So good filmmaking but bad writing? Or just proof this thing is just going around again for no reason?

It’s like poetry. It rhymes - George Lucas
DelaysAction
I just don't understand why they rushed the last two seasons. A lot of the things that happen is fine, but it is not earned!
tyrpestdeath
I'm so glad they didn't bookend it with more fucking white walkers.

Maybe the 1 clever thing this season
mitsobar
I feel all this symmetry and symbolism goes to far and it's been crammed in for its own sake.
subtleshock72000
If we keep drawing parallels to when the show was good ppl will think it's still good
Snooj
Oh shit, I bet that went right over a lot of people's heads, including mine.

I like how much of Game of Thrones this episode was. Or how much LotR it was. Oh wait, no. It was just a happy end. But at least best dog.
NomDeImguerre
I like how Jon went from a man wanting a name/title, to having too many names, to being content with no name at all.

So what became of Syrio Forel?
unicorninmypants
He said no to the god of death and the kings gaurd escorted him to the nearest ship back to Braavos.

How the fuck did the wall get rebuilt so fast?
Slydevil13
it didn't, the wall was destroyed at Eastwatch by the sea. Castle Black is miles away from that

JonathanHlutke
I think they really obviously left the door open for more seasons to come.
ShouldersDeepInAHorse
I seriously hope the next book is NOTHING like season 8 and they're forced to reshoot episodes and it's all non-canon.
SamanosukeOnimusha
No, you could see in the last scene they closed the door behind them. Duh
Nicalanius
Whether they do it or not, there is definitely an opening
murphyslaw101
he will be king in the "real north" or the 8th kingdom
Jineapple
Except wildlings don't kneel. The only reason they followed Mance Rayder was that it was a life or death decision.
RoundThreeFIGHT
They still accept a leader's decisions,even if they dont agree or understand them.The difference being wildlings aren't lesser than kings
Jineapple
Wildlings are made out of tribes. The individual tribes have leaders, but there's no king for all of them.

The King Beyond the Wall
tonytoes
The way i say it was John is now the king beyond the wall, Sansa it the queen of the north, and bran is the king of the 6 kingdoms. /1
tonytoes
Making the stark children the rulers of the entirety of westaros. /2
unicorninmypants
So all this for what? The night king story wasn't explained. Did it matter that Jon is Targaryen? Disappointed.
ProceduralTexture
The Night King lives on in Bran.
NightFuryLee
MHM
BestNameEverOfAllTime
They were created by the Children to erase all signs of human life, including their history. That's why they wanted to kill Bran as well 1/2
BestNameEverOfAllTime
Did you even pay attention??? 2/2
unicorninmypants
Yea, i got that captain obvious. Who was he why did they choose him? Why was he always having a stare down with Jon?
nissanautismo
The writers surely didn't because that walls got burned the fuck down but suddenly it exists again.
BestNameEverOfAllTime
I assume you mean the wall in the north? NK only destroyed the very eastern part, next to the sea. 95% of the wall is intact.
SpraynardYitzben
North Korea destroyed part of the wall?! Bastards!
BrokenMegaman
Why did they go back? They brought them in for the first time ever promised them lands then they go back????
TrombeOverride
They were trying to get past the wall because the Cold Boys were bearing down on them, not because they didn't like it up north.
IAmJacksRagingBileDuct
North of the wall doesn't have the threat of the dead anymore. Makes sense the free people would want to go back instead of being ruled.
Qualtagh
I'd bet some stayed south of the wall. But there's a ton of livable land north of the wall that is presumably empty after the march of 1/2
Qualtagh
the Night King. Some wildlings would want to go reclaim it, now that the big threat is gone. 2/2
Holyfuckwhatsagoodusername
Tormund said fuck that, they belong in the north and took ghost with him.
noctism
I would go back too if I saw all the bullshit they were doing down South
Echo18
Jon may have promised them lands, but who's to say Sansa would honor that promise once she's Queen in the North? She didn't trust wildlings.
FreddyBarnsniffer
Said the same thing to my wife
OhNoNotThatGuyQuickEverybodyHide
It's their home, they only left because of the army of the dead.
CaptainMorganTheFreeman
They also left because it was a frozen wasteland & they wanted to farm/stop having to fight for existence ever second of their life
molotovb
Hmm, where does it say that?
CaptainMorganTheFreeman
One rant by Mance Raydar or another
molotovb
*vague hand waving*
CapableTrash
They're used to not being governed, plus there are no evil zombies up there anymore!
ColonelColon
Nah. People have fought wars for a single acre of decent land. Nobody in their right mind would give that land up for an icy wasteland.
Schmuck4hire
Still a savage winter, tho.
HelloIAmAnInnocentBystander
Eh, the writers kinda forgot the winter alongside the rest. Weather looks pretty nice for an apocalypse.
lysani
Remember back when they showed how the Night King was made? The area north of the wall back then was lush and green before he was there.
CaptainMorganTheFreeman
They'd have no way of knowing that. For all the know it's still a frozen wasteland and they're walking out there to go back to a slow death
Slydevil13
they also showed that patch of green grass growing in a close up. it will get warmer
MIniMenInChests
Something I can actually enjoy about this season. Thank you.
Tubularballs
Yeah. Key difference, the shot of the green shoot. Implying new life beyond the wall without the ice pricks.
Slydevil13
whats dumb is theres a ton of cool callbacks like this but the rushed writing and shitting on prophesies overshadowed the good in the season
CreatureFromtheBlackLegume
Right? Like when the dragons were stolen and Dany was in the tower and she sees the iron throne covered in snow and then we see it again
WeAllLiveInAUserSubmarine
Seriously, fuck the prophecies. Everyone thinks they were real just because Maggie the Frog got a couple of lucky hits
Slydevil13
That one is forgivable. But they spent 7 seasons building up prince that was promised only to say OPE FUCK IT SuBvErT ExPeCtAtIoNs
HellooooNurse
Unpopular opinion: it's not the best season, but the only thing I truly disliked was the brothers saying Dany "forgot" about the fleet 1/2
BestNameEverOfAllTime
That was the biggest overreaction of all time. I think they didn't mean it that way, more like "Dany had a lot of other things on her mind".
HellooooNurse
Coming from you I feel safe in assuming "of all time" is not an overstatement
HellooooNurse
Sure I'm sad it wasn't a couple episodes longer, but I enjoyed it. 2/2
DeeDoubleYu
even then he said it offhandedly in an interview... like, don't take it as the law yknow
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
I’m with you. It’s easily the worst season, but it isn’t bad enough to warrant a shitfit or to “ruin” the series. It’s still a good series
Zixtank
Wholeheartedly agree. I enjoyed this season.
catapulter
Im with you, it really is unpopular.
DeeDoubleYu
also I really liked this season, was a good send off imo ^^
HellooooNurse
Leaves the door wide open for an Arya spin off... Which could be really awesome or terrible, but I'd give it a shot.
DeeDoubleYu
I mean West of Westeros is a pretty fantastic show name.
HellooooNurse
Or they could all fuck us up and call it "into the west" and it turns out game of thrones is actually just set in middle earth thousands 1/?
aaaaachoooo
Was the best season..not everyone was happy with it but I loved it..might not be what I was expecting but who cares ?
FreddyBarnsniffer
Raecracy123abc
Wasnt she is the same room Jamie Cersi & Tryion in? When he stopped at the Dragon's head I was waiting for him to causally stroll by them
jakeoflake
Yes! she is still alive unless she was crushed
Yojoo
No reason to believe she was being fed. Pretty sure she was left to starve next to her daughter's corpse.
jakeoflake
cersi said she would be force fed and kept alive to watch her daughters corpse turn to dust
bixby66
Oh yeah Bitch Squad. That was a fun episode before they all got fucked up in the next.
Reofrax
and the fuckin nun, what the fuck happened to her
boatymcboatfaceplant
You're right. Shame!
youcancallmesusanifitmakesyouhappy
The mountain....well he mounted
Izzdelp
If I recall correctly, The Mountain.
MantisTobagganMD
She got raped to death by Ser Zombie Gregor. Implied, very strongly.
FreddyBarnsniffer
That was the nun
Reofrax
i mean he can do that in 1 thrust probably, but Cersei said she wasnt going to die for a long time
NarratesTheDarkerStory
Good D giveth, and Good D taketh away, amirite boys? oh, really? completely inaccurate? my bad. I'll check my sources better next time.
airen
She starved a long time ago by now
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Nah, they would have fed her. Cersei wanted her to stay alive long enough to see her daughter not only die but her body rot away.
Diddleryn
The guards were ordered to make sure she kept eating
Deathox120
only til her daughter died, she ded
LiterallyNothingAvailable
No she needs to rot and her bones turn to dust.
Diddleryn
Cersei specifically said she wanted Ellaria to watch her daughter rot because that's all she could imagine of Myrcella
Deathox120
true but its been like what maybe a few months between that scene and the finale so she either died when the red keep went boom
davidc21
Probably ordered her death right before the siege, would of been nice though if cersei said to kill her at the start of episode 5
eion85
Anyone else think Jon Snow isn't coming back?
semperrva
I think that's what is implied, which is dumb, as that would mean he would be deserting the watch, whose very existence is dumb, against 1/2
semperrva
His character, which whole issue could have been circumvented by "banishing" him to the barren far north instead of specifically the watch
WereStillFlying
I think it more shows that he is a leader to a people who need him, more than just the commander of the Watch. His duty is rebuilding
Slydevil13
he became king beyond the wall pretty much. Doubt the nights watch was gonna tell him no after all that happened
BestBrian
Jon Snow for Night King 2020!
AllHailTrumPutiNaMo
He is the hero Westeros deserves, but not the one it needs right now.
BrokenMegaman
I'd say he is more of their hero then Westeros's really. Why didn't they stay south and keep the lands they promised?
eion85
Tormund said they don't feel right down South.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
As one of the last scenes showed winter was already retreating. And their main reason for wanting to go south was fleeing the White Walkers.
FieldTester96
I think it more implies the nights watch is now the wildlings. Since if he was gonna desert he wouldn't be wearing his lord commanders black
eion85
He's not going to ride out of Castle Black wearing wildling gear as a big "I'm deserting guys. Second time, last time! Bye bitches!" signal.
RealityInflicted
But would he ride out of castle black as high commander without a nights watch life guard?
eion85
Are we sure he's Lord Commander? Just because he was before doesn't mean he is again. Could just be a ranger like his Uncle Benjin.
FieldTester96
Nah if you remember the whole watch has ended speech they make a point to say that coat means he is the lord commander
Echo18
Yes. He's going to end up taking over for Mance Rayder as King Beyond the Wall.
HelloIAmAnInnocentBystander
Well he's now an undead, leader of the far north, banned from the south. Give him a few decades and he'll do a fine Night King!
NeurionVerus87
No shit
thefirstofhisusername
Yes. Obviously.
TheWombatStrikesAgain
I feel they oversold the whole deal the the Daenerys loyalists, because the Night's Watch is now almost exclusively wildling (who revere (1)
TheWombatStrikesAgain
Jon as kind of a god) and doesn't have a real duty. So basically it's 'exile light' - banning him to a place he'd want to go anyway. (2)
IamSmorris
That’s exactly the point though, the deal was enough to get shot of the unsullied, not to punish Jon
YoSoyMilk
That’s exactly what was implied. I don’t think it’s really a matter of opinion.
eion85
Good, glad I'm not the only one who thought that.
asmallcat
I disagree - this entire show has been Jon being forced to do things he didn't want to do. What is the one, single thing that Jon 1/2
asmallcat
specifically wanted? To be a ranger in the night's watch. He has finally gotten that. I think that's what he will keep doing. 2/2
Jineapple
I disagree. For me, going beyond the wall doesn't make too much sense, and for that the scene doesn't make it clear enough.
YoSoyMilk
He was the only crow in a huge crowd of wildlings. Why would he just immediately leave if he wasn’t staying with them
Jineapple
Idk? Why would he immediately abandon his vows though? The thing is, I can't even trust logic like that anymore since that's not always
Jineapple
upheld by the series itself. It could really be either.
Anthf
He could be going to amass an army.. same with Arya
LetAllYourAngerOutOnMeIDontBite
Neither of them are going to amass an army..
Anthf
Hey your guess is as good as mine
TheAlviss
I liked his departure. He was most happy beyond the wall with yiggrit, the first time he was ever able to be himself- to be independent.

eion85
No, that he's gone north of the wall for good.
steviEa
I think he has. I think the message was that while he wasn’t the new King of Westeros he became the new King beyond the wall. 1/2
steviEa
And the reason they kept panning between all the Starks is that in some right they were all Lords/Kings/Queens of something in the end
PeteVenkmann
I love this theory.
kinggoosethefirst
I don't think so. He's always been bound by duty, so I don't think he'd say sack it and leave. Probably leave the gate open all the time tho

The gate closed behind him.
