So just every 6 months we’re going to hear untalented nerds ing about how their favorite things have been ruined and how they could do it so much betterWe really do need another plague to take our weak ass society down a notch.
I wonder if the people wanting a redo are donating money toward the remake. Or do they expect HBO to spend another 10 million dollars to make the crying wankers happy?

HBO makes money off GOT. They don’t need donations for it to be profitable
The viewership is up there in World Series territory. I wonder how much of a premium AT&T paid for a network with GoT just to have it end before the deal is done.
HERE.WE.GO
I’m predicting it will be a competent, decent ending that everyone is going to incessantly about and call the worst episode ever.
...
Doesn’t feel like an ending
I thought it this was a very satisfying ending. Unlike previous episodes this season, I didn't find anything particularly out of character or unjustified. Drogon burning the throne was a little bit on-the-nose, but otherwise I don't really have any complaints. I suspect any disappointment from fans with the finale is a byproduct of their disappointment with the season in general. I didn't love every part of this season but I'm coming around on it.
The best part for me was a scene that I know had been predicted before... Dany approaching the throne just like her vision from Season 2, but you now realize the Throne wasn't surrounded by snow in her vision, but ash. Not Ice, but Fire.
It will be interesting to see what people are saying about GoT ten years from now, when enough people have watched it on their own, without all of the surrounding hype, fan theories, discussion, complaining, and all the rest that comes with a popular weekly series. Fans who followed online theories seemed to have their hearts set on certain outcomes that didn't happen, but does that mean the outcomes were bad? For example, did all of the fanboying/fangirling and memification of the "Queen of Dragons" distort what the character actually was throughout the series?
That may be the most fascinating thing about Game of Thrones: fans become so enraptured by a character (who had shown definite signs of sociopathy) that they basically became propagandists for a fictional character, to a point where a perfectly reasonable (almost predictable) end for her character surprised a good number of them enough to basically mutiny against the show.
I'd put Game of Thrones in the second tier of great series, below the likes of Sopranos, The Wire, Breaking Bad and Mad Men. Its writing was never as good as the best TV series, its seasons were often uneven (though you could say that about almost every show ever made), and frankly it was borderline sadistic in parts... but it set new television standards in a lot of areas. I expect once the hype dies down people will rewatch it and find it to be a consistently high quality, thrilling show with captivating characters.

Wow, Jon and Tyrion came across as the biggest wastes of air imaginable in season 8. Tyrion gets rewarded for being a dumbass and Jon has to kill his own aunt/love-interest because he didn't even try to influence the plot in any way for most of the season.
Hey, but at least Jon got to pet Ghost at the end. That makes up for his out of character rejection of his direwolf earlier this season.
Ending was fine, they wrapped everything up properly..doesn't change the fact that season 8 was one of the worst seasons ever produced by a highly esteemed show..
Well...I liked it.
Far better than Ep.5, that's for sure.
"Competent" and "decent" are not words that should be used to describe a tv show of this calibre. It's a historically big show and arguably one of the best productions ever for the small screen. To end it on a "competent" note is a failure.
i still think its one of the great shows of all time. i just think it ended not with a bang but with a whimper
i think jon killing dany makes sense. i just didnt buy the emotional weight behind it since they did very little to establish it. bonding over cave scratchings then banging on a boat one time. didnt feel anything like jon and ygritte. however, i do like jon's ending at the nights watch.
re bran becoming king... fine. though its a bit odd that the 6 kingdoms would welcome a stark king while the north isn't even part of the kingdoms anymore
tyrion continuing to fall ass backwards into power positions is a meme at this point.
bronn being master on coin?
as a finale, it was fine. not quite dexter as far as finales, but the final season on a whole was quite poor. but like i said, still one of GOAT shows.
Bran the tree becomes king out of nowhere and Jon gets disowned somehow.
The part where Sam tries to introduce democracy and everyone laughs was Dan and Dave collectively laughing at the show this show became.
What a pile of a take.
Where did you see Bran becoming king? Where in the did this ever fit in with the overall narrative?
putting this pile of garbage anywhere near the Sopranos. The ending of this belongs in the realm of Dexter.
while i did like jon being sent to the night's watch, i've seen some commenters questioning this as that now belongs to the independent kingdom of the north and now that the unsullied/dothraki are gone jon could just go back and live in winterfell...
Grey Worn: I WANT JUSTICE
Also Grey Worn: I’m out, peace!
Jon being punished because Grey Worn says so it’s re ed. I mean, him and his unsullied left like the same day he wanted Jon dead.
A better ending for Jon would have been leaving to the actual north with the wildlings. The Night’s Watch shouldn’t even exist.
I guess it says a lot when the whole cast as a collective couldn’t even hide their disappointment with the end result. Oh well.
Do you want to be lord of winterfell?Grey Worn: I WANT JUSTICE

Bran: I don't want anymore.
Do you want to be king of the 7 kingdoms?
Bran: yeah
Bran being king makes no sense. Besides the fact that he has no claim... none... who wants a passionless husk as a leader? It'd be like us electing a computer as president. He'd make a far more effective advisor, or just stick his ass with the maesters so they could record history.
And yeah, the Nights Watch shouldn't exist anymore. The wall is ed up, the White Walkers are gone, and the wildlings shouldn't be considered a threat anymore.
Isn't that what happened??Grey Worn: I WANT JUSTICE

Weird how tyrion convincing People even while imprisoned. I feel like tyrion is in a way the King really.. bran is not even a person. As that council meeting showed bran isn't going to be really doing much whilen tyrion directs things. What are brans powers? The show really didn't clearly describe what he can do with his magic . We know about him seeing the past but not clear on predicting the future (even though we got clues) .
What's the point of the nights watch? It's like being sent to antartica.
The ending was fine but the season rushed too far many things and it was a letdown when it came to certain facets of the story like Dany turning , no bran information, politics after Dany dies , etc.
Overall an incredible series and i am sad it's all gone
I read the leaks all season so I knew it was going to be a trash finale and season.
The council was a clown show.
Greyworm not killing Jon and Tyrion when the unsullied were killing errbody was dumb.
Tyrion as a prisoner dictating who will be king after he was told to shut up lol.
Water bottle behind Sam's leg
GOT joins Carnival, Boardwalk Empire and True Blood as HBO series that started off great but ended terribly.
I didn't mind it because compared to other season 8 episodes it wasn't that bad.
But still made no sense for them to force Jon to go north, The Unsullied were leaving, and everyone in the North ing Loves Jon, he could have just chilled at Winterfell and not gone north
Happy Sansa got a good outcome.
Happy Brienne did Jaime's legacy some half-assed justice.
Arya resigning herself to starving in the middle of the sea was dumb though lol
