Finished up Game of Thrones...

A few random observations.

1) Both Dany and Cersei went full Fuhrerbunker 1945 at the end there.

2) Dany was not a student of John Locke. Consent of the governed? Social Contract? The signs of her being a homicidal lunatic were always there, I suppose.

3) Bran the Broken. Eh, ok. My sense is he's going to be a hands off monarch. Good opportunities for graft if you're on the council.

4) Gotta question the value of the advice given by the respective "Hands".

5) Whither JonAegon Snowgarenen...at least he didn't die of oneitis like Ser Jorah.

The overwhelmingly negative response is a bit overdone. They could have definitely used a couple more episodes to flesh things out.

Yeah I actually think the major points as shown on the show would work -- AbsolutVT03 05/23/2019 10:07AM

Yes and no -- WestyHokie 05/22/2019 10:59AM

Yeah, you could see Dany coming from a mile away. -- reestuart 05/22/2019 11:53AM

Spoilers The problem was that development was not earned. There was no -- AbsolutVT03 05/22/2019 11:32AM

Oh, it was very earned, IMO -- WestyHokie 05/22/2019 1:32PM

Also back in Essos she told her followers that their enemies would -- HokieNoVA 05/22/2019 3:04PM

Couldn't you make the same argument about Arya then? -- AbsolutVT03 05/22/2019 3:08PM

Yep. Arya is pretty horrible too. ** -- HokieNoVA 05/22/2019 3:53PM

At least your consistent. I imagine many of the people saying that -- AbsolutVT03 05/22/2019 5:25PM

Arya is an assassin; she wasn't positioned as a queen -- WestyHokie 05/22/2019 3:41PM

We're not talking about who is positioned to be -- AbsolutVT03 05/22/2019 3:48PM

We're talking about whether characters' paths were unearned -- WestyHokie 05/22/2019 4:58PM

I have issue with your continued dismissal of opposing viewpoints as -- AbsolutVT03 05/22/2019 5:19PM

I didn't "miss the signs". I realize the show tried to rationalize it in -- AbsolutVT03 05/22/2019 2:59PM

Agreed. they really could have done much more... for instance, I would -- HokieSignGuy 05/22/2019 11:27AM

They needed a couple more seasons. -- VTDante 05/22/2019 10:40AM

I feel like if they had made both Season 7 and 8 ten episodes long and -- AbsolutVT03 05/22/2019 11:37AM

As for #3... -- EDGEMAN 05/22/2019 08:35AM

Can he though? If he can see everything he certainly didn’t intervene -- MExpos27 05/22/2019 09:36AM

His ability to see is proportional to the smugness of his stares. ** -- HokieSignGuy 05/22/2019 09:49AM
