| The episode was beautifully done from the directing side, every shot was beautiful, as expected from Miguel Sapochnik. High Sparrow Margaery Mace Tyrell Loras Tyrell Pycelle Lancel Kevan Lannister Walder Frey Tommen All dead lol. Biggest death count of somewhat important characters so far. There's almost nobody left to play the "great game" anymore lol. I love Jon but he's sometimes so stupid, why send Mel away. He's trying to be honorable like his father was but this will only cost him. I'm glad he got crowned the new King in da Norf, but I feel like Littlefinger is trying to turn Sansa against Jon. "And here we are, two Kingslayers" Walder Frey to Jaime, this scene had me rolling lmao, sad to see Walder go. Poor Jaime tho. He should just ride to Casterly Rock and chill there. Ofc take Bronn with him. I'm glad we got to see Old Town, beautiful shot of the town and library, btw when the library maester said "Grandmeaster will discuss this with you" to Sam, I was expecting we'll see Marwyn. As for Bran's flashback, I don't even care if Jon is a Targaryan now, even if he finds out about this he'll stay Stark. It was awesome seeing Lady Olenna shut down the Sand Snakes lmao. Danny got all those houses and power on her side, too OP D&D pls nerf Danny. If in the end all of this comes down to Jon vs Danny, Ice vs Fire shit I'm with Jon fuck Danny WHO OWNS THE NORF, WE DO. |

| like the finale. good death toll for once. time to wait forever for season 7 |

Mikasa said: "Doesn't have anything to do with WW" What? I'm saying WW aren't those super evil bad guys who just walk around ordering mindless CGI Zombies till they do some PIS and conveniently die. "Doesn't have anything to do with Dragons" What? I'm Saying Dragons aren't those huge convenient plot devices that we only get 1) after the villain had proven himself big enough of a dick and 2) when Dany needs to quickly obliterate or convert an enemy. We were talking about the meaning of the name of the series ASOIAF, my argument was that it partially refers to the WW and the dragons, which you seemed very quick to dismiss. I don't know how your response relates to that, I never said dragons are or aren't plot devices or anything of the sort. Mikasa said: "So you think that instead of editing the series in such a way that we get to see all the story arcs progress as continuously as possible throughout the runtime of a season, it would be better to have the show play out in real time, meaning we might get something like three consecutive episodes of the same story arc? " No, I'm saying the writers should stop writing stupid shit. You think having 3-episode arc is the only possible solution to stop people from teleporting? How about them just not fucking teleporting? How about keeping Varys in Westeros to prepare everything for the Queen's Landing. Did he seriously just go there to get summoned by a bell and say "Fire an Blood"? You're thinking that people think their teleportation is bad because it's jarring direction and "too quick" episode/scene-wise. We're talking legit math and geographical plot holes here. I argued the exact same thing on another forum: "In all seriousness though, it seems like the showrunners decided that the effect of having the entire "troupe" on board for that sweet last shot was more important than preventing another huge implicit time jump. It wasn't an entirely necessary decision, as Varys could have simply met up with the rest of them in Westeros, but it's no big deal either way. " You see, I acknowledge that the way characters travel distances isn't portrayed in an entirely convincing way, but as oppsoed to you, at least I am willing to arrive at the obvious conclusion that the show has huge temporal jumps between scenes. No characters are literally teleporting (so arguing it is an actual plot hole is a stretch), you know that and you are getting worked up over a triviality. The writers are not that stupid, no matter how hard you want to believe it. They have to consider way more factors than you can even imagine when they write this show, and they obviously arrived at the conclusion that "teleportation" issues were less significant than what is happening in the story. No, Varys didn't just go to Dorne to say "Fire and Blood", he obviously made some kind of deal with the Dornish and the Tyrells, the true nature of which will be revealed next season. Varys then went back to tell Dany about the Dorne/Tyrell alliance, as he wanted to deliver the information first hand and didn't trust another messenger with such sensible information. |
| Just when I thought it'd be hard for them to top or equal last week's episode... Another great episode and the music was superb! Couldn't be more hyped for next season. This episode pretty much confirmed that Jon Snow is the son of Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen. KING OF THE NORTH! KING OF THE NORTH! Also was nice to see Arya back in Westeros.

Oh man, you fell directly into a trap. :p Arguments like these have no effect on these people, as they usually claim that they still enjoy the show overall, or that they watch it because they are hopeful that the show is going to get better. Sure, some of them are probably telling the truth, but the immense cloud of negativity that they spout off after every episode almost makes me believe that what some of them actually enjoy more than the show itself is shitting on it and the people who like it. Also, providing actual proof of how many people loved the episode is just going to confirm to them what they already think: that the majority of people are stupider than them. |

Actually he would still be Jon Snow, or Jon Hill. Don't confuse bastard naming customs =) It doesn't matter really because knowing that he has Targaryen blood is enough. And legalizing a bastard isn't impossible. |
Relevant: Rotten Tomatoes on the recent episode: "Best. Season. Finale. Ever.", currently the episode stands at a 100% approval rating with an 9.8/10 average. Obviously braindead critics that have been bought by HBO, how in the hell coud they not see that Varys teleported to Dany at the end! |
| Also relevant: someone on reddit pointed out that Dany's fleet actually has Tyrell and Martell ships in them (proven with screenshots). Completely eluded me on my first viewing. Now we know for sure how and why Varys went back. edit: And before some of you immediately start assuming that the Tyrells and Martells all teleported to Meereen for no reason: there is no reason to believe they did. It would be much more sensible to assume they met somewhere closer to their target (i.e. somewhere along the Narrow Sea). |

| Dany finally going to Westeros. Finally. The best show ever. Better than all other anime I've seen. Cersei, get ready because the Targaryen are coming. |

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| On a side note, I think Sansa may turn on Jon next season, if Littlefinger manages to turn her round. This could be interesting, since Littlefinger is now one of the few smart ones able to play the game. In any case, I hope he doesn't get reduced to some character who makes fatal mistakes due to pining after Sansa. |
| Loved it, maybe more than the last episode battles are fun but im in it for the power play and lots of set up here, lots of character death. *Slow clap* on Cersei power play when it doubt just blow everyone you hate the fuck up in one place. Lol at the kings reaction tho just be all "Fuck this im out." I swear it was done on purpose to match the memes. Was it me or was lady mormont giving john the "call me" look just saying political marriage happens young enough on game of thrones. |

| OOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Varys had SHIPS! Now it all makes sense, my bad guys! See I was under the impression he swam all the way, given the his light weight due to his lack of testicles, THAT is why I thought it was unrealistic. Turns out he had ships. Are you fucking kidding me? Also, why the hell would he take two god damn fleets all the way with him to Dany, and make a U-turn? To give the cameras a cool shot to work with? To alert King's Landing? They could have spent that time invading Casterly Rock. Or taking care of Euron's fleet. -------------------------------- By the way, what the hell is up with Jaime and the writers? Kicked out of Kings landing, does a mission, goes back to a dead son, gets kicked out again, goes to another mission, gets back again with another dead son. |

Kicked out of Kings landing, does a mission, goes back to a dead son, gets kicked out again, goes to another mission, gets back again with another dead son. It was you who used the words "teleportation" and "plot hole" in regard to Varys getting back to Dany, so yes, countering it with the fact that the episode actually shows us that he went there using the Martell fleet is a valid argument. Your reasoning implied that the writers forgot that Varys was still in Dorne prior to the last scene, but they didn't. How can it be a plot hole if it is obviously just a time jump, albeit an implicit one? See the quotes below. I also already responded to your U-turn accussation above: SyrioFRL said: And before some of you immediately start assuming that the Tyrells and Martells all teleported to Meereen for no reason: there is no reason to believe they did. It would be much more sensible to assume they met somewhere closer to their target (i.e. somewhere along the Narrow Sea). We don't know where the last scene is located, for all we know they could already be close to King's Landing. Also, notice the meaning of the word narrow in "Narrow Sea". Even in the case that Varys did go back to Meereen, and even if it was just for the effect of that last shot, it is obviously an insignificant detail when it comes to the plot. They could have added an additional scene of the two fleets meeting in Sunspear first, and then show us the last scene of everyone heading for King's Landing or wherever. It would have been much less effective from a dramaturgical standpoint, but the rest of the series could have played out the same. Always going for the most clear-cut, consistent, unambiguous plot with no regard for effectiveness is unrealistic, counterproductive, and nonsensical, especially when it comes to a high fantasy series of this gigantic scale, and especially when considering this show's production circumstances. Here are quotes from Bryan Cogman and GRRM I mentioned above: "The timelines between the various storylines don’t necessarily line up within a given episode. For instance, the ‘Northern Tour’ Jon and Sansa embark on would probably take a couple weeks, but Arya’s storyline over the past few episodes only spans a few days. We realized a while ago that if we tied ourselves in knots trying to make all the ‘story days’ line up between all the characters the momentum would suffer." "A Song of Ice and Fire is told through the eyes of characters who are sometimes hundreds or even thousands of miles apart from one another. Some chapters cover a day, some only an hour; others might span a fortnight, a month, half a year. With such a structure, the narrative cannot be strictly sequential; sometimes important things are happening simultaneously, a thousand leagues apart." PS: Honestly, simply getting more defensive and aggressive is not going to help anyone, and is, quite frankly, very immature of you. It really sounds like you are just arguing out of spite, and I hope one day you will find your peace with whatever inner demons are lurking inside you when it comes to this show. |

| Last two episodes really made this season godly good. Once again GoT proves why it's the best goddamn show in the world and when all is set and done will very realistically make a good argument for being one of the greatest TV shows of ALL TIME! Overall, it was yet another solid season for GoT....easy 10/10 for me and now to play the waiting game for season 7. |
| Weeks/Months could have already passed before Dany's army took sail. You can clearly see different sigils on those ships not just Dragons. You guys want to see Varys plan his travel? eating and shitting on his travel from point A to point B? fingering his ass while shaving his head? |

On the other hand, that implies her death won't be slow and torturous, or that she won't be burnt alive. |

| Okay here's my opinion. Episodes 1-6 were good but definitely felt rushed compared to previous seasons. Episodes 7 & 8 were disappointing, especially the latter. Arya getting stabbed by the Waif was retarded. She's smarter than that. Episodes 9 & 10 were phenomenal, A+ episodes. Some of the best in the show, if not thee best. It shows that GoT still has a lot of writing potential. I was worried after episode 8 that GoT was going to turn to shit. |

| Man I am going need a lot of anime to keep me busy till the next season. Love the bit where R+L=J was confirmed. I guess Cercei can be considered for the title of the Mad Queen. |
Rhaegar was married to Elia at that time so seeing how he's a child out of wed lock with another woman it still makes him a bastard. And bastards get nothing if they're not acknowledged by their fathers like Ramsay was. |
|
| Oh boy so many people liked the finale? Didn't think I'd be in the minority O_O There were so many plotholes in that last episode, I don't even know where to begin. From Cercei blowing the queen up and being surprised that Tommen commits suicide to Varys' teleporting ability in the last scene. While I was glad that Daenerys finally used her dragons to fight, Cercei just being able to kill everyone else who's important in King's Landing is just horrible writing and clearly just an attempt to get rid of a lot of characters for the next season. It was never so easy to get on that throne, just kill everyone else, no one will ask any questions! Worst season so far, I probably should start reading the books from now on :/ |
Gator said: to Varys' teleporting ability in the last scene. I don't get why people say that we all know that time between cuts isn't instant, days or weeks could go by in a single cut. Varys left for dorne in prior episodes made the deal with the parties in that scene then we clip to other things happening. during that time probably days even a week or two pass for their part of the story and when we clip back the fleet is assembled and on its way. Hardly teliporting. |

| This has to be the best episode in Game of Thrones ever, I mean it really helps that there's positive resolutions to most major character plotlines, well until we reset again in Season 7. I'm really hoping TWOW is out before Season 7, and actually extends beyond most events happening in season 6. |
 |
| GoT season 6 was so good. I can't believe there are people who think it's the worst season and the only good episode was it's finale. Where were those people when season 5 was airing. I almost didn't bother with season 6 because of season 5. |

|
| I also thought that this season was pretty weak, but thankfully the last two episodes saved it. Also, I have to admit that Jon looks super hot and cute with his hair tied back (ʘ‿ʘ) I hope he keeps it that way! Geez, that year will be a torture of waiting. This better be rewarding. |
  |
| The last two episodes were just so well done. Both episodes are definitely in my favorites. Ramsay finally got what he deserved like Joffery. I do think they got off way too easy, they both should've been tortured before dying. 10 episodes were so quick, I need season 7 already. Well overall, it was a wonderful season yet again. |
 |
| Just waiting for Cersei to go down. Tommen's death though ;-; that was a shock. Barely got anyone I like anymore, but it was one of the best seasons still. |
| I really want to believe that Baelish redeems himself as a character sometime in the future, something like Jaime somewhat did. |
  |
| The King in the North! They finally acknowledged the bastard position. Jon Snow image when he's becoming king always reminds me of Robert Baratheon. |
