Game of thrones season 8 [contains spoilers]

[polly]

A mate of mine said to me once "I gave up on Lost in the second episode. As soon as I saw the smoke monster in the woods I thought - fuck off"

I got to the beginning of season 2 when it immediately became obvious that they were sacrificing all principles of good storytelling for the ability to make shit loads of money from spinning it out for 9 years or whatever it was I will die mad about it but also quite smug because I stopped watching there and then.

What was the point of still having a Black Watch/wall?

As a plot device to get Jon back North

Tyrion said there will always need to be a place for bastards and broken men.

It's a bit like a Norwegian prison

 

[FabricLiveBaby!]

Brienne devotedly writing up Jaime's biography with a nice quill was the shittest bit and a massive let down of her character

Saw this on twitter. Reposting here:

“Jamie Lannister is the nastiest skank bitch I’ve ever met. Do not trust him. He is a fugly slut.”

Yes, no actual purpose though, seemed a bit silly.

Something something full circle something

 

[strung out]

The 'foreign soldiers' would't have left if Jon was just set free; they would have stayed and started a new/continued the old war. He killed their queen, who they'd travelled the world and won the seven* kingdoms for. And they approved of what she was doing, they didn't see her as evil, so weren't about to say "yeah, alright, fair point, call it square?".

To be honest, I was a little surprised they let him get away with staying alive at all.

The Dothraki follow whoever killed their Khal. As the killer of Daenerys, Jon then had the Dothraki's loyalty, meaning the Unsullied and the Dothraki agreed to merely lock him up and wait for the sensible people to arrive and sort it all out for them. That's my head cannon, anyway.

Yeah, I did wonder just after the stabbing if that's how it'd go with the Dothraki.

The Unsullied, of course, followed her for a different reason, so again, would the Dothraki and the Unsullied, not famously pragmatic and diplomatic, be able to agree to just leave Jon be until the Westerosi got there?

Nonsense Lost is still the pinnacle of great TV.

 

[MickiQ]

Grey Worm and the Unsullied were loyal to the point of fanatical, If Jon came down the stairs and said I've just killed your queen, it's hard to imagine Grey Worm not just deading him on the spot.
As for the Dothraki prior to following her, they were your archetypical barbarians into trashing stuff for the hell of it. With her gone I't hard not to imagine them deciding to revert to type and seize the chance for some killing. burning and raping rather than just tamely going home.

But they've learned lessons and stuff from the great Westerosi civilisers...

Yeah good one

 

[T & P]

I thought Brienne was going to turn up being up the duff, and was going to write some cheesy message in the book about a little Jamie growing in her tummy. So thank fuck for that at least...

 

[Virtual Blue]

Did Drogon melt the throne on purpose? Like "fuck you!! Things were so much better when you weren't in our lives."

Yes it was underwhelming but not as shit as season 5.
shame it went out like the way it did...

I think he's just an idiot and thought the pointy chair did his mum in.

Dragon fire can't melt iron thrones ffs!

Some dispute in the work GoT pool as to whether I get my full five bonus points for answering "Who ends up the throne" with "Nobody - it gets destroyed so nobody can fight over it again" because Bran gets the throne, figuratively speaking

That's bollocks Bunch of welchers

 

[Artaxerxes]

Watching clips of Jon marching North I can't help but consider him a bit daft for not promptly saying fuck this shit let's go somewhere warmer and marching South again.

Just on the unsullied how many of them where there? I know Dany got 8000 at Quarth. Who kept producing them? Did she clone them like in Star Wars? Can Unsullied re-animate?

[quimcunx]

I thought Jon was going to ride out on the dragon. I suppose the dragon took her body back to where he was born in flames. He didn't like the cold weather.

I liked that it was snowing in King's Landing. Winter came.

 

[wayward bob]

me and mr b spent most of it bickering about whether it was snow or ash. ash ffs

 

[Steel Icarus]

It was weird though, that winter appeared to be over (that little shoot) having taken ages to arrive and being predicted to be a nasty one. Are we to assume then that the Night King caused the winter and his defeat allowed for "a dream of Spring"? In that case, was he responsible for all other winters or were they just normal ones? If he was, would that account for the unpredictable nature of seasons on Planets, rather than a weird eccentric orbit?

 

[Lord Camomile]

Where's Michael Fish when you need 'im?

 

[Saul Goodman]

There was a massive gap also, as they had longer beards and shit.

I can get both of them in a couple of days.

Yep. Me too.
