Why the fuck would I get offended by profanity?

because you're too sensitive...you're not fooling me with this profane act. Just let out your inner lollypop...nobody will judge you

profanity is key for working with tools: "profanity offers a comfort not available in prayer" - Mark Twain

How did anyone find out that Jon killed Dany? Nobody else was there and the dragon took her body, the evidence.
I wish Jon would of killed Grey Worm.
Not a fan of Bran becoming the King.

I was wondering that too. Jon could've just said they flew off somewhere.

Didn't Bran already know he was going to become King?

Grey Worm and Missandei were two of my favorite characters until they "hooked" up. The only good thing that came of that was getting to see Missandei naked (DAMN!!!!!). Grey Worm became very unlikable plus he's an unsullied and can't do anything with a woman anyway.

LMAO, true! But at least we can still watch porn or something to take care of things, plus I'm assuming at one point in your relationship you got to get it in. Grey Worm gets one of the hottest chicks in the realm to want to be with him and he can't actually do anything about it.
 
Clearly Jon was thinking dire wolves before mad queens and also once you go wildling you never go back. As for what is West of Westeros?

That's an ending I could've lived with, except for Arya couldn't have had Jamie's face if he was still alive.

That's the story I was sort of expecting coming into the final season. Certainly, the Night King et al ultimately marching on Kings Landing. That's at least a thousand miles from Winterfell, with the Eyrie and Riverlands in between, so the death toll would have been staggering and quite the CGI spectacle. I like the way Winterfell plays out, although, I'm not sure how they get all the prime characters away. They'd need some sort of diversion or blockade to run like hell south and still put up a formidable army to knock on Cersei's door with. I like that the Valyrian steel isn't strong enough for the Night King, and something stronger needs to be manufactured. Something that would require cooling within the beating heart of Dany for instance. The weirwood source is pretty good, but destroying it is too terminal, as this is supposed to be a threat that can't be permanently vanquished, only silenced for a millennia or so. I guess that's not important for the TV show, though.

It probably makes a little more sense to swap Dany and Cersei's final dispositions. Dany, probably grew up lonely, timid, and scared. Removing people she's grown close to, would probably push her more toward sadness and hopelessness than the rage and bitterness as portrayed on the show. Whereas, Cersei grew up entitled and portrayed all the unpleasant qualities that come with entitlement. She actually knew her mother who she feels was taken from her by the little monster. She's had three children all cruelly taken from her. She was publicly shamed. She blew up the sept with hundreds of innocent and decent subjects. If any character is likely to go "mad", it would be her. Instead, she concedes the battle, cowers in tears at the end and only longs to be far removed with Jaime. One final attempt at making her a sympathetic character. I don't think so.

Maybe the weirwood tree grows back after 1000 years? I don't know.

I didn't think season 8 was as bad as a lot of people thought. It did have the feel of "we said this was the final season so you writers end the thing by episode 6" ....average ending

I agree that the ending wasn't as bad as people are making it out to be. A bit of a let down sure but what else were people expecting? A Shakespearean ending? The problem is that the expectations were so insanely high that nothing would have been satisfying to everybody. Martin has written some amazing books that are worth reading but he hasn't been able to finish them for a very good reason. Bringing that many intersecting storie lines into a satisfying ending has NEVER been done before and i don't think Martin will be the first to do it.
I thought that more main characters should have died in the final two episodes and i thought that everyone sailing off into the sunset at the end was a little corny and cliche but i blame that on Martin for not being able to finish the story. HBO did the best they could with the material they had at the time, it's not their fault the story is written in a way that makes it impossible to finish.
