Ohh and everyone are going to die in not too long. Winter is still coming, and it will be a long one. And nobody has started preparing for it, so.....R.I.P everyone. One of my biggest disappointment is the whole "Winter is Coming" vibe was all for nothing. Also Bran with the Raven things and the dreams and children of the forest was one of the silver lining of Dance with Dragons for me, and this could just end with ...and then Bran ended up King of Westeros. I can imagine this for Rickon (apparently dead in the show...) but Bran? It just fall flat on its face. Jon goes back to the wall because basically he's punished. Dany falls over and die. Jamie, one of the best redemption/love subplot, shagged Brienne and dies by rock falling on his head. Tyrion is a whole bag of useless. etc... It feels like nothing had an interesting pay off. The plot played out much more like a dramatic TV show or movie than it did a novel, which I suppose is expected. I noticed this started happening a few seasons ago when Jon was resurrected - dialog got punchier, story beats seemed more... er... conventional. I'm guessing the pace of this season was because HBO didn't want to pay for 10-20 shows (1 to 2 full seasons) at this level of production effects (ongoing war with the Night King, and Kings Landing) only to have the story basically end in the same place. Plus, the audience reaction dynamic had turned into hard core fans complaining, casual fans (like me) tuning out for the, and I can't believe I'm about to type this, sudden obscene levels of gruesome violence that the show could depict.

Thing is we might never get the last book, and this could be the ultimate ending. /cry I don't know it all feels really mundane, and streamlined. From what I understand they didn't even try to make Bran the King a creepy thing. In the book he is guided possibly by some Targaryen bastard fused to a tree. If the question of madness is raised for Dany, why isn't it raised as well for Bran? That kid went through a whole epic quest where he might have eaten his best friend, lost his legs, went beyong the wall, mingle with children of the forest etc...and he ends up king after a random vote and goes "yep, i'll do it." I don't get it.

Why did Arya even go to King's Landing? The only conceivable reason might've been to have her bear witness of the massacre and give her a reason to murder Dany. Does she? Nope, Jon does. Wasted opportunity to have her disguised as Jon or some other, have Jon realize this and take the fault for his little sister. Greyworm has unlocked the secrets of teleportation. When Jon finds Greyworm murdering prisoners, he goes straight to Dany... only to find Greyworm is already there! Did Jon take the scenic route? Just how many troops survived the battle with the Night King?!?!?! Tyrion has unlocked the secrets of ancient GPS technology. How he was able to precisely locate the bodies of his siblings is beyond me. Tyrion commits treason yet doesn't share the same fate as Varys, with an even more unhinged Dany. Plot, thy name is armour! About Varys, what happened to all those letters he was writing announcing to the world that Jon was the true heir? Indeed, whatever happened to Jon's secret now being "information"? Jon can't defend Dany's actions... but then he will a few minutes later. Jon commits treason yet walks away unscathed. Greyworm was murdering prisoners only minutes ago, for an arguably lesser crime, but now he won't avenge her death? Sure, I buy that. He likely has more troops at his command than the North does, he would've slaughtered them all. Why would Greyworm even agree to any punishment the Council or the new King dishes out, especially when the new King is Jon's brother and the King's hand is Tyrion, another traitor? What is even the point of the Night's Watch any more? What Wall is there to go back to? Who the f*** is writing any of this shit? Jon doesn't get roasted alive. Dragons may be invincible now, but they're still stupid. Wasted opportunity to see if Jon is fireproof. Bran becomes King. Right. Whatever happened to not wanting to be king since he was the three-eyed raven or some such bullshit? Bran becomes King. But Sansa doesn't recognize her brother's authority and wants to rule the North on her own. Greed, thy name is Sansa? Sure, we'll let you, why not? Nothing else has made sense this season, why start now? Dany shows not a trace of remorse for her actions. Come on, even Anakin felt guilt the first time he murdered women and children, and the Sand People had kidnapped and killed her mom, more or less. ... ... ... I'll leave a few if you want to fill in the blanks.

Not only is it basically GoT in space (but without D&D), it has a love story that puts Jaime and Cersei's to shame.

All of this is on maps. I guess D&D never took a look at the actual world-map when doing the show.

The changes and the plot-holes will have ripple effects. I know I am being petty, but I am loving it.
