I just finished reading Dune!

500 pages left is too much unfortunately.  This really doesn't sound good.  I know George wants to release a quality book, but maybe it's time he sends his editor what he has, even if it's incomplete.

Just because they are evil does not mean they are omniscient. 

Maybe they know, maybe they don't.

If they know, whether and to what extent they care is an open question.  Yes, she has violated their rules  But it is not as though they are actually against murder, or anything like that.

I don't think they are evil.

I just have a question.  I may have missed it, but was there any mention of what happened to Gilly?  If Sam is the Grand Maester, he most likely had to leave Gilly.  I hope she's ok.  Maybe she stayed at Winterfell.  She is a Northern girl afterall.

That line by Tyrion about "asking him in 10 years" tells me they're leaving the door open for more seasons.

I'm confused..is there even a NW anymore? The two Crows that escorted Jon to Castle Black looked official enough

  But why would they need a NW anymore?  

As a prison I guess.

That council with Bronn looked like something out of Monty Python.  But oh well, the episode could have been much worse.

Ok, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  At least they dealt with the power vacuum that we had seen in the last few seasons in most of the kingdoms.  I'll give it a 7/10.

I felt an urge to go to that thread to say, “thank you for NOTHING, and fuck you”. I didn’t though, that’s probably a big no-no.

I just did, and it felt great.

I have fallen a bit behind on all of the postings (not a complaint ), but was this posted already? Cracked me to ice cubes, I tell ya

 

hahaha that's a good one.  I can't believe they turned the greatest threat the world had ever faced into a horned f***er that was dealt with in one episode.

I'm not signing the petition because previous seasons have problems too.  It's not just the last one.

What could have been:

Instead we got ...finger in the bum

Tyrion - who Littlefinger stitched up to get the whole Stark - Lannister war going? Nah.

That's exactly why I expected him to talk about Littlefinger's death!

Who is this 'no one' though? Having thrown his lot in with Sansa, Cercei wouldn't care what happens to him. Ser Yohan Royce was at the trial and approved of Sansa's judgment. I can't think of anyone who would or should care.

Varys!  Tyrion!  Shouldn't they have said something?

I was just watching this video on Conleth Hill being disappointed with how they handled his character in the last two seasons, and also that he didn't get to comment on Littlefinger's death.  Seriously, how come no one seems to care that Littlefinger died?  Do they even know he's dead, or do they think he went back to the Vale?

And I read this really funny comment under the video:

D&D wrote season 8 on a napkin in a strip club after a half a bottle of tequila and 3 lines of coke.

hahahahaha

Qyburn took Pycelle's place, and Varys's, and the money-counting Mace, and organizing the Queensguard. Qyrbun was a 1 man small council.

But how?  Didn't the Maesters try to send someone else to replace Pycelle?  I thought that's how things worked.  They certainly wouldn't be ok with someone like Qyburn.

Does King's Landing have a Grand Maester after Pycelle's death?  We haven't seen one.

This is just comedy now

Yeah, Arya should have died but I still have still think she will meet her end in the final ep.

I doubt it to be honest

So why was Cersei upset about not getting the elephants?  How was she planning to use them?  I guess we will never find out.

The episode is titled "The Bells"

How is Jon even still a candidate to anyone for the throne? He is complicit in everything that happened here. He bend the knee to Dany even though he didn't have to. He constantly re-affirmed that Dany is their Queen and she shits gold because he's so freaking spineless. He dragged the North into the throne fight so the North also committed these atrocities.

How, just how is this guy in any way, shape or form an acceptable candidate for any throne?

Yes Jon doesn't deserve the throne.

Here it is.  D.B. Weiss explains everything.  Dany started killing people, because she takes it personal.  What? LOL

So the Mountain is more than a mindless zombie. I guess his hate for his brother overshadows everything.

Who else was hoping the Mountain said no when Cersei commanded him to stay by her side?

Why did the Mountain hate his brother?  I thought the hate was one-sided, and the Mountain is just an evil man.

I kind of liked the episode, but then Aegon the Conqueror turned into Viserys the beggar king.  I'm sure D&D will explain how that happened, but it didn't work for me.  Jaime beating Euron, and then Euron claiming he killed Jaime Lannister was ridiculous.

The final scenes with Arya, were just bad.  I get it, D&D love Arya, but that was seriously stupid.  A horse?  Just stop it D&D.  And yes, lets celebrate incest.

2/10 for me.
