What a completely rushed wet fart of an ending to the most ambitious TV series of all time.
I read somewhere that HBO wanted another 10 episode season but the showrunners said they could do it in 6. It was obvious the showrunners just wanted to wrap everything up as quickly as possible, but this episode was just the worst.
This season was a complete and utter let down. Battle of Winterfell episode was the only one that was somewhat good, but even then, they went too hollywood. In a story that made itself different with a ‘no one is safe’ dynamic, no one of any importance was killed from the good side in the biggest battle in history.
Then, the dead army completely overruns the castle yet an episode later Dany still has thousands in her army. Then they get surprise attacked by Euron F’n Greyjoy for the one hundredth time. Why did they have to go back to Dragonstone if all of Dany’s troops are already in Winterfell?
Jon and Grey Worm have an altercation in the street, then later, Dany is found completely alone with no guards in the throne room for Jon to just waltz in and kill her? Then, he just magically gets imprisoned by the unsullied and weeks go by with no explanation? Someone walk me through the scenario where Grey Worm or anyone else finds Dany disappeared and they calmly put Jon in a cell. It’s so stupid, and they knew it, because instead of writing it for that scenario to be somewhat believable, they just cut to months later with everyone all of a sudden in King’s Landing. The Dothraki horde definitely seem like a reasonable bunch, no way they’d try to kill Jon for murdering ‘khaleesi’ or anything.
Like minutes earlier, the unsullied are murdering long-surrendered soldiers in the street, but they decide to take a more lenient stance against the guy who murders Dany?
Lazy, uninspired, garbage.
