I hope the very last episode pans out of King's Landing to some field where 2 dirty peasants are working the land

"I heard from Jon Rumplecock the blacksmith that there's a new queen"
"who the gently caress cares, get back to work"

roll credits.

not caring to hit or miss.
So that you dishonor him before the judges



i like the people who complain incessantly about the episode and then recommend equally if not more hacky solutions to the problems they had with it

"it was dumb that arya killed the night king. it should've been jon fighting the night king in an epic sword battle, and then arya comes out at the last second and stabs the night king in the back"

its almost like people dont care about hack writing at all

That's true for a lot of monsters though. Like werewolves are hard to hurt, but super weak against silver. You make a new monster and nobody knows how to kill it. Did we try bismuth yet? The branch of a Yew tree anointed with the tears of a squirrel? It's gonna be a while before anyone gets around to trying not-obsidian.

How did the first guy find out vampires are weak to garlic? What part of blood drinking undead skulking around in the dark indicates "weak to aromatic root vegetables"?

The OG vampires were in the Balkans so Balkans cuisine being what it is they probably figured that out within three seconds

cersei hears that all the dothraki screamers and unsullied slave murderers are dead and cries. "the only reason the people wanted me as queen was to protect them from the immigrants! now I am the immigrant army!" as she spins around and around and around and turns into a corncob, qyburn smiles and peels off his mask, but you never get to see his real face as the screen fades to black

She was able to die because her service to the lord of light was completed.

I think the seasons last for years in the GOT world. It's been strongly implied that the winters are getting longer due to the Night King's power growing, but IIRC the winter right before the show started was several years long.

e: I think "sweet summer child" has a much more literal meaning in this show

Theoretically could they not have soaked the entire field in alcohol, left a small contingent beyond the city walls on the only patch not soaked, then when the wave comes they light the whole field ablaze including the wooden stuff Melisandre lit? They drink enough alcohol on the show they should have just been throwing bottles at the undead then lighting up.

Alcohol also doesn’t freeze

I feel like we've only ever seen people drinking beer and wine, neither of which is alcoholic enough to be flammable.

She helped in literally zero way.None of the fire made a difference.
The numbers of the dead were so much no one made an impact until Arya stabbed the night king.
Lol there were practically a million zombies just running over things and everyone important survived somehow. You've got a thousand zombies pouring over the walls and Arya had a cool sequence killing about 20 back to back but then suddenly in the library it's stealth mode for some reason.

In the after the show thing, they said the Night King only died because Arya stabbed him in the exact spot the Children of the Forest had used the dragonglass to create him from or something. Does that make any sense to anybody?

Wow so the canon explanation for why the anime ninja attack was super effective is because she targeted the boss's glowing weak spot.

That would have been more believable if she or anyone landed a hit on him beforehand and he just shrugged it off.

Tune into the fireplace channel, you absolute buffoon
Next episode we find out that the zombie horde is still coming, and the winter is worsening. Killing th night king only made them uncontrolled so they rampage along the newcoming ice age. There always must be a night king... A king in the north.

After easily defeating Cersei, Dani and Jon get married and Jon puts on a spiky spooky helmet and goes all icy and becomes the new night king lmao
