About to hit the 5000 post mark on the old thread, the first season 7 trailer today seems like the right time to start the final Game of Thones thread.
I'm going back to the original rules pre-2015. I don't think we need supervision or bannings. Just don't be a dick. Post anything you find online that hasn't aired yet inside of spoiler tags. That's pretty much it. I think we can all handle that...

And I wanted Cersei dead, but not like that. I was hoping Jaime was going to shove his golden hand through her chest, but apparently he went all bitch bag too and really was just wanting to get back to her and save her. Pure shit.
At no point over the last however many seasons has Jaime ever shown any inclination at all to harm Cercei in any way. Absent her trying to blown up King's Landing King Aerys style, what is the logic for him doing that, other than satisfying our (the viewer's) desire to see that bitch die painfully by being betrayed by the one that she loves?
I'm not sure that Jaime's character arc isn't the best of them all. At least he's consistent -- a genuinely good guy with ONE stunningly massive, overwhelming, blind spot, which is that his morals and common sense go completely out the window where his twin sister is concerned. [Reply]
Fuck this show. Seriously. I can't believe the way they are ending this shit. It makes no sense and comes across like a script written by a 5th grader. This is possibly the most disappointing thing since the Star Wars prequels...When you think of how absolutely awesome this show was, to end it like this is like spitting in the face of the fans.

Maybe I'm equating book Jaime and where he's apparently headed to show Jaime. That's where I'm screwing it up.
I'd take Cersei dying at Arya's hand or being eaten by Drogon over getting crushed beneath King's Landing, though. [Reply]

I absolutely would too, but you don't get satisfying endings all the time, especially in Game of Thrones. Sometimes Hitler just blows his damn brains out before anyone gets to him. Sometimes a building falls on Cercei before anyone else can get to her.
It's not tremendously satisfying, but it's not patently stupid. The list of patently stupid things is too long for me to worry much about not being perfectly satisfied. [Reply]

Yep. Makes the Night King the most bad ass character in the show, being the only one to kill a dragon, and 2 of them at that. Instead, he shares the feat of killing a dragon with deus ex horny pirate. [Reply]

I just can't...
At this point, I'm just hoping we don't have a surprise guest appearance by Jar Jar Binks... [Reply]
