But I've yet to figure out a better way to spend my time.
I hope Sam puts Heartsbane through Dany's back.

You don't mean Spartacus do you? Because that kept going.

It is a shame that the lead died, but it also gave us a prequel season of John Hannah chewing the scenery ever harder, so it's not all bad.

What was the thing in the plan that Arya gave Gendry to make for her?

Also, I thought making Jon ride the dragon out of the blue was kind of lame. Thought it was pretty common knowledge that only Targs can ride their dragons. And even if not everyone knows that, Dany definitely should have known and been like “wtf is this”

Clearly that just means that the dragons like him so he should become a targ by marriage.

The poo poo Corpse spoilers were posted like the day after Season 7 ended a year and a half ago before any of the scripts for Season 8 were even written yet so of course those ones are bogus. Real spoilers for Season 8 have been fragmentary and of sketchy quality compared to the whole point-by-point spillage of Season 7 where the whole internet knew Jon and Dany were gonna gently caress on a boat before the season even started airing to the point where Epic Boat Sex literally became a meme.

The big spoiler is supposed to be that Tyrion betrays Dany and ends up getting executed for treason in the last episode.

That seems dumb enough to be real so I'm counting on it happening.

If that one turns out to be true it's going to be amazing because I can't wait to see how literally everyone reacts to the show throwing out Tyrion's entire 8-year character arc for the sake of one dumb twist at the end of all things. I know David and Dan are pretty Galaxy Brained, but that one takes the cake.

i mean tyrion in the last two seasons has basically existed to say cool one liners, it's not like he's important to the plot anymore.

The Sam scenes were pretty good, I'd guess that part would certainly be in GRRMs bullet points.

Nothing else in the episode really felt like it would fit particularly well as a chapter of the books.

The spoilers are fake. "LOL Dany dead covered in poo"

What they've been telegraphing forever is the importance of Azor Ahai. Every other big prophecy thing got tossed out, and greyscale was solved in a day, but Azor Ahai is still a big deal.

And they even had that awful scene with ,"the translation is wrong, there's no gender. It's actually 'the prince OR PRINCESS who was promised'" in order to make everyone think it's Dany.

And here's the thing, here's the GRRMy subversion: Dany, the hero's journey character, has to die. And when she dies it will be because one of the characters with a valyrian steel sword shoved that poo poo into the fire lady's heart.

And when they pull that sword out that poo poo is going to be on fire.

I really didn't rate that episode much at all.
The dragon flight was awfully green screened and so superfluous to anything.

A year off and the budget to spend more per episodes and that's the best they can do? I'm glad this might be the ending GRRM deserves.

Just think of all that elephants that scene could’ve paid for. I’m on team Cersei now

It's also really hard to respect Jon Snow as anything when he talks to his sister and he's looking up at her because he's so short and he can't keep consistent eye contact because Kit Harrington can't act.

It’s weird that they decided in the final season to frame all of the shots with him and Sansa so that he looks tiny. Also Emilia Clarke must be super short since she’s dwarfed by the other two in those scenes.

When I met Kit he looked like he was 5'4 or something, so I cant imagine how short Clarke is, in comparison.

I just came to the realization that Meera and Howland will likely never show up in the show again.
Nomad-type characters and cultures are always cool; it's a big part of why Dune is so good.
Kinda sucks that GRRM isn't keen to produce more of the story he wrote...
