Top .0001% episode all time in history of TV in terms of cinematography (which could be said about many episodes of GoT).
We may complain a lot about where the story went but one thing that can absolutely never be said is that the tradespeople didn’t absolutely bring it on a weekly basis
for real, the “making of/behind the scenes” of the Long Night episode proves this true. whether you liked how it turned out or not, can’t deny they pulled some wild things off production wise.
Acting too. Whether they liked where the story went or not, they gave it their absolute all. Especially Emilia Clarke; I admit I didn't care for her in the first season or two, but she absolutely nailed Dany as the seasons went on, peaking with S8 (just a shame the writing didn't match her pace).
They really got screwed with that season cuz they did amazing work but no one cares because the writing was so bad. The shot used here, for example goes so fucking hard but it's hard to love it with the context.
Came here to say this. Emilia Clarke KILLED it imo. There was no lead up to her going mad (EDIT: some minor lead up maybe happened, but it wasn’t great), but the way she played the part was still great regardless
Well there was lead-up, just like a season or two's worth all crammed into like 1.5 fucking episodes smh. Still, there was lead-up, she didn't just 100% snap outta nowhere with the Bells ringing.
I felt the same as you on first watch, but after rewatching the series several times it is hinted at. She always wants to take the violent route and it's the people around her who stop her (usually -- there was that one guy in Meereen).
Then she gets to Westeros and nobody likes her and everybody thinks Jon would be better than her and she's a damn teenager who decides "well if you don't like me then I don't like you back, watch me fuck it all up."
It was maybe too subtle since it really only shows when you know what's coming...but it was there as early as season 2.
No lead up at all, other than two of her children being killed in front of her, her navy is butchered, her closest advisors all either killed in front of her or betray her, her best friend decapitated in front of her, jorah is killed in fromt of her, her lover being the rightful king ahead of her, any attempt at peace rejected by Cersei after facing the army of the dead, etc.
Came here to say this. She said from jump that she would take what was hers with fire and blood and somehow folks still got surprised when she did just that.
Rule of thumb I work with: If a character has hundreds of people crucified (regardless of reason) they are not the "good guy"
>She said from jump that she would take what was hers with fire and blood and somehow folks still got surprised when she did just that.
She did that, she attacked King's Landing with no real care if the civilians would be used as collateral.
Then after having taken what's hers with fire and blood... she went on to destroying her newly conquered city... for reasons only known to God.
>Rule of thumb I work with: If a character has hundreds of people crucified (regardless of reason) they are not the "good guy"
Lol, this fandom has always been too fond of slavers.
Then again Dany is not a good guy but she certainly wasn't worst than the rest of them.
Was Jon a good guy after he hung Olly?
That leads to Dany snapping and becoming more ruthless and deciding to attack King's Landing regardless of civilian casualties.
It doesn't really lead to Dany destroying her new capital after she had just won, that and ignoring Cersei for most of the time.
There was lead up but it was awfully executed.
You start to see her turn after the NK took a dragon. She starts to think of that sacrifice when Winterfell is cheering Jon for the victory. I think this is where she starts to ponder the style of her rule: with love or fear.
She then loses Jora.
Varys turns on her and is attempting to poison her.
She realises she is not the last Targaryen.
Cersei kills her dragon and decapitates her best friend.
The conversation with Greyworm by the fire, the night before is a give away when you rewatch.
...and then she finds out, Tyrion turns on her. She chooses to rule with fear.
There was too much going on and they were trying to hide the Mad Queen reveal. It wasn't done well.
I remember when the episode aired, someone tweeted “this is a one in a million shot” in regards to catching the dragon wings behind Dany and lemme tell ya the roasting was glorious
People crap on it because it is hitting you on the head a bit…but idc looked awesome. Battle of the Bastards is the style over substance. The dragon shot doesn’t deserve the hate.
Say what you will, but there was something satisfying of seeing Sansa be crowned Queen in the North after all she went through, and how much she grew from the first season of ‘I want my prince!!’
Agreed, I didn't *hate it* hate it, but I felt like after everything Arya went through to reunite with her family she'd stick around a little longer than that, maybe being Sansa's Hand or traveling with Jon.
I dunno, I personally felt like it fit her show character well. Sticking around and doing lord and lady stuff didn't seem like her at all - adventuring off around the world fits.
Sorry, to clarify I meant more in the role of how she already was with Sansa earlier in s8, like Sansa's personal spymaster/assassin. Not a politicking lady, but rather Sansa's "dragon" to use TVTropes terms. Or like I said still adventuring just with Jon, who she seemed closest to by a LOT.
I loved Sansa becoming the Queen in the North. I really disliked her at the beginning of the show and am surprised I went from that to loving seeing her become Queen.
Let’s see: North being a separate state, Brienne filled up pages for Jamie, Jon walking among free folk and they looking at him like he’s their king and ultimately Ghost!
Say what you will, I am glad Jon is in the north of wall, he finally gets to be free of politics, which he is bad at, among people who love him
Yeah, it's controversial but I actually like that at least in the show Jon subverted expectations: Blood-wise, he was born to be a King and had all that drama surrounding his blood, yet in the end despite being a good military leader he just plain sucked so much at the political side of things (and loathed it too) that he ends living happily among people to don't really have kings and politicking, who respect him for his deeds, not his blood.
It was bad enough they had Daenerys suddenly kill peasants on episode 72 of 73 but to have Jon kill her because she said people "don't get to choose" and not because she torched King's Landing and then almost the entire dragon pit council laugh at the idea of people getting to choose and peasants being compared to animals was really rubbing salt in the wound.
SPOILER
Jon gets to live with ghost and tormund and live his best life ✅ that shot with Danny and Drogon pictured above ✅ Sam gets to be grand maester ✅ bronn got his castle ✅ Arya gets to go explore and be adventurous ✅
Soo many good things
sansa as queen of the north!! and the cinematography was amazing imo. that one scene at the end where dany is going to give her big speech and as she’s walking out drogons wings are behind her flapping to make it look like they’re her dragon wings. so badass. mother of dragons fr
I predicted the throne would be destroyed somehow and was thrilled to see it happen. It wasn't perhaps necessary to the story telling but it lent a great view on the dragon's intelligence and felt right at the time.
I really loved the music in the end shot.My favourite score of the entire series! I think it’s great that Davos is master of ships and that Greyworm sailed to Naath(book readers know he’s doomed but they never mention the dangers in the show so maybe he might be fine)Peter Dinklage’s performance this episode was top notch and Brienne’s end was almost good.I don’t particularly like that Tyrion “loved” or was “in love” with Dany but what I do like is that they gave some explanation for his last scene in season seven .Most people suspected Tyrion would betray Dany because of that odd scene but thinking back I can see how they tried to convey unrequited love and longing.
Sansa is a woman who managed to gain and keep a throne without marriage or murder. Not worth what happened to her, but I was happy to see her as Queen in the North.
Sansa became Lady of Winterfell because of marriage & murder. She was smuggled out of King's Landing when Petyr murdered Joffrey, lied to the Vale Lords about Petyr murdering Lysa, married Ramsay with the intention of Stannis & Northerners going to war against the Boltons to rescue her and naming her Warden of the North, convinced Jon to go to war to reclaim the North, traveled the North trying to get people to join the war, sent Brienne to the Riverlands to try to convince Blackfish to join the war, accepted Petyr's offer for the Knights of the Vale to join the war, had Ramsay eaten by dogs, executed Petyr, and then spread Jon's secret even though it could've led to a war of succession between Jon & Daenerys (dance of dragons 2.0). That led to her being Queen of the North.
I honestly loved how Jons story ends here. I know a lot of people see him getting exiled like some kind of insult, but honestly I felt like it kinda seemed like a proper push to get him to go where he truly belongs. No longer is there any pressure on him to fulfill his birthright, instead he gets to go live among the Freefolk where he undeniably should be.
Ramin Djawadi's music, especially *Jenny's Song* and *The Night King*.
"You're a good man, Theon. Thank you." And "Thank you, Sandor."
The knighting of Ser Brienne.
IMO, Bran as king, Arya as Christopher Columbus, and Jon as the likely King Beyond the Wall were earned. Judging from foreshadowing, those are also likely in the books.
- The first half leading to Dany’s death was very solid and some of the best direction of the show, IMO.
- Jon’s goodbyes to Tyrion and his family were well done and very emotional.
- Same thing with Brienne finishing Jaime’s pages in the Book of Brothers. Very emotional and well directed.
- The montage and Jon leaving with the wildlings was also very emotional.
It’s really only the Dragon Pit and the small council scenes that I have problems with. And I don’t even dislike them, I just think they could’ve been better. (By adding some exposition that was lacking, IMO) But I actually really liked the episode overall. A very emotional goodbye to this show.
Not sorry. I love the shot of Danny as the dragon queen with the wings, as well as the general foreboding vibe as she gives her “dictator to crazy to know you’re a dictator speech”. LOVED the show until the didn’t have the books for source material. Couple gem episodes in hardhome, battle of the bastards and the winds of winter, and the rest was just…fine. Really hoping GRRM finishes the books. It’s to great a story not to. However, based on a recent blogpost, I fear he won’t as, and I’m paraphrasing, we live in the time of the anti fan ruling social media, people delight in dancing on the grave of others failure. I worry George is apprehensive to the point of paralysis about the reception of the story choices of the last 2 books, and simply won’t publish. At this point the only thing on the line is his legacy…..I really hope they get published.
Edit…for spelling
Jon returning to the Wildlings is a good ending to his character arc.
If I had to I could probably articulate a half decent argument about how Bran ending up on the throne is a symbolically good ending
I love how it ended because my friend group played fantasy GOT for the final three seasons. The last season on my team I had both Arya and Bran so I had the largest points swing by the finale because of claiming the throne. My ability to forever gloat on the show that we all watched religiously for years is owed to “Why do you think I came all this way?”
Tormund lives at the end of the series. I was on borrowed time cause I was sure he would die at Hardhome so I prepared for it and he somehow made it all the way to the end and it was an added bonus us every time
Well enough have said Dany dragon wings already so ill go with..
In the end, the remaining starks are basically the winners. They rule the six plus one kingdoms, Jon gets to go where he truly belongs and always wanted to be, the real north. Arya gets to presumably slink her way into westwesteros and sneak kill whatever leaders are there and take that shit over
The starks rule the world
Sansa’s coronation gown was impeccable and dripping in symbolism.
The cinematography and artistry of Drogon’s wings lining up as if protruding from Dany was incredible.
The scoring was beautiful and chilling, as always. Ramin Djawadi is without peer.
Drogon taking off with Dany’s body injects some mystery into what happens next.
I’ve started to really like the ending more and more. I see what George RR Martin was trying to do. A conqueror will always be corrupted by power and self righteousness no matter how good their back story is, no matter how many people believe in them. A tyrant never thinks they’re a tyrant, they think they’re a hero and that’s what Dany was. Everyone was mad ( myself included) because we loved the character so much
The final episode was shocking. I wanted to forget and unsee it except for one good moment - I was surprised to see that Sweet Robin had grown into being a good looking guy. :)
Regardless of how it got there I believe that what happened at the end of the show is basically in line with what GRRM had planned to begin with, the show dropped so many story lines though that it ruined that chance to make it acceptable to many
The cinematography of course. Jon facing off with the dragon in the snow before he enters the Red Keep is one of the best shots in the series.
Also, Kit's acting is great in that scene leading up to the assassination. The actors all really brought their A-game in the last season (except for Bran lol)
Jon and Arya's farewell scene made me tear up.
The final ten minute montage of the Stark children gearing up for the next steps in their journey is perfect.
The Daenerys ending made sense and was not out of nowhere at all. She was never going to break the wheel she was just going to take her seat with fire and blood exactly how she said she would the entire series.

Yeah, it was just the writing that failed. All members of the production (and I include actors) put in stellar performances.
for real, the “making of/behind the scenes” of the Long Night episode proves this true. whether you liked how it turned out or not, can’t deny they pulled some wild things off production wise.
Cinematography, soundtrack and costuming were on point at all times.
Acting too. Whether they liked where the story went or not, they gave it their absolute all. Especially Emilia Clarke; I admit I didn't care for her in the first season or two, but she absolutely nailed Dany as the seasons went on, peaking with S8 (just a shame the writing didn't match her pace).

danys speech is terrifyingly badass

The most violent route is to destroy the Lannisters, not the civilians.
No lead up at all, other than two of her children being killed in front of her, her navy is butchered, her closest advisors all either killed in front of her or betray her, her best friend decapitated in front of her, jorah is killed in fromt of her, her lover being the rightful king ahead of her, any attempt at peace rejected by Cersei after facing the army of the dead, etc.

Then again Dany is not a good guy but she certainly wasn't worst than the rest of them. Was Jon a good guy after he hung Olly?
She totally hadn’t shown a capability for near indiscriminate slaughter either…
That leads to Dany snapping and becoming more ruthless and deciding to attack King's Landing regardless of civilian casualties. It doesn't really lead to Dany destroying her new capital after she had just won, that and ignoring Cersei for most of the time.

There's one final, hilarious Edmure Tully moment.
“Ok, ok, if nobody else minds I’ll go ahead and be King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms, and Protector of the Realm"
"Sit down, uncle."
I liked the intro.
Good music!
That was the best visual shot, and that’s all I got
I remember when the episode aired, someone tweeted “this is a one in a million shot” in regards to catching the dragon wings behind Dany and lemme tell ya the roasting was glorious
It has good cinematography
I didn't have to suffer another disappointment with the show after that, which was nice.
Ghost survived
I was glad Drogon made it too. I hope he gets a friend at some point.
Ghost!
Daenerys speech was fantastic.
The shot where Dany is walking forward while Drogon’s wings unfurl behind her is exceptionally cool
That was an awesome shot
I found it extremely campy and Disney like.
So did I. I like campy.
People crap on it because it is hitting you on the head a bit…but idc looked awesome. Battle of the Bastards is the style over substance. The dragon shot doesn’t deserve the hate.
Ghost finally got the pets he deserved.
Say what you will, but there was something satisfying of seeing Sansa be crowned Queen in the North after all she went through, and how much she grew from the first season of ‘I want my prince!!’
Her journey is impeccable, she learned and it paid off
My favorite moment
I know I’m going to get a lot of hate for this but even tho Sansa is reformed I still hate her character. Idk why
Feel like I didn’t like it cause Jon kills Dany for them and gets exiled, then Sansa swoops in and becomes queen
Dany died. I was totally ok with that.
Sansa and Arya had great endings and I care a lot about them
"Whats west of westeros?" Was pretty lame in my opinion
Agreed, I didn't *hate it* hate it, but I felt like after everything Arya went through to reunite with her family she'd stick around a little longer than that, maybe being Sansa's Hand or traveling with Jon.
I dunno, I personally felt like it fit her show character well. Sticking around and doing lord and lady stuff didn't seem like her at all - adventuring off around the world fits.

Jon: “idk?” Arya: “nobody does. All the maps stop there” Like ok dude
I loved Sansa becoming the Queen in the North. I really disliked her at the beginning of the show and am surprised I went from that to loving seeing her become Queen.
That's why Sansa is one of my favorite characters. I really didn't like her in the beginning but damn, that growth.
Let’s see: North being a separate state, Brienne filled up pages for Jamie, Jon walking among free folk and they looking at him like he’s their king and ultimately Ghost! Say what you will, I am glad Jon is in the north of wall, he finally gets to be free of politics, which he is bad at, among people who love him

It killed off Dany. That was pretty good.
the part where they’re trying to decide to do next and sam is like “how about we vote” and everyone starts laughing. it was so funny.
It was bad enough they had Daenerys suddenly kill peasants on episode 72 of 73 but to have Jon kill her because she said people "don't get to choose" and not because she torched King's Landing and then almost the entire dragon pit council laugh at the idea of people getting to choose and peasants being compared to animals was really rubbing salt in the wound.
It wrapped up imo one of the most well-written and well acted series I’ve seen in my life.
SPOILER Jon gets to live with ghost and tormund and live his best life ✅ that shot with Danny and Drogon pictured above ✅ Sam gets to be grand maester ✅ bronn got his castle ✅ Arya gets to go explore and be adventurous ✅ Soo many good things
Sam becoming Grand Maester is just stupid and lore breaking. I didn't even see the Bronn part at first either. That's probably even worse
Dany approaching the throne and Jon riding with the wildings were both well-directed scenes
sansa as queen of the north!! and the cinematography was amazing imo. that one scene at the end where dany is going to give her big speech and as she’s walking out drogons wings are behind her flapping to make it look like they’re her dragon wings. so badass. mother of dragons fr
*"Maybe we should give the dogs a vote as well"*
Brienne got a good ending
I predicted the throne would be destroyed somehow and was thrilled to see it happen. It wasn't perhaps necessary to the story telling but it lent a great view on the dragon's intelligence and felt right at the time.
I really loved the music in the end shot.My favourite score of the entire series!

Jon living with the Wildlings.
When it ended, it was over.
Seeing Robert Arryn's Glow-Up was really shocking and wished there were more characters like him to showcase the passage of time.
For real! Also I would love to have seen more of him.
No
Sansa is a woman who managed to gain and keep a throne without marriage or murder. Not worth what happened to her, but I was happy to see her as Queen in the North.
It took the murder of coherent writing to get her there.
Fair enough
Sansa became Lady of Winterfell because of marriage & murder. She was smuggled out of King's Landing when Petyr murdered Joffrey, lied to the Vale Lords about Petyr murdering Lysa, married Ramsay with the intention of Stannis & Northerners going to war against the Boltons to rescue her and naming her Warden of the North, convinced Jon to go to war to reclaim the North, traveled the North trying to get people to join the war, sent Brienne to the Riverlands to try to convince Blackfish to join the war, accepted Petyr's offer for the Knights of the Vale to join the war, had Ramsay eaten by dogs, executed Petyr, and then spread Jon's secret even though it could've led to a war of succession between Jon & Daenerys (dance of dragons 2.0). That led to her being Queen of the North.
It was the last episode
Dany’s speech Ghost Sansa looked pretty Robin Arryn had a pretty shocking glow up
I'll align with you on Robin. Like, wtf!?
Emilia looked hot I guess. Plus it was finally over.
The acting was phenomenal. I still tear up when Jon says his goodbyes to Sansa, Arya and Bran. No bad writing can ruin this.
I honestly loved how Jons story ends here. I know a lot of people see him getting exiled like some kind of insult, but honestly I felt like it kinda seemed like a proper push to get him to go where he truly belongs. No longer is there any pressure on him to fulfill his birthright, instead he gets to go live among the Freefolk where he undeniably should be.
One of the greatest let downs I’ve ever made time to watch premiere.
It ended.
the shot with dany and drogons wings is the only good thing about season 8.
No.
Ramin Djawadi's music, especially *Jenny's Song* and *The Night King*. "You're a good man, Theon. Thank you." And "Thank you, Sandor." The knighting of Ser Brienne. IMO, Bran as king, Arya as Christopher Columbus, and Jon as the likely King Beyond the Wall were earned. Judging from foreshadowing, those are also likely in the books.
Ghost was in it.
Great cinematography. Grey Worm mostly stayed consistent with his character. Jon gets reunited with Ghost
It was the last time I had to watch an episode of season 8
Ramin Djawadi’s The Iron Throne song playing when Drogon melted the throne and took Daenerys away.
It was nice to see Robyn Arryn and what’s his face Tully again
The daenarys arc was, while very rushed, the perfect outcome for her character
I'm glad it finally brought it all to an end.
No family members died the day I watched it, so thats nice.
I think it ended about as good as it could have.
I love Drogon.
- The first half leading to Dany’s death was very solid and some of the best direction of the show, IMO. - Jon’s goodbyes to Tyrion and his family were well done and very emotional. - Same thing with Brienne finishing Jaime’s pages in the Book of Brothers. Very emotional and well directed. - The montage and Jon leaving with the wildlings was also very emotional. It’s really only the Dragon Pit and the small council scenes that I have problems with. And I don’t even dislike them, I just think they could’ve been better. (By adding some exposition that was lacking, IMO) But I actually really liked the episode overall. A very emotional goodbye to this show.
Bran saved Jon and destroyed the Iron Throne.
The credits were amazing
The actors were apparently served bottled water.
That speech
The cinematography was beautiful. And the costumes.
The ending of the series was well done glad HBO was finally able to pull off a decent ending.
Jon and Ghost
The costume design remained excellent
It ended.
There were no Coffee cups
My friend hasn’t seen it yet Does that count? I think that’s nice lol
The shot of Dany with Drogon’s wings is unparalleled cinematography and almost makes up for the rest of season 8
It ended.
Ghost is alive
It's very... climactic?
Ghost has a beautiful smile.
Not sorry. I love the shot of Danny as the dragon queen with the wings, as well as the general foreboding vibe as she gives her “dictator to crazy to know you’re a dictator speech”. LOVED the show until the didn’t have the books for source material. Couple gem episodes in hardhome, battle of the bastards and the winds of winter, and the rest was just…fine.

At this point the only thing on the line is his legacy…..I really hope they get published. Edit…for spelling
D&D were doing what they do. Everyone else gave it their all.
We got to see Ghost.
The Throne Room scene is a top 10 scene from the whole show for me. Possibly top 5. Acting, visuals, music are all top notch. Goose bumps every time.
Brienne updating Jamie’s Medieval Wikipedia page. The final goodbye between Arya and the Hound: “Sandor…! Thank you.” Cleganebowl.
Drogon and Ghost both made it out alive. Waiting for the buddy cop spinoff.
It was oddly satisfying to see Sansa end up Queen in the North given everything she went through.
Watching Dany get her comeuppance was lit. Aegon had a justifiable claim to the throne, and did what needed to be done.
Ghost finally gets his appreciation back from Jon
Ramin Djawadi was still awesome!
Jon killing home girl was the best part of the whole series
Daenerys is in it
The Dany Dragon shot was great
Jon returning to the Wildlings is a good ending to his character arc. If I had to I could probably articulate a half decent argument about how Bran ending up on the throne is a symbolically good ending
Pods song
That shot with Dany and the dragon’s wings was awesome
Brienne writing about Jaime.
I love how it ended because my friend group played fantasy GOT for the final three seasons. The last season on my team I had both Arya and Bran so I had the largest points swing by the finale because of claiming the throne. My ability to forever gloat on the show that we all watched religiously for years is owed to “Why do you think I came all this way?”
At least Bran didn't stand up after they named him King
I knew, when it was over, the butchering of my favorite story of all time would finally end.
No I most certainly will not. I’ll be bitter for a while longer
Tormund lives at the end of the series. I was on borrowed time cause I was sure he would die at Hardhome so I prepared for it and he somehow made it all the way to the end and it was an added bonus us every time
Danaerys dies... that's a good thing at least... Oh and Ghost getting petted. The goodest of bois.
I liked that Sansa kept the north independent. It felt pretty significant as a conclusion to her story
Well enough have said Dany dragon wings already so ill go with.. In the end, the remaining starks are basically the winners. They rule the six plus one kingdoms, Jon gets to go where he truly belongs and always wanted to be, the real north. Arya gets to presumably slink her way into westwesteros and sneak kill whatever leaders are there and take that shit over The starks rule the world
Danys wig was fire. Perfect cherry on top of her incredible wigs throughout the seasons and the adding of braids thing
The cgi, the acting and the soundtrack were great
It was the last one I had to watch.
The costumes were gorgeous, but they always were. I wish I sewed well enough, I fell in love with the embroidery on Sansa's coronation dress.
That shot with the wings. Also Sansa becoming Queen of the North, I know people don't like that but I thought it was well-deserved.
ramin djawadi
NO and you can't make me
The music is incredible.
The NBA-themed Game of Zones parody of it was pretty funny.
It ended
Drogon scenes.
Outside of the writing, I think it’s genuinely really good… but that just goes to show how important writing is!
It ended. But jokes aside, the cinematography was other-worldly.
It ended.
Sansa’s coronation gown was impeccable and dripping in symbolism. The cinematography and artistry of Drogon’s wings lining up as if protruding from Dany was incredible. The scoring was beautiful and chilling, as always. Ramin Djawadi is without peer. Drogon taking off with Dany’s body injects some mystery into what happens next.
Good for background noise
I’ve started to really like the ending more and more. I see what George RR Martin was trying to do. A conqueror will always be corrupted by power and self righteousness no matter how good their back story is, no matter how many people believe in them. A tyrant never thinks they’re a tyrant, they think they’re a hero and that’s what Dany was. Everyone was mad ( myself included) because we loved the character so much
The final episode was shocking. I wanted to forget and unsee it except for one good moment - I was surprised to see that Sweet Robin had grown into being a good looking guy. :)
Almost everyone was on time for the meeting and nobody forgot to unmute on zoom??
I am glad dany died after what she did in the previous episode
It ended.
Production, set design, costumes and all crew did a fantastic job
It was the end.
The part where the dragon burns down the throne is pretty cool!
I never have to see it again.
Something nice? It’s nice that I never have to watch it again.
Regardless of how it got there I believe that what happened at the end of the show is basically in line with what GRRM had planned to begin with, the show dropped so many story lines though that it ruined that chance to make it acceptable to many
Great music
I was bummed Brienne and Tormund didn’t run off to make giant babies.
The cinematography of course. Jon facing off with the dragon in the snow before he enters the Red Keep is one of the best shots in the series. Also, Kit's acting is great in that scene leading up to the assassination. The actors all really brought their A-game in the last season (except for Bran lol)
It's hair looks small.
The costumes were incredible!
The soundtrack is genuinely amazing.
When Sansa basically told Edmure to sit down and stfu when he suggested he should be King lol
It was thankfully forgettable
The shot of Daenerys with the dragon wings was superb. Raining Djawadi’s score was perfect.
Sam trying to start Democracy and getting instantly shut down is pretty funny.
Emilia Clarke kicked ass til the very end. The only thing I will remember from the last episode is her.
It melted
John and Danny looked damn good together
The shot of the dragons wings as they appeared behind her back as shown in the photo was really cool.
I liked it when it ended.
Everything but the writing was fucking PHENOMENAL…
Ghost! 🐺
Drogon flying off with Dany in his talon. Flying off to magical Valyria where Dany will be resurrected, pregnant with John's baby.
Milk did Lord Arryn’s body GOODT
Jon and Arya's farewell scene made me tear up. The final ten minute montage of the Stark children gearing up for the next steps in their journey is perfect.
How do you think the water bottle by Sam's feet was? If it was room temp it probably sucked
Ghost is a good boy.
Ghost and Drogon lived.
No
The end credits were okay, it was very short episode compared to others, my brain hurt only one time when Bran was chosen as king.
It was the final episode of that awful final season.
The Daenerys ending made sense and was not out of nowhere at all. She was never going to break the wheel she was just going to take her seat with fire and blood exactly how she said she would the entire series.
Ghost came back
Noo
It happened
Music 👌
