They called Bran "Bron" right up to the last episode
Even literal seconds after people repeatedly say Bran 😂 love them so much
🤣
They called the actual Bron "that guy". 😂
Bran as in Brandon! 😂
I could not say missandei or milesandre or whatever either. Im not sure if i can yet.
I wish The Hound had lived. I think "Arya and The Hound" would have made for an awesome spinoff. 🙃
Tale of two assassins!
I'm imagining a sitcom with them both sharing an apartment. The Hound beheads the mailmain, and Arya comes in with her hands on her hips and says "Oh you" and the audience laughs
Would be awesome. They still kinda could though. Could show more of them traveling. Hell even add some stuff. Idk. Wish we could've got it.
Super missed opportunity having him die fighting Gregor. Him going West at sea with Ayra would have been the best.
Well we didn’t see the Hound die and he’s escaped certain death more than once…
Drogon was like "FK this throne, we out of here"
Them: All hail BRAN the broken!
Ya'll: Yay for BRON!
😂😂😂 I think this is the first reaction i've seen where people weren't mad they chose him lol
Ya knownit didn't occur to me when watching for the first time but when bran sentenced him to the nights watch bran knew it didn't exist and there was no need for new ones and he obviously knew the wildlings were still there so he actually gave him the most free life he could have
That's right. 😊
Jon got the best outcome he could have asked for. He is a tormented soul. He lost the first love of his life in his arms. He was betrayed and stabbed by his brothers. He saw nothing but war and death. Then he had to kill his second love, which was the right thing but the hardest thing to do. Now he gets to be free with northerners and his dog.
I love how throughout the entire show Tyrion started to tell that joke about the brothel like 10 times and never finished it.
Yeah great running gag!
Tyrion walks into a brothel with a honeycomb and a jackass.
Madame: What can we do for you?
Tyrion: I need a woman to lay with, for mine has left me.
Madame: Whatever for? And what's with the honeycomb and the mule?
Tyrion: My woman found a genie in a bottle, and he granted her three wishes. The first was for a house fit for a queen, so he gave her this damn honeycomb. The second wish was that
she have the nicest ass in all the land, so he gave her this damn donkey...
Madame: And what about the third wish?
Tyrion: Well... she asked the genie to make my cock hang down past my knee.
Madame: Well that one's not so bad, eh?
Tyrion: Not so bad!? I used to be six foot three!
The reason the end makes ME mad...the ENTIRE book/show was based on "Who is Jon Snow's mother?" and then in the end it DIDN'T F♤CKIN MATTER 😤
Bran saying "I can't be Lord of Winterfell, I can't be Lord of anything" and then he's made king 🤦♀️ so dumb.
Cersei's death was pitiful & annoying. After everything SHE did?? Most unsatisfying death ever!
Sansa only cared about becoming Queen of the north and Daenerys only cared about the Iron Throne. I thought her throne at DragonStone was WAY better but 🤷♀️
It did matter who his mother was. It mattered to Dany. And it didn’t matter. Which is the whole point. He was no longer a bastard. But his mother does not make him a king. His ability to fight and gather mean to fight doesn’t make him king. Robert was a fighter and a bad king.
The writer & producers both stated it was the entire premise. I didn't come to that conclusion on my own lol His mother is important because it consequently determined who his father was...making him 1. not a bastard, like you said, and 2. the true heir to the throne
Jon’s whole story line just flushed down the toilet.. I was so aggravated when I saw it the first time. Bran literally did nothing and he’s the king lol. I get he can see things but he should’ve been master of histories or some crap, not the king!
@@nikkiplatt316 People just don't get it. He didn't sit around doing nothing. He put all the pieces into play in the second of the story. He is where he is because he knew how to get there. He knew telling Jon about his ancestry would drive a wedge between him and Dany. Once he had all the pieces in place at winterfell he lured the night king in, knowing that Arya would strike the final blow with the same dagger meant to kill him. The sad part is he knew that Dany would kill everyone and said nothing. The problem with Kings and advisors, kings don't listen. With Bran as king, he knows all, has no ambitions to keep his family in power, no cruel children to takeover.
@@NandR no, I get that. I don’t see how it makes him fit to be king still. Jon showed he always lead with his heart and did what needed to be done and not out of ambition. Why does it matter now who his birth father was? Just dumb to me.
Tyrion: Who has a better story than Bran?
The Fans: Literally everyone else!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am happy that Tormund survived and Jon led the wildlings back north of the wall to their homes.
😂😂😂
I do think Bran was the best choice; who can deceive him?
If anyone has a better alternative, I would like to hear it. And no, it could never be John after what happened.
Perhaps George Martin finds a different outcome, more satisfying for everyone, I am still looking forward to his choices. May he finish the story before he gets too old.
@@FredtheFrisianI'm not saying Bran is a bad idea for King. He is the best choice since he's the Three Eyed Raven. I'm poking fun at the dialogue. I don't think anyone feels like Bran has the best story. Every other character had a better story/storyline than him. If Tyrion had said "You can't lie to this dude, he knows everything, he seems the past, the present and the future, he should be King" then we all would've nodded in agreement. But like "Who has a better story?". Everyone.
I believe that GRRM told them Bran was going to be King in his novels should he ever finish them and that works for the books because Bran is a much bigger character in them than the show made him. The opening chapter of the first book begins with Bran, if I'm not mistaken. So Bran becoming King makes sense for book readers, maybe not so exciting a choice for the show watchers tho.
@@charleyMD17 Thanks for the comment and all the best from the Netherlands!
“Literally everyone” uhhh no… no one’s story compares to that of a boy becoming a godlike being who can time travel and has the entire memory and history of the world in his mind. It didn’t even remotely compare to a dragon queen, a face mimicking assassin or a bastard turned heir. Not even close.
BJ you hit the nail on the head she became the mad queen. And if go back and watch Danerys first instinct was always fire and blood her advisors always talked her out of it she had it in her the whole time
Highgarden told her to be who she was, a dragon ❤️ she was the only but still ..
"You just killed that boy's mama". 😂
Bran would make a good ruler. He can see the enemies coming and Bran will be 10 steps ahead of them
You guys missed the joke at the council where Edmure Tully stood up thinking they were maybe gonna make him king and Sansa tells him to sit down - he was the one who was captured earlier and they kept threatening to kill him, but his uncle was like "Go Ahead!" at Riverrun
I think the fact they didn't even remember him made it more funny.. he was that insignificant
@@evie3148 True, his character was that insignificant. But Kudos to the actor: Tobias Menzies. Strong performance in the series "Rome" and downright scary and evil in "Outlander". He definitely can convince in shy, cowardly characters as well as leading, strong characters.
@@alexhaas9653 No hate to the actor! He did a fantastic job, loved him in outlander!
One of the best parts of the show is how well they developed the 2 Stark girls. They went from nearly helpless to AMAZING. That is why you love them, because they overcame through struggle.
Arya was never helpless. She cut Joffrey up in episode 2.
Sansa is a boring character. One of the worst in the show. She should have died.
They are awesome. They both came a long way. Sansa became less entailed by the sheltered life she led thanks to her parents who taught her nothing. And Dany became mad and more entitled as time went on. Despite that I hate D&D reduced both women to cliché cat fight.
Vikings next guys? I watched GoT 3 times and somebody showed me VIKINGS. Please don't sleep on that series!
Yes please!!! Vikings
💘 Katheryn Winnick!! 💗💗💗🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
❤ Vikings!
Ayyyyyyy 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Oh I have seen this series and wondered about it! Thanks!😊
Dragon made a handicap ramp for Bran
😂
Thanks for watching this. It was fun.
I feel like Drogon burning the throne was a display of understanding of how power corrupts. It corrupted his mother. He understands John's choice, whether he likes it or not.
I don't accept this either, they can vote for who shall be the next King & that King should've been Aegon Targaryen (Jon Snow) the only punishment I see is putting Bran on the Iron Throne. Sansa Sansa Sansa, she said the North will be an independent kingdom then whyn't everyone else be independent? I don't accept how D&D handled this last season, which was rushed. The last 2 seasons not having 10 episodes just proves they had no clue what to do. Thank you, the reactions were nice.
He never wanted to be king. He ended up where he was happiest with the Northeners North of the wall.
@@imthewolf1 When did Jon ever say that he was happiest on the other side of the wall? I will tell you, never. It wasn't until season 8 that this ridiculous turn about was hinted at by Tormund. The only time he was happy north of the wall was with his brief time with Ygritte and that's it. His whole character arc was wiped out along with most of the other characters.
@nycsue he didnt not in so many words. his friend/ Tormund told him he was a northerner, meaning he belonged there and Jon didn't deny it.
Jon would be like a more sensible robert though. He doesn't want to rule. Both great soldiers, but they don't want to play the games. He's honorable and doesn't want to constantly watch out for conspiracy.
Jon imo is the only one who has a good ending besides Sandor
@@imthewolf1 What wall? The Night's Watch is irrelevant now, and the wildlings migrated south... The entire concept is completely idiotic 🤪
So here's what happened when the show originally ran. Those of us who paid attention to rumors on the Internet heard about leaks about the last two episodes that were so ridiculously stupid that none of us believed them. And then they happened exactly as described and we were shocked, horrified and disgusted in real time. The worst part is after "The Bells" we already knew how silly the finale would be. We we all sat there aggravated. It was a huge public roasting of the creators which resulted in them losing the Star Wars project they were supposed to do. It was thought that they stopped caring about GoT because they were concerned with that instead. Whoops.
I believed the rumours, no matter how stupid they sounded. I had watched the show get worse with each season after 4 ended, the writers slowly working in plot armour, tired old tropes and deus ex machina, massive plot holes, bizarre decisions, characters inexplicably getting dumber and making mistakes they never would've made because the writers were too incompetent to think of any other way to get them killed, teleporting around the world in one episode when the same journey in season 2 took an entire month, and so on and so forth.
So yeah, when I read those rumours, I 100% believed it would be that shit.
Nothing about it was silly. It’s one of the best finales. Y’all just got mad your fairy tale fan theories didn’t materialise
@@Aethelhald True, GOT was peak in Season 4. It was all downhill after that
@@captainfilip7188 It's literally rated 4/10. It's one of the worst finales ever.
In John’s conversation with Tyrion he’s being very careful and measured with his words because he knows the guards are listening outside. Tyrion can speak freely, because he’s already under arrest. I think John already knew what he needed to do and went to speak to Tyrion for this reason.
I remember binge watching all 7 seasons up to the day prior to the season premiere of 8. And I’ve never gone back to watch the series again, THANK YOU SO SO MUCH Asia & BJ for letting me relive this fun series again with you two! Now House of the Dragon is about to have y’all back like y’all never left!🔥
23:50 One more Bronn for the road. 😂
Well, Asia and BJ, I said the exact same thing, "I can't accept it," and I never have. The way they 'D&D' left the book and decided to 'go their own way' with this series angered me more than any show I've ever watched. To me, this was the greatest series ever created. The choice to give us 6 seasons of brilliant foreshadowing, and then just discard it was the biggest waste and wrong ever perpetrated on a book, and a series. And yeah, I'm still angry. Everything we learned, everything we were told, everything cleverly foreshadowed, was abandoned. This is what I meant about Tyrion's quote about everything turning to ash in your mouth being more about the viewers, than the characters. We spent years watching and waiting only to have the last two seasons rushed so D&D could go to another project. They couldn't wait for George R.R. Martin, they had to get it 'out of the way'. Google "‘Game of Thrones’ creators confirm that they had no clue what they were doing." There are many articles about how D&D ruined GOT, and they did. Utterly, and completely. When Aria killed the night king instead of John, they said they did it that way 'because it's be cool.' What happened to honoring the story, following the book, all the foreshadowing we watched for 5 1/2 years? Still a great series to a point, but it could have been so so much more satisfying to see it end as it should have. George R.R. Martin probably shouldn't have agreed to do the series until the books were done, and he had time and didn't do it. In the end, I would have rather waited for season 6, 7, and 8, rather than see it rushed and ruined. So, it's now the greatest and worst series of all time, at the same time.
💯
wait for martin and have the actors and crew not knowing when or if they will come back to the show diana rigg got to finish her role on game of thrones before she passed away. and having the fans going when will we see the show come back. when the new V tv show ending after only 2 seasons it was terrible to not have any ending to it. it was left in limbo
Look how far our Stark babies came. From having their family ripped apart and destroyed to ruling the 7 kingdoms.
Vikings is a great show to watch.
The torn up throne at the end was seen by Dani back at the wizards tower when she had those visions trying to find her baby dragons
Damn y'all did not cut that beautiful clip of Dani on the landing with Drogon's wings. 😭😭 First, I was well and truly shocked and excited at Drogon destroying the Iron Throne. Because how does he know what it is or what it means? It indicates a level of cognizance that was never once addressed in the series. So you cannot tell me that he didn't take Dani to Asshai to be resurrected. I simply won't hear it. 😆😆
It made absolutely no sense. Dragons killed Targaryens in the past and if Drogon was so damn smart, he would have burned Jon and not that stupid throne. However, as dumb as this show wound up being with all of the character assassinations, I wasn't even surprised at such stupidity.
The dragon also understood jon and Dani loved each other and that Jon didn't kill her out of hate or greed, he did it out of compassion. Maybe you should try to be more understanding, like a fictional dragon.
😆😆@@nycsue
00:45 We expected a bad ending, because that's what you get when you don't have book material to base the episodes on anymore. That happened from the season 7 and onwards. That's why the downfall happened!
No, that happened from the end of Season 5 onwards
@@Dan_dan281 Oh! There was book material only up to season 5? I thought season 6! 😇
Season 7??? It started with season 5!!! 🤣🤣
That Dragon knew his mama was crazy and there was no point in blaming anyone for what ultimately happened to her. 😆
He also new the reason for it was that stupid thrones that's why he burned it. At least that's what I think.
I don't think so, John Snow is a Targarian, Drogon can't really do anything to him because of his bloodline.
Nah. His mama got stabbed by a sharp object, and throne is made of sharp objects, so he figured it was throne that stabbed her, and went for revenge.
Yeah well he's still the one who did the frying.
@@docbrown2045 That's, not at all true. The dragons accepted John because they smelled his blood. Its part of the lore. John was a Targaryen.
I was waiting for Dany to snap the whole time. She would start to crack a little from time to time, but I KNEW the Mad Targaryen was going to show its face.
Thank you somebody who saw she was unstable at times and became more entitled as time went on. She had slaves become her slaves and called it free.
You'll both love house of dragons...it's set years before but still same vibe.
The reason Drogon didn't hurt Jon was because he was the true King with Targaryen blood and the Dragons were always loyal to the bloodline.
Re-watching the series now is when it is really fun. You will notice all the things you missed the first time through. I have enjoyed this series with you all the way. Thank you.👏👏🙂🕊️
John Snow is A Targaryen, the dragon couldn't kill him, but did John end up as leader of the wildlings? I never knew. The plant at the end means winter is over!
Every time they called Bran Bron, all I could think about was the Rush Hour 2 blooper where Chirs Tucker kept calling Jackie Chan by his real name instead of Lee.
Don Cheadle: "His name is Lee, God damn it!"
Did you notice that Podrick was knighted? I was happy that two of my three favorite characters survived until the end. Brienne, Tormund, live on. RIP Llyanna Mormont.
Asia & BJ .... time for Dexter...!!! :)
that would be AMAZING!!
...⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️...
Arcane or Stranger Things =) ... should be next
VIKINGS NEXT PLEASE 😂🎉 it's a awesome show I know you both will like it
fk yeah, vikings was awesome
So glad you guys watched this series!
I know it wasn't exactly your cup of tea and i know the last season fell short due to the books not being there, but I enjoyed your reactions to it non the less!
I loved Game of Thrones when it first aired, but I have SO enjoyed watching it again with you guys, and so glad you got to experience it, too!
Love the screen reading of final episode when Dany's fate was revealed.. . Kit was devastated, while Sophie was enjoying every second of his pain. Maisie had hand over head in disbelief, but when she saw Kit's reaction she moved her hand from her head to her mouth.. Emilia revealed season 8 was best season ever on premier night. Her eyebrows would make her the world's worst poker player.,.
The most common interpretation of Drogon burning the throne is that the dragon somehow (and in the books, it's implied that they have a certain degree of intelligence beyond what humans give them credit for, so it's not unthinkable)understood that the Iron Throne was the true cause of Dany's death; the want of it drove her mad, as it did every single person who ever coveted it or sat on it in any way. The Iron Throne was like the One Ring--as long as it existed, no peace would ever come. It was born out of fire and blood, and thus was incapable of begetting anything else, so in order for Westeros to move into a more peaceful age, the Throne had to go.
Years ago, I remember the team of receptionists at work chatted about this series for hours and hours. It was like "essential TV viewing".
Nice ride. thanks. Need SONS OF ANARCHY....
Loved SOA!
Right after Tyrian names him Bran the Broken, they say "Yay Bronn" 😂
Arya is literally standing next to someone who knows what's west of Westoros lol.
I’ve resigned myself to how the series ended, except that I wished the Hound had lived and ended up going with Arya to explore the west.
I love Tyrion and his abject sorrow when he finds them
Reel talk! The comment Asia made for Jamie's history, "he gave me the goods and left me at Winterfell" 😂😂 I scared my dogs laughing! They went from😤 to 😮 when Jon killed his aunt. 😂Great reaction series. 👍❤
Remember, dragons are smart. They don't have the physical capacity to speak, but they are super intelligent. Drogon knew what was up and knew not to blame Jon for it, but that stupid throne and everyone's obsession with it. So he said, "F*** this throne," then took his mama far away.
And it's also rather poetic. Dragon fire made the throne (melting the swords into the throne shape 300 years ago), and dragon fire unmade it.
21:27 edmure standing up and speaking will forever be the highlight of the finale like “why are you speaking? Your own nieces and nephew don’t want you up here!”😂😂😂😂
The way I see it....
John Snow, King Beyond The Wall
Sansa, Queen Of The North
Bran, King Of The Six Kingdoms
Aria, Queen Beyond The Sea
All became royalty. It's the best I could hope for, haha. On to House Of The Dragon!
Me too! The Stark's, including Jon (he is more a Stark) they have all!
Is that in the books, or did u just make it up ? How can Aria be a queen when there is "nothing there" ? Is John a king or just a part of the group ? I like the imagination but come on bro.
@@dejOkh well, books are not complete yet. Like I said, that’s just the way I see it. Maybe I’m wrong, but to me the Starks end up with everything after being down most of the series.
@@cyatic The books will never be completed. The travesty of this ruined show is done. He is having fun with House of the dragon now.
I was never disappointed with how the series ended. The Starks all won their game of thrones!
Dany just matched Sersei. Remember Sersei blew up her own people with that green stuff. She let thousands die by lying about sending help. If not for Arya killing the Night king...thousands of more would've died all because of Sersei's vanity and lust for power.
Plus, if she hadn't chopped off Misendi's head, none of this would've happened.
She knew what would happen after that, so she didnt6give a damn about the people anyway.
😢. I don't want this to end. Hopefully we get House of the Dragon, too
It's on the way which is awesome. I watched a few episodes. Guess I will watch along with Asia and BJ.
Which always surprises me because she was exhibiting this behavior from season one on… you just saw her lean into it.
Wait! I missed the part where Arya told Theon’s sister that if she kept talking about punishing Jon that she was gone kill her.
Tyrion's whole talk with Jon was about killing Daenerys.
Asia missed the stabbing because she said "WHY?" at the same time and missed the noise of the dagger.
Thank you Asia and BJ for all your reactions.
You should definitely watch The Wire next! It's the GOAT!
The dragon had studied all its history books and simply knew about the symbolism of melting the iron throne.
This isn't the real ending George R. R. Martin still has 2 books to write this is why the final 2 seasons were weaker than the others because they caught up to the books and then hbo had to make up their own storylines
I took Drogon melting the throne as the significance of the Targaryen dynasty officially ending, since Jon didn't want the throne, like Maester Aemond, who declined the throne as well. I want to personally and humbly thank you for your patience and reactions with this show. Your attitude has made these reactions all the more better! 😊 Can't for your HotD reactions!
Congratulations on making it through the GOT rollercoaster ride. I highly reccomend House Of The Dragon next, so you can do season 1 before season 2 comes in June
Also watch the video R+L=J it shows all the clues/easter eggs throughout showing Jon's true background
Y’all should definitely react to Spartacus now
I believe Jon will be proclaimed the King Beyond the Wall. Arya will be called the She Wolf of the Sea. Sansa is the Queen of the North and Bran the King of the Six Kingdoms. Their family went from being practically whiped away to being pretty much the most powerful family in their world.
There's a video of The Game of Thrones table read, watching Jon Snow react to how Arya is the one that defeats the Knight King & his reaction to how the relationship between Jon Snow & Daenerys Targaryen was a surprise to everyone. Check it out, thanks.
Encore suggestion for reaction. TRUST ME: Pitch meeting for Game of Thrones Season 8. Have a friend vet it if needed, but you'll really enjoy it & get views.
It’s been a pleasure following you and being a part of this journey.🤙🏼
So glad you guys stuck it out. Was an epic series.
Jon going north was not a punishment. He would be recognized as king Beyond the Wall.
Drogon ate Dany, then cruised up north to be with jon.
Tyrion was the next in line to the throne because Cersi was the last real queen.
Don't forget that the house Targaryen has madness in their genes, so not surprised that Danny went crazy. Also everyone loves John because he is so humble & always sees to everyone else before himself.
no they do not. There is no such thing as madness in their genes. It depends on specific person. Only 5-6 Targaryens were actually mad in their 300 years of reign
Dany became mad but it's still so sad the way she died.....after all these episodes where we loved her more and more and what she achieved. Eventually, she would have killed Jon, Arya, Sansa, Bran,.......anyone who didn't want to "bend the knee".
Yeah that would have sucked, well with Jon, Arya and Bran at least.
Also drogon understood that Jon was Targaryen and in an earlier episode Tyrion states that a lot of people say dragons are smarter than humans
I'll add my 2 cents as I find the decisions in these final seasons a bit differently than most, I think. It was sloppy in many ways but a lot of the decisions were really good.
1. The Mad King who was always depicted as demented and psychotic but we learned he was driven that way by grief the same way grief drove Danny's madness in the end.
2. Jon was depicted as the most honorable man in the show and Jamie was depicted as the most dishonorable man, labeled "The King Slayer" but its more complicated as we know. Jamie ended the Mad King's life to stop the endless killing spree and Jon became the "Queen Slayer" and essentially exiled for his actions. The both coming to the same conclusion is pretty poetic in its duality.
3. The Hound's hatred for his brother originated from the burn on his face. Fire was his only fear in life. His final revenge taking place as they fall into a sea of fire comes full circle.
4. The most tortured family in this show, the Starks, end up ruling everything. You could even imagine Jon being the leader of the free folk. I'm cool with that as
Things I found sloppy.
1. The speed at which they had the war this season left very little for character depth.
2. Arya being the pawn in which we could see the perspective of innocent people. I would have loved to have rather seen her kill Cersei and then dying in Jamie's arms as the castle caves in on them would have been a cooler journey for Arya. Or something of that nature.
3. We're suppose to believe that the unsolid would just let Jon live after we just watched them eliminate without mercy every solder of the enemy. Then just be cool with the decision of leaving his sentence to someone else who just exiles him and then just be like, 'ok we'll leave now' is weird. Don't know how that should have went, but not like that.
4. Small one, but every decision that Robin made at the council made no sense. How does he go from being a complete brat to just following the herd.
5. The entire show was about the decent that drove the 'Game of Thrones' but everyone can all of a sudden unanimously agree who wins is weird. I know they had to have a way to be like, here's the winner. Just felt forced even though I like the outcomes of the Starks being the heroes.
There's probably more on both sides but those are my big ones.
Dany always said she was going to take it, "with fire and blood", she would burn the men in their stone houses and their iron suits. There were so many times in the series when she made it absolutely clear that she was more than willing to be ruthless. She is a tragic heroine and this was her story arc. Just like Stannis always made it clear that the Iron Throne was his destiny and nothing was going to stand in the way of his destiny, and he followed that commitment to his doom.
I've always thought John should have won the throne. Not really sure how.
The one thing I think would have made it better is to reverse the battles in the last season. Deal with Cersei first then the Night King.
Still, I've got it ranked 2nd all time on my list.
Loved the journey guys! You can definitely watch this entire show a few times and still pick up little details here and there. The lore is so rich!
Now it's time to get into Vikings
now they will have to do 3 episodes of that series. they were very long but was worth the watch
Vikings is a great choice!
I was devastated when Jon killed Danny. I have hope Drogon took her to the East and she doesn't die or is revived. And I expected a sequel damn it. You guys did such a great job picking up SO many things that took me several times of watching to catch! This still is the best series ever. See you for House of the Dragon!!!!
….and Drogon said- that’s it with this throne 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It’s time for HOD ❤😊
So pleased to have travelled this journey with you. And we all felt robbed by the previous episode, it still makes me sad!
Drogon burning the throne was so epic and eye opening to the species intelligence... he knew what it was all for, he knew she died for that throne and he thought fuck this shit 😂 king bron!
I just love you guys!!!
❤❤❤
Thank you for this journey!!!!
Happy re-watching!!!
PS The Last Kingdom
Her intent was to "break the wheel", to stop the cycle of those few houses from claiming the iron throne one after another after another... With it, though she also broke herself.
Drogon sensed Jon's love and loss like his own. Saw the throne as the real reason for her death.
The perfect ending imo. Dany gets preggers from Jon. Goes back to Dragonstone to keep safe from the battle against the dead. She dies in child birth like a lot of Targ moms. Jon rules 7 kingdoms with his baby girl ❤
There was a clue to the ending with Bran on the Iron Throne. If you look at the cover of the season 1 blu-ray you will notice the Three Eyed Raven is on the Iron Throne next to Ned.
Jon Snow is a cousin to the dragon. And he wasn’t talking about democracy was talking about a republic.
A.) Drogon melting the throne legit brought me tears of surprise and delight. Animals always know better. Even CGI ones.
And second, as someone who never read the books and only watched and fell in love with this show, I'm still waiting for a spin-off about Arya exploring beyond the edge of the map. The possibilities are ENDLESS!! 🤯
I'm totally cool with and have accepted this series ending (as a show-only fan), but I think I'll always be a little burnt I never got my pirate explorer Arya spin-off 💘
42:07 Give the novels a read, and you'll be hearing the actors as you read 👍👍👍👍
I watched the series before reading the novels, so the last seasons didn't bother me, where I think people's beef was when the series started diverging from the novels, and then concluded the story, which George R. R. Martin still hasn't (and I don't believe ever will) written.
On the other hand, I do feel that the series trimmed away characters and side-stories which really served no purpose at all, other than to pad the pages of the novels, and IMHuO, the series streamlined an overly-bloated story, into a very concise story 👍👍👍👍
It's been a fun ride. Almost like rewatching the whole series over again. Thanks.
You guys should watch The Pianist (2002). It is the story about how a pianist named Władysław Szpilman survived the Holocaust in occupied Poland.
You'll love Vikings, Vikings: Valhalla, The Last Kingdom & it's sequel movie Seven Kings Must Die. Other good shows are Luther, & many British miniseries' The Burning Girls, German miniseries Dark (they have sub title), American show Bates Motel, etc.
I know people have mixed opinions but I feel as if in the end the show was about The fall and rise again of the starks. It was about them losing everything and in the end reclaiming everything as a family. John simply just isn’t a stark. Their parents would be so happy and it is a full circle from first ep of Sansa wanting to be a queen and Arya wanting to be a warrior . It’s the story of fire and ice.
The show was actually cut short by like a whole season because the writing crew was hired by Disney to write the last Star Wars movie. The whole last season was rushed because they had to wrap up many storylines in a shortened amount of episodes. The ending left many fans frustrated even many of the cast. There is no possible rationale for not having Jon end up King...and then being sent back to the wall???? The wall was destroyed by the night king and was only ever in place to protect against the White Walkers (who are dead) and the Wildlings (who are now allies). Made no sense. Anyways....great series....with a frustrating ending. I enjoyed watching you watch it.
it goes to speak of the great parenting of Ned and Caitlyn that all of their children became kings and queens. Bran king of the 6 kingdoms, Ariya queens of the seas, Sansa queen of the North and Jon king of the free folk. Bc he has always had the real north in him!!
Rewatching this series with you two has been so fun! It's made me appreciate the plot more than on my first watch, even though I wish the last 2 seasons were longer.
In terms of timing (and potential views), you guys should check out "House of the Dragon" next. It's a prequel spinoff, and the 2nd season is set to premiere this June.
Jon cannot be burnt by Dragon's fire as he is also a Targaryen.
The last season was a good example of terrible writing and lack of plot, none of it made any sense and watching it in real time with the huge 2 year wait to get this was an insult, the last episode in particular was cringe, Bran the broken.... 🤢
The starbucks cup in the last episodes was drogons, matcha,extra honey.
