I didn't think the writing did a good job of setting up EvilDany. They really should have started sooner, not waited until the final season to be like "Bitches be crazy!".
🦇 Jon is reunited with Ghost, Tormund and the free folk
That I liked. It suited him.
🦇 Drogon was smart enough to destroy the Iron Throne
I listened to a podcast who had this great, funny debate about if Drogon actually understood symbolism and got that the Throne "killed" Dany or if he was was just like "Mom has pointy thing in her chest, chair has pointy thing, chair killed Mom?" 🤣🤣
🦇 They abandoned birthright to the throne and changed to choosing their king or queen instead. Baby step in the right direction.
Yeah but the cynic in me thinks it's just another doomed to fail attempt because what stops villainous people from still taking power after Bran is gone? They could bride or threaten or ally themselves into the position. Maybe Bran, as the 3-Eyed Raven, will leave a list of his successors but that would go against the whole "we pick our King" thing they agreed to.
🦇 Brienne updating Jaime’s entry in the book of knights, adding some of the good things he did.
Ugh, Jaime. What a waste of such great character growth. He broke free of his evil sister, I'll always believed he had genuine feelings for Brienne, he put the safety of the realm first, was becoming a truly good man...only to change his mind at the last minute and go running back to Cersei. Haaatttteeeed it.
🦇 Arya going off to explore, pioneer, have adventures seeing what’s west of west
🦇 Sam fast-tracking to Grand Meister and being part of King Bran’s small council.
🦇 in general, I liked who became members of his small council, including Brienne and Davos.
🦇 Tyrion lived to become another ruler’s Hand of the King.
I liked those things.
🦇 Queen Sansa kept the North independent
This doesn't add up because why wouldn't all the other Wardens suddenly demand the same for themselves? Yara was all about becoming Queen of the Iron Isles only to just forget it and fold back in with the others.
🦇 Grey Worm sailing off to the isle of Naath
I also felt like a hatchet job was done on Grey Worm at the end. That he just goes all blood thirsty murderer and kills innocent civilians and also kills POWs. It was too far, IMO.
