Lawd, I need to move to SoCal then...

He looks like any other douchey frat bro you'd see still hanging around SDSU. These guys are a dime a dozen in SoCal. 

My favourite part when they sent Jon to the Night’s Watch, which has no longer has a reason to exist.

Yara: “Wait, we can do that?”

Everyone like how Sam became the new Jerry Gergich of Westeros for suggesting the invention of democracy?

As always, I am hesitant to reply to comments with the knowledge that the Kinja system elevates Staff contributions and thus the comments themselves, but I want to address this since I’ve seen it pop up a couple of times in my notifications.

And only D&D can be blamed. HBO offered two 10 episode seasons and literally stated that money was no concern. HBO knows it will go down in history for doing this right.

“Seriously, how are so many people not understanding this?” 

Yep, Danaerys had endured a lot worse than some people being more enthusiastic about the guy they had known for years than her. This descent into indiscriminate carnage makes her seem brittle, and feels like a disservice to her character. Instead of her story being one of overcoming the cycles of violence and abuse…

Yeah. Lets see, “I can capture Cersei, bring her in front of a crowd, gloat over her and have Drogon incinerate her.  That will scare the shit out of anyone who wants to oppose me.  You know what? No, I’ll turn into a war criminal.”

Prophecies are tropes and what better way to make them appear initially tropey they twist than to not fulfill the trope?

This whole season couldn’t be more “let’s get this shit over with already.” Logic and characterization be damned. Last episode the magic fleet kills a dragon and Missandei in five minutes just to set up Dany going all Mad Queen. Then she does and it’s so ridiculously over the top it doesn’t even make sense. Even her…

I’ve decided that the best explanation is that when they surpassed George’s books, they realized they had no idea how to build out his world, and completely panicked. That’s why everything is rushed — they’re making desperate leaps from one bullet point to the next, struggling to understand how any of it makes any…

I agree everything you’re saying, but I think most people aren’t giving enough emotional weight to the dinner at Winterfell. She sacrificed half her army “for the people” and everyone treated her like a party crasher.

Well, that was a shocker and a compellingly horrific spectacle, brilliantly performed and beautifully filmed. I just wish I could buy it. Lots of people have commented about the harsh justice Dany has delivered over the past 71 episodes. However, burning a city of innocent people alive still felt like a drastic…

I think we need to connect the dots and remember that everyone adored Emilia after season 1 but started being critical in season 2, when we now know that she was recovering from brain surgery.

Agreed - though I will note that at least one of Jaime’s hands was at her neck when they died. So, she did die with “the valonqar’s hands around her neck”, sorta. :)

Credit where it’s due: Emilia Clarke has usually not been much more than a decent actress (though I’ve often defended her from critics who assert she’s bad, which I don’t think she has been), but she has been absolutely wonderful this season, even as the writing for her character has turned into a trainwreck.

lazy writing giveth magic crossbows, lazy writing taketh away magic crossbows.

What an utterly baffling episode. It’s almost like this show got cancelled and the producers clapoed their hands and said, “Mm’k, let’s get this shit over with.” And then proceeded to finish the series out in the most basic way possible while ignoring 90% of the built of mythos of the books and the last 7 seasons
