Also, be VERY careful around the GOT-themed Reddits if you wish to not be possibly spoiled. Reputed outline for the series finalie is up and based off the source's track record, it seems fairly legit.

I'm making my way through the first book incredibly slowly. But I just happened to be at a part where ned was describing the throne. It's very metaphorical. He talks about the iron throne being uncomfortable, never letting him rest easy, and being sharp enough to cut or even kill a king who is not careful. What a fantastic piece of imagery. Martin doesn't get enough credit for the iron throne concept (or maybe he does, but just hasn't from me until now).
For those interested, Folio Society have a really great looking edition of A Game Of Thrones coming out;
I have a couple of FS books and the printing and quality is amazing

I hate it when something ends with you still having questions.
What does Arya find?
I assume the 6 kingdoms are fine under Bran and the north under Sansa but I kind of want to see it play out.
What happened to Essos now Danny is gone?
What happens to the watch now with Jon? It has nothing to defend the realm against, the free folk are friendly and the dead are gone.

They needed atleast 2 more seasons to get to this ending in a credible way, between 6 & 8 the slide in writing has been in freefall and obviously rushed to timeline at the expense of making sense.
I understand where G.R.R.M is going with this end part but D&D butched the path to get there, HBO offered them more seasons to do this but D&D only wanted 8, this is on them.
The writing for Jon Snow has been some.of the worst I have ever seen for a character in the last 2 seasons especially.

Why would they give us the ending we all wanted and laid the groundwork for, (for a couple seasons)? Still my fav show and all, but this season....ugh.
This last episode did some things right. (I haven't and won't ever read the books, no idea how to spell their names):
And now I get to play Monday Morning Quarterback about things I didn't like.

- Brianne writing Jamie's story
- Arya adventuring
- Sansa being Queen of the North
- Tyrian being HOTK again
- Braun at Tyrian's side
- Jon joining the Freefolk
- Tyrian killing Dany as much as Jon

- I feel as though I was watching a B movie thriller movie where the writers' #1 goal is to have NO ONE guess the ending. Guess what happens when you do that? THE ENDING SUCKS, it's largely why its a B movie; the plot becomes all about Who, who who and leaves out the why. The lack of justification for it all, like Dany having no justification for burning down KL.
- The writers paved a nice, golden path for us to travel on, skipping like Dorothy as Jon and Dany's love grew. Then they threw down a roadblock and made us walk through some blackberrys, swamp and a jungle, whatever you want to call that episode. Just so they can to move on to Star Wars now? Ugh.....there are no words.
- The cast was on social media raving about the ending....puh-leeze, save it.

I’m probably in the minority, but I liked the last two episodes a lot. I feel like In a way, people ended up where they really belong, especially when it comes to the Stark family. So I’m fine with it.
Jon Snow was my favorite character, and without spoiling too much, I’m glad he ended up where he did too. That’s where he belongs. I don’t think I would of said that at the beginning of season 8, if you told me what was going to happen to him. Cool show

I am thoroughly underwhelmed. We waited 7.98 seasons for this ending?
So Bran played everyone (especially Jon) and gets to be King. OK... I liked the quiet, angst filled Bran way better than this King Brandon "Why do you think I came all the way here?" the Broken. He has known the entire time what will happen and has used everyone as pawns in his game. No one, including his sisters, Sam and Tyrion who know of his abilities, realizes this?
So many questions ran through my head even before the credits rolled. Why wasn't Arya killed taking out the Night King if she had no further use in the story? Where was the leader of Dorne and his army before the council to elect the king? Wouldn't Grey Worm and the Unsullied have killed Jon on the spot for betraying Dany? Why would they take him prisoner and let Tyrion live as well?
Let me get this part straight because I'm not sure if I completely understood it. Jon Snow, the honorable man he is, decides that he swore to Dany and will continue to serve her even if she will destroy more cities, kill thousands of innocent women and children and probably kill him for being the rightful heir to the Seven Kingdoms. He only decides to betray Dany after Tyrion reminds him of his sisters' fate if he is gone and after hearing Dany's reasons for her slaughter of King's Landing. In the end, I think Jon understands what Bran has done when Bran tells him he has always been where he was supposed to be. If not for Bran, Jon likely would have married and lived happily ruling with Dany and King's Landing likely would have been intact. That is why he breaks his punishment and leaves the Night's Watch to join the people beyond the wall.
I think we all predicted better endings than what we got. I understand that this is the ending the author created and that the writers and producers were time strapped but this was pretty disappointing. The last two episodes left more questions than answers and in many ways contradicted seasons/years worth of character build up and story lines.

Why isn't Jon called Queen Slayer?
Jamie did the same thing Jon did, essentially only Jamie actually saved the city... yet he gets branded King Slayer for the rest of his life...
I mean I guess it goes without saying that two final seasons of bollocks is concluded with bollocks but what the **** haha

Why would the unsullied and dothraki even let him live as a prisoner after murdering their queen? Jon being a Targaryen and rightful heir to the throne never came up in the aftermath and council meeting? Why would the North secede with a Stark on the throne? Why did no one care or do it themselves too?
There's tons of questions about the ending, but what's the point now. They just wanted to end it and move on too.
