The first 25 minutes was excellent, surprisingly so. Its the best looking episode of the season. The show has clearly borrowed from the dark souls aesthetic late on, in a good way. The Dany ending was fine, if you squint past her character development from past episodes. The dragon in the snow was so dope.

The love and death of duty speech was painful dialogue. The council scene was quite rough and just gave the audience a chance to see all the characters they've fecked up over the last few years. So much bad talking. After that it was all a bit of a fudge, but that's understandable when you have to tie everything up for the simpleton demographic. A very schmaltzy but competently handled ending.

Overall though it was nowhere near as fecking dreadful as some of the previous episodes. It's like when you are 7 nil down and get a worldy in injury time.

I hope everyone enjoyed the cherry on the top of their trash heap.

In my opinion feck off.
Apt username if you’re even attempting to defend that.

Would have been better if Jon had ridden the Dragon back to Valeria with the Corpse.

He already said the ending for the main characters will be exactly the same.

The journey to get to those points will just be better handled
I don't believe a sh!t he says. I am glad I have WOT to console me. At least it has a proper ending.

Was that somehow satire? Have I missed something?

As a book reader/show watcher/nerd I'm not even sure I'm mad. That was so bad as to almost be a work of art of its own. It might be genius - take the biggest show in history, and reduce it to that.

One of the worst hours of television in history. Maybe the worst given what had happened before. Finally, Dexter can rest as not being the show with the most tarnishing ending.

Really disappointed by that. The character decisions were wrong all season & not consistent. No chance Jon would’ve been a prisoner when they were killing Lannister soldiers earlier.

Shit writing all season. Felt like a parody.

That was disgusting. I'm lost for words for how shit that was. That made season 7 look like a masterpiece. There goes any chance of me watching this over again.

Same. Prepared me a bit I still didn't think it would be this bad/cheesy after Dany was wrongly taken
Fecking shock you read leaks :lol:

So after all that Jon ends where his story pretty much started?

That was dreadful.
I'd say, his (and the rest really) stories ended up where they wanted to be. Jon at the wall, uniting people. Sansa a queen. Arya doing whatever the feck she wants. feck knows what Bran wants though.

On course for probably the worst rated finale in TV history
Shouldn't be though. But it's cool to hate game of thrones now so will be.

I think it was an okay ending. Only thing I specifically didn't like was tyrion laying down the law whilst in chains :lol:. Also felt Jon deserved more than the wall, he's the last targaryen! What he always wanted so fair enough I guess.

The first part was really good including the part where the dragon flew away with danaerys. The rest just felt like a different show. The small council scene was especially bad.
Stop living up to your username laugh out loud.

But I agree.

As I mentioned earlier, I’ve defended this show for quite some time but even I have to admit, that surely has to be one of the worst season finales of all time. It was absolutely pathetic. This season has ruined a very good tv show.

Amazing how nobody said in Dragon Pit that Jon Snow is the rightful heir. It is just unbelievable how badly they fecked this up, I can't get over it.

Just feck off D&D, GRRM and HBO for making us watch this miserable ending.

Well that small council scene was really horrible. Before that it was good. After that it became horrible.

The ending though :lol:

I mean it was rushed and pretty bad, but people are just overreacting at this point, it was Ok ending for the characters, but fans just want blood at the moment I guess.

This is like a matchday thread at the moment, kneejerking all over the place. :lol:

Jon wasn't a Nights Watch though. It showed him specifically leaving Castle Black with all the remaining Wildlings and heading North. Confusing end for Jon, was he a Nights Watch or wasn't he?

Making him King would mean risking another mad king/queen in the future.

How do you know?
First few episodes are the most important. They have hired a very good Director for that. I have been following it closely. The community on Reddit eventhough Amazon are keeping a low profile about the show. I think this could be the next big thing.... bigger than LOTR series.

That’s what turned it. That council scene was absolutely horrific and the ending was just inexcusable. Before that, I thought the episode started off really well and then it’s like as soon as Jon killed his queen, they must have ran out of ideas on how to end it well.

I've been wanting to watch GOT from season 1, but I want to wait after it all finished. Should I start watching it or is the ending will be a total let down?
