The very last scene of the very last episode needs to have the camera pan out and we see it was all just a MMORPG someone is playing on their computer.  Then it pans out further and we see it’s BOB NEWHART playing it.

Since I’ve never lived there, I can’t comment with first hand knowledge, but going off the conversation between Tyrion and Varys about the topic, it wasn’t a common occurrence in the north. But who knows, maybe those two were wrong, and it was more common.

The bells didn’t make her lose it, she was already gone. I don’t think she ever had any intention of upholding her word to not attack if the bells rang, she just said yes to make everyone shut up about it. I do think they made her descent in to madness a bit too quick, but here have been hints of it all along. She did…

I HATE that they took a character who grew from an underestimated small player—moving pieces behind the scenes—to a ruthless leader and ended with her crying about her unborn child. The writers have always relied on her relationship to her children to humanize her and to develop her character, which is such a naive…

Dany literally said to Jon, when he pulled away and it was clear their romance was over, that she was choosing fear. The bells were marking that finality of that decision. I still don’t think it was truly earned, personally. While they planted the seeds for madness and all the ingredients were there, I think the…

Are people really this dense. You did get that several times it was said that ringing the bells meant they were surrendering right? That was the point

Sansa saw through Daenery’s right from the beginning. She knew she’d end up being a brutal dictator. Why not? She comes from a long line of incestuous relationships that feature madness.

Probably because every outsider who’s acted friendly towards her has ended up being someone who’d betray her. She trusted the Tyrells and they used her to murder Joffrey, she trusted Littlefinger and... yeah let’s not even talk about what the show decided to do with her then.

It’s not she’s skeptical, she downright doesn’t want a foreign ruler. She doesn’t trust anyone else in power, especially someone, a Targaryen she doesn’t know. She’s playing Littlefinger’s little game in her head, and doesn’t believe Daenerys to be any better than the other options besides Jon, a family member. We…

I dunno. I took Danaerys’ snapping to mean “Shit, they rang the fucking bells. They rang the bells! They took away my pretext!” I think she wanted to burn this shit to the ground from the get go and blamed Cersei for chickening out and depriving her (Dany) of the ass-beating she (Cersei, at Dany’s hands) deserved. I…

The bells didn’t make her go crazy. It alerted her to a choice:

Thank you so much. This has been so clearly Dany’s arc since early on. She was ready in Season 1 to take King’s Landing with the Dothraki horde and she’s seen first-hand what happens when Dothraki attack a city, and her only contribution is “don’t rape so much.” Her insistence on reminding everyone how big her army…

If people couldn’t see this coming since the end of last season or the very least the previous episodes of this season, I don’t know what to tell them.  The writing was on the wall.

It seems I’m one of the only people who still likes this show now, because apparently the idea that a show whose only long-running theme that rulership by birth is destructive at best and when led by ill rulers is horrifying in totality, ending with yet another ill-ruler with a longstanding history of…

Not sure how she viewed them. But what she did didn’t come out of no where. Since season one, she’s been about burning her enemies in cruel ways and making bad decisions when she ignores advice.

I didn’t want him to go back to Cersei, but it seemed believable to me. A lot of people want to have some sort of closure with toxic parents, etc. when they are on their deathbeds. He needed to be there when she died. That doesn’t erase any of his redemption for me personally. It is not like he decided to go an…

How was Jon a bad military commander this episode? He did what Dany asked of him.

It would be nice to think that Dany’s actions come out of nowhere, but I don’t think that’s the case. I dont think you can reasonably dismiss the the amount of ego and hubris it takes to believe you have a right to rule a land you have never even stepped foot on and have the abolute devotion of a people because your in…

finally someone who gets it. This was ALWAYS going to go this way, plot rush notwithstanding.

If there’s one thing Jaime Lannister is good at it’s having sex at the worst possible moments imaginable.
