emilia_clarke Finding the words to write this post has left me overwhelmed with how much I want to say but how small words feel in comparison to what this show and Dany have meant to me. The mother of dragons chapter has taken up the whole of my adult life. This woman has taken up the whole of my heart. I’ve sweated in the blaze of dragon fire, shed many tears at those who left our family early, and wrung my brain dry trying to do Khaleesi and the masterful words, actions (and names) I was given, justice. Game of Thrones has shaped me as a woman, as an actor and as a human being. I just wish my darling dad was here now to see how far we’ve flown. But to you, dear kind magical fans, I owe you so much thanks, for your steady gaze at what we’ve made and what I’ve done with a character that was already in the hearts of many before I slipped on the platinum wig of dreams. Without you there is no us. And now our watch has ended.
There were some nice moments (small council being a big one) but it just felt too happy of an ending for this kind of show.
I feel really hollow after that. Nothing makes sense. Nothing had any meaning. Stuff just happened.That was a scene that really bothered me, actually. Like, what is Bronn doing on the small council? As Master of Coin? How is Sam Grandmaester when he never even finished his training at the Citadel? (Presumably - we have no idea how much time has passed) I can't believe Brienne is head of Bran's Kingsguard when she swore herself to Sansa.There were a lot of little things like that. Like, there is no way the other lords of Westeros would be cool with the North being independent and still putting a Stark on the Iron Throne. You mean to tell me once Sansa was like, "Hey, cool, we're not gonna be part of the Seven Kingdoms" that Yara and the still-unnamed Prince of Dorne weren't like, "What a great idea! Us too"? Why is Tyrion, the prisoner, running the meeting? Why is anyone listening to the Unsullied, especially since they peaced out back to Essos?Gah, I'm making myself upset. I knew that with this show I wouldn't be entirely happy with the ending, but I was hoping there would be some part of it that would be satisfying to me and honestly one of the only redeeming parts was Jon finally patting Ghost and, like, that's a really low bar to meet.
Jon lives in exile.
But he lives in exile with Tormund...
Arya is a lone wolf, wandering around the world as there's really nothing for her in Westeros anymore, Jon lives in exile.
