Well that was below par.
Or the Hounds chicken scene……”If I here one more word out of your **** mouth…” 😀
Hounds the best, especially when he C-bombs.
Well that was a bit pants. Hope they pull it back for the final episode.
I came from the books, thought the early seasons did a pretty good job. This season was OK up to the Battle of Winterfell which was OK with a few good bits but the last two episodes have just been a bit meh.
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Arya not being burnt to a crisp, all of a sudden having blue eyes and riding a white horse yet. Oh yeah, it's just started snowing in Kings Landing to boot. Did she just take the night king's place?

I thought that was ash!
The ending has leaked online.
I'm assuming it's a joke but I still ain't clicking
all of a sudden having blue eyes
not on my tv...
I think it was just lazy writing and using up a budget.

Yes.
Sums up Sansa pretty well, very fine, very expensive armour - never been in a battle her in entire life and never willingly well be.

It was, but it's symbolism, innit. Winter has well and truly arrived in Kings Landing.

Check this video out, I cant decide if its incredibly inciteful or made up on the spot.

Here's a question I hope someone can help me with as it's only just dawned on me.
Early in the last episode we see Varys talking to one of his Little Birds, a servant Girl (Martha) they exchange a few words about how "she's not really eating now, and the Solders are watching her".
Later on there's a girl, the one with the White Horse Toy in Kings Landing, was that the same Girl?
I thought it was as the time, made it pretty confusing.

The real question is ...was he trying to poison her food?
was that the same Girl?
First girl is on Dragonstone, second one is in Kings landing so, no.
Poison the little girls food? Harsh.
Burn him, I say.

Time and distance have no meaning in this place.
Do you think that's air, that you are breathing? Interesting.
The real question is …was he trying to poison her food?
Ooo.
And maybe he succeeded - it was them funny mushrooms what made Dany go bananas with the napalm.
The real question is …was he trying to poison her food?
Yes, absolutely. Between E4 and E5 Varys had decided to kill her to let John Snow take the throne.
A better question would be, did he manage to do it?
Why take all your rings off if you know you're going to die and have no one to leave them to? Supposedly the last one he took off was his special poison ring.
Anyway, moving on....I can’t believe that they can get close to wrapping up all the lose ends in one episode. Not even close!
Therefore, I believe that there are going to be a lot of very disenchanted GOT fans walking around next week.

Even more than there are now?
Whose character arcs are likely to wrap up rather than be ignored?
I have a feeling that some definitely will (Dany, John, Arya, Sansa, Tyrion) , whilst others we may have already seen drift out of the story (Theon's sister, Brienne, Tormund, the whole of Sunspear).
Others may, or may not have a big part still left to play, but who knows (Bronn, Bran, Gendry).
I have a feeling Bronn will be back to some degree as a person who has played the 'game' to perfection.
I'm just happy D&D aren't involved in the prequels. As it's been leaked I already know some of the main things in the final episode, I'll be watching it but I'm pretty sure it will be generally disappointed - certainly not happy with who ends up on the throne!

Yep....considerably more I reckon. All those characters you want to see probably won’t even feature.
That’s that then
Until the spin offs.....
Time for bed now!
Well, that was satisfactory.
Called it
Surely Bran can just tell Ayra whats to the west!
About 50% of that was ok, and the other half was just mediocre.
Well imagine being buzzed for 2 years for the final season to end with that. 😂
That was just terrible.
That was just terrible.
How would you have done it?
I thought it was great

Me too.
Turns out chaos isn't a ladder. It's a wheelchair ramp.
Iron Bank turn up.
The entirety of the Seven Kingdoms gets repossessed by the lenders.
That chap from League of Gentlemen takes the throne on behalf of the bank.
How would you have done it?
Well I'm not a writer so badly but the people who wrote it are, it was terrible.
As much as I've criticised s8 I don't think the ending was too bad after all, as a whole though I still think s8 was badly done - especially the Night King.
I'll never understand why the something that existed for eight thousand years, the mere mention of which terrified people, only managed to last a few days after going south of the fall and between him and his army only killed a handful of major characters, most of whom had reached dead ends in their arcs anyway. Totally OK with Arya offing him, just not in Winterfell,on day 1 of the battle.
If D&D were constrained by HBO on the season duration and ended up having to basically ditch the whole Night King arc as quickly as possible in order to give a barely adequate amount of time to finish the Dany/Jon/Throne arcs then fair enough I guess. If they wrote it how they wanted to do and that's the best they could do then I'm just thankful they're not involved in the prequels. Star Wars has already been ruined so not much more harm they can do there.
It was lame. The only way it could have been lamer was if they cast Tom Hanks, with a cameo by Billy Joel.
I've watched all 8 seasons over the last few weeks, so I didn't have any big expectations after a long wait for season 8 or anything, and I thought the final episode was great. It worked well, made sense, had me being emotional about it all and seemed in keeping with the tale.
I'd stubbornly refused to watch it at all for years, but I'm glad I did now as I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Good ending I thought, everything tied up nicely.
Only [minor] criticism I’d have is that S8 seems to have been a bit rushed compared to previous series.
I enjoyed it, it was Sad/Happy.
We got very close to a sickly US ending.
I suppose after all that came before, it ended very quickly and sort of quietly.
Nice to see Bron back.
And I got grief a few pages back for suggesting there might be some form of democratic vote!
All things considered, I'm pretty happy with that episode, and the season as a whole. Some stunning visuals, especially the long night and all the scenes in the ash the last couple of episodes.
The writing definitely went downhill a bit, with how much of it was due to being rushed and how much down to the lack of source material we won't know. I didn't see Bran becoming king though, and can't think of any hints that he was planning it, did it come out of nowhere?

Yup the lighting on some scenes of the final episode was superb.
I thought the first half was great with Tyrion finding his brother, second half was a bit......Lord of the rings. Was glad John Snows was redeemed by giving Ghost a pat, made me like him again. Shame the ginger monster didnt get a final comedy line!
No but Tyerion did get a good comedy line.
