GOT

Tyrion was very clearly George's version of himself in the story. He was always going to have a favorable ending. But the bells rang. Lannisters forfeited the throne in battle and then were burned. Possession of castles and thrones is passed that way in this story. Dany was angry enough to burn the city cause they made her wait and didn't over throw Cersi. Yet she down with Tyrion disrespecting her in from the whole army right after and she already threatened his life, just going throw him in the dungeon and allow having visitors, seems unlikely consider all that just transpired. That scene was dope as hell though. And the Dany throne room suspenseful and climatic. But that end dragon pit part was ughh. Wouldn't the Dothraki now follow Jon Snow since he killed their Khal? So would they be helping the Unsullied hold him capture? Then, Tyrion talks everyone into Bran the Broken as King. Who said, "Why do you think I came all this way?" So how long has he known this was the ending? He didn't tell anyone? He's been doing all this just to be King? Then everyone is down for this except Sansa who's reasoning is the Northmen will not following another Southern King? But that King Stark your brother. And we all know how everyone in this story and male heirs, and the Northmen especially. That just used that as explanation for Dany's heel turn, her losing her friends and her insecurity about the knowledge about Jon's parentage. Yet here we get Queen Sansa and the Six Kingdoms? Wouldn't the other Kingdoms want independence if his sister won't even follow the "cripple who can't father children" in her words. Why do they still need the Knight's watch and the Wall? How did that fucking book survive when the whole city, stone, brothels, ships and all burned. But the book survived? Sansa wouldn't follow the South but gave up Brienne? Ok. How did they Rebuild the city so fast? How were they're so many people? Didn't everyone die in all those wars? And the small council room scene was funny and cool. But is the wheel broken? The show started with and absentee King who left the day to day to the small council. Did they break the wheel? Or is it just more of the same? And I get this one is just a stylistic choice. But fuck Cersi dieing in the arms of her lover, lame. #1 villain, Lame death. Under like 3 bricks? Little Tyrion found them mad easy. Wouldn't the Tormund and the dudes at the wall be a little less sullen when seeing John? Couldn't they just have made Bran king, Sansa Warden of the North. FUCK that book and Jamie's character arc leave it buried under those 4 bricks. And give me Bran punking or persuading Greyworm (the unsullied aren't fathering any kids why do they get a say in the new world?) to allow Jon his freedom. Try to make him a lord and give him castle with the Dothraki and then he shuns it to Greyworm cause Jon be Jon. Then he returns north by choice. Tormund gives him and a big bear and hug and one more tomund laugh. And talk about teach him hunting giant wolly mammoths or something. And Arya can still be a Pirate. I just want the ending the sit in congruence with the story and people and cultures that you just spent all this time telling. And with Dany and Jamie important characters arcs tells us anything. It's that you are what you are in the end, really can't change. The ending and that don't align. I needed to ramble this somewhere. This post got it lol.
