Also isn't Dany doing the whole burning massacre thing just highlighting the fact that those who wage war in the name of a good cause are always the more monstrous and destructive?

That's why I hope the ending is a bleak new tyrannical queendom and the moral being fuck the monarchs and there's no such thing as a good war , power corrupts etc

I think you'll find last SUNDAY was fire.

I'm going to have to stay off Twitter on Monday because everyone got so spoilerific last week after having been pretty good previously. None of the things I accidentally picked up were massively surprising, but it was a bit annoying.

Interesting. Do you distinguish from those who feel it has become too narrative incoherent to remain with their disbelief suspended and have had something of a gestalt shift in that respect? And those who think that the use of magic as a consistent "fantasy technology" broke down this season, it became nothing but a deus ex machina to ramp up and down as per plot needs rather than maintaining a coherent presence? GRRM famously has a "soft magic" system, one of the illustrating examples of it (Sanderson and GRRM are pretty good mates) but even soft magic systems have to be consistent if they are to be used for plot resolution (i.e. the wild swings in dragons abilities).
Obviously its a world of opinions and theories you might say, each to their own! I was just curious about how you seen your comment fitting into the wider discussion.

I think you might be taking it all a bit too seriously.

sorry for getting in the way of you all gloating at nerds. Clearly you are all way too cool for people like me.

There's really no need for that
No one's gloating at nerds - I identify as a nerd! But tbh you sounded like you were sneering, which is why I posted. I respect the fact that some people want to obsess over it, and you all fill your boots, but you must know that it's quite funny from the outside because really it's just a TV show made from some (pretty trashy 
) books.ferrelhadley

it's just a tv show. nerd yourself off but the fact remains, as polly said - they were trash in the first place - enjoyable but total nonsense that of course doesn't bear the scrutiny you are needlessly giving it. why put yourself through this kind of stress, it will only disappoint.
lol
Just another nerd hating oaf.

Perhaps at your level of functioning, imagining someone having "stress" makes you feel superior to them.
But do you really think you have any clue about what entertains me and I enjoy?
Gloat away. Have fun. All this sturm und drang came from me trying to get someone to clarify who they were seething about.
