Game of Thrones: The Final Season

[sprytel]

I watched this Sunday evening after catching the Avengers Endgame at matinee. It was quite the day for epic nerdery.

I have always loved the way Game of Thrones subverts the classic tropes of fantasy, but in a way that doesn't seem unearned. *SPOILERS* To have the killing blow come from Arya, instead of Jon or Dany, and to do it with the catspaw blade that started the whole sage... that was a perfect moment. */SPOILERS*

The dark was a little frustrating... I get they were going for a "fog of war" thing, both to amp up the story and to reduce CGI costs on what must have already been a ridiculously expensive episode. But it wasn't so bad that it put me off completely.

Oh, one more thing: *SPOILERS* How great was Alfie Allen!? His acting has always been among the best of a really talented cast, but that was a masterclass on how to film a death scene. */SPOILERS*

they really did an amazing job with all of the actors showing the absolute terror and desperation they were feeling

It was a spectacle for sure! I agree, it was too darn dark... Although that darkness was very well used with the Dothraki charge... wow to that!

Outstanding episode last night. So much going on that I wasn't even sure who was still alive at the end. The last three episodes are going to be special.

[Nostalgiabuff]

now, that was epic. I just wish it hadn't been so dark through most of the battle, it was really hard to tell what was happening at times

[Klosterheim]

It was really good. An amazing time for excellent fantasy.

Wow, that’s all I’m saying...wow...

[Sideshow Spock]

Seriously, I think that was the most incredible 80 minutes of television I’ve ever seen in my life.

‘Nuff said.

Tormund got a lump too, just lower down. Then had a happy little accident.

There is something weird about watching someone grow up and then seeing them nude. I think the scene worked for who the character is now but I would not have ordered it.

Yeah, it definitely works for the story but it did seem kind of awkward and uncomfortable. But hey, Arya was a virgin so I guess it's fitting.

That's awesome! Tormund had some great lines last episode. And I agree with Hector, Brienne being knighted by Jamie was really touching, got a bit of a lump in my throat during that scene.

I can do without both to be totally honest.

Then it wouldn’t be Game of Thrones...

[Werewolf]

Funny how many cringe at nudity...but are okay with bloody violent gore, lol.

I can do without both to be totally honest.

[Nostalgiabuff]

Classic!
