what were you expecting a king to do? The best king is a boring one Wait 2 years, give 500 troops to the watch on the condition one member leave that watch and follow all orders, recognize Jon as the son of Lyna and Rheagar, restore his house to Dragonstone, and in the event there is no 3 eye raven to take the throne, have Jon's line take it. So he can have evil, mentally ill Targyrean grandchildren flying around on WMDs?

I'm often surprised how important people view lineage when it wasn’t a concern in the show or books. I’m glad Jon’s ridiculous plot line wasn’t used (The flaw was in the buildup of it), but even if it were the hope would be Jon is a boring king.

King Bran the Boring, First to send me to sleep, Ruiner of the 8th season. When a Starbucks cup outshines you, you've got problems. I honestly find it hilarious how people are upset that their favorite character didn't get to be dictator of the world and are mad a boring character did. Game of Thrones is the title of the show, it's not an actual game. It's a drama. Not a sporting event, it's a story. Michael Phelps didn't just lose to some nobody. The last episode ended with extremely satisfying conclusions for each and every remaining character. And instead of some fan favorite winning the iron throne to rule another absolute monarchy, wage more wars, see more rebellions, and have evil heirs, they decided to do something completely different. They actually broke the wheel. I thought it was great. I find it hilarious you think I'm upset. I'm mocking the crappy ending, I wasn't that fussed about who ended up on the throne but I do find it funny that a character that was relegated to 'prop' became king.

Well he also said he hasn’t even started the final book so hopefully he learns from this. Of course Dany is way more complex in the books so that by the end of it it makes more sense or for those that thought she was Dragon Hitler all along, it won’t be as rushed.

That Starbucks cup was the best bit of foreshadowing in season 8 - you're going to need a shit load of caffeine to make it through that last episode. so the goal of the king would be to figure out what would stop you from being sleepy? That’s very niche

Did you call her Dragon Hitler when the same exact shots were shown after she conquered Mureen? It's important not to let music and color filters to manipulate you to that extent.

Bran should sit there and shut up or say something boring that helps the realm.

Other than that I found it all a bit dull and anti-climatic. Wasn't expecting stuff to be blown up, my favourite episodes have been the more political and character driven.

One had pretty music, the other didn't. Sure, the context of what led to each of them mattered, but "Dragon Hitler" is clearly a knock against her lording over her troops, not the events that preceded it.

Could have been better. Could have been worse. But this is the ending we deserved: What we really need is a prequel or spinoff featuring Drogo... I want a spin off of The Hound and Arya traveling around solving mysteries and having adventures. They had some of the best chemistry on the entire show.

I always hated Dany while everyone else loved her, so I feel vindicated. Her death felt Shakespearean, and I liked it
Drogon's reaction to Dany dying was my favorite part of the whole episode, and I wish we knew what happened to him.
I'm glad John was reunited with Ghost. I feel mixed on his ending, but he truly is king of the North, and free. He got what he wanted.
The reat was terrible. Bran was boring, his arc was boring. If they were goung to do this they should have made him more interesting throughout. And I'm annoyed Sansa lived.
