You nikkaz would be mad and hate on this ending no matter which way it went.

Im finna just enjoy the ride.

Why do y’all say that anytime someone is critical of the show? There’s a spectrum here. Some people hate no matter what and others (such as myself) didn’t have a negative opinion until episode 3. Episode 4 is making me lose even more faith.

How is Varys talmbout he does what’s best for the realm but Cersei has been sitting the Iron Throne for a couple seasons now?
:stopitslime:
Huh? He had to bounce from KL to not get killed. He went to go back Dany and advise her during her power up, now he’s about to make the call for Jon. There’s nothing he could’ve done in KL solo, without ensuring the next reign was setup/there to take over and without earning his position in said new reign.

Brienne could've had a real breh that loved her but went with the dude still in love with his sister. It's all good tho, :tormund: got draws nonetheless.

Gendry was :pookie: for another hit of Arya's box and got dropped too :russ:

Like I said last week , that Targ madness is in Dany. Varys sees it now and with Missandei :rip: she just got pushed off the ledge.

Too many know Jon's true identity now, Cersei has the upper hand. I won't speculate how it ends but it's lookin like history repeats itself in more ways than one..

She’s royalty. Sorta how Arya only gave it up to Gendry.

Sansa was on board w/Dany's plan to go to King's Landing...all she said was to let the army rest first.
Nah, Sansa was on some stalling bullshyt with that let the men rest stuff.
When she, Jon, Arya and Bran had their little family meeting it was evident that she didn't want to send the North's men down to King's landing with Dany's squad.
She got real annoyed when Arya said that Jon agreeing to ride with Dany was the right thing to do. Sansa is on her isolationist kick.

They have to show that too ?

Hot damn! You dudes are just wgining for no rwason now.
:comeon:No reason to want to see the reactions of major characters learning the biggest secret on the show? A secret that changes everything they know so far?

If you don't think that's bad writing/directing:camby:We needed to see those reactions.

I don't get the "they're forcing the mad queen" narrative. This ain't no recent development.

That bytch been crazy. The 13 exposed her way back in qarth. Her whole Arc is based on entitlement

"Mine"

:stopitslime: you ain't even from westeros.
She was born at Dragonstone.

I'm actually ok with Arya doing that kill, wasn't story book ending type stuff but I can see her character pulling that ninja shyt off. Now, we can argue that doing all that in 1 episode doesn't feel as rewarding, specially considering the stakes the show built regarding the White Walkers.

This goes back to D&D wanting to wrap this shyt up ASAP for no other reason that they just want to wrap it up. They built impossible stakes for Cercei vs Dany and Humanity vs White Walkers, so much so that the only way to give resolutions to both conflicts quickly was a) strip Dany of all her power by any means possible, which meant destroying Tyrion as "the smart one" on the show and b) get rid of the WW threat in 1 gigantic battle because there wasn't any more time and money for anything else.

But the killing blow to the NK has never been an issue with me :manny:



The Sansa shyt had me :mindblown:

"She's like Littlefinger, she knows what telling Tyrion will result in".

Not only was that not conveyed on screen AT ALL (kinda impossible to figure that shyt out unless you are told so by the creators), but you mean to tell Sana is putting all her moves on Jon's claim, who doesn't want to rule, to save and keep the North? When she already doesn't have any military and fukking Dany up might mean giving Cercei the W? And when she hasn't trusted Jon the whole show and hasn't been able to pull his strings any way whatsoever? :why:

It does seem Sansa will end up keeping the North at the very least, probably having HUGE pull in all of Westeros. But betraying Jon's confidence to pull of a move that wont really change anything is :wtf: I mean, Dany was going to become mad queen at this point regardless of what Varys and Tyrion thought or tried to do - and much of what drove Dany mad was because of the incompetence those two showed since her arrival on the continent - and that was going to lead to a confrontation with Jon regardless of what Sansa could do about it.

It felt like the nth time D&D were like "welp :manny:" and kept it moving.
My issue with how they are depicting the Dany as Mad Queen stuff (aside from it being 100% plot driven) is that Dany's reactions to Jon being a threat to her getting the Iron throne is very similar to how c*nty Sansa was when Jon came back to Winterfell and everyone was riding his dikk. The only real difference is that Dany is actually making major sacrifices like a motherfukker and going through some stressful shyt right now while Sansa was just being an a$$hole back then.
