Yeah obviously she would have to allow it instead of just "Dacarys"...but Grey Worm might have wanted that fight, too.

Here's a hint you dumb turd, the Lord Commander of the Kingsguard is responsible for writing in the Book of Brothers.

Last episode was about as good as could be expected.
I really think the issue was just they needed another season. Everything the past two seasons was too rushed. If they'd had another 8 episodes to develop more, I think it would have been more widely appreciated.
All in all, I'm just glad its fucking over and I have some closure on the story, in case George RR McFatass never finishes the novels (he won't)

maybe one day he pretends he Lord Commander and the next day he fancies himself a bedpan changer. i guess it depends on what fantasy scenario these twats are playing on that day.

Pod has to be at least more competent than the 4 retards that died in 5s when they charged at the Hound, they even had the high ground!

You should give us an example of this. Because this sounds like you're jerking yourself off trying to make sense of a mess, because you want to be the annoying guy that sees brilliance in the madness. So far your post sounds like another "logistics and modernity" pile of garbage that is being made up post-hoc to explain the terrible writing, and confusing foreshadowing with character development. (Not shocked at all to see who really agrees with your post!)
So by all means, be specific.

I really hate defending anything involved with this shit show.......BUT, this is to be expected.
It is made very clear in the books that Cersi made certain knights part of her kingsguard so she could have an excuse to be alone with them and fuck them, not because they were at all skilled. It might even be spelled out that they lacked skill with weapons but it has been long enough since I read the books that I can't be sure. And fuck going back and reading them again after all this shit. GRRM can die a slow, painful, type 2 diabetes death for all I care.

‘Game of Thrones’ Finale Sets New Series High With Staggering 19.3 Million Viewers
Across HBO, HBO Go, and HBO NOW, the conclusion of the megahit fantasy series drew 19.3 million viewers, overtaking the previous series high of 18.4 million viewers that was set just last week. In addition, 13.6 million people watched 9 p.m. telecast on HBO alone, breaking the record for the biggest single telecast in HBO history. The previous record holder was the Season 4 premiere of “The Sopranos” in 2002, which drew 13.4 million

I dislike Shapiro's breakdown of character motivations. Not that I think he is wrong, just that they are so off from the book versions of the characters that it makes me wonder if anyone involved in the production of the show ever read them in the first place.
Bran didn't lift a finger because he moved beyond the cares of a mortal being. He wasn't even Bran any longer. It is why the entire ending is so goddamn stupid on its face. Bran is the least fit person to lead the realm at the end because his goals don't align with normal people at all. He is trying to avert hundred to thousand year disasters, not trying to figure out how much it costs to rebuild the fucking fleet or Red Keep.

The below is one such example, people forgetting things that literally happened on screen, or remembering shit incorrectly, such as this particular example. There are tons of these examples throughout this thread, of people literally having watched an episode, and either outright missed something that happens, or lack the fundamental ability to comprehend what they saw. I think you mistook what I was saying, the end was not good overall, "how" they got there specifically being the part that is piss poor, there is and never will be a way to whiteknightsplain the last season as being a good take on how it should have went down. They could have taken Bran becoming King, Jon taking the Black, etc and wrote how that happened in a much better and more compelling way that would have made the ending actually good. I'd rate the series overall a solid 7.5, with the last season being a 5, maybe... fucking hard maybe 6 out of 10. I think if we had the fleshed out version that GRRM imagined it would have been a much better ending overall with the same bullet point details.
Edit... you'll have to click on Paranoia's quote to see what he was responding too, he has it right, Breakdown's original message that he is responding to was an example of a post that didn't remember something correctly. Far from the most egregious example, but one that was easy to find in recent posts.

The two prerequisites to be the ruler of the 7-1 Kingdoms became: 1) Have a good story that leads to the throne so the people can get behind them. 2) Be chosen by the Lords of Westeros. Being of House whatever is of little relevance given this format. Also, the Kingsguard is there for the King.
About democracy, picking a commander among the member of the Night Watch is picking among peers who is supposed to lead. The Lords choosing a King is the same. The whole population choosing a King is not.

If it was Lords electing one of their fellow Lords/Ladies, yeah, is Sam, Brienne or Bran one of those?
