You were right! Take your prize, a sloppy ending.

I love how dragon fire is so versatile! Incinerate like napalm, destroy buildings like HE shells, and able to completely fail to kill a single person hiding behind a half-caved in wall.

It’s a weird plot point to bring back up, for sure. There can’t be enough time in the last episode for that to be relevant, can it? I think it was just about the writers being yeah, we remembered there were some random wildfire barrels in the city.

Hrrm.. interesting choice of references, I learned something new today.

I’m trying to think of the name of this late-night conservative comedy show - it was maybe on for a season, bombed heavily. I think the format was sketch, or a combination of late night and sketch. The only image I have of it are 2 newscasters, a topless male and bikini’d female. Someone help me out?

Oh man oh man oh man.... I really hope so, but I’m skeptical. Just look at what they’ve done to GoT.I feel like I’m not as invested in Star Wars as I am in SoIaF, so maybe that tempers my expectations a bit.

You, alongside other fans like myself, have exhausted the goodwill this show has built up during its good seasons. My default position with this show is now “How does this make sense” rather than “What unexpected but well thought-out subversions will they show me next!?” 

They’re a great duo, something even D&D can’t mess up.

These, and a million other things from the last 3 seasons. D&D are NOT GOOD WRITERS. They rely too much on the suspension of belief from the fans in order to deliver theatrics and melodrama. Bad tactics (Battle of Winterfell), cause and effect thrown out the window (dragon breath destroys walls selectively), and…

D&D

I don’t think she’s failed at that! Brienne’s totes been a huge inspiration for Jaime’s redemption, which adds to the emotional payoff of seeing him knight her, I think. I guess.... what would be the alternative of her arc? She continues being a badass while being honorable and knightly, but still doesn’t get…

Her knighting scene was my favorite of this season, so far. It felt deserved because she herself had written it off, not because she didn’t want it, but because it had been denied to her for so long, so unjustly. And now in the presence of friends and people who respect her, she receives it, not because she asked for…

And miss a literal rain of scorpion bolts on Drogon just a few seconds later. 

After episode 3, with the lack of pay-off for the Azor Ahai prophecy, I realized how much I was excusing Beinoffs’ poor writing of the last couple of seasons. I really, really, really needed a good, clever, eye-watering payoff for the longest and (in my eye) most important storyline of the series. I mean, the last…

My wife hates Awesome Show, but she stuck through our binge watch of Leave. Sometimes (most of the time?) Awesome is just daring you to laugh at it, and Leave is a little friendlier...? 

I was expecting something along these lines myself. Arya coming out of no-where felt good, delicious, but a lazy delicious like you’re buying a rotisserie chicken.

He didn’t do nothing. He raised an undead army, fought Jon at Hardhome, killed, then wighted a dragon, raized The Wall, and did some arts and crafts along the way. Most of S7 was devoted to this threat.

WHAT?!@@#!!

What, successful and living comfortably while blithely unaware of pop-culture?

I had the same reaction - breathless and loving every second of the episode, but when put into context with the overall GoT storyline it’s maddening.
