It's less a logistics complaint than a narrative one. It's already being implied that Westeros is going to be better off with Tyrion as a people-focused hand, and a small council that's getting back to business instead of being completely snared up in Post-Robert political deathmatches. I think Bran's 30 seconds of screentime there could have been spent on something more interesting than showing that D&D didn't Just Forget(tm) that Drogon is still out there somewhere.

Yeah considering the popular version of the story of what Robert had done, how long they had peace with him on the throne, and then what happened when the family he deposed came back, he's probably going down in history as one of the most beloved kings in living memory.

Anyone with any good memories of Targ rule would be Barristan-Selmy-age and even most of them would have lived through the Aerys going nutso and the cover-story about Rhaegar being a kidnapper/rapist so they might not agree with him about those being better times.

I was discussing Drogon just loving off with Dany's corpse and never being seen again with a family member and they said they think that Drogon flew her to Volantis and dropped her off at the Red Temple and Kinvara resurrected her like Melissandre resurrected Jon.

So the real final shot of the series that we just didn't see is Dany laying on a table and gasping for breath as she comes back to life and ready to start this poo poo all over again with no Jon there to stop her this time. Because gently caress you, Game of Thrones.

Last scene is two dornish women, wearing white, in the very south of westeros, standing on top of the other wall, which is made out of fire. They watch two fire elves plus an incorporeal army of spirits advance towards them. One of them asks "should be tell them?" and the other says "nah" and like, eats her bad pussy as the curtain closes.

smdh that they made Bronn a high lord, but didn't have a subplot with him trying to choose a surname, pick out some house words, design a banner, find a politically advantageous marriage, etc.

davos's lands are in the rainwood, yes, but the rainwood is a fairly large region (like the kingswoood) and it is unlikely that the mere landed knights of house seaworth administer the whole of it. For one thing there are multiple castles there

They're just the boyscouts now.

Also who the gently caress got the 1000th Lord Commander title? There are no named Nights Watch left other than Jon who seems to have just... Quit.

I didn't like your old red text so here's some dancing cash. :10bux:
Can you imagine if we had to wait like another 10 years for this? Also the Riverlands isn't apart of the Northern Kingdom for some reason????? Dorne and especially the Iron Islands are gone as soon as they can get out of the capital.

I do like how they didn't know what to do with Arya so they literally put her on a boat alone towards a death sentence. Also Sansa waited until Jon got exiled and then declared independence afterwards so she could be queen. In a better written show that would've been amazing.

We all agree Bran is actually evil though right?

Depends on the theory.

So, the children of the forest were at war with the first men (and in the show they created the Night King and by extension white walkers).

We know they served the old gods and did human sacrifices to weirwood trees (the northmen did as well for centuries, and they still do it in Skagos).

So, if you're on team human, the Old Gods, the CotF, etc. are your enemies.

And Bloodraven just doesn't seem on the level and is up to some shady poo poo as a servant to them.

So, if you believe all the theories about the three eyed crow, the weirwoods, the CotF, and Bran not being Bran anymore but something else, then yeah, King Bran is definitely not on team human.

If GRRM’s ending matches the show as far as Bran is concerned than he has to be Bloodraven that took over his mind/body perma warged I dunno. But since they couldn’t set that up properly D&D gave us a bullet point without the weighting?

Bran could be seeing it in a vision, and as kellyc eyes open up, she points RIGHT AT BRAN! in the vision and says "I'm coming for you Blackfyre" in Valyrian. Somehow setting up that bran has always been the badguy, and that the night king was there trying to save the realm after Blackfyre escaped south in Bran's body.

I'd also accept a Kaiser Sose moment where everyone realizes that all the key decisions that were made - from Kelly burning the city, to Tyrion suggesting Bran, to Jon killing Kelly - were all done by Bran warging into people.

bran warged into his past self to make him climb that tower, then warged into jaime to make him push himself off

warged into rhaegar to make him try to kidnap lyanna, then warged into lyanna to make her go along with it

warged into robert every time robert fathered another illegitimate child
