Probably similar-ish conclusion but making more sense hopefully?

It'll be finished, especially now that everyone knows how it'll end. Whether GRRM finishes it or someone else, it's inevitable.

I understand that in the books she's kinda crazy but I've never seen her as crazy in the show until they forced her to be.

I'd have been for an Arya spinoff if her ending was better. Arya the explorer was a lazy and random ending. If it was me, I'd have made her a wandering assassin that rights wrongs by killing people who abuse their power. Kinda like a warped Westerosi take on Batman.

Arya is a killer, I don't think she'd be content to just explore the world.

Oh yeah I know it’ll be finished, I just meant we’ll probably be waiting a decade or so


They knew from whenever they sat down with George and he told them I’m guessing I don’t see the books being that different to the show in that aspect, they just thought they were being clever by keeping it a surprise

A point of note, I picked up the series on Apple, and the picture of the battle of Winterfell is very clear ..... so something must have been dodgy with Sky's version, because in it, i could hardly see a thing

I think in the end they made it so complicated a couple of seasons ago that they couldn't live up to it, instead they decided to discard the Night King and all the different theories surrounding him and simplified it massively. Greyworm holding Tyrion as prisoner and literally letting him choose the next King and then be appointed Hand to that King is pretty dumb going. He's never accepted any authority but Dany's yet he's happy for all power to suddenly reside in a motley collection of lords who have made the journey down there.

I guess Jon going north makes sense anyway but once the unsullied leave (and presumably the Dothraki) then there's no one left who's going to care about enforcing his exile. I get why Bran was made king but its a bit unsatisfying when they've spent such little time on his character. I do think there's a lot more they could have done with him but they never bothered. Also don't see why the other lords would see Bran allow the north to be an independent kingdom and not demand the same for themselves. Realistically anyone could easily challenge Bran to the throne but I guess that doesn't matter now as its supposed to be 'the end'

There is no way that thousands of troops loyal to Dany would not have slain Jon Snow and Tyrion on the spot. Tyrion publicly disrespected her and Jon killed her. Given the fierce loyalty of Dany's troops, that is completely unrealistic.

Also, a meeting like that would have to be called and arranged .... it would be done on greyworms terms, not theirs .... again, completely unrealistic.

Alternate endings they shot did include Jon and/or Tyrion being dead by the end, Tyrion during his trial and Jon sometime after killing Dany, and this would've likely been how

Yeah its odd that those loyal to Dany did not kill Jon.

Unless he went into hiding or something?

Whats also odd, is that they knew it WAS Jon, unless he said so, no witnesses or anything so could have been anywone, or the dragon could have just been all '**** that ****' and taken her to the other end of the world to live!

Again, nothing explained.

No I mean, directly after. He clearly was not their prisoner in the throne room when he actually killed her..
