Reviews on the GOT Finale
I remember watching the show at the age of 13 and immediately falling in love with its uniqueness, its elaborate pattern in music, costumes and visuals.
I cannot praise the actors, executive producers and crew enough for their tremendous effort and their many sleepless nights to bring this epic series to a close.
I pray to all The Seven that the blessings and fortune in this world will befall them. That the actors that we have come to idolize will forge ahead in their career and dominate in the entertainment field.

Down to business on the Finale.
The episode rewards us will characters we haven't seen in a long while like Edmure Tully, Robin Arryn and a prince of Dorne.
After the horrors of the last episode, everyone seems to be recovering fast and that is very progressive.
We saw a couple of our favourite characters smiling and feeling very elevated with their new status.
On the matter of each character ending, personally I choose to not wholly accept it because I'd like to think its D&D's ending.
I could be wrong. GRRM may want this ending too, who knows?
For TV show fans, I think the entire episode is for us to reforge, because at this point everything up to episode five becomes fairly obvious and predictable.
Okay, now I wanna get brutal.
I think the episode is hilarious, I couldn't take anything seriously. From start to finish, everything that happens is in denial of logic and buildup.
Dany, the newly created Stalin/Hitler gives a speech in two different languages to an army of foreigners about liberation absent thought of the liberated being in attendance.
Then, Greyworm is elevated.
Jon is tired of it all.
Beneath the castle, Tyrion finds his dead siblings and then he gives the best teary performance in the entire season. His heart is immediately filled with disgust for Dany. So he decides to publicly throw away his hand of queen pin. Then, he is immediately arrested.
Arya appears out of nowhere, to be beside Jon to remind him what he must do.
Then, there's the unnecessarily long scene of Tyrion and Jon beating about the bush. Both of them ridiculously forgetting the option of banishment since Jon was conflicted over killing the love of his life.
Then, Dany proceeds to become possessed by an unscrupulous entity. Because she kinda forgot that she is MOTHER OF DRAGONS first before anything. She decides to pitch a warped idea of liberation that involves more killing; killing more children and the innocent.
And because there's this trojan virus in her system, she refuses to walk among the streets as she usually does when she conquers a city.
She refuses to see the horror Jon was describing to her because she's afraid of dead bodies maybe.
Knowing fully well Jon has been rejecting her affections, she decides to try again ignoring the fact that Jon is armed. So he stabs her.
Dany couldn't even get her final words out before she gave up the ghost.
Drogon, senses his mother's end proceeds to find her corpse, frighten Jon, burn the Iron Throne and then fly away with her body for unknown reasons.
I know, lots of people weren't convinced or open to the idea of their relationship because it was either rushed or because of their blood ties, but by the gods did they deserved to bear the same fate.
If one lives, the other lives. If one dies, the other dies. Because, these two are the glutinous substance of the entire story.
They were like each other's poison, you know.
Anyways, as a Jonerys shipper I had hoped that Jon would suggest a life of exile together. But Nah! That would be too sweet of an ending right?
Then the Dragon Pit meeting was a piss poor attempt at amusement. Personally, I wasn't amused. What about you?
Edmure's still an idiot, Robin is still ignorant, Davos is still a mediator. Basically, everyone is as themselves except Bran.
When Tyrion offers him the kingship role, Bran smiles for the first time in three or four seasons. And that makes me think that Bran has some sinister plot going on.
Please watch Ideas of Ice and Fire's Ep. Review for more.
Sansa doesn't want to be part of the patriarchy so she whips up a funny reason for independence. Long live the Queen in the North!
Hurrah!
I'm a Sansa fan too but you do realize what she's done. Her actions further alienates The North from Westeros. If its a separate kingdom like Bran's six kingdoms, what is the modus operandi of appointing the next leader?
Is it the same as the six united kingdoms?
If not, The North has just created a future problem of succession because I can imagine that Sansa will want to keep The North in the Stark family.
Please explain to me, Sansa staunch stans, how different is this from what Dany initially had in mind before her descent to madness?
Away from that now, we have Jon's departure.
The regency was built by the Targaryens, so the entire kingdom decides to disregard that and send Jon, the only surviving member of House Targaryen to the wall to live out his days as a bachelor.
I know Jon's family name is a curse, but hells why would you do that to a war hero, a man loved by thousands?
By the way, who the hell is Grey worm to refuse the Lords of Westeros Jon's freedom?
Anyways, one good thing out of all these misery is that Jon gets to fly his hair again and that's really cute. Very symbolic of his fall from grace to grass.
Personally, I wasn't moved by Sansa's farewell to Jon because it is what she's wants all along, to not be contested.
His moment with Arya was beautiful and very convincing. As for Bran, I'm surprised that they didn't even hug.
Jon kneels because he is always the eager follower, as if leadership is some kind of disease.
Back to Square One
Jon goes right back to where he bloody started, with the wildlings.
He is reunited with Ghost and that's super cute.
Then, he and the wildlings decide to journey beyond the wall because by nature the wildlings are roamers.
The Council of Clowns.
Tyrion is the hand again for the 3rd time. He acts out that joke he used to when his father and sister were alive, with sitting arrangements. It wasn't funny in my opinion.
Then to add salt to the injury, we have Bronn as the Lord of HighGarden, Warden of the Reach and Master of Coin. I wonder whose CV he tended, to win himself these positions.
Davos is master of ships. Brienne is the Lady of the Kings guard and Samwell Tarly is the Grand Maester despite the fact that he is a drop-out.
The rules of The Citadel still apply about being unmarried you know, so Gilly's baby will be born a bastard until legitimized by Bran the Broken.
And lastly, Gilly remains his paramour.
Podrick is a member of the Kings Guard because he has mortgaged his co*k to Brienne and the realm, unless the rules have changed concerning kings guard celibacy.
Davos and Bronn bicker a little bit. It kinda parallels Varys and LF.
So, there are other people missing from the council, so Tyrion suggests he has candidates already.
It would be interesting to know who they are because Tyrion has repeatedly said he is an "excellent judge of character."
Bran and Drogon
The new King Bran is worried sick for Drogon and asks about his whereabouts because he wants to adopt him?(maybe).
The Unsullied and The Dothraki
Grey worm decides to take the entire unsullied army to Naath for suicidal reasons. Maybe he hasn't heard of the butterfly sickness.
Then, the Dothraki remain because they are now a peace loving bunch and don't want to see Vaes Dothrak.
Arya
What can I say? At least she explores on her own ship, captaining her own crew. Its a great ending then?
All in All
Everyone in Westeros that hasn't sacrificed as much Jon and Daenerys or even faced one tenth of the emotional struggles, tribulations and hardships gets a good life.
Wow! What a perfect ending!
