Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I was surprised it snowed at Kings landing. I thought the WW were the reason for the variable length of summer/winter, but I guess a bad winter is still coming.

Pretty sure that was ash and not snow in the final episode.

It melted on Jon's face? Could still be ash I guess.

I think it is weird he didn't talk to Dany before Tyrion. Is this half an hour after the battle?
 
I find it weird Jon needed to talk to Tyrion at all. Like he's a total fucking idiot at this point in the series. Like mentally challenged kind of dumb.

She just burned King's Landing, killed thousands of innocents. Told Grey worm to kill everyone!

He heard her speech of being ready to start more wars.

And he needs Tyrion to convince him strongly that she's fucking crazy and needs to be stopped? LOL

It's the writing. Jon was never this fucking dense.

And of course. NONE OF what Dany said, was in any fucking way, remotely close to her character. Goodness, I thought Bells of Stupidity was bad.

They ball wrecked this one even worse and so badly, I was convinced it was a parody.

The dialogue in the entire episode, just sucked too. It was corny and cringe worthy.

It must have been longer than that because Drogon was absolutely covered with snow/ash and debris.

Then again, it's not like D&D give a shit about any of of it making sense to begin with. They want cool shots and big moments and don't really care much how logically they string them together.

It's whatever you want it to be and I'm dead serious. The whole plot was whatever D&D wanted it to be. Make it snow, make it ash. It doesn't matter. They just want Big Blockbuster Scenes!

Again, people go back and watch that throne room scene.

Literally everything Daenerys was saying was The. Exact. Opposite. Of everything she said this season about Jon's heritage. Total opposite.

Just outta nowhere she's super thrilled he's Targaryen. They were born to rule together and break the wheel together. No one else's opinion matters but theirs. The fuck? The last time she spoke to him she said he betrayed her by spilling his secret. She killed Varys for spreading the word behind her back. And now...she couldn't be happier!!

I'll say it again. All of that was meant for Jaime and Cersei. That whole entire scene.

Is it the first long Night one?

I'm mildly curious just to see how they explain their way around the NIght King problem.

I mean Old Nan tells us that during the first Long Night that children lived and died in their castles in darkness.

But...how??Because if that thing was alive, how did ANYONE live a full life? It would seem that he'd only need a year or two to kill everyone south of the wall?????

Last I saw it was under a codename "Bloodmoon" or "Bloodraven" or something like that, and all of the promo pictures I've seen for it have been those Children of the Forest that Bran/Hodor/Meera met in like season four.

They just didn't do a good job of showing Jon's struggle with being loyal to Dany since he bent the knee and doing what's right. He keeps saying she is our Queen. While not giving him the character to discuss this with in Sam.

I think GRRM will do a better job explaining how these character don't feel safe expressing themselves out loud because of the consequences. I think it will be a theme of the ending of the books of how all these characters are back together but still very much alone because of what is happening around them.

I think it's snow because it looks completely different than the ash in episode 5.

I'm pretty sure it's snow.

King's landing is Mediterranean-type climate, typically hot, and it wouldn't be unusual for weather patterns to fluctuate from day to day even in winter, especially after whatever happens to their climate after the Night King died.

But I wish they would have just picked a look and stuck with it just to keep all the complaints out of it.

Apart from the fact that is not really how weather is depicted in westeros. THe idea is their season are linked to some sort of external factor (magic??) so the seasons are long and consistent. I think the snow coming was a massive mistake and just shows D+D's lack of planning and appreciation of the world martin created in the end
 
Ok close the thread down. We can open it again if a book ever comes out.
