Game of Thrones (HBO) TV Show • Page 605

Just about 100% correct.

 

Yep, as of the latest update (which added a ton of detail), they had everything down to Tyrion finding Jaime’s hand and Dany looking like a dragon. The previous versions were correct about the plot points but didn’t have quite as much spelled out.

 

Much appreciated to everyone for not bringing the leaks into here and spoiling anything, especially if the entire show's ending was out there!

 

Reading the leaks ahead of time definitely eased the pain for me.

 

Agreed - gave me more time to process during the actual show and find other things to enjoy/admire. The first hour of the finale was actually pretty fantastic. I got lost when the dragon pit scene happened...from then on it was hit or miss for me.

 

The previous episodes were easier to freely speculate about because there was still a fair amount of possibility that they were fake, but after five most of that went out the window.

The only time I had to really resist the urge to say anything was when David said he expected Bran to win. That was a tough one.

 

I absolutely loved the pacing of the first hour of the finale, and the filmmaking on display was incredible as it has been for most of this last season, even when I wasnt crazy about some of the story choices (i.e. Tyrion walking through a very intact Red Keep and finding his siblings under a few bricks, etc.)

 

First hour of this finale was my favorite of the last season and most of the last season as well.

 

People speculating wildly these last few weeks was rough to see because it really seemed like everyone was desperate for this show to go out in a an awesome and epic way and that really wasn't happening, and also because so many people's zany theories were so much more creative and fun and satisfying than what we ended up with.

 

Jon was just too safe in the show. Lacked the nuance he had in the book, which was disappointing. Same with Dany. Which is ironic because if this was always where they ended up why would you not lol

 

I've been saying something similar to this during our watch parties. I said I actually kind of feel sorry for people who chose not to watch this show during its peak while it was airing live. Not because it's the greatest show of all time or best written or anything like that - it's just that there's hardly been anything else like this in terms of reactions, speculation, hype and everything else that has come with it. The overall bonding and conversation and all of the side benefits of watching this show week to week is something that these people will not experience if they decide to binge the whole series a year from now. They're going to have a totally different experience.

 

Lost was the only show I ever had special watch parties for, and even that was only on a few occasions because I didn’t live near my friends who were into it. The one for the series finale was incredibly fun and I still remember how all out we went with the food and decorations.

I also recently had a couple friends over on two nights to binge all of Grace and Frankie season five, but that’s definitely a different vibe.

 

I would never have a watch party. First person to talk dies and then I'm in prison.

 

Undeniable take

 

Never got far in DS9. Hated the first couple episodes and just rewatched TNG instead haha

 

Characters and character driven plot are better in TNG and it has higher peaks but DS9 does the politics and intrigue incredibly well along with a more than adequate character side. DS9 is my fav one tbh

 

Does anybody know who was sitting next to Sam in the dragon pit and the guy that sat next to Yohn Royce, not Robyn.

 

It's suspected that it was the Lord Regent of the Reach, since Tyrion hadn't given it to Bronn yet.
Next to Gendry is unknown.
Next to Yara is suspected to be the new Lord of the Dreadfort.
Next to Lord Royce is someone from the Vale.

 

Why wouldn’t Grey worm just be like “fuck it I am king now”? And why does Bran need a master of whisperers if he sees everything

 

Dang there were more unknowns then I even remember.

 

Grey Worm didn't want to be and Bran can't see everything

 

Yeah, can I get clarification on Bran?

I was thinking that he can and has seen everything in the past but he's not able to see the future in the same way, is that right?

 

Yeah he can see the past and he can warg into other things in the present but he can't see the future or see the present like he can the past.

 

You can only see everything if you know where to look.

 

Okay, then in that case, how and why is he always making statements that implies he knew things were going to happen? Like him knowing to come to King's Landing because he knew that he'd become king, for example.
