So the unsullied have no testicules, correct? But tthey were given some piece of land out in the desert to go live in.

Um. What are a bunch of dudes with no balls going to do out in the desert? Will they form soccer leagues to kill time waiting to die of natural causes?

frick Bran.

Seriously. Close your eyes for a moment and try to imagine what people voting in democratic king elections would look like when Bran dies of old age. Imagine the king debates and campaigning etc that we’re supposed to believe can happen in the brutal fantasy world they spent creating for eight years.

So stupid.

The dragon destroyed the sword chair because it killed his mom and because it causes so much trouble. So symbolic! And now democracy will be installed! Weeeeeee!

I feel nauseous.

Yep. It severely hurts the re-watchability of the show. Why get invested in 7 seasons worth of intricate plot developments for most of them to not matter at all in the end? It retroactively makes the show worse, just like The Last Jedi did to The Force Awakens if you're a Star Wars fan.

This was exactly my thought process during that meeting of lords

So Sam Tarly gets laughed at like a jackass for suggesting a free election. They appoint raven bran as king. Then sansa tells her uncle to stfu, declares herself queen of an emancipated North, and Jon who the planet would no longer exist without gets a life sentence on a wall that no longer even serves a purpose

Makes total sense

In the same scene and only a couple minutes apart, they went from the wink, wink joke where everyone laughed at the idea of the people choosing a king..... to Tyrion making a case for Bran to be King because he couldn't have children which would mean the people would get to choose their next king.

Same scene. Two minutes apart.

Democracy? Oh heavens no. Are you kidding? chortle chortle chortle > then 2 minutes pass > All hail Bran the infertile! We have ushered in a new era where the people will select their rulers! Woot! woot!

GOT was an intricate, high skill performance on the uneven bars.

The gymnast attempted an unorthodox dismount, and stumbled on the landing.

Why did the last episode have to be the worst single episode of the entire franchise though? By 500 miles.

I really liked the first 5 episodes this season. I'm not one to get hung up on the plot lines not working out in such n such a way and all that because the intense epic visuals and effects and music and all that were off the charts badass and made up for everything else.

But, then when the writers were having a meeting about scripting out the last ever episode somebody ripped a pungent high-temp lingering boiled-egg fart. And they thought the stench was a great idea and so they tried to re-create it on screen for the last ever episode.

This is the only explanation that makes sense for putting Snob-lips McGee on the throne. DAMMIT! This sucjks

Even if they keep it to just the lords selecting the next king, can you imagine the politicking and murderous plot hatching nightmare that will become? Each king will last 5 days before someone assassinates him.

Everything other than Bran on the throne happened about like I expected. I was pretty positive that Jon would kill Dany, Sansa would be QitN, and that Jon would go north of the wall.

The cutting of various plot lines really took the steam out of the drama towards the end.

Imagine a finale to Breaking Bad if the Game of Thrones writers were in charge....

Walt lives and after a good cry, his son and wife forgive him. And Saul pulls some strings and the governor of New Mexico issues a pardon. Skylar’s sister moves to San Francisco because she’s raw about Walt getting her husband killed. But the car wash has a very profitable year which generates talk between Skylar and Walt of opening a second location.

This debate would be the final scene as they eat bacon and eggs for breakfast with the son and baby daughter. But they’re in a rush because they’re going to help Jessie move into his new house at 9:30 and tonight is board-game family night. Roll credits
