of it, but Jaime going to Winterfell opens the door for Arya to take his face and kill Cersei.

I don't think the show is headed in that direction, but suddenly, it's way more possible than it was 24 hours ago.

 

[ComputerBlue]

Jon: So I'm still a bastard AND my father that I've always admired wasn't my real father?

Just like he told Theon. Ned was Theons real father....Jon will feel the same.

I legit do not think he cares about ruling or being a bastard or successor, he just wants to save the people from extinction.

 

[Fallout-with-swords]

I mean, debates about the actual content itself (I think Cersei is stupidly irredeemable and this pregnancy thing changing her entire outlook is already as cliche as her change after the haircut), I just think that having the same scene play out twice is just bad writing. If they wanted to bring that up by having her confront both her brothers, they should have found a way to create two different types of confrontations. Hell, maybe have Cersei aim a crossbow at Tyrion so that it at least looked different from the subsequent Jaime scene.

I think your wrong about the pregnancy thing Cersei used it to trick Tyrion into thinking she had changed enough to join them. And she tried to use it to make Jamie stay.

 

[a916]

I had understood it that Arya wanted to see Sansa's reaction, and by giving her the knife, acknowledged that they were on the same side. She could've killed Sansa right there if she wanted to.

Agreed. It would've been far less affective of a swerve when the trial was for LF and not Arya.

Yeah I was confused a bit at that scene too. I thought I was about to see Jaime's head get cut the fuck off.

 

[FiggyCal]

He will forever be Jon Snow to me; bastard of Winterfell, and knower of nothing.

*right proper lad*

 

[JadedWriter]

YO PETYR BEGGING? YOU? DAFUQ IS YOUR FUCKING DIGNITY MAN?!!!!!

 

[Talon]

The show has shown Brothers of the Night's Watch whoring in border towns, so it's not like boning is disallowed out of hand. Probably frowned upon but so is prostitution around us military bases yet that happens.

 

[The Artisan]

Lmao he's been waiting for this scene for a long time

I just don't know if I like it. They didn't even talk beforehand. Dany never acknowledges Jon as an equal. So is Jon just another Daario to her?

Petyr hinted at it but Petyr is dead. The last thing they mentioned about each other is him bending the knee and declaring her queen. She never offered him marriage, or to keep the title as King in the North...

 

[Obliterator]

Like... didn't Cersei just order it? What happened?

It was a bluff to try and force Jamie to stay. She likely told the Mountain to never harm Jamie ever even under her own orders

 

[Askani]

Yeah, but Cercei didn't know what the meeting was for, right? Did she tell Euron to wing it and find an excuse to leave? What if Euron was actually scared of the zombie? What if Theon and Euron kept going on with their nonsense?

And like, what if Tyrion didn't go back to convince Cercei? That whole trick was super convoluted.

I thought Tyrion told Jamie in the meeting they had in KL. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[Zeyphersan]

Haha yeah I found that pretty funny

He really really wanted Jon to know his real last name was Sand

Welllllll

I would imagine some people in the North only follow him because they think he’s Ned’s son, legitimate or not. And they would REALLY not like that he’s half Targ. It’s important information, even if it’s not AS important as the real story

 

[Tuck]

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

What? Rheagar is incredibly important to the story, he's not just some random nobody.

 

[Vincent Alexander]

I really hope Sam and Bran take the truth to the grave.

 

[wandering]

And why did he do that? And why did he keep this oath?

The reasons are the same. His writing is consistent.

He broke his oath in season 2 (and I'm not talking about sleeping with Ygritte, did y'all forget that he killed Qhorin Halfhand?) in order to survive and spy on the Wildings for the Night's Watch.

He kept his oath in this episode because of... some idealism about the sacred nature of promises and trust?

What kind of theme are you seeing?

Like his signature line is basically "Forget all your petty squabbles, the Night King is coming for us all." How does that square with his sudden need to be loyal to Dany?

 

[VeeP]

Why was Tyrion so worried/concerned when Dany and Jon were having sex? Was he worried about Jorah?

 

[Zeyphersan]

YO PETYR BEGGING? YOU? DAFUQ IS YOUR FUCKING DIGNITY MAN?!!!!!

Man has spent seven seasons having no fucking dignity.

 

[Acorn]

I think you mean "just the right amount of incest"

The 7 kingdoms are gonna be populated by 3 headed mutants.

 

[Harrison Bergeron]

I really hope Sam and Bran take the truth to the grave.

It's not incest if you don't know it's incest! Right?

 

[JadedWriter]

BAELISH NO! MY SNAKE PRINCE!!

 

[SurrenderDorothy]

Lmao, been so salty about the incest I forgot how good this episode was.

Loved this finale.

It just needed Ghost.

 

[sturgboski]

It's not incest if you don't know it's incest! Right?

I saw a movie about that once. For some reason they remade it in the West with Thanos and Scarlet Witch in it. Did not go well...
