Game of Thrones [SPOILERS POSSIBLE]

having Imgur problems at the moment...here's the normal BB code I would copy for forum posts

[Hal-9000]

The subject was resolution to plotlines and I made a list


Big secret about Jon being the next Targaryen heir - nothing.
Wights, undead and the Night King - nothing.
Cersei and her armies - nothing.
Bran's long journey to become the Three Eyed Raven - nothing.
Euron Greyjoy and the Iron Fleet - less than nothing.
Jorah getting Greyscale - something, then nothing.

Arya's journey - something... that lasted 10 seconds.

Sansa's horrible story - nothing.
Jaime Lannister's possible redemption arc - nothing.
Bronn and the crossbow - nothing.

Greyworm - You must be held responsible for this!
Then he sails thousands of miles away - nothing.

Tyrion being Hand of the King repeatedly and considered one of the most clever people in Westeros - something, nothing, nothing.

Sam meeting Gilly, becoming a father and somehow attaining Grand Maester status before getting all of his links - Yay?

Yeah, they left a lot of stuff unresolved for sure.

Yeah, they left a lot of stuff unresolved for sure.

Here, we're all pretty much in agreement about the episodes. There, more of a diverse opinion and people always looking for an argument.

I tend to focus in on those trolls

Spoiler alert: Social justice warriors were triggered by the “Game of Thrones” series finale on Sunday.

Also, Brandon Stark was named king of Westeros. After Tyrion made the case that Bran’s story of overcoming adversity made him the best choice, the royals of Westeros assented.

However, in the woke media, no title is as glorious as that of victim. So, while the finale could easily be seen as a victory for disabled representation – what with a dwarf helping to make a paraplegic king – many commentators chose to focus on the new monarch’s politically incorrect nickname: Bran the Broken.

Commenters chimed in with more suggestions.

A particularly hardcore fanboy complained that Bran’s fictional feelings had been hurt.

One woman offered a non-culture wars counter-take, pointing out that “Brand the Broken” was meant to highlight Bran’s hard-won humility, which is what qualified him to rule. But she was mostly ignored.

Dominick Evans, a gamer and transgender and disability activist, disapproved of both Bran’s nickname and the reaction to him winning the game of thrones.

Among those who reacted negatively were feminists. Having thoroughly trashed Season 8 for allegedly indulging in sexist tropes, many of them were unprepared to accept a king, disabled or not.

Young adult writer Jenna Giuillaume wasn’t going to take it anymore after Jon Snow killed would-be progressive queen turned war criminal Daenerys Targaryen.

Roxane Gay suggested the writers of the fantasy series lacked the imagination to end with a woman on top.

While the fat activist took some comfort in Arya Stark’s plans to continue adventuring, journalist and #SexStrike scab Talia Lavin told herself that the real “Game of Thrones” “yas queen” was Sansa Stark, who managed to win independence for the North.

Identity-conscious journalist Ben Faulding saw privilege at work in Tyrion’s appointment as Hand of the King.

Here's something else....after Dany's speech and Tyrion gets arrested, Jon goes and visits him in his makeshift cell. He tells Jon how dangerous Dany is because they both heard her speech. But wait, she gave the speech in Valyrian, not English. And Tyrion doesn't speak Valyrian (remember the trouble he had talking to the guards when he went to visit and free Jamie the previous episode), and I'm pretty sure Jon doesn't either. So how does either of them know exactly what she said in her speech?

Do the Dothraki speak Valyrian?

A pretty even-handed recap of the finale that I pretty much mostly agree with....

Maybe they all learned.

Just watched it last night. Have avoided thread including this one, but I know that people are not happy from my News Feed.

My take - the ending was fine. Deal with it! She was a sexy, charismatic leaded with mental issues from her childhood. She was a conqueror, not a ruler. She has psychopathic, vengeful tendencies from her tortuous rape and molestation-filled childhood and it was only the influence of strong men around her that kept her from going off her rocker long before that. How many times was she going to kill and was tempered by her advisers? Once she lost them it was over.

John had no choice other than to kill her.. Returning as a brooding, slightly miserable Crow bastard was exactly suite to his personality. Was Jamie going to do anything but weaken once he saw Cersei? Was Sansa going to bend the knee? Was Sandor going to get satisfaction from anything other than killing his brother? Etc. Almost all the characters were true to their nature.


Now to read your comments...
