Wonder why Drogon didn't roast Jon Snow? Because he's a Targaryen?

Arya's ending was fine. I wanted to slap Sansa, but she will be a good Queen of the North.

The Unsullied are going to Naath to protect Missandei's people from slavers and enjoy some peace, I assume. They definitely need to chill, so good ending.

They have been trying to make Bran a little more human, so I think he's not the worst choice for King, especially with the all too human Tyrion as Hand.

"They need to chill"

People are asking "what was the point of making Jon a Targaryen" and i think that was it. No one else could have gotten past Drogon or survived Drogon's grief.

Crowning Bran was a good ending to the TV series. I hope GRRM goes another route.

I can't seem to remove the smile off my face at how it all ends for GOT - Bran, Sansa, Arya, and Jon all survived. Martin was brilliant tying it all up like that. And, I liked that Danaerys had to be killed off - after destroying Cersei, only to become another tyrant herself. I also liked that Bran was elected. And, Sansa crowned Queen of her own kingdom - she was radiant in her happiness. And, there was a beaming Arya sailing off to adventure and discovery. Jon moving off with his direwolf, Ghost, and all the Wildings for a new life. And, Tyrion even survived to become Hand and is left dealing with the politics of the Council - absolutely marvellous - I had to chuckle at Tyrion's fate.

I think that with some of the negativity of those who didn't like how the 8th season went had to do with people not wanting GOT to ever end. But, Martin wrote it in a way that we all know that all their lives will carry on.

the only thing that worked for me in this ending is that dracarys survived...Jon killing Danny did not make sense to me..you dont kill someone you truly love..not on purpose..it is a ruined ideal to believe killing one to save thousands is the greater good...killing never makes things right and i resent the writers for perpetuating this lie

I respectfully disagree. I believe one who purposefully burns thousands of children and innocent people alive should die, regardless of who or what they are and who they love or who loves them. Dany turned bad, like spoiled milk. Can't have that mentality going into a more civilized, peaceful time.

Hey, did anyone see the water bottles? lol I can't decide if the crew was having fun with us or was getting lazy.

i'm not implying it shouldn't be dealt with..but killing will never give a lasting peace to a people/ country that uses it as a means to an end. It defies logic. Violence begets violence. Peace under such circumstances will never last.

i've been reading about where dracarys could have taken danny.. it won't come to fruition since the series has ended but i'm feeling a bit better..

I understand your point but you have to take the setting into consideration. In those times, it was far more likely to kill than to imprison. Also, how would the story work with Dany not dead? It had to happen for the storyline.

I've also been reading what different folks think happened afterwards with Drogon and it's super interesting. I'm tempted to go back and read the books as there's a lot of in between that didn't make it onto the show.

My feelings are mixed … I liked the first 10 mins and the last 15 minutes of the episode.

Jon was the only one who could get close enough to kill Dani - agreed

Since when did the dragons have feelings re: the iron throne - weird

Too much pontificating from Tyrion - tedious
