Available here if you want to reread it again with the benefit of hindsight.

I just feel because I know that everyone dies that I have a super hard time giving a fuck about Tommen, Margery, or any of the other characters that literally just fucking explode. It’s so hard to give a fuck about them.

Now this is my first full rewatch my wife said she hardly remembered the series and for some reason I remember every single detail so she just wanted to feel like we could talk about it again. So we started it. I watched season 1-5 twice before season 6 aired. And man does season 6 suck really hard. I remember watching it when it came out and feeling really good about all the pay offs that finally happen.

Cersei gets revenge, Danny becomes queen of the Dothraki, Jon wins the battle of the bastards. And in my mind these were all epic moments, but then I watched them again and I was like “this makes 0 fucking sense”.

Why do the Dothraki all just kneel to Danny? Because she killed the khals in the city where it’s forbidden to spill blood, and then they worship her because she didn’t burn alive? Like what? Aren’t they afraid of black magic?!

Jon’s search high and low aid to his campaign against the guy who he’s trying to get revenge on for raping his sister, so that very sister doesn’t tell him that she has a whole region of banner men completely willing to help. So he is left to basically sacrifice everyone that’s loyal to him and their house!?

And then Cersei, let’s have 3 seasons of build up for the whole Tyrell house, and this whole faith militant, and faith shit, just to blow it all up and none of it fucking matters at all?

Sorry I know this got kind of season 6 ranty when the post was about the high sparrow story line, but it was all bugging me so much.

I think one of the main problems of the final seasons was how the show portrayed the White Walkers and Cersei as equal threats. Hell, the final season was split in halves, each tackling one of them!

The White Walkers are obviously the real threat. They're an existential one. If they win, it's over. No more squabbling over politics. So how do you defeat them? Unlike what the show showed (ha?) they can't feasibly be defeated by brute force. It's just... too easy. Too predictable. Specially when they really don't have goals. In the final stretch, the Night King goes after Bran but after he reaches him, he just stares at him. No clever use of Bran's powers, no subversion of prophecy, he just gets stabbed by Arya.

If they really wanted to commit to the idea of the Long Night, they would've had a small battle at the start of the season and then retreated till they reached King's Landing. And then... something. Cersei dies, the Throne is destroyed, something. Something better than what we got. What do you guys think?

I've found that as time has gone on I haven't viewed Season 8 as poorly as I initially did. It was rushed that's for sure but most of the story outcomes I've found to be alright with the passage of time. Arya and Sansa's endings were perfect. Jon's has aged far better for me. Bran as king is still strange. Jaimie going back to Cersei seems like a good analogy for addiction, he relapsed and unfortunately died. Daenerys had shown signs of snapping for a long time. Other than everything being rushed I actually don't mind the last season.

So I’m rewatching the series again and I still don’t understand this scene at all. Like, Theon is a creep who would definitely finger a stranger for no reason, but he genuinely doesn’t know that that stranger is his sister. Yara, on the other hand, knows exactly who Theon is. What the fuck is she doing? Also, later we find out she’s gay. Reddit, explain.

What does that mean

So I've been rewatching Game of Thrones, because apparently I hate myself. Also, i know we've all bitched about the gradual regression of Tyrions character after Season 4. However, i dont think I fully comprehended just HOW RIDICULOUS this man is after Season 6, until now.

All hail, the hand of the fucking queen! He does nothing but get drunk and make unfunny jokes at other people's expense after Season 4. Despite this, he has the audacity to counsel a queen (who has conquered 3 of the biggest cities in essos, freed thousands of slaves, become the first ever khaleesi to rule an entire khalasaar and bring them across the narrow sea, and given birth to 3 LITERAL DRAGONS), that she should "commit to a blockade around King's Landing" because she's not here to be "qUEen oF tHE aShES." i mean seriously shut the fuck up, Tyrion.

What does he even know about being a conqueror? The only time he achieved anything was when he got Stannis' army killed with wildfire, stored by Dany's father when he was king. Other than this, he has fought no battles and won no wars. He was hand of the king for like 5 minutes before Tywin came back and made him master of coin or whatever and somehow he thinks he knows how Dany can gain control of westeros? I mean his advice was that a dragon queen should stay seated in a Castle (Dragonstone) that was SO IRRELEVANT to the seven kingdoms that not even a squatter took up shelter in there, after it was abandoned and had no ruler. Like my dude, she made you hand of the queen because of your expertise on westerosi culture and the lords and ladies that rule it, not because you're a great war strategist!

The only real reason Tyrion gave this terrible advice is because he did not want Daenerys to storm the Red Keep and kill Jamie and Cersei. He should never have accepted the position of hand of the queen because he didn't have the guts to do right by Daenerys and give her fair advice on how to get shit done. I MEAN THIS GUY LITERALLY USED WILDFIRE TO STOP STANNIS BARATHEON!!!!!! WHY IS ANYONE TAKING HIM SERIOUSLY WHEN HE SAYS YOU SHOULDN'T MURDER PEOPLE TO WIN A WAR?????? HOW ELSE DO YOU WIN A WAR BTW? Lady Olenna met Daenerys for 5 minutes and still gave her better advice than Tyrion ever did. BE A DRAGON.

And don't even get me started on his pathetic attempt to win Cersei's affections with the "yOuRE nOt A mONstEr" bit. That was ridiculous. She has been nothing but a monster since the show began and has been absolutely vile and cruel to him all his life. She's literally the worst person in the show, and top 3 of the most vile and wretched characters I've seen in any book or tv show so far (and I've seen A LOT).

Also, let me get this straight. According to Tyrion, Cersei is not a monster even though she destroyed the Sept of Baelor with literal wildfire and killed thousands of innocent people just because she was forced to do a naked walk of shame BECAUSE OF HER OWN STUPIDITY. But Daenerys, who lost everything she fought for and EARNED, is a monster because she was rightfully pissed off at the arseholes who were responsible for it?

Tyrion screwed Daenerys over and made her lose every alliance and everything else she had. Then he found out about Jon's heritage, and manipulated him to kill Daenerys, the woman they both swore to serve. And then, instead of telling everyone that Jon was the true heir to the kingdoms, he took a 180 and convinced all the idiots left alive to make bRAn tHe bROkEn the KING of the seven kingdoms! Seriously, what the hell was wrong with this guy?

Tyrion was literally my favourite character for the first four seasons. But upon my re-watch, the bad writing and the over the top shitty redemption arcs have me beyond infuriated. MAN SRSLY, FUCK THIS GUY.

Also, I cannot stress this enough but FUCK D&D! I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THESE CUNTS FOR RUINING ONE OF THE BEST CHARACTERS ON TV. The only thing they did for me, is provide shitty content enough for me to make shitty memes and gain 60% of my reddit karma from r/freefolk. But even so, fuck u D&D. Consider my expectations fucking subverted, you dicks. If anyone on here is offended by this rant, then fook those kneelers too. And srsly, fuck you too Tyrion.

True evil is that which is pure and dispassionate, and incorruptible; attributes parallel to those of the law.

I name the Night King, the Lord of ice, who threatens to bring an end to the time of men. I name him as the direct servant of evil, manifested as the Great Other.

It is he who embodies law, since the beginning of what time remembers. Natural and inexorable.
