    In the end, the ride is/was still worth it and especially in light of how it's finishing, once again the old cliche is true: "it's the journey, not the destination". For 6+ seasons, GoT was some of the most compelling TV I've ever witnessed and none of that will change even if the last 2 seasons have been the weakest.

    Endings are hard, especially when you decide to tie yourself into a knot first.

    Reflecting back a bit, what do you think was the peak of the show? The Red Wedding? Hardhome? Hodor?

    Take care all.

    Honestly just the general small-time dialogue. Things like Tyrion and Tywin talking together. That stuff ruled.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    Flashback to when Euron Greyjoy hosted the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest.

    So my theory of tonight's final episode.

    I think Dany will get killed by jon early on and then maybe Greyworm kills him. I don't think Jon is making it out alive either. I hope they at least give some time to show that the country isn't absolute smurfed. But who knows what we'll get heh.

    I've stayed 100% leak free.

    So Jinx after tonight's episode lemmino if any of the leaks you read were spot on for the finale, or if the show was able to successfully pull a switcharoo on the audience with the alternate scenes they filmed or w/e

    So far the leaks have been 100% accurate since episode 4, but I'll definitely be sharing with the class after the finale airs!

    However, apparently D&D called Kit in a few days ago to talk about something, and six minutes has been shaved off the air time. So who knows what we're losing there.

    EDIT: The image has been baleeted, but I remember the biggest key points.

    The leaks were correct.

    Things that didn't show up in the leaks that had me pleasantly surprised:
    -Tyrion finding Jaime; sad, but beautiful
    -Yara being at Tyrion's trial. Also, as much as I hated Daenerys, staying loyal to her
    -Edmure showing up again only to be a total smurfing diptrout
    -Brienne writing Jaime's story (not completely unexpected)
    -POD BEING A MOTHERSMURFING KNIGHT OF THE KING'S GUARD
    -Davos being Master of Ships (he was said to be on the small council, but this is the perfect job for him)
    -Tyrion never being able to finish that goddamn joke, A+

    Things that I knew were coming that had me very happy:
    -Jon killing Daenerys
    -SWEET ROBIN
    -Sansa being the Queen in the North

    Things that I knew were coming, but I thought I'd hate but I actually ain't mad about:
    -Drogon carrying off Daenerys' body (in the leaks it said he carried her away on his back...how the f was she supposed to get up there)
    -Arya going west

    Things that I knew were coming and will never stop being smurfing stupid:
    -Bronn being on the small council
    -Bran being the king


    The best part about this is that Denmark and I unintentionally named our dog after the winner of the Game of Thrones. Go us! Go Brandog Stark!

    EDIT: I forgot that s h i t is filtered to trout, and that's very appropriate. Edmure is a diptrout.

    Final image my dudes.



    Shout out to the Prince of Dorne et all for making an appearance! I'll take the L on that one. Well, half an L, it didn't end up having an influence on the war. I do love that we got one final round table with the leaders of each respective area. Good to see Yara and Sam again.

    Royce said "I!" and then Sweet Robin was like "yeah ok".

    Before you all take turns slam dunking the episode and each other I just want to start this off with a really well done compliment to the show's imagery. These are two of my favorite moments the show has ever captured.

    Yeah I was confused who it was at first until I realized it was Robin.

    I lold at sam trying to be all "democracy!" And they shut it down ha.

    And technically I wasnt wrong for picking Sansa as my queen ha, she did become a queen.

    In general, I figured it wouldnt be that amazing given how grand the story was and how we had to wrap it up. I feel this happens with a lot of big shows, the endings are never too satisfying. I remember all the hubbub about BSGs ending but now years later people view it better.

    That'll probably be the case here too.
