Having Cersei parallel Mad King Aerys and then having Jaime kill her at least fits the trajectories of both characters.

In the books and in the show as well Robb Stark sends out an official decree legitimizing Jon Snow as Jon Stark and releasing him from his duty at the Night's Watch. The legitimacy of that decree and its implications would do all the same things and it's all right there.

Jon Snow's true identify is something that was only hinted at for five books spanning over two decades and that's all we get out of it? That is a long walk for a short glass of water.

I hope it's good. The Long Walk is one of my favorite of King's stories.

North loses versus the Army of the Dead, not many get out, Cersei is a gigantic cunt to the few survivors, overconfident even when the Army of the Dead is claiming more and more territory and when she gives the final idiotic commands that would doom humanity Jaime stabs her dead. We then have a...

Noon Friday to Noon Tuesday is a pretty big window to get your grind on.

People were starting to theorize that Jon himself was The Song of Ice and Fire (a poetic way to describe union of the Starks and Targaryians) at least as far back as the early 2000s with all kinds of guesses about the implications of such a thing. I legitimately feel bad for anyone that picked...

Daze has consistently been one of my least favorite WoW mechanics from 2004 onward. It only comes in to play when you're trying to get from point A to point B without a hassle and then it shows up and hassles you.

That's another theme that's just entirely missing - winter. We're told a bazillion times that in Westeros winters last years and that once again winter is coming. The War of the Five Kings has destroyed tons and tons of shit, fields were burned, harvests stolen, the North has a massive refugee...

The return of dragons has heralded the return of magic to the world. The Red Priest, regarded as a drunken sot and joke for ruining swords by lighting them on fire, performs the burial ritual upon The Lightning Lord Barrick Dondarian and the son of a bitch returns to life. He then tries to bring...

Boy, do I not understand the story he was trying to tell at all then.

Did Jon volunteer or was he sent?

When your placeholder name ends up making the final cut.

I'm still baffled this turned in to a "tune in to see who is going to end up sitting the Iron Throne" bit of musical chairs for the ending as if that's been what people have been tuning in for season after season.

It's not a bad mini series!

When he was dead there was a fine opportunity for him to go on a small vision quest in which he gets to talk with Ned. His character is moved forward and Ned's past is put to rest but that didn't happen. In the first book getting Ned's inner thoughts (and later Catlyn) we see how that period of...

I've read it twice. The first time I did not have many good things to say about it. The second time I skipped every Dany and Tirion chapter and I was very happy with it. They're both just so much fucking deadwood. Dany is in Meer! It's not going great! Tirion is traveling across the narrow sea...

In the last book it's definitely winter in the north and people are definitely fucked. Ramsey wrecked or burned every part of Winterfell that could be wrecked or burned and they're down to eating horses. The Boltons and related allies are only there to project power but they're completely...

In the finale we learn that the magicks of R'lor were used to bring Robb Starke back from the dead. The results were...unfortunate.

His chapters in book five were boring filler. I'd hate to think that he's peaked for the whole rest of the series.

Best part of this last season is getting neat stories from @Screamfeeder

It's my favorite Star Trek series but it's always rubbed me the wrong way that in the second part they waste a bunch of time on a montage. All Good Things, the final episode of TNG, is an A+ 10/10 finale.

Do we know if the Mythic Tour thing that uses Arena is actually going to work?

Cersei picking Sir Strong as her champion for trial by combat was the proper time to have the two fight.

Blood magic fueled ritual sacrifice gives widow the resources to buy an army, betrays the merchants who sell her an army and goes about pillaging city after city before deciding to squat in one of them and run it poorly before plague kills everyone there. Everything she touches turns to shit...

I don't mind the bog (overall) but when he decided to do two more books only he fucked himself. He cannot conclude the series in two books while also meeting his own standards. It's been too long since the previous book for him to go back and decide he needs 3/4/5 more books to end it and people...

In the books Jaime rejects a call for help from Cersei and sends Brienne on her mission with Oath Keeper. I honestly cannot envision that Jaime doing the same shit and will be super disappointed if that arc is fully repeated.

She liberates about as well as the United States.

Game of Thrones starts like twenty years after the death of the mad king, whatchu going on about.

If than fuck everything everywhere forever.

Dragonbone has been presented as a masterwork crafting material for the entire series up to and including using it to craft bows. Dany gifts such a bow to one of her Dothraki and it is mentioned how highly prized those bows are by the Dothraki given their superior quality.

Dragonbone from all the dragon skeletons in storage under the Red Keep. The Dothraki highly prize dragonbone bows so there's an in-universe connection in addition to some thematic synergy with using dragons to kill dragons.

I hadn't made the connection that iron was all but useless against the White Walkers and the throne of Westeros is literally an iron throne.

Ghost saving Jon's ass and dying in the process could have been for the same amount of money. Jon would not abandon Ghost. It goes against his character and it goes against all the wolf / wolf pack metaphor sprinkled through the series.
