Why are the nights watch or the Wall (with a giant hole in it) required anymore? Or did I miss some slick dialogue in this masterpiece?
Every world needs a place like that.
I saw a leak somewhere or rumor that Drogon was supposed to take her north of the wall. There dead Dany was to be raised by the baby (Craster's son) that was turned into a WW from an episode in season 4, I think. Anyway, she was supposed to be turned into a White Walker and replace the NK. From this rumor, Bran was supposed to have a conversation with Jon telling Jon that Bran has seen through the Wierwork that Jon needs to rebuild the wall because eventually, thousands of years from now, the Night Queen would be coming.
I sort of like that idea that everything repeats itself which is a big story point in fantasy.
...to Star Wars.

Shooters Shoot... love it
1. they recently lost their President https://www.cnbc.com/2019/02/28/hbo-ceo-richard-plepler-resignation-ominous-for-att-warner-buy.html
2. They have stuck to their weird distribution model that marries them unnecessarily to cable.
3. They couldn't control D&D. Despite the availability of funds and demands from viewers they rushed this season and it has showed (see rotten tomatoes reviews)
4. They have stuck with the weekly release schedule instead of netflix style season dump that consumers have shown a preference for
5. Their original content severely lags that of netflix
Though I posted in jest I do think there is something wrong with HBO and the spectacle of this season supports that.
You mentioned Soprano's but HBO was leading the pack at that time with innovative content that couldn't be found elsewhere. They were doing so well that fans were buying the content in media such as DVDs.
Times have changed and HBO has shown it isn't adapting well while also moving away from its core competency of high quality content. Change my mind.
clearly indicates the end of the network.
that everyone is still talking about years later.
For weeks on end, until they didn't (they also didn't like the last season either, but that's just too much crazy. People forget the ratings were way down, and there was a lot of internet hand wringing over the body counts and other turns the last season took).
I remember the episode when Tony finally kills Chris and heads to Vegas to smoke peyote pissing a ton of people on the interwebs off.
much of the internet is the YouTube comments section.
Until it is over.
A few weeks ago I reminded him of it. He replied, "Game of Thrones? I am VINDICATED!"
pen a successful ending to anything.
* This conveniently applies to both the Game of Thrones the TV show and A Song of Ice and Fire the book series.
worked out great
Winterfell?
And he's like "you know who I want managing my money? Bronn, the whore-loving murderer."
Didn't ask Meera Reed to be on his small council, did he. She only sacrificed everything for his creepy immobile vampire ass.
The Dothraki go?
For a swim
To the library
To take a shower
They should have gone north of the wall with the other unwashed, unwelcome, land pirate heathens.
Since they were all named bloodriders, they should have committed suicide upon Dany's death. PLOT HOLES.
Since that clearly wasn’t them who got slaughtered on the battlefield.
What could possibly go wrong?
I thought they showed them on the ships together.
They accepted Grey Worm as khal?
Or if not on the ships, they accepted Bran as khal?
at the council? Besides Edmure, who apparently got out of the dungeon offscreen at some point and who it took me a hot second to recognize. Who was that between Sam and Edmure? And next to Robin and Royce? And to Yara’s right? (The guy to Yara’s left was presumably the Prince of Dorne.)
one.
He was killed offscreen by Lannister men at Riverrun after he decided to do a last stand thing rather than running away. One of them walked up to Jaime and told him.
With a more subtle type and his toadies
But am I supposed to believe that, after Sansa pulled her, “I love you bro, but I ain’t bending no knee” bit, the rest of the council did not tell Tyrion to fuck off because they wanted their own kingdoms too? Especially the squid lovers. Kiss my ass, HBO.
Just another forgotten plot piece in the enormous scrap heap
This entire season they didn’t have characters expand the story with conversations. Davos and Sam didn’t talk to Jon. Tyrian got about 60% of the lines tonight. Jon comes to the north and he and Tormund don’t say anything to each other. At least Ghost got a greeting.
What’s the small council’s plan if they find Drogon?
Capture him?
He has to be good for something.
WARG,hey yeah, WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR? Absolutely NOTHIN'!
him. No more being stuck in a wheelchair for Bran the Broken. Plus the girls will go nuts over him then.
Before thousands of innocent people were burned To death. Or did Bran not see that coming?
That he couldn't do that as long as Drogon was bound to Dany. But it's possible I'm letting book lore cloud my judgement on that.
checkers. How else would he have gotten Jon to finally kill Dany.
Bring back Cersei, at least she was cunning and aware of her strengths
women away from her man.
Didn’t actually exist
Disprove it
story. I assume both are still alive. But never hear anything of them.
I think he has been in a brothel the entire time
this show has become infuriating. I feel like one of those dorks the Simpsons writers are always making fun of.
I mean, it was supposed to keep out the Night King and was the only hope of all mankind. Then he broke through it in about a day, and died anyway right after.
There's really no point in rebuilding it, even if a future Night King style villain is out there.
Jon was sentenced to the watch. Basically a "don't get married and have kids" sentence. But it ends with him heading north. I assume he was blowing off the watch and going to live the rest of his life in the north. So he is not doing what he was sentenced to do.
He should lead. He doesn't want to lead everyone. But now he's going to lead people who need leading, who want him to lead, in a world he understands and appreciates.
It feels stilted and weird how we got here, but I can divine some sense from it.
That look back at the gate sealed it. He’s just gonna hang with his people.
Jon in the north, Jon and Ygritte, was such a big part of the story. The remnants of the first men are the wildings, right? The Targaryen family was an interloper and he is going back to man's roots in Westeros.
I still think he was Azor Ahai by killing Dany - for the good of the realm. It was a great sacrifice because it was his love and sister.
The wildlings basically think of Jon as a god.
He was happiest among them. And with the Night King and White Walkers gone, and wights gone, (and Craster gone) north is objectively a better place.
