HBO's Game of Thrones season 6 discussion thread- airing 4/24/16 (No book spoilers)

[HurleyBird]

Well the ending was better than the Lost finale, and Dexters

But was it really?

 

[kn51]

Is what it is. The leaked spoilers were 95% correct.

 

[zinfamous]

So I guess that's an ending

Spoiler

But Bran? Really?

Also why do they need a Night's Watch any more anyway? Just to get rid of unplanned kids?

From what I gathered

Spoiler

Jon was just all fuck it and took the Freefolk north and became the new king north of the wall. It looks like he abandoned his post (again). But yeah I agree--why is the Nights Watch even a thing now? I guess that was more your question. This also left me baffled. Besides: Castle Black or Eastwatch (wherever they were--speaking of, they repaired the wall already? lol) was controlled by Freefolk anyway. Are they really the Night's Watch?

 

[zinfamous]

But was it really?

Dexter, yes? I can't comment on Lost.

 

[evident]

But was it really?

Yeah but that's not saying much lol. It didn't make me want to rage and it didn't ruin the show I don't think. At least that's my initial impression

Spoiler

Tyrion did say there would always be a need for a place to send bastards and broken men. But yeah that was probably the best possible place for Jon to end up. And he finally pet his dog.

Whelp folks...

Im not the biggest of GoT fans. I didn't read the books or even watch each and every episode...

But that was the shit of the shit of the shit of the shit of possible endings. They could have done a stereotypical ending where John was king or John and Danny ruled together and it would have been infinitely better....

But what they chose...came out of a fucking cracker jack box. Wow, just wow. What a giant turd of a season.

Just goes to show, TV show writers are basically the equivalent of a janitor. People that actually wrote books have actual talent though. Not surprising.

So Bran the the ultimate bad guy who manipulated events to clear the way for him to ascend the throne by turning Jon against Dany and arranging for her to go mad.

well... so much for a Breaking Bad level finale.

 

[ElFenix]

Your move, GRRM

 

[Newbian]

Your move, GRRM

He can just blame the writers for the last season and say got is ruined and never finish while he sits on his pile of cash.

I kind of expected him to stand at the end of the table scene and walk away.

Nvm
The End

Spoiler

I was bothered by the making sure everyone (left) got a happy ending. For a show that highlighted shit happens they went out of their way to make sure everyone got something. The Sansa being now Queen of the North makes me think the whole system is screwed. If the North broke off, then what's stopping the rest of the kingdoms from doing it? Guess they had to give everyone a trophy.

None of the above was the worst ending ever. That distinction belongs to Battlestar Galactica.

 

[PJFrylar]

I don't know what you guys are complaining about. This was the best ending possible.

Spoiler

Jon is the king in the real north ... with his puppy

Edit: Though an update on Nymeria was missing. I assume her wolfpack is doing well though..

 

[StinkyPinky]

Seinfeld.

 

[Sonikku]

90% of this episode was a bore and the rest was awkward.

Spoiler

Jon walks up to her and stabs her? That's it?

The scene where the king is "selected" is just awkward and painful to watch all around. I cringed listening to Tyrion try to explain who should be king. And then there's Bran fucking Stark. What the hell did he DO this whole series? What did he do to deserve the crown? "He needs to know", yeah right, Jon needs to know about his heritage alright. So it'll end in Dany losing her shit, killing a million people and mr three eyed raven getting the throne. And being the raven, he KNEW that was how it was going to play out and did it anyway for personal gain. We never even got to see him worg into a dragon. Bran is the master of stories? What about Arya, who's story is basically Batman up to the point where she killed the king of death himself?! Bran is a waste of space.

Poor Jon. He saved the fucking world, twice and everyone hates him. Even the North, for whom he sacrificed everything. And they relegate him to the night's watch??

 

[Printer Bandit]

Dexter the Lumberjack

 

[Dr. Zaus]

To me they all won the real iron throne: the friendships they made along the way.

He ended up with his puppy. What better fate?

 

[Bitek]

... And so they all lived, happily ever after.

 

[Starbuck1975]

Only good part of the episode was what Brienne did for Jaime. It was a rare character moment.
