I really enjoyed it. Lots of behind the scenes people who are very interesting. Hope it gets the Irish extra a load of work, he's the star of the programme.

Just seen the series over the last 2 nights. Thought it was pretty shit from everything after Arya killed the Mr Freeze.
On the Bran thing - which was part of an utterly shit last episode: making him King wasn't the worst idea. But for it to make even the slightest bit of sense, they had to do 2 things. Firstly, put him being made king into an actual dramatic scene, where there are several tension that are only resolved by him becoming the king (as opposed to some wet farts sitting round having a chat on who to be king). The second one was for the 3 eyed raven mystical stuff to have been a major component of the series, actively something that people were thinking about and part of the plot. Weak.

I'm still pretty meh about the whole three eyed raven thing.
The three eyed raven is such a huge threat to the night king because he can look into the past and use that information to do Jeremy Kyle DNA test type reveals.
Changed the whole battle landscape that did! Worth an extra 40 thousand troops. Hey lads you can go home now, we can use the knowledge of who Jon's dad is to defeat the undead army. They love a bit of gossip.

In some ways, Game of Thrones Season 8 reminded me of Babylon 5. The whole shadow war thing was built up throughout the series, only to puff out like a match. The white walker story arc did the same. As in Babylon 5 the next war was with a totalitarian earth government. Similar to dealing with Cersei after The Long Night. Although Babylon 5's endgame episodes were slightly more satisfying over this car crash.

Sorry to quote myself but thinking on it further...
So he gets this power to help mankind, travels all the way to Winterfel, tells Jon who his dad is, which directly leads to conflict between Jon and Dani, which in part leads to Jon killing her, which leaves Bran as most likely candidate for king. Then he's like yeah I knew all along. It's why I came.
He used his power to nab the throne! Not to fight the night king. He's as bad as the rest of them.

Yet still you persist on telling everyone

It's like when someone flounces, but instead of just fucking off, they have to tell everyone they're flouncing, in the hope that someone will beg them to stay. It's an attention thing.

You said that already. Repeatedly.
Ask your GP about Alzheimer's. You seem to be experiencing short term memory loss. Forgetting what you've already said. Rambling.
It's one of the symptoms. Get yourself checked out.

A cat politely sat on the flaming gardener.
The problem Babylon 5 had was that they were told they were not going to get a 5th season, so a lot of what was planned for 5 was pushed up to 4. I think this is why the shadow war stuff is a bit rushed, it's also why season 5 is a bit meh. All the good stuff had been moved to season 4.

Alzheimer's eh? Just the ticket for internet joshing.

I've got a 1-6 chance of getting it. Might as well get the gallows humour in early as there will be no NHS by then and we'll all be fucked by something or another.Alzheimer's eh? Just the ticket for internet joshing.

Yeah well...at least you wont know whats happening to you.
Your jokes about alzheimers are unwarranted and nasty considering that people here have recently lost loved ones to the disease.
Thought better of you quite frankly.

I've just noticed that some of the White Walkers have beards, and some don't, presumably meaning that they have to shave sometimes

Surely it just means some were bearded when they died and some weren't
