Could be worse though. Total noncombatants like Captain Phasma and CRUSHING fkING STARE could warp into the show via some form of magic. Good job they did, otherwise who would edit wikipedia? It's important that the stories / history of everything is accurwtr and oreserved.

All hail the king! The people will support him because the writers have given him the personality traits of someone with borderline asbergers. Keep him away from an American school and AR15's and it'll be the most peaceful reign since Chamberlain.

This made me laugh

Thanks

But who is CRUSHING fkING STARE?

In the general scheme of things, and even this particularly story line, this is really no big deal.

We don't know whether the Night Watch exists anymore, we don't know if Greyworm knows enough to realise there is/isn't a Nights Watch or what it is. And Greyworm leaves with no way of knowing whether Jon goes to the wall, or stays at the wall. All of the rules around the nights watch, such as those that led to Ned killing that chap at the start, don't automatically survive the new scenario, so who knows what the limits on Jon are now?

Jon looks behind him, saying goodbye to the rest of Westeros, as the gate is shut behind him. It was made pretty clear to me, without dialogue, that the NW thing was a ruse and Jon was always going to head further north to live with the wildlings.

I’m not sure he “liked” it was forced upon him - whereas he would have been very happy in Winterfell

I think the show has always presented Tormund as being one of his best friends and he was happy for a time with Ygritte.

I think Jon had a bittersweet ending rather than a bad one. He killed the woman he loves and will be exiled from his family but he can still have a good life in the future, just wont be having many beach parties.

Jon could have stopped the massacre from happening if he hadn't been such a wet mop.

He deserves some punishment.

I think the ending could have been improved with just a little cliff-hanger. Maybe

- a white walker watching Jon and the ginger folk heading into the forest, or
- Bran's eyes turning ice blue as Podrick wheeled him out of the counsel chamber, or
- Arya seeing a dragon at a great height following her ship.

Just something to leave the viewer with an "oooOOOOooooh".

I'm glad they didn't. That kind of thing is so cliche and has been done so many times.

eg. The Polymorph pod in Red Dwarf... "Contents: 2". And even back then it was parodying the cliche.

Yeah, how come Brienne stayed in KL? Shouldn't she have returned to Winterfell too, as Sansa's chief guard and sword-slinger?

She’s been made kingsguard judging by her armour, I imagine Sansa agreed to turn her service over to bran.

Well I imagine she will get married soon enough, and not to a madman this time. The Stark line needs to continue after all.

Also to add that though the show world is virtually empty in the books there are probably nobles she knew from other northern noble houses, that weren't wiped out like everyone who lived at Winterfell before.

Possibly the worst finale I could have imagined. I thought it would be bad, but the last thing I was expecting was for it to be insipid.

Might actually be as bad as the Dexter "I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay" ending, and that's saying something.

What was the whole sitcom small council scene, was that supposed to be levity? All it did was remind me of how far the dialogue has fallen since the early days.

So bad.

The last line of dialogue in this epic 8 year long show was "I once brought a jackass and a honeycomb into a brothel".. that speaks volumes.

While I don't understand why Bronn was made master of coin, what I really don't understand is why the throne was asking for a loan from Highgarden.

Didn't the Lannisters/throne steal all their money?

Being the drama queen that I am, I actually deleted this without watching it and all season 8 episodes from my planner. Never to be watched again. What a disappointment to the two year wait and excitement.

Ghost is going to require some kind of lid for his ear 'ole if he's going to go out in the snow for his morning constitutional. Like an eye patch, but for ears.

Don't ask just watch it is nonsensical but bronn was basically in it as a fan favourite.

Bronn was receiving his payment as agreed with Tyrion no?

Making him master of coin just means there isnt anyone that could now offer him more money to betray them
