As the first crippled king of Westeros (hooray for the handicapped!!!), Bran the Broken, first of his name, will order the installation of curb cuts and wheelchair ramps all over the land, and handicapped parking spots and passes for horses that tote gimps all over! And heads will roll if there aren't hand crank elevators in every spire in every castle, dammit!

Plot twist : Bran was inside Drogon throughout the entire attack.
It was like being inside of a long nightmare with an impending sense of dread and then nothing happens but a few uncomfortable laughs.
Most of the episode was like a love letter to Tyrion, we saw a lot through his eyes. The lines at times seemed corny and forced, particularly Tyrion convincing Greyworm about stories and kings.
Speaking of which didn't Tyrion ultimately use fear to influence Jon into killing Dany? Saying she probably considered Jon as her biggest threat? Not a great look for Tyrion there.
1. Didn't like Sansa cock-blocking Edmure during his bid for power.
2. Didn't like Sansa opting the North out of the 7 kingdoms. SEVEN.
3. Didn't like Greyworm as the new Moral Compass/Bond Villain.
4. Didn't like almost every lovable character surviving. Small Council.
5. Loved Arya saying - I'll cut you bitch - to Yara.
6. Loved Jon killing Dany.
7. Loved Bran's comment about coming all that way.
The look in Maisie Williams' eyes when she talked about sailing west screamed sequel to me. I would certainly watch it. Arya's Adventures
I believe Jon was encouraged by the Night's Watch to go and live with the Wildlings. I assume they must hold him in some form of regard as he did the kingly thing and helped the two factions survive and live together.
And I can't believe I'm going to complain about this. D&D wrote and directed this episode and it felt too fan servicey to me. Tyrion, Davos, Bronn, Brienne, Tormund, Sam, Podrick, Gendry, Ghost and all of the Starks survive and thrive. Five years ago that Small Council scene would have been considered Game of Thrones forbidden porn.
I liked the idea of Sam writing, but calling it by name was way too on the nose for me.
I learned one thing from season eight: We only needed one dragon and one Arya to obliterate two of the worst badasses television has ever seen. (and their armies). Seemed a little rushed.
Jon is secretly Rhaegar Targaryen's son and rightful heir to the Iron Throne!
and, and??
Really not much. It amounted to nothing

Brienne's actual entry : Jaime was a lousy lover, clumsy fighter and his hand was cold. Armor hid his Dad bod and he wore Cersei's perfume.
New title change from Kingslayer to One Knight Stand. Love em and leave em Lannister.

I get tired of hearing that Bran is all knowing and all seeing.
People - Just because he has the ability doesn't mean he's used the ability constantly.
How much time do you think it would take for Bran to see every moment in time? That's right, it would take every.moment.in.time.
He obviously hasn't viewed their entire history, and also hasn't seen every possible outcome of the future either.
Apparently a new mini series that started last Sunday.Stars Sean Bean from LOTR's fame.It's supposed to be quite good, already been picked up for a second season after airing only one installment
Anyone happen to watch this?
Teh One Who Knocks (05-20-2019)
Funny because as I was watching it, I could hear the seething and screaming of the interwebz and all of them firing up horrible critiques about the episode

Initial reaction, while I didn't hate it, I didn't love it either. It felt very anti-climactic, but of course anything would be anti-climactic after the Battle of King's Landing.

I agree with much of what you say here. Too many of the 'good guys' survived and for a show that literally gut punches you when you least expect it (i.e. The Red Wedding) it seemed exactly like a fan service ending in that respect. Basically, all of the Starks (Jon, Sansa, Bran, and Arya) all get happy endings. Not to mention that entire Small Council. I dunno, that was just very mediocre to me. Now I'm not one for killing off characters just for the sake of killing them off, but seeing at least a few of those final people having a less than perfect ending would have been more in line with the history of the show.It was like being inside of a long nightmare with an impending sense of dread and then nothing happens but a few uncomfortable laughs.

Yeah, Sansa opting out of the 7 Kingdoms? WTF? And no one at all objected? If I had been one of those others sitting there I would have jumped up and said something like, "Wait, opting out is an option???"
I knew Dany was going to die, it was just who was going to kill her. Tyrion was completely right when telling Jon after they all heard Dany's speech about 'liberating' the rest of the world. She was mad with power and was never going to let up. It was sad though after Jon killed her and Drogon kept nudging her trying to get her to wake up.
Tyrion not getting mentioned in the book.
Jon could have looked a little bit happier when he was heading north of the wall with the Freefolk. And Castle Black and the Night's Watch? They still need that? What are they protecting the realm from now that the Freefolk are friends and the dead have been subdued? Do they have a Mexican problem at their border?
I was actually a little worried when Tyrion found Jamie's body that when he started to uncover Jamie and Cersei that one or both of them was going to still be alive, mostly Jamie. Glad that didn't happen.
And I guess that whole thing with Bronn and the fancy crossbow was absolutely nothing.

Yeah, that was unsatisfying to say the least.Jon is secretly Rhaegar Targaryen's son and rightful heir to the Iron Throne!

Jon was the rightful heir to the throne. Dany was basically usurping the power from Jon even though he didn't want it. He does something that has happened countless times before, he kills someone in the way. And now Jon gets to rule now that there is no one in the way. No, wait, Jon is taken prisoner for killing someone that had no right to the throne? None of that made sense to me.

How can you be sure that time passes equally when he is viewing the past? It may be different when he is viewing past events, maybe time passes infinitely faster when he's doing that compared to how it's passing in real time?
