They absolutely blew it, it's incredible. I am not a traditional watcher but I agree with this assessment. I am struck by the smallness of the story and the stakes. Okay Cersei is a bad guy and Danerys is going mad. Anyone of Cersei or Jon or Dany or Genry end up on the throne, what is the point? What are the stakes here? Why should I care? Tyrion says the stakes are the right person should sit on the throne or else the people will suffer? Really? Those are the main stakes here? For an epic series - there is nothing monumental about the conclusion. It doesn't have quite the scale or immensity of an epoch ending event. It is just there - just petty humans - attractive young people for the most part - squabbling. Even End Game managed to have real dramatic stakes and a conclusion that felt big and bold. Where is that here? bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glóin the Dark 1,222 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 If the ending of the story boils down to so-and-so securing the throne, I'll likely be in agreement that it is, overall, a disaster. I don't think that's how it will turn out. More likely than not, the major theme of the conclusion will be a fundamental change to the system of governance, not just the personnel. 8 minutes ago, Stefancos said: How did Bronn get into Winterfell, with a crossbow to threaten Tyrion and Jaime in a room somewhere?

crocodile 8,017 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 It was a clunky and awkwardly put together episode... but more intriguing than the previous three. I suppose my interpretation of Daenerys was on point after all. She bothered me ever since that Khal Drogo funeral pyre sacrifice scene in season 1.

That actually felt like the Bronn from the books. In the books he's is definitely not a friend to Tyrion, just his mercenary/bodyguard and in it for himself. Also the theory that he purposefully made sure Shae did not leave King's Landing on Cersei's request. The show has humanized him too much, because he's a good actor and people liked him.

He's been pretty consistently portrayed as an amoral character throughout. Tyrion asked him whether, upon being ordered to slit babies' throats, he would have done it without question (like Janos Slynt), and Bronn's response was "Without question? No. I'd ask how much."
