Number9 Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Guess in a way the ending gave everybody a chance to say how they would have ended it. So, instead of an end to conversation about the show it generated more. There's never a great end for a story like GOT. King ended his Dark Tower series with the first page of the first book, as if the world of Roland was in a loop. They have mentioned spinoffs of GOT. Maybe they will address the ending in them.

Number9 Posted May 22, 2019 Report Share Posted May 22, 2019 Why Jon is so popular. I always thought something special would happen for Jon Snow. When they found the dire wolf, there were four pups. So, Jon made easy acceptance of giving one to each of Neds other children. Then they discover a little white runt and gave him to Jon. The runt grew to be the largest and most fiercest of the litter. I kinda figured him being elevated to Commander of the Watch was that special thing. Jon is a lot of people’s favorite because he went on to become a great warrior, better than Rob. Jon also got the girls, even the babe with the hot ride. Ned is always referred to as the man who did the right thing, but he killed his own child’s innocent dire wolf. Jon was a very special character, who stood against all to stop the taunting and physical abuse on Samwell. They were calling Samwell names and beating him with practice swords, only Jon refused to allow the abuse. Later, Samwell killed a night walker and discovered a mountain of dragon glass. GRRM intertwined his story so beautifully to move characters from low to high, unfortunately to dead quite often as well. I think a lot of us identify with Jon and see ourselves as heroic, but how do we really act in our own lives. Are we the one making fun of others who are not as strong, as smart or as rich as we are. Do we have his courage to stand up and defend the abused or even people who abuse us. Or do we just stay quiet. Great books help people to build character. We see who we would like to be in Jon Snow and that's why I think he is such a popular character. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
titanruss Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 Greyworm was a shit character that no one really gave a damn about that was made into a bigger role.. mostly I think because they realized all of their main cast was white. but that’s just how it reads to me. Was he a big character in the books? rns90 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Greyworm is one of those supporting characters that was given more screen time than needed (Sam is another one) and ended up being waste of screen time. titanruss 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he a big character in the books? Samwell was a big character. The book spent a lot of time on his back story, which was pretty sad. His dada hated him because he was overweight. He took Sam out on a hunt and told him he had a choice. Accidental death or take the black. Not sure if HBO included that but it was large in the books. The books contain over 415,000 words. That's why books are almost always so much better than the movie or series. A book can travel back and forth all over the planet and through time in a single chapter. There were a lot of characters who didn't make it to the movie and like you point out, some had their presence expanded. Edit::415K is the word total for just one of the books.

NashvilleNinja Posted May 23, 2019 Report Share Posted May 23, 2019 I've seen it said that Dany's death was predicted in that season 2 finale vision scene. She walked through the throne room, as she eventually did in the finale. But then she goes north of the wall to a tent where Khal Drogo is inside with their son. They said this vision was of Daenerys meeting back up with Khal Drogo in the afterlife, after she died. She says to Drogo, "maybe I am dead and just don't know it yet."

Read that, too, and enjoy the forethought. There is more out there to explain different moments in the final season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal favorite list: 1) Season 4 2) Season 3 3) Season 6 4) Season 1 5) Season 7 6) Season 8 7) Season 5 Season 2 EDIT: Had to switch 3 and 4 around. I liked sesson 3 more in general, but fuck Walder Frey, Roos Bolton, and Tywin Lannister. May they all three of them burn in the 7 hells.

TitansFan777 Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 If the show somehow maintained the quality found in seasons 3 and 4, there would not be a single person saying it wasnt the greatest show ever. Those seasons were some of the greatest TV has ever put out. Its not a knock on the other seasons, but those two years in particular were just flat out amazing.
