Craig H Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 3 minutes ago, EVA said: I was pretty lukewarm on the finale. Mercifully, they didn't do anything to dig their whole any deeper. But they also didn't really come up with anything that saved the season, in my eyes. The main characters all pretty much ended up where they were expected to, so that was...fine. But the lousy path they took to get them there this season really sucked the emotion out of saying goodbye to these characters. At least Weiss & Benioff can't hurt them anymore. Well, that said...They were probably being cheeky when they came up with "Ask me again in 10 years" as their version of "I'll see you again in 25 years," but I'll be damned if that didn't sound like a threat to me. I missed it or don't remember it and I'm watching MitB right now, but said the thing about seeing someone in 10 years? Was it Tyrion to Jon or Bran to Jon?

It doesn't make the slightest bit of sense that A) anyone would hire him to do it, or B) that he would agree to do it, if anybody even asked him. Tyrion after his mid-series brain damage, obviously. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyWhioux Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 10 minutes ago, Craig H said: One other thing... When Jon was sentenced to go back to I thought, well, what's the point of the Night's Watch now that the white walkers are gone and a bunch of Wildlings are living there anyway. So it was nice to see that the Wildlings were still there, but yeah, what's the point of Castle Black now? Also, the wall got rebuilt really fast. there isn't one [notice how everyone at Castle Black was a wildling?], it's a "wink wink" punishment that actually gives Jon what he wants while placating the people who want him dead until those people leave. There is no Night's Watch and there is no threat for a Night's Watch to guard against; Jon is King-Beyond-The-Wall 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only the debt she incurred to pay the Golden Company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keith_h Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 39 minutes ago, Niners Fan in CT said: I think it was only East Watch maybe that was crumbled? I think the other sections of the wall were okay but I don't remember now. I too was wondering what the point of the Night's Watch IS unless the walker threat is like Pennywise and it comes back every 27 years.. As a joke I was kind of hoping the last shot of the series would be the Night King respawning somewhere in the north... post credits maybe. Just blue eyes shooting open and then the show cuts to black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually waiting for something like that when they were traveling the forest.. like some kind of Night King imagery or the symbol they use.. I didn't need it to happen but it would have warmed my heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.H. Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Am I the only person who got the vibe that being King now is mostly a ceremonial position given who they gasve it to and the real power lies with the Small Council? In the ned Jon Snow gets to be both Maester Aemmon and Mance Rayder rolled int oone James 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) I got the impression that Brann was the Queen and Tyrion was the Prime Minister. I guess that makes Sansa Scotland or something. Edited May 20, 2019 by Niners Fan in CT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
