Anthony Pirtle Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Also, I think it's hilarious that "the new prince of Dorne" still never got a name. Christi84 and Aderyn 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raksha 2014 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I liked the episode. Definitely the best episode of this season; which isn't saying a lot. But Davos, Tyrion, Sam, Arya, and Sansa are alive and well; so I'm fairly happy. And no more White Walkers. Peter Dinklage was terrific; Jon and Daenerys' last scene was good; Drogon didn't fry anyone; and Bran can talk in cogent sentences. I'm pleased that the North has its independence; hope they can get food from somewhere. (but how the heck did Sam become Grand Maester in the time it took for Jon to get to the Wall?)

teej6 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 So did Bran plan all this? What are they implying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrypticWeirwood Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) We should have known. Maester Aemon the blind Targaryen saw everything. When he opened the door, the light from within threw his shadow clear across the yard, and for just a moment Tyrion Lannister stood tall as a king. and "Oh, I think that Lord Tyrion is quite a large man," Maester Aemon said from the far end of the table. He spoke softly, yet the high officers of the Night's Watch all fell quiet, the better to hear what the ancient had to say. "I think he is a giant come among us, here at the end of the world." Tyrion answered gently, "I've been called many things, my lord, but giants seldom one of them." "Nonetheless," Maester Aemon said as his clouded, milk-white eyes moved to Tyrion's face, "I think it is true." For once, Tyrion Lannister found himself at a loss for words. I'm so much happier with this than with Tyrion's execution. This was a happy ending, or as close as you can get. Bittersweet, if you would.

I'm so confused and upset with he ending. I'm hoping GRRM says that's not his ending, but I have the worst sinking feeling it is (except probably a much better small council) which means I think I'm done with the books now too!

Mystical Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 How was Tyrion, in shackles due to treason, allowed to nominate anyone as King? And while in said shackles, for treason, voted in as Hand? Holy hell. Greenmonsterff, Aderyn and Christi84 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be the idea, but no way would wildings accept any kind of king unless they are in an existential crisis. I doubt he'll be ruling over anyone, just lead a quiet life.

This is an awesome ending. They've laid many, many Easter Eggs for the bits that they'll save for Martin to tell. That way they haven't spoiled the books. The whole Drogon bit of not harming Jon but destroying the Iron Throne instead and then winging Dany's cooling body away are Easter Eggs. Bran was just being cagey saying he'd find Drogon. He knows perfectly well where Drogon is. We don't, but he does. Edited May 20, 2019 by CrypticWeirwood Raksha 2014 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that they're just soldiers and don't know anything about leading or ruling, it it seemed weird. Also why would they take Jon prisoner vs just killing him on sight?

Steve Stark Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Very underwhelming. The beginning was done....well? Her death was quick. About as abrupt as her going mad. Small council and the vote for king...felt fake/forced/something not right about it all. Jon going north is fine, but it still felt hollow. Overall, for such a great set of books and a series with such promise, it ended poorly, and just left me feeling meh about the whole thing. It's depressing, really, but I suppose I'm glad it's over (and sad it's over at the same time).
