GoT - warning spoilers

She died knowing she had played a part in destroying the world she wanted to rule with her unborn child by her side. She was truly and utterly broken. It’s almost humane that she got to spend her last moments with her one true romantic love and their unborn child.

A superb ending for them both.

Completely agree, also like the fact they went out together the way they came into the world as twins. Plus Cersei going out that way is true game of thrones style in that it's not what the viewers expect, we all think she gets done by a loved one but instead they show its done in a way that is more fitting with fear involved than retribution for others.
 
It’s a no from me.

I get why most of it went like that. But it just feels like it’s not gonna leave anyone behind to live in a new world. The way she caused carnage with the dragon having scampered in fear last week was just too ott for me.

I liked most of the death scenes. Thought they over sold euros Greyjoy. Made his death almost comical.

Glad to see Tyrion and Jamie’s farewell. Ayra to save the world again next week hopefully. Or maybe even Sansa...
 
Ok so were left with assumptions that some people are dead without actually seeing them die..... And maybe I'm being stupid, but the mountain fella (cercys bodyguard) had the head/face of the little birds dude?
 
Absolutely superb episode and the scene between Tyrion and Jaime was brilliant, the devotion of Tyrion to Jaime was so touching.
Sets it up nicely for the grand final! Think Jon will do dany...... or Arya, or maybe Tyrion or Sansa!🤯😁
 
Rubbish last season in my opinion. Acting is fine as well as the effect etc, the story is just poorly written.

Was it not Euron's child? When did Jaime and Cersei last meet up to get pregnant? Was that in series 6 or 7, I can't remember.

Yeah, I've heard it's been getting absolutely rinsed by reviewers and fans alike.

I've been quite enjoying it however I'm not in the 'super fan' category and this season really hasn't been received well by those guys. The main issue seems to be that this final season feels rushed, they (for some reason) committed to getting this done in 6 episodes and whilst they are longer than usual they're having to cover off and awful lot each time.

I think they left it ambiguous but I personally think it was Jaime's. I could be wrong, because like you I can't be sure when they last met up but she did say it was Jaime's during this episode and I would be inclined to think the one thing she wouldn't lie to Jaime about is that.
 
Not overly impressed with the final season, all feels very rushed and forced compared to the 7 seasons that have built up to this. That being said, I thought last nights was probably the best of the season so far.
I liked the fact dany went nuclear, 'if they wont love me, they will bloody well fear me!' I can see her threatening Winterfell/Sansa next week and Jon or Arya sticking her, although that still leaves a bloody huge and pissed of dragon to deal with??
Thought cleganebowl was a bit of a disappointment. It needed to be a fairer fight, and think they have done the unkillable zombie bit to death. It didnt feel like the epic family grudge match it shouldve been.
Quite like the sibling deaths, Cersei was broken, the mask had slipped and was fitting that her and Jamie went out together.
 
Thought they covered this last night, or was it the week before? It was Jamie's child but she was partly humping Euron to pretend it was his and so legitimise the child. Papas is right in his post.

The big difficulty this series has had is that it has to tie things up. We have had 7 series of various strands bouncing along, some being tied off, others just evolving. Now they need to bring it all together, there is finally a deadline. For me, giving a satisfying end to a whole host of characters and story lines is the hardest part and so it has proved. Some have been satisfying, others less so. There have been some big leaps in terms of journeys, times etc this series which has been uncomfortable at times but a little like Endgame, just don't look too closely, sit and enjoy the ride.

For all the criticism that people want to throw at it this series is still making me sit on the edge of my chair every single episode. I was a bag of nerves last night, as I was the previous two episodes. The minute it stops I'm having chats with my daughter about it, my son is messaging me. How many other tv programmes can do that? How many others can keep that going for 8 series. People care about the characters, despise others. Whatever the disappointments it is the dogs danglies of a series.

(as my avatar suggests, I may be too involved in this show. It will probably be healthier for me when it is over :D, definitely more relaxing)
 
That episode was a mess but a highly enjoyable one. I don't think there's anything deep in meaningful to be found in GoT beyond "monarchy is stupid" and "wars are horrible" so that episode was fine by me. (y)

Cersei must have some form of inhuman gestation period because multiple wars have been had, sea fleets have sailed across continents and armies have walked the length of entire countries multiple times and she's still not showing. Throughout the seasons it's been good entertainment but the narrative pacing has continually held less water than a sieve, there's not much point criticising it now when it's been a problem all along.

Glad it's over next week. Despite the flaws it's been a unique landmark of television, although far from being the best TV series I think it's an important one, a lot of people are going to try and emulate the success of GoT and while most will fail we see some pretty excellent stuff in the years ahead.

Cant disagree with anything you say, its a humdinger of a show.

As a fan from the beginning, I just wish the makers had perhaps stretched it to another series and given themselves a bit more time and comfort to tie up all the loose ends.
It feels like everything is being shoehorned into these 6 episodes, where big moments and conclusions of great storylines that we have invested in for seven years are being hurried through. In some cases the impact is lost when it deserves much more. Cleganebowl and the betrayal and execution of Varys last night being a perfect example, likewise the relationship between Brienne and Jamie.

That's if 'you' survive! Personally don't think it's looking too good for you in terms of the next episode.............!! ;):D
 
This series has been a really confusing experience in that I hate that it has been rushed through but also have enjoyed every single episode so far. In terms of spectacle alone, last night was hard to beat. I thought much of it was the right way to go but, again, was rushed. There was never going to be happy endings for anyone who sought the iron throne and so Dany going bonkers was the right twist, it just needed building up to a bit more. I think Cersei's death was a nice twist as everyone one was expecting some horrible end with a bit of poetic justice.

How wasted were the Golden Company, this band of supreme sellswords who lasted all of about a minute. A wasted opportunity. I am sure that I read somewhere that in the wider lore they were formed by exiles trying to get a male Targeryon heir on the throne and to follow that and have them side with Jon would have been a good way of proceeding. That said, their changing sides before the battle would have not left the door open for the widespread burning.

Personal thought is that it will all go full circle next week. This all started with the death of a Stark and it will finish with a Stark on the Iron Throne and a Stark ruling in the North.

On the whole though, this really needed to be 2 series, one based on the war with the dead and a second series finishing the war for the iron throne.

I thought Tyrion was a gonner when he walked up to the gates last week. I readied myself and waited for the worst. It looks bad next week but I can see Dany being offed before she gets the chance to fry him a la Varys. As he has made it this far I would love him to see it through all the way.

I saw someone mention that the 7 kingdoms could all go back to self rule with a council to sit over all of them. Perhaps Tyrion could be the council member for Kings Landing? He could oversee the rebuilding.

Yeah he's been a lucky boy so far!! As for overseeing the building of Kings Landing, nobody would want that job!!! :ROFLMAO:
 
A quick thought - given the destruction of Kings Landing and more or less the entire Red Keep, surely the Iron Throne has now gone?
