Just that really... the last two episodes have been so slow!

Arya kills Dany secretly and then dons her face and takes the Iron Throne. Grin

These are good fun. Particularly enjoy the idea of Drogon having laid eggs

LaurieMarlow · 16/05/2019 21:27

According to that link the R+L=J theory goes all the way back to 1997!

IHeartArya · 16/05/2019 22:38

That’s my favourite theory TheCat

WOuld be amazing

At this point I'm just happy that Samwell and Tormund are still alive.

I think Bronn needs to make an appearance in the last one to tie up loose ends but I don't think he'll survive.

Reading this thread is like my disastrous attempts to read French. I see the words but I've never watched the show so it is all 😐...... French to me lol

RiversDisguise · 17/05/2019 10:52

Lol... same here, @goawaywillya. Never watched it but for some reason am enjoying reading people's reactions to it. Aren't we weird? 😁

Game of Thrones petition: 500,000 demand series eight remake www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-48303921

Now that would be a twist!

TigerJoy · 17/05/2019 12:25

I would love it if Drogon had laid more eggs! I want more dragons!

I'm finding it a bit of a chore to watch to be honest. It feels rushed - what on earth have they done with Jaime? Theoretically his actions in the last few episodes have been interesting but they needed to set it up. Have a few conversations about loyalty / honour whatever. He could have been going to stop Cersei then realised it was all too late - that would have been more interesting and tragic, and only taken a couple of lines of dialogue.

To be honest I'll be a bit relieved when it's over!

I strongly agree with this! It would have been easy to make the same conclusion more satisfying!

Let’s pray for more dragons and more dragon eggs!

I really really really want Bronn’s nasty crossbow scene to become relevant. Perhaps he ends up killingTyrion? He needs to end

Up being important and in the mix somehow otherwise what was the point of the scene?!

TigerJoy · 17/05/2019 14:11

I know! It was so random! But why would he bother with Cersei dead?

TwittleBee · 17/05/2019 14:18

Yeah I agree with that scene, although maybe that was part of the writers justification of how Jamie started to realise he needed to go back to Cersei?

PurpleFlower1983 · 18/05/2019 04:40

I’m rewatching from the beginning and have just watched the episode in season 2 where Daenerys goes to the house of the undying. She has a vision of the burnt out throne room and then turns away from the iron throne, instead going beyond the wall to Khal Drogo and her son. This seems to predict the ending. Do you think the warlocks were trying to protect her fro her fate?

crispysausagerolls · 18/05/2019 05:46

Do you think the warlocks were trying to protect her fro her fate?

No, they just want her for her dragons as they increase their power - the book sequence is more terrifying and more clear on this, but with several predictions (none of which I can remember).

DH and I started to rewatch yesterday and paused in every bloody scene lol to ask “DID THE WRITERS KNOW THEN?!?” Eg when they Jaime says he wants a clean death.

IHeartArya · 18/05/2019 08:12

Doesn’t Jaime say in an earlier season he wants to die with or in the arms of the woman he loves? I seem to remember seeing that on thronecast?

Honeyroar · 18/05/2019 21:42

Yes Jaime did say that. I personally don't think he was intending to kill Cersei for one minute when he returned. He loved her, sadly, and couldn't get her out of his head, nor the bad things he did for her.

I can't see the point of Bron killing Tyrion now, nobody will pay him for it. If he's watching from the sidelines and sees the carnage/works out barely anyone is left, he might as well go and live at High Garden anyway!

Honeyroar · 18/05/2019 21:43

I bet that all the grumblers and petition signees still watch the last episode though!

YouTheCat · 19/05/2019 10:13

Jaime returned because he knew she was going to lose and he wanted to be with the woman he loves.

I think Bronn will die defending Tyrion.

And as for the grumblers and signers of petitions - it's a sodding tv show. Watch it or not but nobody cares.

PurpleFlower1983 · 20/05/2019 09:20

Well I was right about one thing!

InspectorClouseauMNdivision · 20/05/2019 09:51

F*ck me...
That was a quick wrap up...

Summerorjustmaybe · 20/05/2019 10:40

Gutted....

honeybeetheoneandonly · 20/05/2019 11:49

Will be watching it tonight. Don't want to get my hopes up. For those who watched it already, without any spoilers, does it actually have any redeeming features/wraps things up properly or is it in the same vein as this entire season has been?

FlyingElbows · 20/05/2019 12:18

It could have been worse but it's pretty much in the same vein as the rest of it.

ShesABelter · 20/05/2019 14:55

I loved the way they wrapped it up and all the endfings for the characters. I don't really understand what more people wanted to be honest.
