The last episodes will be tense peace negotiations before they sign the Treaty of Westeros (Westphalia), foreshadowing the next series: Game of Parliaments.

At this point what actually happens in the finale is completely unimportant because the show already jettisoned the things that made it so engaging in the first four seasons. Its pure spectacle now. It'll be completely nonsense, the dialogue will be terrible and the big moments will probably land flat because the build up is so poor, but it'll also be very dramatic, it'll have something that makes you go "holy poo poo" (for good or bad) and you'll probably get a bunch of amazing shots in there too. Maybe I'm just jaded, but literally every spoiler I read now I just think "yeah gently caress it, why not, what difference does it make to this big dumb show anymore".

It would really have been more Game of Thrones, to in that climatic pause moment, as the Night King and bran look at eachother, instead of drawing his sword, in a voice the sound of cracking ice he said something along the lines of: 'You have forgotten the pact we made with your namesake ancestor Brandon 'The Builder', you have allowed men beyond our wall. Worse, you brought dragon fire to our lands. We have now returned them all to you. Do not break our pact again. Ensure no men enter our lands.' And with that twirled and left, as the wights collapse around them, left for the humans to bury. It turns out that the ice monsters are more trustworthy and easier to negotiate with than Cersi, and they were upholding ancient promises long forgotten. That the magical ice wall, belonged to the magical ice people the whole time. That the institution that was the Nights-Watch were meant to carry out half remembered duty to kill those men who wander beyond the wall was part of an ancient bargain, and that Nights Watch let things get out of hand and had unknowingly been facing the wrong way the whole series. That the wildlings, and the three eyed raven, and eventually the Nights Watch and Jon and his expedition were the transgressors here, and the Night King's actions punitive. Then again: while thematically and historically appropriate, in the modern political climate: 'here is a wall, keep off our lands, you can't settle here', is probably not a healthy message to send out moral-wise. Edit: having said that, the current - 'we let our border defences down and then an unstoppable horde of evil swept through' is not a good moral either. Maybe with some other choice of wording, better than mine above, this 2010 style ending could have made it clear that 'white' walkers performing ethinc cleansing and punitive strikes is horrible and costly versus, just talking to The Other(s) and sharing the land.

Its Coke posted:Wait is that thing about the actors true As much as I want to believe it, it seems a bit unrealistic. I mean, these are adults working on a blockbuster show - there's too much money on the line for either of them to act out. If nothing else they'd have to be in the same room for table reads and that sort of rehearsal/logistical stuff. On the other hand, Bronn and Cersei have, iirc, two or three scenes where they're even in the same room: - the pre-Blackwater conversations in the throne room - she brusquely walks past him when he visits Tyrion after the Blackwater - the convening at the dragon pit And every time we hear about Bronn getting some reward that would involve the queen, it's second hand. So maybe it is legit.

True. On that note, where did this info about D&D wanting to quit the show come from? I've never heard anything to that effect anywhere, although given the disdain for the material on display over the past 3 seasons I absolutely don't doubt it.

Mat Cauthon posted:True. They mentioned it jokingly in an interview. WEISS: Like President Obama, we want to leave while all the people watching this show are really into it. Get out at a high point and not have it be, well thank god that’s over. BENIOFF: It’s two more seasons we’re talking about. From pretty close to the beginning, we talked about doing this in 70-75 hours, and that’s what we’ll end up with. Call it 73 for now. What Dan says is really true, but it’s not just trying not to outstay your welcome.

My guess (if true) is they’re trying to mirror what Jaime did with Tyrion when he helped Tyrion escape after the trial? Maybe appealing to his unborn child as a reason to let her live?

They’ve had Tyrion be the most openly good person on the show along with Jon and removed a lot of his worse actions and motivations. I can see them making it so he saves Cersei somehow even though she wants him dead and he should probably not want to help her, even if he’s not openly murderous towards her.

The only play left I see for Tyrion is something dumb like Dany (or Cersei) burning KL to the ground and Dany being blamed for it so Tyrion gets ahead of it and takes the blame and says it was his plan all along in order to make it look like he betrayed Dany in order to exact revenge against Cersei. Dany gets a pass, Tyrion is accused of treason (again) and sent to be executed (again) but this time he really does die. He spent most of his life wanting to live up to the Lannister name now and at the end he finally takes up the mantle by effectively ending the line. This of course is assuming Jaime dies elsewhere.

If they both get killed just lmao, good job HBO I remember thinking for ages about how it'd be interesting to see some aftermath of tens of thousands of Dothraki living on Westeros. Instead we got a 3 minute scene that guaranteed nobody'd ever have to deal with any non white people in Westeros. Whew!

I was reading the dropped threads thing and got to ‘there must always be a stark in winterfell’ and was like ‘well Sansa’s been here a while’ and then remembered wtf they did to Jeyne Pool. And Theon loving got a reunion moment for it last episode even.

Yeah having the big climactic moment in episode 3 feels pretty dumb. Like we still have the war with Cersei but who honestly gives a poo poo? She's been the same character since like season 3. Good actress, but the character is whatever. And Euron is the most milquetoast character. There's no way any of it is going to feel all that satisfying.

I think the point now is we're in the GoT equivalent of the Scouring of the Shire, a part of LotR that GRRM has outright said he finds brilliant. The Great Evil has been defeated and now the characters who sacrificed so much to save the world have to clean up the lesser, more petty evils.

The dumbest thing about those spoilers, if true, is they mean the entire Essos arc was an utter and total waste. All that “I need to learn to be a good Queen” stuff, the entire, what, 2 seasons in Mereen, everything learned and then she’s just the Mad Queen from day loving one?

The way to solve the Dothraki dumb charge would've been to have Sansa tell Dany, "We don't have the food to feed your army and Dragons, the Dothraki need to kill their horses so we can use them for food, they won't be any use in the battle anyway" and we could have conflict with Dany and Sansa that way and also with Dany's army who start to doubt her for bringing them up here. Then when Jon tells Dany about his parents she can have justifiable anger that his sister just made her cripple half her army which is now mostly useless without horses to ride and knowing the other half is going to be decimated by the battle. Also get rid of the siege weapons and then we've saved a bunch of budget for other stuff and don't have as much stupid battle tactics happening on screen. You can still have the lights getting snuffed out by saying they set up range-markers for the archers to fire at as the zombies got closer.
