Unbelievable episode! By far my favourite of the series! Can't wait for the last episode! I'll be sad when it's finally over!
I agree, I think Arya will kill her. She missed out on Cersei so will be rewarded with a little deferred gratification.
Sigh - I know that i'm going to get sot to pieces for this but i thought that last nights show was fecking terrible. A 6.9 rating on IMDB would appear to point to the same conclusion being reached by many.
Visually - spectacular
everything else - dreadful.
Ultimately, despite all the action/CGI, it was boring due to the lack of focus on plot/pacing etc. I'll watch the last episode as I've invested a great deal of time to get to this point and I do want to see how it all pans out. But the truth is that i'm not really that bothered anymore.
Fair play to those who loved it. I wanted, and expected, better.

The problem is that George Martin never wrote his final books and Sky needed to bring the series to a conclusion..
Agreed. This is the problem, and suggests that D&D have ****ed up royally - after 8 seasons, I should be MASSIVELY emotionally invested in how this works out. But I've just felt flat since The Long Night.
The way they have rushed it has meant the stakes have so often felt really low, as they haven't given time to make many situations believable, and thus worthy of caring about.
Entertaining fluff now, but nothing more. The early seasons were FAR more worthwhile than that.

I've enjoyed the ride, but agree the last two season's have rather seen a downturn (or drastic and detrimental upturn) in pacing, scripting and character development...
My call is that Dany finds Jon guilty of 'treason' attempts to burn him, and the big dragon refuses as he is the one true king of the Westeros... Dany is left rather toothless as it were and her end then comes swiftly. Jon will refuse the throne, have it destroyed, declare a republic and leave the 'people' (what's left of them!) to rule. He'll then ride off into the north much like Clint Eastwood in his legendary westerns.
Tyrion will obviously head up the republic as a man of the people and...
Roll end credits.
Lots more people will probably die as this unfolds, but that just about sums it up.
'Breaking Bad' - that's how you do a finale
HBO, sky just broadcast it in the UK

Yes it's rushed, but I am enjoying the craziness of it. We are too stuck in our ways, needing dramatic endings to characters all the time.
When you think about it, you see extras getting chopped down left right and centre, but the movie industry has made us feel robbed when a main character is ended quickly.
I like it. If a dragon is going round SMASHING THE SHIT out of everything then there isn't really time for an emotional goodbye every time. You are being SIZZLED and that's you done.
As a stand alone bit of TV, I thought it was excellent. I appreciate I'm in the minority.
I like the dragon idea. Does Sansa have any part in this final episode? I have a feeling she may play a part in Daenerys' demise.
