    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Probably won't completely cease to exist, it seems too large for that. She didn't appear to literally destroy everything. But no longer a seat of power with the Crownlands subsumed by existing kingdoms (the Riverlands, Vale and the Reach).

    I wonder what's going to have the most disappointing ending, the Blazers vs Warriors or this final episode of GoT?

    Pretty underwhelming, yeah.

    Some nice cinematography. It had some poignant moments. But, yeah, this season almost didn't feel like it was the same show as the first seven seasons. It's weird. Probably would have stood better by themselves.

    I thought John killing the DQueen was bit anti climactic.

    It could be award winning stuff and you'd fine more negative than positive feedback.

    Yeah, but it'd be hard to argue this was award-winning stuff.

    The ending was so melodramatic and predictable. Like I said above, it diverted quite a bit from what made the series so good in the first few seasons.

    And the writing ... so many characters not ringing true. So many plot holes.

    Why did the Starks have so much representation at the meeting that was supposed to be Tyrion's trial? Why wasn't there more representation from Daenerys' supporters? And how the heck did that turn from Tyrion's trial to the empowering of a new king?

    And Bran ... Bran actually knowingly put into effect a lot of the things that led to the "bittersweet ending." And no one realizes it. Bran could have very easily altered things if he wanted. But he starts things down the devastating path by telling Sam to tell Jon his heritage right before the siege of King's Landing. And now he's going to try to "find" Drogon?

    Seems like in a lot of ways the Stark children became the Littlefinger/Cerseis, perhaps more subtly. But people miss how Bran and Sansa influenced events in such a way that got Dany out of the way and put them in charge of all of Westeros because they were sympathetic characters the whole series.

    I just thought there were so many ways to get another full season out of it?
    Seemed like it just stopped?

    I cheered when Jon killed Dany. My girlfriend got pissed at me. Overall a bad finale for a bad season but I did like that part.

    Sopranos ending, I didn’t care for it.

    Honestly, the only TV series I considered to have a great finale is the office.

    They get arrested for not helping a guy who was getting mugged, instead making jokes and laughing. At their trial a bunch of people they've wronged in the past testify as character witnesses. They're sent to jail. Jerry does stand up in jail. The end.
