My version of the ending
So I know if I thought of it, a lot of you probably have as well. However I just really want to share how i would’ve ended season 8 and was wondering if you agree or how yall wouldve ended it.
- First thing, The battle of the against the Night King. Changes i would make include: Jon and the night king have a final battle, Jon ultimately loses and Bran uses his warg powers to control the dragon and defeat the night king. This would make the two characters involved with the night king the most actually be the ones to defeat him, and actually give Bran something to do. I think everything else was fine, hiding in the crypt was kinda ridiculous but it wasn’t to bad, that’s my biggest change about that.
-Jaime: Either he dies in the battle against the night king army, or I always liked the idea of Arya actually continuing her assasin plot, and her killing jaime during this battle. somehow word gets to cersei and she’s led into depression, making her want to jump the same way tommen did, not wanting to live without jaime, and arya stops her and kills her, or she has now idea and arya comes in wearing jaime’s face and kills her. i think the second option or a slight mix of the two would be awesome.
Dany: After Cersei surrenders (either from depression from jaime or arya killing her) Dany does start to go crazy from the madness and wants to burn kings landing, a reborn from the ashes thing, but instead Jon stops her, convinces her that this isn’t the way. Dany is convinced by Jon. Dany goes on to take her rule at kings landing, and im stuck between either them getting married and Dany keeps the throne, and happily ever after. What are y’all thoughts?

For all the hate Season 7 now gets, the shows own fans collectively have it as the 2nd highest rated season.
I've mentioned this before but pretty much every time I see any Game of Thrones content on social media, it's always flooded with comments about how the last two seasons sucked. I understand the final season (Although I personally don't think it's as bad as people say but I do hate how it ended) but I can't understand why so many people say that about season 7 because while there were some issues with it at the time, I don't recall that being the prevailing sentiment back when it aired.
Here is how each seasons is rated on IMDB:
Season 1: 8.97 (465k votes)
Season 2: 8.81 (389k votes)
Season 3: 8.93 (462k votes)
Season 4: 9.24 (505k votes)
Season 5: 8.69 (464k votes)
Season 6: 8.98 (804k votes)
Season 7: 9.02 (460k votes)
Season 8: 6.4 (1.17m votes)
So from best to worst: S4, S7, S6, S1, S3, S2, S5, S8.
S7's worst rated episode is the opener "Dragon stone" which is 8.5 but every season has at least one episode with that rating or lower with the exception of Season 4 (Which is my favorite season and IMO arguably one of the best seasons of television ever made) and it also has a top 5 rated episode in "Spoils of War" (9.7).
I really enjoyed it. I get it was a bit rushed and the travel speeds were goody but it had a ton of moments that had me glued to my screen:
- Arya as Walder Frey poisoning his men.
- Bran making it to The Night's Watch
- Dany finally reaching Westeros
- Dany with Varys and Melisandre and then Olenna
- Sam meeting Jorah and healing him
- Greyworm + Missandei
- Arya seeing Hot Pie and Nymeria again
- Euron attacking Theon (I'm Theon's biggest hater)
- Jon seeing Tyrion again and meeting Dany
- The Sands getting killed
- Unsullied attacking Casterly Rock
- Jamie and Olenna
- Every second of Spoils of War
- Dany and Jorah reunited
- Tyrion and Jamie reunited
- Davos finding Gendry + him meeting Jon
I know a lot of people call a bunch of this "fan service" but I found the majority of it really entertaining and I really don't believe people if they say they didn't. Even when they all linked up to go beyond the wall and when everyone collided in King's Landing.
As I've said before, I'm convinced the average fan of the show has had their memory jaded by the final season because how so many fans can say a season that the shows own fans have over a 9.0 sucks is puzzling 👍

Brann's dilemma
Just watched a reel and Brann says to Sansa, "I can never be Lord of Winterfell, I'm the three eye Raven"
He then accepts King of the 6 kingdoms with his infamous, "why do you think I came all this way?" Drivel.
Make it make it sense because it seems like BS to me!

Game of Thrones Ending Idea
I'm watching GoT again after a long time in the background and finally getting into the horrendous final season. What really bothered me is how quickly/early they got rid of the Night King. If I were to make this show again I would have changed up so the series would have a final grand battle.
To me the whole point of the GoT was meaningless as the army of the dead would have taken them all out. I would have preferred had they got ready for the final battle and lined up at Winterfell nobody would have showed up. They would have been standing all night and no white walkers. They find out later that they went around them south to kings landing area etc since they were NOT prepared for them down there.
It just feels like the long night was only a threat to the North and not all of Westeros or even Essos. Why would anyone else in this fantasy world really care if it won't even reach them. It should be an epic threat which brought blizzard wherever it goes.
Upon hearing this the whole Winterfell team is racing down there to stop the night army. The last 3 episodes could have been epic battles with John Snow taking out the night king. Dany could have died saving John. John could have become the reluctant King as everyone else was taken out.

Littlefinger got what was coming to him even if I personally found the way it happened kinda silly. I was wondering if he didn't get caught the way he did would he have been after to continue his machinations, or would he had been caught regardless?

Reading the Book after the Show
How do you all feel about reading the books after watching the show? I watched the show last year but just now started to read the books but I feel like I have missed out on excitement or how good the books could be if I read them first. They are still good but I just wished I would’ve read the books and then seen the show.
