So after interest plummets in GoT, GRRM's going to be freed from all his burdens and ride off on a really strong white horse never to be seen again, right?

regulargonzalez posted:Jon learning about his lineage made him stop loving his aunt, which probably was the tipping point for her to go scorched Earth. So Sam literally made the world a worse place by telling Jon about his parents. Basically every single person would have a better outcome if Jon was still ignorant: King's Landing isn't nuked which is probably good for the tens of thousands that got burnt up, Jaime doesn't die in a pile of rocks, etc. I still think it's weird that he never actually specified that this was his reason. Like, I'm certainly not pro-incest, obviously, but at no point does a character actually say, "loving your aunt is weird and wrong." Hell, I can't remember a character actually saying, "Dany is Jon's aunt." I'm super down with a show respecting its audience and assuming they can read between the lines, but let's be honest, that sure as poo poo isn't what this show has been doing for a very, very long time if ever. So the absence of an explicit reason for not loving his aunt is weird*. *I mean, no it's not, obviously, because you shouldn't gently caress your aunt, but considering the tone of the show, I'd have expected Jon to give a big speech about how it was wrong, because if there is one thing this season sure as poo poo is not, it's subtle.

Jon immediately ditches Night's Watch, since it's not needed and they only did that to make Grey Worm happy and Grey Worm immediately left the continent. Sansa personally beheads him as an oathbreaker. Or Bran. Whichever

Like, I'm certainly not pro-incest, obviously, but at no point does a character actually say, "loving your aunt is weird and wrong." This invokes one of the criticisms of recent seasons that I think is super valid and on point: the show simply cannot stop switching back and forth between framing character's actions or responses in accordance with modern morality versus (ostensibly) medieval morality. There's no reason for Jon to be that skittish about hooking up with his aunt. Lords marry their cousins and other close relatives all the time, both out of convenience and to keep the family wealth secure. We can probably assume it's common among Westerosi smallfolk as well. He wasn't raised in the Targ tradition like Dany was, but it's well known Targs married siblings for centuries, despite the risk of inbreeding. He and Dany didn't grow up together and seemed pretty solidly in love (as much as one can expect for what is a romance of months at most) before the lineage bomb dropped. We're supposed to assume that Jon is uncomfortable because of the new knowledge because we're uncomfortable with it, rather than any one of the logical reasons (lingering guilt over Ygritte, anxiety over a relationship with a powerful woman, inexperience on his part, stresses of rule, etc). It's one of those things that could be resolved with a conversation between the characters but since no one actually talks to each other on this show except to move the plots pieces around it's just left undeveloped.

Drogon would probably be fine with them borking, too, because as preciously established, Game of Thrones dragons are voyeuristic perverts.

Show would be redeemed if the post credits scene is Drogon violently eating Dany's body. That's about as grimdark as it gets.

Kind of a dick move from Tyrion if he's the one to send Jon to the Wall instead of Jon deciding that on his own. Also it rules that the show ends with Big Brother on the throne, really inspiring poo poo there.

Typo posted:but no we get BRAN as king because “We had an assistant named Dave Hill,” said Benioff and Weiss. “One day last summer he walked into our office and said, ‘You know that kid (Bran) who gets pushed out a window? The one who is crippled and has to spend the rest of his life sitting down?’ ‘Yeah?’ ‘Well,’ said Dave, ‘doesn’t it make sense that he’d sit on the Iron Throne? Where else is he going to sit?’ ‘You’re right,’ we said. ‘That does make sense.’ ‘And what if after the battle for King’s Landing he’s the one who ends up becoming king?’ This year, everyone hates the writers on the show.”

It's going to be hilarious when the next episode starts and all the Starks are in King's Landing, despite "There must always be a Stark in Winterfell" and the fact that, after all she's been through, Sansa would never leave the North again.
